On May 30, 2026, we got the privilege of seeing Bryan Harris, one of our biggest fans, get married. Not only did we get to bear witness, Allen got ordained to be the officiant at Bryan’s request. Among those in attendance was another of our biggest fans, David Cathey. What better way to celebrate the occasion than to have both of them join us after the ceremony to shoot the shit and bust each other’s chops. We congratulate Bryan and Jennifer and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.
