Title: La Luna

Entry: Has anybody been here recently - say, the past couple of months and can tell me about the atmosphere, vibe, etc.? I haven't been to La Luna in many, many years and I've been recruited into going at the end of the month. Just want to make sure my latin lady friends will have a good time and will not be exposed to some sort of bad night. Any info would be helpful!

I think they only did salsa etc. 2 nights a week. The rest was ordinary 80's/modern stuff. It was a clean place and they had black rum, so I was happy enough.

I'll be the only gringo, which is fine, because *this* guy with a table full of latinas is in good shape. Nobody except for you has responded to my La Luna inquiry, which makes me suspicious.

Title: Minor alteration to A Vincent Picture

Entry: Just had to make a minor alteration to the picture -

1109/Joshbusted1102.jpg

I don't recall the last time I drank so much but we hung close with the Brits - we were in fact the last Americans standing and there was no way in hell that I could allow anyone else to have that honor. I am proud to say that we got props on a few occasions during the night from our out of town guests for the Larson sticktoitiveness.

We had a great time and it was a pleasure to get to meet and hang out with e:rory's close friends. Each were great guys who I'd buy a beer (or three) for any day and their respective ladies were really nice gals. The fellas from the UK have friends in the Larson bros. I was pleased with how everything came off with the wedding and it was an honor to have the opportunity to serve as an usher for two wonderful friends.

I have a lot of friends who have wonderful spouses - genuinely fantastic people. However, there was something different about this event that I can't really put into words or express in the way that I'm really feeling about it. I think the best approximation I can come up with is that it is cliche and not always correct to suggest that fate intervenes in people's lives in this way. I've never been convinced of this anyway, at least until this weekend. If you think about the spectacular odds of having a lad from Essex meet a lass from Buffalo in Qatar and having it result in a perfect union of two people who couldn't be more right for each other, it's a bit amazing to consider. It really did bring me joy to actually see this happen in front of my eyes. Today I think about the day that Timika told us that she was moving to Qatar and I can't think of a more consequential decision that any of my friends have ever made.

jason writes at 08:42:34 11/03/09 - Comment #52578jasonOne thing that was different from a lot of weddings was that immediately after the ceremony he was BEAMING....and maybe even getting a little teary? I don't know too many guys who express it so vividly. I thought that was cool.

libertad writes at 09:00:34 11/02/09 - Comment #52569libertadVery nice. I also want to add that (e:vincent) has got a nice camera. I wanted to tell vincent on his own journal but I didn't log in to do it. It was very dark in there and my camera just sucks in darkness. Don't get me wrong mine takes beautiful pictures but just not with the flash.

Anyways, I truly conked out at the reception but still had a good time. I'm glad the photo booth was there too. All in all, the Webber wedding was pretty awesome. I really enjoyed doing the photography. I'm glad that you guys got to hang out until the end with the awesome brits. They fascinated me, real genuinely good people.

Title: Keeping Your Modesty

Entry: I haven't mentioned the iPhones to Dad yet. He's had a rough time after losing his job and there is something immodest about showing off a new toy to someone who is suffering. It just makes it worse when the suffering person is your father. I know that deep down Dad would never be bothered about it and insists that we occasionally reward ourselves for our hard work. I know that he loves toys and would think it's incredibly cool. However, I still can't bring myself to tell him.

I think that generally this is emblematic of the times we're living in.
