BYOB-- bring your own BEADS!!

Happy belated Mardi Gras!!

Ya'll, we've been havin' so much fun over here at MiddleBar with Carnival, Superbowl, and the amazing launch of Corrie's now famous MiddleBar Marys .   With all the excitement, we've been remiss in our blogging duties.   I know some of you are anxious to hear what's been goin' on with the wedding planning.  So here's the update.

A) We have a Gaffer.  What's a gaffer, you might ask.  He's a professional lighting expert, and his name is Paul.  To the out-of-towners, it might seem strange that such a position exists.  But here in Hollywood, gaffers are a hot commodity.  And Paul is especially hot!  We met with him yesterday at Heavenly Pond where he began to build the lighting plan.  So, the good news is that it looks like we'll be able to see at this event!  And even better news, it'll look, and feel so great!  What we want to do is create an amazing space for the wedding.  Every single item is handpicked, handmade, and being brought in just for the extravaganza.  We've never done anything like this before, and neither have most of our vendors.  But so far, everyone is really excited to create this space with us, especially Paul the Gaffer.  God bless ya, Paul.

B) The Crawfish Boil (to be held on Saturday April 27th-- see Antonia Begonia's amazing flyer for details) is coming along quite well.   It's not yet crawfish season in Louisiana, but we're hoping for an abundant harvest, and a kick ass Boil!  Thank you, in advance, to our friend Ryan, and to Corrie's cousins Bryan and Christopher for cheffing the event.  It is gonna be so delicious!!!  For those who are crawfish adverse, have no fear.  Alternative menu items will be available.  Basically if you're not into crawdads, it's a BBQ.  And, it's BYOB (bring your own beads).  It is, after all, Jazz Fest weekend.  So let's deck the halls, and summon the Nawlins spirit with plenty of beaded magic.   If you don't have beads, some will be made available provided you show us your tits :)

C) What to wear....  Don't ask Renie, cuz so far she will be attending in the nude.  Corrie is having better luck, and will be spiffed up nice for the big day.  Here's what we're telling people: Think Gatsby Afternoon.  But with layers, cuz the temperature may drop at night.  So, no need for fancy.  Remember, it's not that kind of wedding.  We want ya comfortable (and maybe a tad stylish).  Khakis or nice jeans are great.  Probably want to avoid heels, just because it's outdoors, on dirt... seems treacherous.  To be honest, we just want ya there, and happy.  Call if questions.

Stay tuned for more All Wedding Things Considered.  The official Schedule of Events will be posted closer to the extravaganza.
Call or text if you have specific questions about lodging, locale, allergies, what have you.

WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!
