Going to the chapel

Last Saturday the World's Greatest Lovers played the first of a string of weddings we've booked for the summer. I love playing weddings! And this one was particularly good: the weather was perfect, the revelers appropriately soused. It took place in Spring Green at a place called Hilltop: A Gathering Place (as a former graduate student, I'm a sucker for colons in titles). Hilltop: A Gathering Place used to be, they tell me, a Girl Scouts camp, and it looks it: several rustic-looking structures dot a lovely Wisconsin valley, at the bottom of which is a lush field of corn. We played in an open-air pavilion, and people seemed to have a good time.

To my great satisfaction, I learned that the bride and groom found out about the World's Greatest Lovers from Isthmus' Madison Music Project, which has a database of local groups. On their pages, artists can indicate whether they do weddings; the Lovers proudly answer that question in the affirmative. Love is in the air!
