Ohio -- heart of it all. And other stuff.

Not everyone would choose Ohio as their vacation destination, but it actually has a lot to recommend it -- especially if you're me. Let's see…there's beautiful weddings, wonderful friends, amazing backyard pools, awesome organic food and plenty of people to rock out with. I should have been blogging this trip all along, but I've been too busy enjoying myself with music, pool-time, reading and just shooting the shit with Dan, Tracy and friends.

The trip started off with a really incredible wedding -- I wrote earlier about Brian and Beth -- in Akron, Ohio. It was really the most wonderful and memorable wedding I've attended. Those two and their families came together like so much chocolate and peanut butter.

The vows in particular moved us all. I actually got all weepy and stuff when Beth said hers to Brian.

Of course the dancing, eating and partying were fantastic. Brian and Beth have surrounded themselves with some really high quality friends -- and the groomsmen and bridesmaids had a blast together on the dance floor, at the meals and all the interstitial hanging-out. Really good times, and I hope we'll get together again in a group or smaller groups.

So tonight Dan and I are playing our first live gig as Indelible Beancurd. We're going to record the show, so if it turns out well I'll post some songs. We're doing a mix of old and new material…as well as a cover of Cum on Feel the Noise. More to come soon…
