I was only in Manhattan over the long weekend for the movies. The rest of the time, it was all Brooklyn and mostly celebrations.

First: Cristin turned thirty! And in the middle of turning thirty, she wrote a killer wedding toast! You can read about that toast, and the toast itself, here. You can also read about the great saga of tricking Maggie ( Read more... )

I took care of pretty much all of this weekend's movies ahead of time, because I reviewed Morning Glory (here), Unstoppable (here), and Tiny Furniture (here), which left only Skyline for Friday night. That was basically a huge mistake based on my willingness to see just about anything that has spaceships and/or aliens. Plus, I thought the trailer ( Read more... )

I already posted pictures from our honeymoon on a previous entry, and it doesn't bear much description: we went to Newport, we went in a helicopter (!!!), we climbed on some rocks, we ate seafood and ice cream. Oh, and despite the great outdoors we found time for a movie: we went to beautiful Middletown, Rhode Island, to catch Going the Distance, ( Read more... )

So, I got married. I wasn't planning on writing much about that here but then Marisa mentioned writing herself so she could have that recorded somewhere, and that really is a lot of the reason I keep this LJ, so I can go back and look up what I was doing at different times, so I feel like there should be something where my wedding happened ( Read more... )

We are in pretty much non-stop wedding mode for the next month-plus, even though one wedding is already finished up and most of the heavy planning for ours is through. This weekend, for example, Marisa and I took off Friday for some time to head downtown and get our marriage license ready for signature/sealing/delivery next month. This meant a ( Read more... )

2010 wedding one of four: Bayard and Alex! They got married! It worked! This was also the first of three Wesleyan '03 weddings, so we got to see most of the Wesleyan '03 crew: Jen, Nick, Becky, Spencer (and honorary member Shane), Ethan (and honorary member Andrew), and honorary members Michelle and Dael. There was toasting and singing and dancing ( Read more... )

This weekend there were no movies or concerts or picnics: there was Rob and Sabrina getting the f married. I'm not legitimately friends with anyone who I've know for longer than Rob (first grade?) so this was pretty exciting. Plus, I was best man. Plus: Rob, Sabrina, Jason, Jeff, Amy, Chris, Derrick, Tim, Nicole, Mike, Erin... kind of ( Read more... )

Tired, throat hurts, out of words, need to shower. For now, pictures!

On our way upstate, Marisa and I went to see Beck at the United Palace Theater up at 175th St. I read tons of complaints about the Wednesday and Thursday shows on the (granted, notoriously cranky, bitchy, and otherwise obnoxious) Brooklyn Vegan comment sections. Granted, Beck in the late nineties used to put on all-the-stops, showmanship-heavy ( Read more... )
