So, the days go by and the wedding draws ever-closer. Two days before we were to go to Davis and prepare for the insanity, we found an apartment in Hayward. Laura's friend Clint, who had arrived a little early to get some socializing done before the Big Day, helped us to move in. And then, we were off to Davis...
...with a short stop in Berkeley. Amoeba Records, the greatest used-audio store in the Bay Area, was our target, as the DJ had told us that he had an extremely limited selection of "Jewish music". (Matter of fact, it seems to me that his Jewish music was limited to Havah Nagilah and Hatikvah, neither of which strike me as strictly appropriate for a Reform wedding. -Marc) So we headed for the ethnic music section and got a couple klezmer CDs (the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band! gotta love 'em), then went back to the car. On the way, disaster struck as Laura tripped on an uneven sidewalk block, putting a large hole in her right elbow. We scrounged some adhesive strips, patched her up, and went off to Davis.
