Missy and Jasons Wedding



After a fun filled week the trip to OBX culminated in the wedding of two of my best friends. Missy and Jason tied the knot on the front lawn of one of their beach houses. Originally the plan was for the wedding to be held on the beach but due to the high winds and lack of actual beach because of the high tides that didn’t work. The decision was made to relocate to a new area at the last minute and it was a great idea. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the wedding and also contributed to the music portion of the ceremony. There were several dinners/parties including a BBQ at one of the houses for the rehearsal dinner which resulted in a crazy game of flip cup and the creation of a ball bouncing game which seemed to entertain us for a few hours. We also taught Linas children about entrepreneurship. After the wedding ceremony and a million pictures (all of which turned out amazing) we had the reception back at one of the houses which was a great time. My only complaint was the catering staff that was slow and not really ready to deal with the amount of people we had. I did sing to the bride and groom who certainly haven’t lost that loving feeling. We danced until the wee hours and continued the party back at our house. I would like to personally thank Missy and Jason for including me in their special day. I have included a link to pictures below.

OBX




I broke the Missy/Jason Wedding into to separate posts. The first of which is a highlight of the week we spent in the outer banks which brought about twenty of my best friends to a huge beach house for a week of hot-tub, yoga, swimming, beach football and of course partying. It was great to be there with everyone and I hear a reunion is in the works. I was the first one to arrive and spent the first 2 days basically by myself in this huge house exploring the outer banks which I had only been to one other time about 17 years ago. The weather could have been better but having everyone there made the crummy, rainy weather not really matter. The week was spent watching Chris Whong fool around with his remote controlled helicopter, eating good food, and Jessa took us through a fierce yoga session. And on the drive home I saw Gravedigger. Score. Below is a link to pictures from that week.

Virgin Festival -- Post

This post is a lot shorter than I anticipated. The only thing I need to dwell on is that the Stone Temple Pilots were amazing and the rest of the concert was ok. Little Wayne, Offspring, Kanye, Foo Fighters were all pretty good but STP was the highlight of my weekend. I don't want to speak to highly of the capitalistic venture that me at V-fest was because that was expensive but I can't wait until next year. This post is a lot shorter than I planned. Oh and Lil’Wayne can’t play guitar and showed up 45 minutes late to his 60 minute set. Also Lupe Fiasco was pretty solid as well.

Below are some pictures.......
