Hi Colin, thanks for doing this AMA. My husband and I are big fans and make it to every show that you guys do in the SF Bay Area. You did a show at the Fox Theatre in oakland, CA on 2/14/2011 that definitely stands out as our favorite. That was the night that my husband proposed to me and you invited the two of us up on the stage for a wedding ceremony performed by John. I just wanted to thank you and the band for making our proposal so memorable, and also for pretty much guaranteeing that our proposal story is better than everyone else's. I do regret that we didn't hang around after the show to meet you guys, but we had the pressing issue of our car being locked in the parking garage to deal with.

We'll see you guys at your show in Berkeley in May. Oh, I guess I was supposed to ask questions? Can you squeeze Yankee Bayonet into the setlist for Berkeley? And can we buy you guys a round of drinks or something after the show? We feel like we owe you one.

Up on the stage!

Yay!

Married!

Yes, we got married by another ordained internet minister in September 2011, but we consider our Decemberists wedding to be real enough for us! Thanks again!

I knew it was coming eventually as we had ordered a custom designed ring, but I didn't know it was going to be that night and I definitely didn't know we'd end up on the stage!
