bkg: http://www.beanmom.com/pix/pinkskullybkg.jpg Img_5712.jpg First Day Waiting in the not-yet-warm room for everything to get set up, and things to start. Our "spring wedding" clothes were not up to the task. Img_5714.jpg Sweatshirts Sammy is wearing Alice's, and Alice is wearing Mommy's. Mommy is just cowboying up. Img_5719.jpg Our table You can see our half-eaten party food prop plates, and the food table behind us there. Img_5720.jpg Waiting Behind Sammy is the prop gift table. Cool, someone got them got a coffee maker!! Img_5724.jpg Balloons Playing with balloons on the dance floor was the main occupation. Behind Sammy is the head table, and the DJ's station. Img_5731.jpg Setting up a shot The bride and groom pose with the cake. Img_5734.jpg Realization Alice realizes she is freaking bored. Note the tiny coloring set half-hidden under my plate -- it was the only toy I felt I could smuggle in from our huge bag of tricks. Img_5737.jpg Much fame This is not the best shot of any of them (because I was trying not to get in anyone's face, or space), but this is Elijah Wood talking to GB lead singer Eugene, and Dia/Diana (who we had not yet met) is in the wardrobe closet behind them. Img_5748.jpg Disruptor Setting up another shot, where Eugene hassles the happy couple. Img_5757.jpg Having so damn much fun Sammy spent a lot of time practicing the trick where she rolls the balloon from one hand, along her arm and across her back and down the other arm to her other hand. Img_5771.jpg Action blur Alice's favorite balloon trick was her seal impression, usually accompanied with flapping and clapping arms, and seal barks. Img_5774.jpg Jump ball(oon) No other toy is as attractive as the one that your sister has. Img_5780.jpg Motion I really like the way the focus in this shot turned out! Img_5791.jpg Bangs, above your eyes your hair hangs Man, she needed a haircut. Img_5799.jpg Don't trip on the equip-ment The lights were obstacles to balloon play. Img_5808.jpg A little light music Some of the band (Pedro on the left, Yuri on the right) hang out and play between shots.
I don't know who that guy in the middle is, but everyone in the band did, so I guess he's cool. Img_5809.jpg Tooth hole If you look closely, you can see the new tooth coming in. Img_5810.jpg More new growth She seems to have sprouted extra legs, plus bunny ears. Img_5822.jpg More of the band L-R: Pedro, Oren, Yuri, Thomas, Eliot. They are waiting to do a shot wherein they variously molest this table of crappy wedding food. Img_5825.jpg Watching the show Olivia (from the crew), Pam, Sergey, and Eugene (from the band) watch the wedding food molestation shot. Img_5834.jpg Entertaining the troops Eugene noodles around. Img_5839.jpg Giga-pet Sammy plays with a video pet between takes. Img_5850.jpg Infatuation Helen (an extra), Alice and Diana enjoy a chat. Various band members and other in the background. Img_5856.jpg Gal pals Alice and Helen. Diana took this picture. Img_5861.jpg More pals Alice and Diana. Helen took this one. Img_5865.jpg Give it up for Table 2 This was our table. The two seats in the center are ours. Img_5866.jpg Again with the seal routine She's getting good with it -- lots of time to practice will do that! Img_5869.jpg Getting ready to flip Oren and Pedro (not visible here) get ready to flip the tablecloth on our table. Img_5870.jpg Drum and girls This drum is somewhat legendary among GB fans -- various band members crowd-surf on it during particularly raucous shows -- so I thought I should take a picture of it. Img_5874.jpg Blur Alice watches Sammy spontaneously dissolve into her component molecules, while Elizabeth (band member) remains blissfully unaware of it all. Img_5884.jpg My camera hates me Oh, how I wish this picture had turned out better than this. I'm still getting the hang of this new camera. Anyway, this is Helen, Diana and Alice again. Img_5894.jpg Another heartbreaker Again, dammit, I wish this picture was in focus. Grr. Img_5900.jpg Playing with the band Sammy bats a balloon with Yuri (band member) and one of the wedding-party extras. Img_5904.jpg Mugging for the camera Girls being silly. The table in the back demonstrates the after-flip effect. Img_5913.jpg Audience Alice shows off her l33t skillz. Img_5916.jpg Brush with greatness Sammy chases a balloon, oblivious to everything else around her. Img_5923.jpg Speaking of obliviousness Alice is not paying attention to much of anything. Img_5925.jpg More impromptu music Thomas and Yuri, between takes. Img_5932.jpg Oblivious AGAIN "Oh, you guys aren't trying to WORK here, are you??" Img_5934.jpg Eh, whatever She's mugging for the camera to keep herself awake. Img_5939.jpg Fashion statement On the second day, Eugene wore a priest's collar with a tiny GB logo on it. I thought that was supah-kewl. Img_5944.jpg A brief interlude Hey look, my camera case looks like a little creature! And he's eating a candle!! Img_5951.jpg More goofy Again with the silly "take a picture of meeee" faces! Img_5954.jpg The cake, afterwards Hopefully this will make sense to you after the video comes out. *mysterious nod* Img_5958.jpg Gypsy Punks Had to get a shot of the banner thingy! Img_5962.jpg The cake-smeared megaphone We got to eat dinner with it! *squee!!* (This is another thing that will make sense after you see the video, hopefully.) Img_5964.jpg Ready to go to bed This is almost midnight. We changed out of our wedding drag, and we're tired. Img_5969.jpg Tom Billings I don't know, he's an artist or something. This was on the sidewalk between the hotel and the church, and so I took a picture of it. ZDSC4874.jpg Bonus picture I One of the other extras took this and sent it to me. ZMG_0384.jpg Bonus picture II This is a good shot of the whole room, with us in the foreground. (Taken by the official set photographer) ZMG_1234.jpg Bonus picture III One of the dancers pushes a cart full of Ukrainian delicacies towards the heinous white-bread wedding food table. There's us to her left. (Taken by the official set photographer) ZMG_1280.jpg Bonus picture IV There's us to the left, discussing balloons. (Taken by the official set photographer) ZMG_1350.jpg Bonus picture V The only good "official" shot of any of us. (Taken by the official set photographer)
