What a wild weekend
Jefferson City
Dr. Kyle Dohm’s wedding
It’s weird to have your best friend get married
I’ve known him since his mother taught us preschool
Now he’s an optometrist and a Navy Lieutenant
Tyler and Stan and I were the only guys in the wedding party without papers
Weird. I wish I remembered the last hour of Saturday night. The stories I hear aren’t exactly becoming.
I am becoming a big fan of bridesmaids, though. I wish more of my friends would get married.
Today G and I drove to Sharon. We picked up the equipment for the Mike McClure Band show in Solomon on Friday. Everyone is invited. Email aaron@aarontraffas.com or call 620.886.1538 for details and directions.
We got back to town and knocked out one of G’s aforementioned sad bastard songs. It’s going to be good.

Had a rockin’ good time at Buster’s Saturday
Last show before harvest break
If you were in the crowd, you are mean
We had a great crowd…in numbers
We didn’t have any hecklers
We didn’t have many clappers, though
The first time they clapped I told them to take some penicillin for it
I guess they did
After hours was fun
Buster’s Other Side
Met some new people
Randy Rogers was there
Or at least someone who could have pass as him
I kept trying to get him to play some tunes on my guitar
Had a bunch of drunk show-booking requests
I’m waiting by my phone
There have been a lot of wrap-ups lately. I finished Angels and Demons the other day. I wanted to finish it and re-listen to DiVinci Code before going to watch the movie, but I don’t think I can wait. We’ll probably go watch it tonight. 24 had it’s season finale last night. Rock. I watched the last two episodes of Boston Legal as well. Fantastic. I’ll probably finish Alias tomorrow. It’s a shame they’re putting it to rest. I saw a teaser for Justice with Victor Garber. I’ll try to watch it, but he won’t be the same if he’s not Jack Bristow about to kill someone by creatively attaching jumper cables to someone in a dark room.
Kyle’s wedding is this weekend. Back to the hills and trees of Missouri. I’ll be hiring a republican with a shotgun as a body guard. Maybe I’ll just take G.
I’m looking forward to harvest break. Two weeks of solitude in, what is rumored to be this year, fast wheat. G and I are going to do some Had a rockin’ good time at Buster’s Saturday

We hit it hard Tuesdee
G and I, Bohn, Annie, the crew…
Single malt samplers
Little Apple style
We ended up at Gumby’s
I was talked to by a gorgeous girl who seemed to know me
I recognized her the next day
Oh, what a jackass am I
Watched the West Wing finish Sunday
What’s next? Aaron Sorkin’s West Coast.
Tried to upgrade a server tonight
I failed like a Republican foreign policy
Check out Angels and Demons
Dan Brown is a genius

We had one hell of a time at Neighbars in Hays. Exposed to a bunch of people.
Jim’s wedding was good. I got to see a live polka band. I thought they were all dead.
We played Bobby T’s on May 2. The pre-party was good and the show was better.
It was the most packed that bar has been on a Tuesday in four years.
They told us we could have any Tuesdays we wanted.
Any musician reading this can see the humor in that.
A big thanks to Bobby T’s, though, for hosting a great party.
Trevor’s bachelor party Thursday night was an interesting time. It was good to see so many I hadn’t seen in so long.
Thanks to Pete for driving and getting out of the ticket after the casinos. Dusty, you missed a hell of a party after the casinos.
I woke up in Lawrence on Friday
Made it to KC by noon to get my truck
Back to M-town by 3:00pm in time for Dr. Deloyce McKee’s party
I left G’s sunglasses
Left for the Shades of Gray [sic] show
Big party, big party
The boys with the blue shirts and silver stars waited until 12:30am this year to shut down the big one
That’s a whole 3.5 hours longer than it lasted last year
They were cool about it
Let Greg off with a noise violation
Last night Josh and I went to Trevor’s wedding in Kansas City. It was a very nice wedding with the most fancy reception I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you’ll hear the details once he gets his website functional again.
I’ve been worthless today
Cleaning, eating, working on the websites
Listening to Angels and Demons
Dan Brown’s book before he put out Da Vinci Code
I made it through the first third today
It sounds just as good as the next one
Who cares about truth?
I only have three more weddings this season
Down south they have hurricanes
Here, we have wedding season
I think the new rule is that weddings should be between January and March
Stay away from harvest
All of you thinking about inviting me to your wedding
Consider yourself warned
