Great wedding, great party, great friends.

Steve, et al. — I wish y’all had been there, too. It was cool.

Brad — As you may know, you’re already at least a dollar-a-dozen guitarist. I especially appreciated your soulful solos on ‘Summertime’.

Caroline – Yeah, the drinkin’ may have helped, a bit. It got pretty honky-tonk in there at times. Not to mention, I think that this was the first time that we got some actual moshing action during ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’. I don’t know how well you could see, but there was some damage taken in the pit.

Also, I am proud to note that Jesse is likely one of the most-threatened grooms in history. He deals very gracefully with his fear of us all. I like him a bunch.

And Jesse is a great fellow. He was very nice when I told him that if he hurt Rachael we would hunt him down. He took it very well, I thought.

As for the band, any time we don’t get beer bottles thrown at us, it’s a good gig. And the fact the the other guests were getting lit on Wild Turkey and Everclear only helped us sound better. As I said throughout the night, “The drunker you are, the better we sound.” Truer words were never spoken.

But seriously. You were terrific. And Rachael was beautiful.

Also, as I’ve already told you, you didn’t suffer a loss. You still gots what you done had before. And the way I look at it, you came out PLUS something . . . but that’s for you to tell.

Congratulations, Bubba!
