Rachel and Tony got married. Starting off in a nice little chapel in town for the ceremony everyone was gathered together to see the two tie the knot. After retiring to the court for photos some of us took a trip into town for a little drink before heading home and then to a nearby community centre. Lots of good friends were in attendance as well as bucketloads of food and drink. An excellent time was had by all.

Once again Keith managed to pull off a rather memorable party for all kinds of reasons. Either we're all just a bit more grown up, or the fancy clothes we were in lent a bit more gravitas to the night but there was no (truly) excessive drinking, nothing got broken and we managed to do fire breathing without anyone dying. Pretty much all of the usual crowd were there, I had some interesting conversations and drank some very interesting drinks. This was my first outing with the new Canon 350D and it shows.

Popped along to the Cambridge Corn Exchange for a Beth Orton gig. Initially not allowed to use "professional" camera equipment (without a press pass) the lead bouncer had a word with the tour manager who allowed myself and a friend to take shots. The warmup band were (probably) called Clayhill and were pretty good too. Beth, obviously, was very impressive and being at the front made the whole thing rather more intimate than for those nearer the back.

I headed on over to the Big Apple to see Kris. Cue a week and a bit of Central Park wandering, meals out, exploration of the city, walking a duck down 5th Ave, seeing Avenue Q performed on Broadway and a trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
