When did he get married
When did Tom Constanten get married?
McKernan was close friends with American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin due to common musical influences and lifestyles, particularly a shared love of alcohol over other drugs; a poster from the early 1970s showed them together at 710 Ashbury. Joplin joined McKernan on stage at the Fillmore West on June 7, 1969, with the Grateful Dead to sing his signature "Turn On Your Love Light," reprising this duet on July 16, 1970, at the Euphoria Ballroom in San Rafael, California.  He developed a close friendship with fellow keyboardist Tom Constanten based on their mutual aversion to psychedelics and eventually served as best man at Constanten's first wedding. While his bandmates and friends were using cannabis, LSD, and other hallucinogenic drugs, McKernan preferred alcoholic beverages such as Thunderbird and Southern Comfort. Ironically, McKernan was arrested and fined after the cannabis bust on November 9, 1967, at 710 Ashbury Street, the Dead's communal home, even though he did not use the drug. The event was covered in the first issue of Rolling Stone, where the reporter noted McKernan had a substantial rifle collection and McKernan's picture appeared on a contemporary report in the San Francisco Chronicle. Because neither took illegal drugs, McKernan and Constanten were the only members of the band not arrested on the January 31, 1970, bust that inspired the lyrics of the band's song "Truckin'".  In the early years of the Grateful Dead, McKernan was easily recognisable by his biker image, making him a minor celebrity. In 1969, the band's record company, Warner Bros., ran a "Pigpen Look-Alike Contest". CANNOTANSWER

Get Married 2 is a 2009 Indonesian romantic comedy directed by Hanung Bramantyo and starring Nirina Zubir and Nino Fernandez. A sequel to the 2007 hit Get Married, it details the efforts of Mae and Rendy to have children.

Although Bramantyo initially did not intend to make a sequel, he was convinced after reading the treatment by Cassandra Massardi. The film, in which most of the original cast returned, was released on 18 September and viewed by 1.2 million persons. Critical reception was mixed, although the film did receive an award at the 2010 Bandung Film Festival. Another sequel, Get Married 3, was released in 2011.

Plot
After four years of marriage, Mae (Nirina Zubir) and Rendy (Nino Fernandez) are childless. Meanwhile, her best friends Eman (Aming), Guntoro (Deddy Mahendra Desta) and Beni (Ringgo Agus Rahman) have already married and had children. This makes Mae feel pressured to quickly have a child and stresses her greatly. When Rendy forgets to come to a dinner celebrating their wedding anniversary, Mae is fed up and moves in with her parents, who try and convince her to leave Rendy.

Mae decides to try and work out her issues with Rendy, and the two begin working incessantly towards having a child. When that is unsuccessful, Mae decides that her tomboyish appearance is causing Rendy to be infertile. As such, she decides to surprise him by visiting his office after putting on make-up. However, she sees Rendy together with another woman, Vivi (Marissa Nasution) and walks out, saying that she wants a divorce. Rendy asks his mother (Ira Wibowo) to bring Mae back. However, both families fight, leaving Mae and Rendy separated.

Mae feels distraught without Rendy and often cries when she thinks nobody is watching. Eman, Guntoro, and Beni unsuccessfully try to cheer her up. Mae, trying to live independently, takes a job as a valet but faints at work; she discovers that she is pregnant. Rendy, not allowed to come near her, tasks the trio with watching over her. As Mae is very demanding and watching over her is very time consuming, Eman, Guntoro, and Beni are almost divorced by their wives. Mae furtively begins meeting with Rendy, as her parents still want her to divorce him. She discovers that he has not been having an affair, and they reunite. Mae later gives birth to triplets, as both families look on happily.

Production
The film was directed by Hanung Bramantyo, a Yogyakarta-born director who had recently directed numerous Islamic-themed films, including the blockbuster Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Verses of Love) the previous year. Bramantyo's betrothed, Zaskia Adya Mecca, worked part-time as a casting director. Bramantyo later stated that he was interested in comedies about marriage, generally considered a serious subject in Indonesia, as "nobody understood marriage", from the President to a pedicab driver.

Get Married 2 was a sequel to Bramantyo's 2007 film, Get Married, which detailed how Mae and Rendy fell in love. The film had been a critical and commercial success, being viewed by 1.4 million people and winning Bramantyo a Citra Award for Best Director at the 2007 Indonesian Film Festival. Initially, Bramantyo did not want to make a sequel. However, when he read Cassandra Massardi's treatment, he agreed. Most of the main cast from the first film – Nirina Zubir, Ringgo Agus Rahman, Aming, and Deddy Mahendra Desta – reprised their original roles. However, the Indo actor Nino Fernandez replaced Richard Kevin as Rendy.

The rock band Slank was contracted to provide the soundtrack. Although the band had previously had negative experiences when acting in Generasi Biru (The Blue Generation; 2009), they agreed to work on Get Married 2 as they were not required to act. They recorded a total of twelve songs for the film, including two new ones.

Release and reception
Get Married 2 was released on 18 September 2009, four days after Bramantyo's marriage with Mecca and towards the Eid ul-Fitr holidays. It was one of four Indonesian films released before the holidays, the others being Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 2  (When Love Prays 2), Preman in Love and the animated Meraih Mimpi (Chasing Dreams). Get Married 2 was a commercial success, being viewed by 1.2 million persons; it was the fourth best-selling Indonesian film of 2009, behind Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 2, and Garuda di Dadaku (Garuda on My Chest). The film won Best Poster at the 2010 Bandung Film Festival.

The reviewer for the Bali Post found the film enjoyable and praised the cast's performances. The review in Suara Pembaruan found the film very similar to the first, and complained that the comedy trio of Rahman, Aming, and Desta – major characters in the first film – were underdeveloped in the sequel.

Get Married 2 was followed by Get Married 3, directed by Monty Tiwa and released in 2011. It followed Mae and Rendy's struggle to raise their triplets, with both families attempting to exert control. In the third instalment, a Pribumi actor, Fedi Nuril, played Rendy.
