Marriage in March. Mine.

Well, I figured this was an easy way to get in touch with the people who I kinda want to come along to this shindig... even if I know the majority won't because of that whole pesky money phenomenon.

But anyway. The story goes thusly: I am getting married on March 11th next year. It'll be in a place just out of Sydney, on the north coast, called Tea Gardens. (By "just out" I mean "two and a bit hours' drive".) That'll be the smallish event, and the actual wedding, but the larger, funner event will be the big gig we're planning in the following week, to combine the "Welcome back to Sydney, Married, Breeding Scum" and "Rothkoid Turns 30" sides of things. It'll be full of bands, some of which I've crapped on about at length here, and it'll be held at one of the good rock venues in Sydney.

So if I know you - and you know who you are - then PM me or post here, and we can organise stuff.

Oh, and everyone needs to give Loomis arm-punches or other such inducements to make the journey. He is meant to be the best man, after all.

Right. Now watch this sucker sink...

Obviously, that's Sydney, Australia. Not any other Sydney you might know of.

Dude! Congratulations, man. It is vastly unlikely that spooks and myself will be able to afford to come to the other side of the world to celebrate with you, sadly. But March th is a fair ways off yet... never say die...

Congratulations, sounds like this is going to be a wedding of ROCK.

How could Rothky's wedding do anything BUT rock?

Ah, if only I had money. Or the power of flight.

Congratulations, R!

There is indeed rock involved. I am assured of this.

I can understand all the faraway people not being able to make it due to financial reasons. But I should hope that there would be at least one commandeering of a frigate or smack or something, in order to contend with oily seas and make way down...

Something like that, anyway.

There's plans afoot for a northern hemisphere visit in 2007, though. So far.

But again. Yeah. Wedding. Booze! Fish. Nice. Come!

Proper invitations to come, also. As soon as I, y'know, get some addresses from you people.

I invited Pete Doherty on your behhalf, Rothky, but I'm afraid he's trying hard to keep _off_ the smack at the moment, so just replied "Frigate"...

The 30th birthday portion of this shindig looks like it's getting larger, too. Something like nine bands so far, meaning that there's going to be an honest-to-god Rothstock.

Excited, I am. A bunch of bands I've raved about in that Australian music thread will be playing...

Is it true it's to be a nude skydiving wedding? And if so, is it wise?

Alas, no. I have windy wedding wang worries.

But it'll be JUST as exciting. And without as much windy chafing.

Oh, and the concert part is probably going to be called Wedstock, too.

It approacheth, still. RSVPs were due Feb 14th, so if you've not formally responded, please do so.

Wedstock so far has about eight bands playing, with more to come, including visitors from interstate. It'll be huge.

Yay for you hon! I'm hugely gutted that I can't make this, but there are no pennies in my pot at the moment.

It does sound like it's going to be fun on an awsome scale. Please let there be pictures and such like for those of us who will be continentally challenged!

Well, it's two days away. I've just had the dentistry session from hell, and I'm somewhat peaked. So we'll see how it all goes. New suit, mod cufflinks and a tie that looks like it's covered in goth amoeba: check.

What I'm wondering, though, is if any barbeloids want to send something to be read out at the wedding? Greetings, if you will. Mordant, Lurid and Stoatie, I'm looking at you guys, as I don't seem to have email addresses at the moment!

Anyway - if anyone is interested in being read out by my undoubtedly slightly pissed best man (which should've been you, Loomis, you cur!) at a reception where the groom is sweating about having to play backing guitar for one of his longtime musical obsessions, then PLEASE whack something into an email and send it to:

luke@captainfez.com and monika@lackmann.net

posthaste. The wedding's at 4pm on Saturday, Sydney-time, so you'll know when to send out those vibes. I probably won't be able to check computer much after Friday night, so... ahoy hoy!

Failing that, positive magick workings will be welcomed wholeheartedly.

Anyway, after that reasonably embarrassing round of shilling, I hope all that can't be there (but want to be) are well. Hold tight for pix.

Damn... checked the thread too late to send you any words, but I was thinking of you yesterday (wasn't sure how your time and our time went, so it was a general all-day thing).

Hope all went okay, and hope you come back and check this thread when you're back from honeymooning or whatever it is people do these days. (Personally I think you should celebrate by coming to London to drink booze, but I know there's like loads of sea and stuff in the way).

I was my own wedding singer. That's dedication.
