This was a crazy weekend for my special lady and I. First off it was hot and very humid here in VT so any activity was accompanied by a fair amount of clammy sweat. Excited for the rest of this post? Well, alright! So we headed to Woodstock, VT for a full on wedding weekend. Rehearsal party Friday night followed by back to back wedding/ wedding parties in Woodstock on Saturday. Friday was fun w/ some friends, jokes, a few beers and a kind of late night. I was an early close out around 2:30am. BTW, we rented the Miller's House in South Woodstock w/ a group for the weekend. If you are ever in the area and looking for lodgings check it out, nice enough place, decent space for 6-8 and reasonable px. So Saturday we woke up, putzed around a bit downtown and then headed to the wedding parties. The rain was a drag but both were fun and the energy levels were high. So we saw dudes dancing w/ no shirts to Madonna, bridesmaid deciding it was time to show off her undergarments, more sweaty people, pretty good food, a last minute replacement who did a nice catering job, and a naked dude covered in puke (actually heard but did not see that one directly). Quite the shows as always.
Sunday we stopped at my folks for a few minutes and then cruised to friends LB squared for a birthday BBQ. Fun time and again, good food and a few beers. I was running out of steam as we headed to the Wilco show at the Essex fairgrounds. I don't really care for that venue but compared to our last show there the crowd was mellow and the acoustics were pretty ok. The weather was as good as it had been in weeks making it very pleasant... warm but with a cooling breeze. The show itself was great. They rocked a few new tunes but also played a bunch of the standards keeping the crowd engaged. There was some rocking but they did not drop into the sonic abyss which can happen from time to time. It was a good show and second time I have seen them in VT and really liked them.
So now I need some sleep, after work of course!
