Some housekeeping, to keep me from performing housekeeping:
* When we last heard the waves of DAMradio, Marty and I promised an hour on the Chemical Brothers. We've both been slammed with work, drama, travel, and other things in life. We're still doing the show, and DAMradio should return to the podwaves next Monday.
* Blues Traveler guitar god Chan Kinchla is one of the best human beings drawing air on the planet today.
* I'm debating posting about one of the worst kept secrets since the ROKR phone, but the time's not right yet. The news has broken damned near everywhere else, but for some reason I don't want to post it here just yet.
Aw, screw it. I'm engaged.
To be married.
To someone who loves me in spite of the fact that I'm a complete fuck-up. Regardless of all of my faults (I've been incredibly candid about my 35 years of stupidity on the planet) she has yet to flinch.
She's everything I didn't even know I wanted.
The plan, as it stands now, is for us to tie the proverbial knot in May 2007. This will allow for our collective friends to catch their breath. It will also allow Amanda to have her sister as the Maid of Honor. She has a prior commitment to the United States Army, which should be done my the first weeks of 2007. It's okay. I can wait. Impatiently, though -- I'm a greedy bastard.
A greedy bastard in love.
For the record, I didn't spill to anybody. Congrats, you. =)

Congratulations. But to be truthful. I read it off of Mike G's blog.

She's a beautiful girl, and you know that I wish you both all the happiness in the world. May (my birthday month) will be here before you know it!
p.s. You are NOT a complete f*ck up. You are a wonderful man who deserves only the best, including love.

I agree. You are a complete fuck up.

Hey Dev,
Karen and I send our warmest best wishes to you and future Mrs Pike. Let me know if you need beer for the reception. Or ball gags.
what?

Devin - Big time congrats. I made the trip down the plank myself on August 6th. Korey Beard sang, Jen James and Rob Buford were there representing DHS.
Looking back at our engagement/wedding/honeymoon experience, there's only a couple of things I'd do different. But they're major things. Let me know if you want to save yourself the trouble of looking and sounding like Nancy Kerrigan after being clubbed across the ankles.
Congrats again!

As mad as I can be at someone like you, who tosses others emotions aside recklessly, and as much as I agree with The Jewish Princess, I can't really wish ill of you, Devin. I've refrained from commenting for the past few weeks, but it's not my sorta style to hold on to a grudge forever. It's too mentally exhausting. As much as I'd like to hate you, I can't.
I just hope you do this woman right, and actually pay the attention to her that she deserves.
Congratulations.
