I barely survived the weekend. Over the last 4 days, I have slept for maybe ten hours (and most of that was on the plane). Resting tonight. Back tomorrow. A few highlights:

Talked the groom into drinking Patron shooters at 2:30am...about seven hours from the wedding. We bribed the jazz quintet at the reception to play "Jump Around" by House of Pain. Yeah, I really know how to add class to an event....This story was told a few times as well as this one (Todd and another groomsman were there for that one). Todd's mom, Adele, kept introducing me as the man who got her husband blind drunk at Oktoberfest.

Side story: My last memory of that night was our taking over for the band durning a break. We were actually leading the Spaten tent in John Denver's Country Roads:

Matt, Todd, and Gordon: Country Roads

1,000 drunk Germans: Take Me Home!!!!

MTG: To the place

1,000 drunk Germans: Where I belong!!!!

After about eight hours of drinking, Gordon needed some down time. I wrote down the address to our hotel on a card and Todd dumped Gordon in a cab and sent him home. Adele was NOT pleased. Great lady with an extensive memory.

Santa Barbara was BEAUTIFUL. Had a mariachi cruise on Friday before the rehearsal. Three Words: Over.The.Top.

And thanks to Darren Kaplan for the excellent restaurant advice. The Bachelor Party was impressed with the choice.
