In July 2004 Mike & Veronne headed west to
Oregon to visit family.
While they were out there they took the
opportunity to try a little whitewater rafting.
You really have to see this photo close up
to see the look of terror on Veronica's face...it's worth it!

You just never know what
might happen at an Oracle performance!
For instance, this shot was
taken at an Oracle performance at J&Js Afterdeck in Pasadena
Maryland last September. Now granted it might have had
something to do with the impending Hurricane Charlie that was
threatening the area, or perhaps it was something in the "water"
they serve there.
Afterdeck has been one of
the most popular stops on the Oracle tour since we started playing
at Afterdeck last year,
Of course, shots like this
sort of let you know just WHY it's such a popular place!!!
To see more photos from
Oracle's performances at Afterdeck, head on over to the
J&Js Afterdeck Photo Gallery.

The fall in Washington DC is also one of the most popular seasons to
get married.
Weddings come in all flavors, from very formal to very casual.
However, they all have two things in common. First off, there
is always a happy newlywed couple deeply in love. And second,
when Oracle plays, everyone has a good time.
All of the photos you see here were from fall weddings that Oracle
was privileged to attend. Pictured here are some of those
moments that stood out to us. From left to right, top to
bottom:
The very happy bride staring into her husband's eyes...the children
playing tambourine and maracas with the band, the outdoor party in
Edgewater where it poured rain all day, then the clouds parted just
in time for the party...the bride dancing with her flower girl...and
the belly dancer at an Middle Eastern / Polish / German wedding

Early October found the band with a weekend off as Mike and Veronica
traveled to Germany so Mike could attend a conference.
Veronica took the opportunity to visit her sister in Amsterdam, and
then returned to Berlin where she caught up with Mike after the
conference ended.
The photo here shows Mike & Veronne at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
We tried to find out all of the really wonderful places they visited,
but Veronica w couldn't pronounce (or remember) any of the names!

Also in October our very good friends with the group
Changing Focus invited Oracle to perform for their fall
fundraiser.
The Changing Focus folks have been staunch friends of Oracle for a
couple of years now, and we'd like to extend our appreciation to all
of them for their support of the band over the last couple of years,
and for allowing us to be a part of your fundraiser.

It's a day that we've
been looking forward to since we booked the date last year.
HALLOWEEN!!!
The Oracle faithful gathered at Perry's Restaurant in Odenton
Maryland dressed in their scariest, most original, and sexiest
costumes to enjoy a night of major partying.
This was the second year that Oracle has been invited to perform
for full house event. We thought that last year was really
something. However, if you can believe it, this year was even
BETTER.
Check it out for yourself!
