About eight and and half years ago

A great friend of Dad’s did Diamond & I the honor of presiding over our Aussie wedding ceremony

It was our second wedding as we’d done it a few days earlier in Chicago

Round two

We were old pros at this stage

But it was his first time

See Greg, Dad’s friend, had gone & gotten himself ordained online

JUST so he could be the officiant at our wedding

To make sure it worked, Dad & I went and got ourselves ordained too

(Keep us in mind if you want a  wedding, funeral or christening to be fucked up fun & different!)

Anyhoo

It was Greg’s first time

And our first time meeting him

For those of you that don’t know Greg

He is Greg Evans, of the hugely popular Australian TV show Perfect Match from the 80′s & 90′s

Diamond & I had no idea he was performing our ceremony

Dad had wanted it to be a suprise

And Diamond & I had no clue what was up until the theme music from Perfect Match started playing

And we met Greg for the first time

The best way to describe it?

Fucking funny

But not just that

It was really special

Can you have a romantic moment, that’s also hilarious?

I think we did

Greg did such an awesome job on our big day

That now days, along with his radio gig on 3MP in Melbourne

He’s also highly sought after to preside over people’s wedding ceremonies

How cool is that?

And even cooler?

We got to catch up with Greg tonight at the show in Mooroopna

He’s a very special man

That now gets to be a big part of so many people’s special day

Perfect match indeed.

 

the thought was there…

You know how I posted before about how Dad & I were going to

Do something a bit different at our Colac show?

Yeah, well that didn’t happen

See, there was a mix up with advertising for tonights show

We were initially booked to play at a different venue here in Colac

Then that venue got closed for renovations

So the show got re-booked at a different venue

Ticketmaster, being as ‘on the ball’ as they are NOT

Didn’t change the venue listing on the website

They just showed the Colac show as cancelled

Yup, CANCELLED

Pretty hard to sell tickets for a show people think isn’t going ahead

Anyhoo, a few people

And I mean a FEW, were able to buy tickets anyway from the venue

Once we found out that almost no tickets were sold for the show

They told us to cancel it

Dad said, fuck it, we could make this fun

We came down to the venue this afternoon

With plans to set up for a little mini-concert

In the ’round

Backstage

With beer

Turns out the complex where the gig is also houses cinemas

So their management wasn’t keen on us playing in an area that wasn’t ‘zoned’ for a show

And then…

Then people started buying tickets

Too many for us to go ahead with our planned KEV & JENNY UNPLUGGED gig

So yeah, that kinda sucks

But for those that were at the ‘regular’ show tonight

You guys were very cool

And we had fun anyway – as we always do

But I wanted you guys to know that the thought was there

That’s what counts, right?

The plus side?

POPCORN!!

I was going through some of my pics for last year

And pulled out some of my faves

There’s lots of my mates here

Friends I was lucky enough to catch up with out on the road in 2010

The live shots at the end are taken by my mate Tam at Takeyapick Photography

It was a busy year

A pretty fucking cool year too

Looking through all of them made me smile big
