Wedding plans gone awry
Get this. The lead for the band we booked got colon cancer, and won't be recovered enough to perform at our wedding. The booking agent just told us to go to some website, and call some of the bands we liked to see if they were available... ISNT THAT HIS JOB? WE PAID HIM TO BOOK THE FUCKING BAND. He apparently didn't give any reccomendations, or anything.
Of course, this all comes to me from Kyla, who got it from her mom, since Kyla's dad is the one that has been dealing with the band. I'm actually kind of happy in a bad way... I wasn't super fond of the band that got booked, and Ron put down the deposit before we even knew that he was looking for bands. Now we get to stick our noses up with our thumbs and say NYAH NYAH NYAH and book the frigging DJ that we were good with in the first place. Not to mention that the DJ is less than half of the cost of the band that Ron booked, and Martha has been asking us to kick some of our friends off the guestlist to save money. (which irks me in and of itself. It's OUR goddamn wedding... uninvite YOUR friends, or your third cousin twice removed on your uncle's third wife's brother's dog's side.)
Point is, the douche-bag booking agent is ridiculously unprofessional, and I bet Ron & Martha are gonna have a helluva time trying to get their deposit back. But they damn well should. Either way, kids, looks like we'll be having the DJ. Yup.
That is all. Just some venting. You may now resume your normal programming.
Oh- one more thing:
I found myself watching C-SPAN tonite around 7-8pm. There were three Democratic Legislators all arguing the same point, and all agreeing with each other. All in one big congress meeting room, with NO ONE ELSE. Does that seem a little... well... odd to anyone else?
