Geoff and Jen Are Too Late

We Have A Puppy

His name is Webster Lowenbrau Wolinetz. He is extremely cute. Probably cuter than you.

Welcome to the New GeoffandJen.com

2007-02-13T11:34:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the New (and Barely Improved) GeoffandJen.com! We'll be using the site to talk about our life. Geoff will be using it to rant a little bit. And that will be that. First things first, our wedding happened! We got married on September 2, 2006 at the Pearl River Hilton. It kicked ass in ways that most things just don't. Check out this video recap from our videographer:

New Hotel Option

2006-07-19T16:29:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone,

I've added another hotel option to the Hotel page. The Woodcliff Lake Hilton has set aside a block of rooms for us on Friday and Saturday night at the discounted rate of $115.

Also included on this page is a link for directions to the Woodcliff Lake Hilton, as well as directions from there to the Pearl River Hilton. It's about 6 miles/10 minutes.

If you'd like to make a reservation at the Woodcliff Lake Hilton, please check this page: http://www.geoffandjen.com/logistics/hotel/index.html.

Thanks!

New Stuff

2006-07-20T18:23:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone,

I've made some more updates. I added a page for Important Phone numbers. You can find it here.

Also, I've added a number for a taxi service, based in Pearl River, to the Shuttle page, which is now the Shuttle/Taxi page. You can find that page here.

Enjoy!

Correction

Small correction to the previous post:

The hotel is only sold out for Saturday night. There are still rooms available for Friday night.

A Couple of New Features

2006-07-10T16:30:00.000-04:00

Hello all,

Thanks to the advice of a very bright man named Rich, I've added a quick reference guide to the wedding date and location in the upper right hand corner of the homepage. The location is also hyperlinked to the directions page. Excellent suggestion.

Additionally, I've made some small adjustments to make the site more aesthetically pleasing. Most importantly, I've changed the font from Georgia to Verdana. It's a sleeker font and has no serifs, which allows things to slip off.

I don't know what that means.

The Hotel is Sold Out!

2006-07-10T17:19:00.000-04:00

There's been an overwhelming response to the rooms that we set aside at the Pearl River Hilton. They've told us that they can open up some more rooms for us, but not until August 10th.

In the interim, we're setting up an amenable rate with other area hotels to get a block of rooms secured there to accommodate the overflow from the Hilton. When we have this information, we'll pass it along.

A Flurry of Activity

2006-07-06T18:03:00.000-04:00

Hello all,

A few updates:

I've added a couple of other alternative means of transportation for getting to the Hilton for the wedding.

You can take a bus. Check it out here.

You can take a shuttle from an area airport or just from the area. Check it out here.

You can rent a car (perhaps at a discount). Check it out here.

Also, rooms are going quickly. To book your room, look at this and then call the hotel as soon as possible.

Enjoy!

Invitations Are Out!

2006-07-06T11:02:00.000-04:00

It's been sparse around here lately, but I just wanted to check in to let everyone know that invitations are in the mail and should hit your respective mailboxes within the next week.

There will be more updates to come in the next day or so regarding shuttle information from the airports to the hotel and other possible public transportation routes.

Enjoy!

Shower

2006-03-27T16:57:00.000-05:00

Hello,

A date has been picked for Jen's shower! It will be on July 30th and it will be in Los Angeles, CA. This is the only information that I have as of now, so that is all that has been posted on this page:

http://www.geoffandjen.com/schedule/index.html

As I know more, you'll all know more.

Excelsior!

Come See Me, Live!

2006-03-13T14:59:00.000-05:00

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post to remind you (or let you know) that I'll be reading an original piece tonight at the Back Room on Norfolk St. If you're around tonight or have nothing to do, come down and say hi. I've posted the information below:

Vendors and Other Stuff

2006-03-09T15:39:00.000-05:00

We hired some really amazing people to help us make our wedding the best affair it could possibly be. If you're planning a party of some kind in the NY Metro area and need any of these services, I've put up a list of them with their contact information:

http://www.geoffandjen.com/aboutus/vendors/index.html

The "Photos" section is up and running. If you'd like to see some photos from dinner on the night we got engaged, take a look.

Don't forget to sign our guestbook and let us know you've been by. You can do that by clicking on the button in the left rail of the page.

Also, if you'd like to keep up to date with Geoff and Jen.com via your RSS aggregator, I've linked to our site feed (provided by Blogger) in the left rail.

Enjoy!

More to Report

2006-03-07T14:29:00.000-05:00

A few more updates:

I broke out the "Who?" page to include information on the bridal parties

I added a section for our registries

The site is more or less set, save for a few things I'm working on (the "Throwing the Party" section, a "Photo" section and a couple of other things). The "When?" page will probably be reserved for information about the timing of the rehearsal dinner, pictures and the wedding itself. There might (emphasis mine) be very superficial information about the bachelor/bachelorette parties there as well (i.e. time, date, place), but I'm still working on that.

Again, if you have suggestions of any kind, please e-mail me: geoff@geoffandjen.com

Enjoy!

Activities Page ...

2006-03-06T13:13:00.000-05:00

is now updated with some fun stuff to do while you're in Rockland County for the weekend.

http://www.geoffandjen.com/logistics/activities/index.html

Enjoy!

Believe It or Not ...

2006-03-02T17:26:00.000-05:00

There's more to report:

Over the next few days, I'll be adding some information that people have been asking for: photos, registry information, and information about the wedding party/processional.

For those who are curious, we are registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Macy*s and Fortunoff.

Also, there are tons of links around the site. I'm struggling with the code to make them a little more prominent. However, if your mouse arrow turns into a hand when it's over some text, there's a link there. All of the airline information is linked, as is the directions information and the N.J. Transit information.

If you have anything else that you'd like to see, you can e-mail me at geoff@geoffandjen.com.

Enjoy!

Tengo Muchas Actualizaciones para Usted

2006-03-01T15:20:00.000-05:00

Hola, everyone. More updates to report:

-- I've updated the "Where?" page to tell a little bit about Pearl River and the hotel itself.
-- I've updated the "Via Ship" and "Via Rail" pages of the "How?" section to reflect those alternative means of travel.
-- I've updated the "Hotel" page of the "How?" section to reflect the rate that we have secured at the hotel for the weekend of the wedding.

Until next time ...

Loads of Updates

2006-02-28T15:50:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone,

I've made lots of updates to the site. Among them:

-- The "Who?" page is up and running with a quick update/bio about Jen and me.
-- I've added information on the area airports and the various airlines that service them.
-- I've loaded in directions from various locations to the hotel.

Updates to come will include possible methods of transportation to the hotel from the area airports, as well as information on the hotel itself and other hotels in the area at which we've secured a rate.

Excelsior!
