Pat Mallenger on sax(!!!!!) for Help>eyes Around and around. Kevin Rosen played encore.

Speaking of heart rate monitors I have used my phones heart rate app at the end of a set and I was around 150. Keeping our heart rates up for that extended a period pays nice dividends unless trump is right and the human heart has a finite number of beats. In that case we are killing ourselves every show.

All pictures finally recovered!!! Found jazz fest and jubilee that were yet to be pulled off the card. There were some great pics we will be sending out to everyone in them. There are some fantastic fun pics. Mei was free ranging and has pics with almost everyone lol. There are a few gems but unfortunately wont share them with the entire internet considering the new software which removes peoples clothing. Don’t want people to think mango was streaking at redrocks. But it’s also a great cover in case you are caught on camera actually streaking through say the Vic Theater. That would be easy to prove though. You would definitely lose a foot being naked in the Vic. No way you are getting out of that place without some major infection. Their no shoes no shirt no service sign just says no shoes no foot. On that note 8 days til we put Vick’s vapor rub on our upper lip like a coroner. They are the only music venue with an indoor steam room/smoking lounge/bathroom all in one. Employees run downstairs to the bathroom to smoke cigs then stomp out on the floor. It was my 1st Dso show so it has a place in my heart. If the Pabst theater is Chevy chase, the Vic is cousin eddy. Thank you folks. That’s all the time I have. Make sure to tip your servers and bartenders.

Epic weekend. Was crazy how the rain started pouring within seconds of show ending. I wonder if Dso finishing with their short white rabbit vs longer one was because of the radar. Waiting at the top of the venue b4 the show was unique because I’ve never been up in the mountains with lightning striking all around us. They herded all of us at the top entrance into the museum and theater so we wouldn’t die. I’d have never walked through there if that hadn’t happened. After the show, the gf accidentally deleted the whole memory card on her camera so the likely thousand pics of the weekend are in digital purgatory. I’m not a big picture taker when traveling as I tend to try to avoid technology but I’m glad she does because it’s nice going back years and watching slide shows on tv of our travels and to me it reinforces the memory of the event. In the things vs experience debate(there is no debate imo) maybe pics are the one thing that enhances the memory of the experience.

I enjoyed phish. Their light setup was off the charts. Sound quality fantastic too. Their sound wasn’t shitty like deadcos sound. It was like Dso quality on a larger scale. They have this insane snake lighting that creates an effect like the stage is turning side to side. Almost fell over twice literally. I still don’t see how deadco has such muddled sound. Of the 12 or so shows I always leave with a wtf is their board guy doing. Jrad also has sound that I’m not a fan of. It’s like if you use one of those live theater sound filters at home. It’s this hollow audience taps effect. I love what they do musically but the sound shouldn’t be fucked with like their board operator does. Dso puts out this crisp sound where the cymbals and high hats are crystal and JRAD goes so heavy midrange you can barely hear his high hats. That’s what made Betty boards so special. The cymbals were so clear it was like you were next to the drum kit.

Boulder is at will call redrocks just came up on flash seats app 2 days ago. If you don’t have them on your flash seats app by now there’s an issue. The only issue I see is that everyone’s ticket is at will call at Boulder which may create a backlog to get in.

Was trying to transfer my vip redrocks to someone but evebtright won’t respond. Good luck with the transfer....

Not sure about this otherlove guy. I liked that sunny guy as long as the room wasn’t in my name. Goingbacktowhere didn’t go to many shows and went dark for a long period. Now this new character shows up. But he can’t be any worse than Tea squelching full volume as the cops climbed the stairs though. Stop singing bro. Not til the song is finished. Those 2 lady cops were not fans of us straight white males. If those 2 lady cops swung the other way we could have sweet talked them as opposed to keeping their hands on their pistols dealing with middle age guys who are obviously not violent threats. I think they mistook that singing for the cries of a tortured lemur. Not trying to be sexist but 2 lady cops together means a bullet is getting fired with any physicality. That was very strange. Never saw that before. I’m guessing they wouldn’t get the 4 large males fighting call but got the hotel drunken singing call.

Sweet. I like the early 7pm shows when hanging with a bunch of friends after. The 9pm start times make for brutal late nights.

Carpet is easier on your joints but worse on ligaments as your feet won’t turn without lifting but carpet absorbs some shock. It all depends on if you are putting up and down pressure or more turning. I’m going to start using roller skates. I hear it’s coming back in style. It would be appropriate with a 78 recreation on a nice wooden dance floor as disco and skates are a perfect combo.

The man who’s tale I tell only has glimpses of memory that the sirens let him retain. He still has those soaking wet boxers I hear. The rumor is that they have never dried and is cursed to have to wear these wet garments until the day he passes when he will be laid to rest at sea in hopes of uniting with the siren for eternity.

The pool is where the Fancy folk swim. The creek is a mountain spring. You can get hypothermia within 15 seconds I hear or at least it will shrink a man’s balls. But it’s like a sirens song that has drawn one or 2 drunken lost sailors to her shores. She wipes away the memory of it and they are left to wake in confusion the next day. I’ve been lucky to not hear her call as it’s supposedly beautiful as well as deadly but I know one man who has lived to tell the tale. I hear he’s returning to the same spot to hear her lovely song again this year. I pray for his soul.

We went to Walmart and got these 3oz empty lotion containers that I filled with four roses single barrel barrel strength bourbon all west coast tour last year. They went in her Fanny pack. No one is going to open chicks lotion containers. Great minds think alike Vic. People gave me a weird look when drinking from it. It’s like the it’s always Sunny episode the gang goes to the jersey shore. Everyone else was drinking booze from lotion containers but Charlie was drinking sun tan lotion lol. She sets off the scanner every time we go in but, unlike with males, it goes no further. If questioned she just says underwire bra lol. These new wands don’t just detect metal. They detect gaps and liquids. Booze has set it off before. Of anyone going to a show, she’d be the one you wouldn’t guess was sneaking stuff in lol. But that was my influence to start and she’s now taken it to a whole other level. She once snuck in bowl and a vape. I’m like why do you need 2. She’s like the vape is the chaser. Monster I tell ya. I’ll be like shit I forgot the airplane bottles at the hotel. She’s like I already got them in my bra. She’s the organizer and I’m the planner. We make a good travel team I also have my 1st set rule. Gotta drink all the booze you are going to drink set 1 to be sober by drive time in cities with free parking. That’s probably a foreign concept to New Yorkers and Chicagoans. You mean some cities have free parking lots. Yes they do.

Pro tip: if with a gf/wife, sneak it all in their bra. Those will hold 2 vapes, booze, and of course things like chapstick, gum, etc as purses are not the way to go at a show. Boobs are like a fanny pack but better and multi purpose. After the show getting in bed will result in “I wondered where _______ went” as coins, cash and Lost vape carts fall out.

Sneak in airplane bottles of booze if you plan to drink at a show. All venues have ridiculous prices. At live nation venues I won’t spend a penny if I can avoid it. Others I don’t mind buying a beer(on top of a few airplane bottles). I also check if we can bring in sealed bottles of water and bring the liter ones. It’s the principle of the thing. I’m there for the band and they get my money with a ticket sale, but don’t want to shell out 1-2k a year on Venue concessions. Plus it’s also a principle of a being a good deadhead to sneak things in. I think many of us pride ourselves on thumbing our noses at authority to an extent.

1st time played. Wow.

. I learned a foreign language for nothing. 😂

Pisgah jubilee will be like regular jubilee in that I prob won’t see any bands until 8pm . This is my hangout weekend with friends. Won’t be sitting at pisgah all day long.

Meili thinks your story of meeting during a Terrapin is the most romantic story ever. Before seeing 100 dead related shows she wouldn’t have thought the same lol. Before she remembered your names she would reference you as “the really happy couple” and I knew exactly who she meant . Congrats and here’s to 25 more!!

We were in aurora and I said hey bro are u having trouble keeping up as a joke.

Dishwasher blonde? Is she wearing a hair net? Think you mean dishwater 😜. You’d used to see MC dancing a whole show but he has begun to slow down, but he still gets it for a good hour a show. I’ve decided I’m going to really super attempt to maybe try not to dance every second of every show to save my body maybe? I gots no self control when Dead is played loud and it’s takinh its toll. Maybe MC just sees lots of broken down dancers and he doesn’t want to join the club. Smart move. I’ll maybe possibly attempt to try to curtail my enthusiasm, at least in 2020 or 2021, well at least by 2035 or tone it down on uneven surfaces or just boot up and pump it up really tight. On that note I’m pretty much fully healed and it makes me scared to get crazy considering it’s taken 16 months to repair. I’m susceptible now but what can you do. Maybe don’t listen to Dead or see deadco. At deadco you can bob your head and be one of the hardest dancers. No peer pressure there plus maybe I need a slow tempo music I don’t feel inclined to need to dance to. It’s not like the furious Dso crowds where the floor is slick from sweat flying. I tried my hardest but never built up a sweat over 3 shows this summer seeing deadco. Geez.

I bet you were seeing more than hazy then.

I remember us having a hotel and someone saying we need to leave this comfy hotel at 1am and arrived at the floor we were sleeping on at 6am. Maybe fatherhood is taking its toll on you or just Father Time.

U healthy enough for BM? It took me until the 2nd year to understand you and now that we can finally communicate you had surgery. (Insert poetic fate line here(and not a lyric from simple twist))

Pop on some Netflix to do with what the doctor gave you if they still do that any more. Broken back? Here’s a script for Advil. Umm I have Advil at home. These are double strength. Umm I can just eat 2 of what I have at home. Yeah I’m going to wait at the pharmacy for an hour for Advil. What’s weird is there is a drugstore on every corner now but it takes 2x longer to get prescriptions as it did when there were fewer drugstores. I guess the recurring payment model of monthly “ADD” and “pain” meds worked well for the huge pharmacy chains. You don’t like to be at work? You have ADD. Thread drift completed.
