DJ MFC in the Wild

Weddings, weddings, weddings! Tis the season. Last weekend was a big one. Clint and Rhonda tied the old knot here in VT. It was a great time. From the photographer (Ben), to the DJ (me) to the minister (Reddick Watson), everyone involved was a close friend of the couple. It was great to see almost all of my favorite people in one place. The ceremony was well done, the dinner was tasty, and the reception was an all night dance fest (thanks in part to yours truly on the 1's and 2's and in part to the never-ending dance machine that is Rhonda literally booing anyone who left early). It went exactly as hoped all the way around. The evening topped off with some well deserved fries and shakes in the parking lot at the 24 hour McD's. Who could ask for anything more.


With people still kicking around VT for the week, some of us decided to go camping. It might shock some of you that I know what camping is at all. I even know how to canoe (see picture). That's me not paddling when I should be. Someone's got to document the fact that I was there. No one would believe me otherwise. What you can't see in the photo is Gus lying down in the canoe. He was a champ. He had never been in a canoe and he couldn't have been better.

So vacation continues for another week here at The Program. Maybe this'll mean more posts, most likely it'll mean more Battlestar Galactica DVD rentals from the library. So say we all.

I Miss Cable.

So, I don't have cable yet in my new apartment. I've really been jonesing for some Daily Show action. In the interim, I've been reading news magazines. That's correct, I've stooped so low as to read. I mean, it's not even like Harry Potter magazines where the pictures move a little.

The good news is that I ran into this article by my favorite regular Daily Show guest and all around smart guy, Fareed Zakaria. I HIGHLY recommend reading it. Do it.

North Of The Border

So, what have I been doing lately, you ask? Well, last weekend I went to Montreal for Clint's bachelor party. I'm not going to go into much detail about that. All 4 of you who read my blog can contact me individually for details, but I don't want to send up too many Homeland Security flags by elucidating what went on there in this blog.

This weekend was Reunion at Middlebury. Despite it's weak turnout, it was pretty fun. I saw some people I haven't seen in a while and we played a good show for all the alums. Let's just say Bon Jovi sounds good with the natural reverb of Johnson Hall. I also got to hang out with Gus (see below). That's always fun. That also meant I got to hang out with the ex. Unfortunately that was really fun as well. I sort of envy those people who have break-ups where they don't like their ex anymore. I certainly wouldn't change how well we get along, but it makes for a lot of sigh-able moments. Especially now that singledom has pretty much lost its novelty.

I'll leave you this week with a piece of Jimmy Dugan's sage advice: Always bring a watch with you to the strip club. Trust me, it's good advice.
