So, how many pints is that?

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:51:16 -0400

I've just placed our order for specialty beers for the wedding. We have secured:

50L of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen Natural Wheat

A Hefeweizen by Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu AG in M�nchen, Germany. 5.50% ABV.

30L of Paulaner Oktoberfest-M�rzen

A M�rzen / Oktoberfest by Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu AG in M�nchen, Germany. 5.80% ABV.

30L of Spaten Optimator

A Doppelbock by Spaten-Franziskaner-Br�u in M�nchen, Germany. 7.20% ABV.

We'll also have the usual selection of American macro brews you'd find at a wedding reception. I think.

This is a lot of beer. If you like beer, and are coming to the wedding, please keep this in mind. You might even considering bringing a growler in case we reach the end of the night and it's not all gone. We'd hate for it to go to waste!

Oh yes! Invitations will be going out by Monday at the latest. We swear!

Tuxedo fittings

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:20:20 -0400

I forgot to mention that a few weeks back Bob and Tim were in town, and took the trip over to MEN'S WAREHOUSE with us to get fitted for tuxedos. Erin apparently had this all figured out. The guy told me that you can't wear a belt with a tuxedo.

I'll have to wears suspenders. Sounds awesome; Rob concurs.

Invitation Assembly

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:09:46 -0400

Today we're starting work on assembling our invitations. Now since we're not terribly creative people when it comes to the arts and crafts and paper and ink, we ordered some very nice invitations off of the INTERNET.

We plan to mail them out by the end of this week, which puts us a shade under the 6 weeks prior that is apparently acceptable for sending these things out.

You gotta pay to play

50% on our remaining balance for the caterers goes out the door today.

Goodbye, pennies. Thank you for visiting.

It was a loss, but

Insane Rainfall/Flooding

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:05:18 -0400

Check out these 1 hour totals for 7PM today! My eyes may deceive me, but that looks like 4 INCHES of rain in Troy! There was lots of bad flooding downtown with storm drains overflowing and dirt and crap washing over the road.

So, here it is.

I went for the 'cut off the end of a pipe' look. I think it'll work for me. Erin should probably have hers soon as well.

Fake $20's

I buy lunch at Francesca's a couple times a week, and almost always get my coffee there.

Wedding Bands: Ordered

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:37:12 -0400

Erin and I have both placed orders for our wedding bands.

Erin is getting a nice stainless steel ring with some diamonds in it. She thought about it long and hard, and made a couple trips to Sabrina's jewelry store to scope things out.

I'm going for a tungsten ring that's super plain. No designs or anything. I thought about it for a couple minutes. I went to the jewelry store around the block on my lunch break.

And that's that!
