a dear, old friend got married last night to his match. people came out of 3 decades of woodwork to be a part of the special night. the reception was held at kingpins bowl and brew with all the trimmings minus maybe john turturro. the faces and music that came out of the night just touched my heart. my facial muscles still hurt from perma-smile; not the kind that's plastered on and has no feeling behind it, but the real deal that you cant suppress and you have to go out and get fresh air just to continue. REM played a sweet wedding treat set with original drummer bill berry and rocked us back thru to the mid 80s heydey that we all love 'em for. clay leverett and the chasers and other clay configurations entertained several times during the night amidst bowling on the 6 lanes which were fully occupied at all times during the night. jot 'em down served up the best que in town with sides of mac cheese, slaw, white bread and sweet tea. the whole night was delicious.

OK this tops my Middle AGed Groupie World Tour this summer!!!
I just discovered your blog and have enjoyed reading it. You are great writer.
What I would have given to see them play with Bill again...we are headed to London a week from today for the show @ Twickenham Stadium. Got backstage in Perugia to meet the band. Found out talking to Mike that he grew up in the neighborhood where we live today! Small world!
I sent your email address to Mr Fowler. He is slow on email...
Cheers,
Hal
