Well, here it is October and I'm about to send out the last "Wedding Advance Sheet" to the guys for the wedding in Newport, RI this Friday. These things always take a lot of work but after 15 of them this year alone, we're pretty used to it.
This will be the last wedding the Slacks have booked for '07 (oh, wait, there's one more in November, up in "Brrrr" Harbor, Maine). I must say it's been a lot of fun. People always ask me "Do you like playing weddings?" as if it's a hassle, like I have to rent a tux and buy a gift and find a date and all that. It's not like I was IN 15 weddings, we were just the PARTY! And we love to throw a party as you know. Weddings are a lot of fun: great locations, super happy people, gourmet food, fabulous dresses, and the inevitable "make a circle" dance contest. Chicken Slacks: We don't make music, we make memories. How's that for a slogan!?
Anyways, we're already booking weddings for next year, and if it continues at this pace, it'll easily surpass this year's numbers. Kudos to our sound engineer Rob Swalley, always the first to arrive and the last to leave, "working for that minimum wage..." as Jackson Browne once said. The man is a genius and makes us sound incredible. Thanks Rob.
We took some video at some of the weddings this season; I hope to put something together for YouTube at some point...stay tuned!
