uestion. Where would you go if
iu wanted to see a gorilla, watch
1 people get married, eat craw-
tails and listen to fiddle music
itilone o’clock in the morning?
nswer: (I’m sure most of you
already guessed it) The As-
ome, where else,
i'es, I can now proudly say that I
yebeen to the largest wedding in
I history of the United States,
|982. (Maybe the world, anyone
le their wedding hook handy?)
Jwasat the Eighth Wonder of the
iprld this past weekend and hap-
led to get invited to the Doug
iershaw - Pam Eson hash. Of
irse everyone was invited (box
ieats$4.50, reserved seats $3.50) to
ht wedding but not to the recep-
iON
■ went to the reception and I have
[admit that I douht if I will he
going to many parties like that one
in the near future.
The bash was held in the As
trodome Club. When I walked in I
noticed that the ABC Wide World
of Entertainment camera was look
ing me right in the eyes. This was
somewhat new to me because Wide
World doesn’t get around to many
College Station parties.
There was food and drink (mostly
drink) for everyone. The party got
to going real good but was going to
have to be cut (■
short because
Kershaw was to
put on a concert
after the baseball 1
game. (Yes, there
was a side attrac
tion out on the
Astrodome play

Houston Astros and the Cincinnati
Reds probiding the action.)
The Reds were making short
order of the Astros in record time so
someone must have got word to the
home guys to keep it going so we
could keep our party going. The As
tros did tie the game after being
behind 0-4 and went on to make it
the longest game of the year both
time-wise and innings-wise. The
game went 14 innings, which ena
bled our party to go an extra hour or
so.
By the time the game was over all
of the crawfish tails were gone and
the bar had closed so I was as ready
as anyone for the concert to start.
A surprisingly large amount of
people stayed around for the show,
around 15,000, and that ain’t bad
being that it didn’t get started until
after 11 p.m.
I guess by now you are wondering
where the gorilla comes in. Well he
wasn’t at the Dome the night of the
wedding, he was there the night be
fore entertaining the folks that were
sitting in the Lone Star Beer Long
Neck section. (You can t expect
them to have everything on the
same night).
Now don’t get scared and not go
to the Dome because you are afraid
of gorillas because he wasn’t really a
gorilla but a man dressed up as one.
Someone cracked, “Maybe if they
would get a couple of real one’s after
the Astros they wouldn’t have to
have weddings to draw people.”
Well maybe so but I think the
idea was a super one because it
added a bright spot for the Houston
fans in a season that hasn’t had many
bright spots, if any.
