Yesterday, Ethel and I, attended the wedding of her good friend and former co-worker, Noel, as she married her partner of 22 years, Barbara. The ceremony and reception was held at the secluded [1] Wildwood Acres Resort in Lafayette. To get there you have to drive down a one lane private road for quite a distance until you hit a dead end and then you’ll find yourself at the resort. This place is so deep into the Lafayette hills it feels like your hours away from home. Luckily, we made it there just as they were starting the procession.

The cermony was was held in the upper deck garden area of the resort and easily looked like 150 to 175 people were there.

Afterwards, the reception was held just down the hill from the cermony. The alcohol was flowing pretty good for a Sunday afternoon wedding…and Ethel and I did our part to sample some of the stock behind the bar.

(L to R) Diana, Ethel and Christy.

Congratulations Barb and Noel…Thanks for a great party.

Artie is coming to San Francisco!!!

So I’m guessing I’m the only one out here who knows who Artie Lange is so allow me to introduce you to him. Some people were introduced to him when he was on MADTV…but I never watched that show because I felt it was just another late night rip off of Saturday Night Live. I first heard about Artie when he was the temporary replacement for Jackie(who quit) on the most syndicated morning radio show, The Howard Stern Show. Known for his quick wit and outrageous but true personal stories, he soon became a regular cast member on the show.
Since moving to Sirius Satellite Radio, The Howard Stern Show, has become censorship free and has given Artie the freedom to speak his mind in whatever manner he chooses. If you’re a true Howard Stern fan or a New Yorker at heart, go see him. This is a rare San Francisco appearance for Artie. I have my tickets already!

Artie will be performing at the Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco on September 19, 2008 at 8pm. For Tickets click [2] here.
