I found this gem from Mike & Sara Harts wedding in 2004 (I think it was).  No, this isn't me, but Brian (not going to disclose last name).   I did dare him to say it because I was too chicken.  Notice the audience reaction.  It's a combination of disgust and laughter. 

I had my first experience with "cattle handling" this weekend.  On Saturday was the 2nd annual "Healthy Kids Day" at the Northfield Middle School.  The event was great for both kids and adults with plenty of entertainment, activities and free stuff for all.  The cow, "Patty Cash" of the Northfield Downtown Development Corporation (NDDC) drew many high-fives, hand shakes, hugs and photos as we strolled around and handed out "Patty Cash's Top 10 Things To Do With Your Kids Downtown Northfield" fliers.

I promise, this is not meant to be sac-religious at all.  I came up with the cleaver idea last DJJD and thought I would mass produce a tee-shirt for the 2008 event.  The problem is that I don't know which version to print.  Please comment below and let me know which you like best or provide your own idea.  The font, cowboy graphic and copy is not final.  Please respect my creative ownership.  Thanks to Adam Gurno for a few of the tag lines.

....leave the Youngers at home next time

...probably shoot you in the head

...take up fishing next time

...probably skip Northfield next time

I found this one in a pile of old VHS tapes last night.  I was pretty pumped to  see me in a jump suit, mullet, shop glasses and some brown "boat shoes".  I could help but to appreciate the graphical capabilities we had to work with back then.  I can't remember what class I shot this for but I do recall Mrs Hard letting me work overtime on various projects in the media centers production room.  It probably helped train me to be the video-heavy blogger that I am today. 

I apologize in advance.  This is really boring.

Let's face it.  Whether the marriage makes it or not, those black and white photos of the guys last forever.  Below you'll find two of my all-time favorite "guys at a wedding" photos.  The frames and signed one is my first wedding in 2000.  I had it framed and got the "posse" to sign their names around the boarder.  The second is my brothers wedding which was held at Gooseberry Falls up on the north shore.
