Brad and Janie's Big Party


They got married in January with only Brad's father and minister as witnesses, but under heavy protest from their adoring fans, they converted their annual July 4th party in Reading, PA into a wedding party instead. Most of the crowd was photographers, and for once I was the nerdy engineer. Usually I'm around engineers and I'm the weird artist. The party was done with all recycleable/compostable materials, except for the plastic cups which were rewqashed and reused ad infinitum. Brad's childhood home in Reading is in a grassy treed green wonderland with fields, hills, and woods galore. It's also right across the street from a State Forest. So its officially beautiful. Janie loaned me her personal tent and we all camped out in a field. You know when you camp and you bed down for the night and you just get warm and comfy and as soon as you relax your bladder relaxes too but you hate to get up again so you just lie there and try to ignore it? Well that failed by about 3am so I got up and went outside the tent and lo and behold the moon was bright enough that I didn't need a flashlight at all. It was like day-for-night in the old westerns.
