What a WINDY day on Saturday. Jessica and Andrew had their wedding ceremony by a lake, and boy was it windy. At least there was no rain, and the ceremony was beautiful. This was our first time playing music outside for a wedding, but everything went fine. We were a little worried about the wind taking the DJ equipment for a ride, but it never did.
We had a lot of fun at the reception, and some more Kudos for the Brides family that prepared the dinner - EXCELLENT!
Now, this is a well known fact that I can't take Dr Fever anywhere without him running into someone he knows, and Saturday night, he kept saying he has seen the Groom somewhere, but could not remember. It turns out the Groom works on the truck route that Dr Fever runs. Small world.
Thanks again Andrew and Jessica!

Yes, that is correct. Dr Fever had a job to do in Middletown, Ohio over the weekend. We ALL traveled there, what a long trip, but we had fun. Mrs. Fever best friend had gotten married to a great guy February 16, and they had a reception later.
Jenny requested Dr Fever, and that is what she got too!! The reception was a lot of fun, the kids all had a great time too. Dr Fever in training thought he was pretty cool, because he got to help DJ for awhile. Of course the songs he wanted to play were not on the request list, so he was a little bummed out. He will just have to hear "Pop Goes The Weasel" or the Dukes of Hazard Theme song some other time.
Now, if anyone else out of state wants Dr Fever to play at their reception- he is requesting a round trip plane ticket be purchased for him to be there. Think all the family time in the truck was too much!! Oh, and for all the people gathered around the tiny 4" screen tv to see Ohio play in the NCAA tourney - GO OHIO STATE!
Congratulations Eric and Jenny!
The following is my credit card commercial for this trip....
New fuel pump for my car $300
New cover for truck to travel to Ohio $350
The chance to play music for my best friends reception....PRICELESS!

What a great time at Mark & De's wedding reception. They had a great crowd, lots of nice people. The couple's children were the wedding party, and I made Marcus dance with a GIRL! He said he would hate me forever, but I am sure he will get over it. I found out later his dance partner PAID him to dance with him, but he was still mad at me. He made some money out of the deal. There was table not far from us who were playing name that tune with some of the songs we were playing - a lot of 80's hits. I think there was money exchanging hands, but I do believe the woman won, as it should be!
All of the young adults danced almost the entire night, they were really good. The most requested song of the night was something that rhymes with Pony Pony, and was not supposed to be played. Well, Mark & De's friends all "passed the hat" so to speak, and a grand total of $86 dollars was raised - and approval given by the lovely bride for us to play the song. Mark & De at least had some spending money for cocktails on their plane ride to a much warmer place than Iowa!!
They had koozies for everyone too, and thanks for giving us a couple. And, as I was told many times last night, it was De-Day! Congratulations to the wonderful couple and their children.

We had a great time at Mitch & Misty's! And wow, what a great big shed! It was huge! Mitch & Jason sang a few tunes for us and we got quite a few pictures. Everyone looked like they had a great time. Mitch & Misty were wonderful hosts!!

There will be a Shed Raising Party in the big town of Cambridge!! We look forward to playing in Mitch & Misty's new shed, and seeing if Dr Fever's speakers can shake the walls.
I bet we get a lot of great pictures, and they will be posted by Sunday night.

What a great time, with a bunch of pirates! Ball Corporation threw a great party in Ames, and the costumes of some of the people were awesome. We got to meet a bunch of new people and had a good time. Pictures will be posted on Monday.

We played for the Heart Of Iowa Communications Coop on Saturday in Marshalltown. A very nice crowd too. A lot of people turned out even though it was very nasty weather. A big thanks to Mindy and her fellow employees that planned the party. They did a nice job!!
And this was our first time playing in Marshalltown - Memories is a wonderful place, and I hope we have the chance to play there again.
Thanks for the hats too - Dr Fever is wearing one of them today.
