weekend wedding and bday

I had a fine weekend this past weekend.  Friday evening, after my customary phone conversation with my parents, Angela and I walked up to Kabuki for Happy Hour eats.  We stuck pretty much to the usual order:  Spicy Tuna Salad, Tempura Mozzarella Roll, California Roll & the Gold Rush Roll (basically a fried California roll.)  Dinner was yummy.  After our meal we walked up to Red Box to pick up a movie (walk of shame - stupid but fun.) We then hoofed it back home, picked up around the house a bit and settled in for the night.
Halfway through our movie Angela was down for the count.  I stopped the movie, I've completely given up on watching a movie in a single sitting, and headed into my room to work.  I have been working to wrap up a Remix of the Turbo Sunshine song Hey Citizen, which I'm getting pretty near to done with and I'm super happy about.  I finished this and then did some messing around with another track that is a few years in the making called "Volunteer Victims".   Will this song be for Turbo or S no S?  I do not yet know.  It's been rejected by Turbo once, but now that it's evolving more it might still find a home in a project where it could see live action.
 
I worked until my eyes drooped and I ceased to be productive.  Then I retired to the living room, freed the bunny for her nightly run around the big room and started to watch World War Z on Netflix.
Saturday was a pretty busy day.  I got out of bed just before 8am so that I could take the bunny to the salon for her nail trimming.  For this task I actually return to my old neighborhood in Atwater Village.  I drove over and sat with her until the took her in to trim, then I drove back home.  Angela had breakfast and coffee ready for me upon my arrival home.  Bacon, Eggs and French Toast. 
after breakfast I headed down to our rehearsal spot downtown to grab the video camera and tripod so Angela could film her Dance Lesson, which was later cancelled because her instructor forgot.  
I caught up on a few more chores and some recording for the rest of the morning and then pivoted to getting myself ready for a big gay wedding celebration at the CBS lot in the valley.  It was a great time, here are some photos.  
The Party was on the "New York Street" set.
Here is the best cellphone snap of the grooms, who I won't name because google is sneaky good.

We got home from the wedding around midnight.  Angela had the good sense to go to bed.  I stayed up and instead watched The Electric Six concert film "Absolute Treasure".  This is the concert that Angela and I flew to Detroit to see the filming of.  It's an excellent document and I had a total ball seeing it for the first time.  Even if it did keep me up way too late, I enjoyed every second of it. 
Sunday morning came around too early.  I woke up and went right back to bed.  It was easier to wake up the second time.  I journeyed over to Winchell's to hunt some bagels for breakfast.  They were also yummy.  
Sunday was a catch up day of rest and cleaning and some more recording.  I walked up to Amoeba music around 5 pm to get my brother's b-day present.  Around 6pm Angela and I started walking toward Hollywood and Highland to meet our Crew at Vegas Seafood Buffet for Devin's B-day Dinner.  Once everyone arrived we proceeded to give Devin Presents and stuff our faces.  It was nice.
