Quick recap of the weekend. Laid low on Friday night to be fresh for Saturday morning’s Bat Mitzvah (family friend of Jen’s). We head out to Brooklyn for the service and reception, both of which were the most ethnically diverse I have ever seen at a bar/bat mitzvah. In attendance at the reception was John Turturro (of Quiz Show, 13 Conversations, O’Brother, etc. fame). I heard someone say to him, “Sam Giancanna, your sister is in the Sopranos.” He said, “No, my cousin is.” It was great. So, I decided to leave him alone and not hound him.
Anyhoo…..after the reception, Jen and I headed back to the city to meet up with Lo/Lori, Cary/Kris and see David Lee Roth (DLR). Now, aside from the fact that he’s way to old to be doing this anymore, and that his hair looked like crap, and he was way too lewd for a 50-year old man, his voice sounded awesome, and so did his band. Just check out this set list:
Hot for Teacher
Mean Street
Everybody Wants Some
Just Like Paradise

Dance The Night Away
Ice Cream Man

Jump
I mean….how can you argue with that. We had a blast. Wrapped up the weekend today with the work clam-bake, beach party thing that we have every year down at Jenks in Point Pleasant. Aside from the rain stopping and starting every five minutes it was pretty much a good time aside from the obnoxious bartenders.
Now its time to write this silly article for work. Later.
