Scenes from an engagement party

I’m busy racing to finish my freelance client work before my Tucows gig starts next week. Luckily, John Bristowe was at the same engagement party — it was his sister’s, after all — so he documented the event quite. I might scribble a little more about it later, but in the meantime, check out his summary of the bash.

John Bristowe and me, several beers into the evening.

I’d like to send a special thank-you to Jen Bascomb, who’s been boosting my ego ever since my DJ Days at Crazy Go Nuts University’s Clark Hall Pub. As big a fan as she was of my mad DJ skills, she damn near lost her mind when she found I’d taken up rock and roll accordion…

From now on, if people ask me why I play the accordion, I’ll just show this picture.
