Ed Miller's Wedding Reception Photos [Archive]

Dynasty

I was at Ed Miller's and Elaine Vigneault's wedding reception at the Stratosphere earlier today. Here are some photos I took.

Ed caught in a moment of thought after realizing he is now married.

2+2er coltrane, a friend of Ed's, provides the musical entertainment- lots of mushy love songs.

Mat Sklansky and girlfirend

The girlfriend eating Ed & Elaine's vegetarian menu.

Mat Sklansky and Mason Malmuth. Mason is taking those plants back to the 2+2 offices.

Charmaine Malmuth. Fo a top notch tennis player who has presumably been photgraphed many times, she was suprisingly camera shy.

Alan Schoonmaker looking his best.

Ed and me. I think Ed tilts his head in half the pictures he's in.

Looking my best, I snag two older ladies.

I havent been on the forum for a long time, but I must say that I would have never imagined Mat to look like that. Thanks for the pictures.

Somehow, "poker writer" didn't strike me as the sort of chick magnet career that it has turned into for Ed and Mason.

Well done, both of you - /images/graemlins/grin.gif Matt has done well for himself too, though I can't say I approve of this vegatarian thing you all got going on...but who gives a rat's ass about my approval, really? - LOL

This is awesome for so many reasons.

Ed Miller rocks me. A veritable model of manhood.

Mason married up in the world! Not surprising; I'm sure his skillz are the maddest.

And Mat: I'm starting a Slayer cover band. When I close my eyes, I see you front and center. Please say you will. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

TYVM, Dynasty. God bless all you crazy kids.

With a little help from Stewey, the two best photos of Mat are now available sans Clarkmeister.

This one is my favorite.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c214/edelainereception/dynasty4.jpg

Mat was drinking red wine early in the day with fruit from the veggie buffet. Later, he was going with the white wine. Even later, he went to champagne.

1) We already knew Ed cleans up nicely, but I would NEVER guess this is you Dynasty! You look fantastic, you should get dressed up more often.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/alternateaccount/11-12-2005-14.jpg

2) Mason and the ubiquitous 2+2 shirt. Always the marketing wiz...
Picture removed at the request of Elaine Vigneault.

3) About time OOT meets Charmain Malmoth. I think a lot of 2+2'ers had no idea Mason was married, let alone to a stunning lady such as Charmain. She is even prettier in person.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/alternateaccount/11-12-2005-16.jpg

4) Ed should always have his head tilted to the side, it really suits him well.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/alternateaccount/EdandMe.jpg

5) I hunted through the photos for a stray short of Clark. Well done editing him out Dynasty.

6) Is it safe to assume that David was MIA?

7) Matt - I'm speechless!
http://www.thedudeblog.com/lawrence-officespace.jpg

8) Where are the sneakers???

9) Ed is one lucky dude.

Thanks for the pics. That was cool. It was nice to put some faces with names on here.

Y'know, I'd seen pics of Ed recently and thought they were of him in his earlier years. After seeing these, it looks like he's younger than when he left up here.(seriously) I guess living well with a gorgeous gal at your side helps defy age abit. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Congrats Ed! It's nice to see good things happen for good people.

Oh, and great tie Dyno. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

in my defense, I had quite a few more dark tunes on the setlist but I guess all I can say is that I chickened out....I'm used to playing this repertoire in dingy bars in New Orleans - all the ties and sunlight scared me /images/graemlins/wink.gif .....I skipped "Miss Misery", an Ani DiFranco tune, and a few others....you guys should've made some requests!.....

BUT, at the same time, I don't know that I'd classify Chet Baker-style jazz standards as "mushy love songs".....how about "cool" or "mellow" or "romantic" ?......

Thanks for the pics. It was great seeing you again. It's been too long.

And it was a GREAT party. Good to see Ed married to such a terrific lady.

You folks out there may want to keep a copy of Dynasty's pic. You may never see him wearing a tie again.

Regards,

Well, it seems to me that this is just overall poor judgment by Dynasty. He should probably be banned himself. I don't think someone capable of this kind of decision making should be a moderator. Especially of forums as important as OOT and WPT.

Since Ed Miller had already linked to wedding pictures and posted on more than one occassion that he was going to post more pictures, I didn't consider it an issue. I was very surprised by Elaine's request.

They were unflattering photos of me, for one.
It was a private event, not a 2+2 event.
I didn't mind when only 200 posters had viewed the thread. It started to bother me when the numbers grew to the thousands....

on another note... now that everyone knows my last name, we can trot out the muse about how Ed, himself, is now plus E.V.

Well, Bryan, first of all Edward selected the pictures he posted--therefore he and Mrs. NPA were comfortable with what was shown. Second of all, you posted pictures of many people who had no clue about the fact that they were about to be visible to the whole world--in some cases, those people do not even know of the existence of 2plus2. Third, if Edward and Elaine planned or are planning to post pictures of the reception, the pictures posted would have been of their choosing, not of yours, and they would have gotten permission from other people who were in the pictures (like, Mom and Dad, is it OK if we post your pix?).

Basically, Bryan, you were well over the line. I am personally not going to make a fuss since I don't think there is a soul in the world who gives a damn what I look like, but if any pinbrain OOTer makes a crude remark about me, I will take steps. (And there was at least one response early in this thread that I thought was so far over the line that it was in another galaxy.) Use some common sense, people, and have some respect.

This is a bit of an over-reaction. These were normal party pictures (quite tame actually) and hardly are unflatering to anyone. Does anyone think we will remember what you guys look like? (unless we are planning to meet you in Vegas sometime in the future)

As for thread views, that doesn't represent the number of people who've seen the thread. I've clicked this thread at least 15 times (whenever there is a new reply), its just us same people viewing multiple times. Whats in the first post is long forgotten for most.

Who are you, L.O.L.? Your combination of femaleness, the fact that you're not Elaine and your presumption of stern authority suggests that you're Mrs. Malmuth. Hi, Mrs. M, assuming it's you. If it is, I must say that it wounds me in the heart to know that you're so contemptuous of your husband's customers / devotees, who are a largely young and often rashly spoken bunch, but who genuinely wish good tidings to all present. As for the "comment so far out of line that it was in the next galaxy," I can only guess, but I suggest that perhaps you should be more gracious to those impressed with the wonderfully graceful way in which you have aged. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

You go to any function and pictures are taken and passed around. Big deal. OOT is not as huge as some seem to think. Anyone who has played at a B&M has exposed themselves more there.

It's not the photos, it's the fact that they were posted on a public website without permission. No one, as far as anyone can tell, "wigged out" when the pictures were taken. Further, if you can't understand the fuss, your self-assessment is wrong.

Guess what? It's a free country and this is a public venue, subject to the terms of service. Forty thousand people have been watching you post, and you have no way of knowing who they are--and in some cases it might surprise you to learn who is tuning in. This may feel like your own private little lockerroom, but it ain't. If anyone here acts like a jerk, he (or she) is acting like a jerk in front of a great many very assorted people.

Besides which, you and a whole bunch of other people have been looking at several someones' moms without their permission, and they weren't necessarily that comfortable with it either.

I can tell you absolutely for certain that a number of moms, dads, wives, and girlfriends read these fora--they just don't always make their presence known. Furthermore, anyone reading 2+2 can post a link to a thread here any place else on the internet--and literally the whole world can have access to what you say and in some cases (including yours), what you look like. In fact, that is one stated reason for having moderators--people who are interested in having a business relationship with 2+2 or journalists who are doing research on the poker boom or law enforcement looking for infractions (e.g., IRS and police in areas where poker rooms are not strictly legal) can all read this website. The moderators are supposed to keep the site free of the more ill-considered and inappropriate posts.

Have fun, but do remember that you are showing it to the whole world. My mother, who specialized in foolish advice, did tell me never to put in writing what I wouldn't want to see on the front page of the NYTimes. In that instance, she was not being foolish. Say what you want within the very liberal boundaries of the 2+2 policies, but remember that anyone and everyone is watching you. If you don't remember that, basically you lose at the internet.

I certainly have never said a word about all the long, repetitive, and ultimately tedious discussions of OOTers' toilet habits or about OOTers' exceedingly naive approaches to human sexuality, but in this case, my own personal picture was posted several times in a very public venue without my permission--and I have every right to say something about it. In fact, although I am not sure of the laws, I could probably do something about it--but I am not that distressed.

I agree with everything you said before this post, which was long and I didn't read. My bigger point was that because you used Dynasty's real name and so forth, that it seemed like you might be somebody who knew everybody involved, and that made it slightly weird, much like I would find it weird if my mother started posting in OOT.

The problem with the idea that posting something on the internet exposes it to the world is that 2+2 is just a tiny piece of the internet. So much stuff is posted on other forums, myspace, livejournal, webhosting services, etc. that what we really have information overload.

If there are 50 billion photos of us 300 million Americans, no one is going to notice these few. Trust the law of large numbers.

Duh. Dynasty's real name is posted on his profile, middle and last name included. Anyone can find out Bryan's real name--no special security clearance needed. And if I knew your mother, I would encourage her to join in the fun. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

F'heaven's sake. I sent Dynasty a PM and read his profile. Big whoop!

This is getting out of hand. There are such concepts as expectation of privacy and common courtesy, and you guys ought to think before you do, at least occasionally.

I first saw these Saturday evening after dinner, and I was, as I said before, gobsmacked that they were up there without permission. But I didn't say anything until today when I saw that Mrs. NPA had asked to have her pictures removed, and Bryan/Dynasty said that basically he was surprised that she would object. It clearly never occurred to him that some people like their privacy or, at the very least, would like to control what images of themselves are available where.

As for the needle in the hay stack--yes, there is some truth to that. But this isn't a matter of being afraid that the pix will come to the attention of some creepy pervert so much as the desire to control what aspects of one's private life become public. That is a right we have here in this country. It is up to Mrs. NPA to decide whether she wants her pictures posted and if so, which ones. It's not up to anyone else.
