Pirates and Weddings

I met a pirate on Friday. Seriously, I promise he was a pirate. KSL was broadcasting the Movie Show from Jordan Commons Megaplex at our premier screening of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." This guy wearing everything pirate (except for an eye patch) comes up to me and starts asking questions about chocolate fountains and Charlie and I don't know what else because all I can think about is "Hey, this guy is a pirate."

But he wasn't just any pirate--he was an oddly familiar pirate, and I don't know many. It wasn't until later in the day that I realized he was the one from Pirates of the Carribean that had the eye that kept popping out. So I'm not sure why he was at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe it had something to do with the golden ticket.

OK, we don't blog much about weddings...but weddings are sorta our focus during the summer, so if we're gunna blog...

All of a sudden we're doing a bunch of weddings at Eldridge Manor on 4th North in Bountiful. It openend after remodeling in January and has apparently become a pretty popular venue for weddings and receptions. Lastnight it was 102 degrees, and the dancing was outside. We should have played Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash or something, but despite the heat, the event went great. Congratulations Wendy and Jeff. If you could make it through dancing in a dress and tux in that heat, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make it throught anything.

Party @ The Blaser's

You know an event was off-the-hook when you hear people saying "It was like one of those parties you see in the movies: it was at a way nice house, there was a sweet pool, a bumpin' DJ, and tons of food." That's exactly what Bridget Blaser's 18th birthday party was.

It started out kind of slow, everyone was swimming up top. But when "Tootsee Roll" came on it picked up, because everyone decided to turn the party into a stomp. Before I knew it, I had the whole crowd in front of me and ready to dance. The crowd would only tolerate hip-hop, as you can tell from the playlist, and they were dancing the entire time. We would have rocked all night long, but around 11:30 we had neighbors calling and complaining so we had to turn the music off. Luckily we got out of there before the sprinklers turned on.

Special thanks to Brett and Mike for helping with the equipment, Erika for rockin' the crowd, Bridget for loading me up with tons of food, and Tueller's Ink for lending the delivery van. Happy birthday Bridget!!!
