I Love My Wife

Nine years ago today, I married my best friend.



A few fun facts about our wedding:

Our invitations included custom-made Fluxx cards.



As part of our ceremony, The Richter Scales sang "Pencil Boy," "Storybook Love," and "Up the Ladder."



We had pyrotechnics on stage.



There was a mini-puzzle hunt.



Instead of dancing, we had a game show called "Win Curtis and DeeAnn's Wedding Presents!"



All our friends and family made it a wonderful day.



Happy Anniversary, DeeAnn. I love you.

In which we talk to Bob Schaffer about BANG, DASH, WHO, and also things that aren't acronyms. (NOTE: We pre-recorded this interview, so he's not actually getting married "a month from today." Tough luck, wedding crashers!)
