something was definitely going around this past week. just getting over shit by last night. awful.

hope it went well, frank!

Some guy dressed in a suit walked in during our 3rd set. He goes up to my Dad and asks if we can play Suzie Q. He said we don't know that but we know other CCR songs, and the guys said it had to be that one. So we picked a key and just kinda worked it out right there on the spot. Turns out his girlfriend was named Suzie and he proposed to her right in the middle of the song. I thought that was pretty cool.


Mr mcbrides as always was a most gracious host. It was one of our better shows to date and despite what spany may tell you their support of my mutliple musical adventures at Katie's does not go unappreciated.

I hear he was 'Wearing a suit"...!!! Dats Classy! and it seems the guy really planned it out well....

Almost as good as one of my guys proposing to his GF at Grinders on Clark over a pizza, right before he met us all out to go drinking....

I will be in the proposing business in a few months.

Talking with the GF about when and where. I went over the spectrum of "no's" and "don't even think about its", for locations and situations.

She says somewhere private and special, but there has to be somebody there to take pictures!

What is your problem bigfan? You just jumped all over me about "first to complain and first to attack" and here you are doing just that.

A guy proposed at a bar, and you crap all over it. dats classy!

_________________

The owner of the bar is making fun of it, in case you missed it....I think I can also then make fun of the fact, a guy walks up to you "In a suit" and asks you to play a song you dont know, telling me he made zero prep for this moment....like I said, Lucky girl.

Donspiracy, why dont you throw that scenario on the GF? Tell us the response....

"Honey, I would like to go to Mcbrides....I will then go to the house band and ask them to play a song they dont know, then I will propose to you while you sit on that nivest bar still in da joint....I will wear a suit though"

Let us know , how that goes.

MCBRIDES...Your Engagement Headquarters! (There, thats my contribution...and if I am Mcbrides, I use it)

Congrats Don! One of my friends brothers got married and popped the question while they were on a walk on a forest preserve trail. A photographer was hiding a bit up the trail from them and snapped a few pics. Seeing as you guys seem to bike or jog somewhat often, something like that might work for ya. Good luck and enjoy it all!

Did they cost $5,000?

I could not be happier than when Frank and Baby Mac join forces.

Lets me know I am doing something right.

The guy last night also dropped the ring on the floor and everybody in the place was searching for it.
The band played on.....

She says if that's how I really wanted to propose, that is ok with her.

I'm calling BS!!!

My sources tell me she was the one who dropped the ring.
