Updated (04/10/08): More pics uploaded to my Photo Gallery!  Click here!

I got back so late last night from the concert that I had no time to post… to sum up the whole night I’d hafta go with: “Kickin’ Rad!”. :D

The whole concert was amazing! Jess got Stella Soleil’s autograph, as well as a pic with her:

Stella Soleil and Jessica!

How awesome is that?!

Now, first up for the night is a band called Leo out of Cleveland… I actually was at the bar grabbing a drink when a band member was next to me cheering on the Indians (they went on to beat the Yankees 12-3… ouch!). I was able to snap some good pics of them in action:

Nice, huh? They were very awesome… I’d suggest you check them out! Next up were the Dirty Little Rabbits, a side-project of Shawn Crahan of a little band called Slipknot (you may have heard of them… ;) ). They. Were. Awesome! Check some stills:

Dirty Little Rabbits - On the Guitar!

Dirty Little Rabbits - Hittin' the Skins!

Dirty Little Rabbits - Singin' Her Lungs Out!

It was simply amazing… I hope this band goes as far as it seems they will! :D

Finally after much anticipation the Sick Puppies took the stage… with a special surprise! Tonight we will be videotaped for a DVD of their show! :) Wow!!

That’s right, and based on the show, I think Jess and I will be on there a lot (we’re gonna buy a copy the second it comes out!!). :D Okay, back to the band… amazing. I know I keep saying it, but they were amazing too! They put on a very lively and professional show and I tell you, by the end I could barely hear/move/stand… that’s how awesome it was. :) Now, half-way through the show they had some fans take the stage, and what is this?!

She said yes!

A marriage proposal?! Cool! For those wondering, she said “Yes”. ;) They finished up the show with a few of their hits, such as All the Same, made popular from the Free Hugs Campaign. Here are a few pics from the show:

Afterwards they gave out autographs, etc. Jess and I finally got out of there and home by 12:00 am. Crazy night… but awesome nevertheless! Next concert we’ll be going to is MC Chris…… sweet!



+ Got our rings!! By Jason 18 September 2007 at 7:33 am 66 views No Comments

We just got back from Whitehall Jewelers last night with our wedding rings (did I mention I was getting married?) and they look great! Check them out (click for a bit larger):

Nice, huh? All custom… both of them! Really, I think Whitehall is one of the best jewelers around, if you have one near you, go check them out!



+ Wedding plans By Jason 05 September 2007 at 7:04 am 143 views 1 Comment

So, it turns out weddings are pretty hard to plan when you give yourself a <$5000 budget and only 3.5 months deadline. Who’d have guessed? Jess and I finally set a date (Dec. 24th) and we’ve been spending almost every waking moment working towards getting everything ready. So far we’ve gotten:

Our Photographer: Dulce Productions (a great wedding photographer from Omaha)
Our rings: Whitehall Jewellers (both custom designed)
Her bouquet: David M. Mangelsen’s (another local Omaha company)
Her dress: Surburban Bridals (the perfect dress after days of searching)
Our location: A nice private Bed & Breakfast (a wonderful place and owner)
Our officiant: District Court Judge Joseph Troia (such a nice guy over the phone!)

Not bad, huh? There’s still plenty to do, but that is a lot of the major stuff out of the way! :) I tell you, I don’t know how people plan weddings bigger than this without any help… it’s pretty insane as it is!



+ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! By Jason 17 March 2007 at 6:57 pm 47 views No Comments

Jess and I decided since it was St. Patrick’s Day we’d go out and get the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage. Let me tell you, Wheatfields makes the best Corned Beef I think I’ve ever had. Ever. I can see that being the place I go for St. Patrick’s Day from now on. Yum!



+ On the side By Jason 12 March 2007 at 7:05 am 119 views No Comments

I’ve been busy this last week helping out a friend of mine in the photography business. John needed some help with his company’s website and I hadn’t ever worked on a photo site before, so I was all for it. The site is still a work in progress, but I think it should be done quite soon (just need to get a few more things from his host and we should be good to go). Check it out:

Dulce Productions, Inc.

Not bad, huh? I figure while I’m at it I’ll give him a plug or two. Dulce Productions is an Omaha based company specializing in all types of photography from weddings to nature shots. Now, most of you know I’m an amature photographer myself and his stuff blows mine away (I’m gettin’ there, though!). So, if you’re in need of a good photographer and live in the Midwest (he’s not shy about travel) go ahead and shoot him a message. :)

Okay… enough of the shameless plugging. I need to get back to work!
