Here's a tip: If you're renting out a restaurant for a wedding party, rent the whole space.
Last night the patrons of Palihouse's lounge got the shaft (not to mention yours truly, who spent a good portion of the day pulling records) when the mother of the bride kept insisting we turn down the music for their courtyard wedding speeches.
Major bummer. For a large portion of the early evening there was no sound save for the monitors--the equivalent of rocking to an old school jambox.
Here's another tip: No bride and groom require 28 @#($* speeches!!
We endured the best we could, but it was frustrating. By the time the reception cleared out things got back to normal and Gustavo ably rocked a late-night crowd.
We expect much better luck next Friday for our Halloween pre-party. Walter has authorized $5 Stellas at the bar for the occasion, so come out and rock with us! We'll be spinning special scary/groovy Halloween-themed jams all night long!
