Ackerson and Prenzlow announce new joint venture

Surprise Rock 'n' Roll nuptials! 
 
 Ed Ackerson (Susstones poobah, Polara mainman, producer extraordinaire and Twin Cities music scene guiding light for almost 25 years) and Ashley Prenzlow (formerly of The Meg and Basement Apartment; currently rockin' with Susstones' sensations, The Mood Swings) were married on Friday in a private ceremony in Minneapolis. Technically, I guess, they "eloped" -- if driving a few minutes to the courthouse in downtown Minneapolis can be described as "eloping." :-) Even though they've been engaged since last Christmas, many of their close friends were nonetheless a bit taken aback by their entry into a state of "rock-a-mony." The wedding announcements consisted of a mass text mail message sent out early Friday evening:
Ed and I officially tied the knot today!!!
and an e-mail with the following subject line:
We got married!
Not the kind of thing you normally expect to see in your inbox or cell phone! An "informal" reception was held later Friday night at JPs in the Lyn-Lake neighborhood of South Minneapolis, and later spilled around the corner to the Bryant Lake Bowl, the unofficial "clubhouse" for the Susstones gang. The entire Golden Smog entourage + members of Soul Asylum -- fresh from a gig across the river in St. Paul -- and many friends joined in celebrating the blessed event with the esctatic couple -- Ashley was a vision of loveliness, glowing and radiant, while Ed was smiling so much that some feared he may need reconstructive facial surgery to get things back to normal. We at 60>0 wish Ed and Ashley all the best. Love & kisses, long may you run and rock on!
