Rude

Ask tea how to balance school and dead. My dog ate my car. I had surgery and unfortunately email doesn’t exist yet to provide proof. Did I tell you my dog ate all my shoes and the cabbie said 15 minutes then never showed up. It’s sad that someone *69’d a bomb threat. I heard on the radio that it was a snow day. My Hawaiian tropic bikini calendar was misprinted and it said the 17th was Saturday. Pretty sure those all would still work.

My buddy Sam, who’s a big boy himself, started quoting big boy Pete lyrics after that show lol. He was like i got a .45 to keep me alive; seven bullets on my side. I’m like what is that from. He’s like big boy Pete. He had no clue that is an ultra rare song. As far as he knew the dead played it a lot and wanted to learn the lyrics.

My buddy’s 1st show was Louisville for that 69 and he knew no dead and thought it was amazing. But he was engaged fully.

LOL on facebook someone said if DSO keeps doing shows like that they wont have any fans left and another said they had seen 300 dead type shows and this was the worst one they ever saw. Maybe its all those "original" dso songs they did last night. Its weird that you only get those kind of posts from 1 area of the country..........one of the only places where people will attack what they love. Get 3 hits then strike out and you are a bum. At least the bleachers didnt throw beer or batteries at the band.....The gf saw that setlist and drooled and even though she is the least combative person I know, wanted to post something like so sorry they didnt play touch of grey or something sarcastic. Its one reason why I left facebook. Id for sure have got into an online fight with those fools. The gf had never listened to almost any 69 stuff when she saw her 1st dso 69 and I figured she'd have a tough time with it, but instead she loved it and the eleven became her current fav dance song. I get that 69 may not be someones favorite dead but to post those posts is just being an asshole. And there I go being being a hypocrite and making a snide remark about the northeast after saying how people should keep negative comments to themselves, but then again Im not a northeast-head and follow the northeast around the country and when the northeast has 1 day of weather I dont like, I bash it.

Had a nice little win betting on maximum security. Haven’t seen the payoff yet but watched it at a bar and was like sweet he won and then went to hit a music club. That $20 bet should pay near $100.

Last year they sold out but think it was Saturday.

I’m not a big taking pics guy. The gf is and I’m glad she is. She has all these great albums on her Mac of each of our tours and it brings the memories back to life. I sort of chastise her for getting on her phone taking pics but after last year’s jazz fest and Cali tour I’m so glad I have those great pics. Most of the pics aren’t people but we have a pic of almost every marquee. I also have to accept having 1 pic per show taken of us by someone. But it makes her happy and even though posing is torture for me it’s something I have to go. But in the winter with nothing to do, streaming those albums through the tv snaps me out of the winter duldrums. And we never take pics of any compromising situations. Almost exclusively dinner pics and venue pics with people in it.

JRAD 3 miles away and skipping it....decided on just stumbling down Frenchmen tonight. The only reason I’m on a phone is our apartment literally 400 feet from Maison has no air and their tech will be here in 30 minutes. Hypothetically they could have their own Mardi Gras in our place if not supervised. Considering it’s night 1 of 8 they could have a lot of fun and I don’t trust them lol. By night 7 they can have at it.

I see my 1st year camping neighbors several times a year at shows. We all survived that weekend with just minimal injuries. It did rot my tent but I submitted a fema claim and they sent 3 contractors to assess the damage. They billed the gov $1200 and just gave me a sewing kit they valued at $500 but Walmart has for $2. Of course that’s not a real story besides the neighbors part. We do see them at Dso shows and saw them at bobby and Phil.

I don’t think I’ve hardly seen a show in the last year you weren’t at. I love how you’ve picked up the pace, not that you ever really slowed down.

If you watched the masters it’s how you make America great again. No phones allowed. We are missing the peace associated with tuning in. Tech is going to lead to the next evolutionary step in the homo sapien and it will be a fast jump as society all stares at a screen hours a day. Babies will eventually be hardwired to be able to stare at screens 16 hours a day. Our eyes and thumbs will evolve. I predict an additional thumb joint to make texting easier.

I go with friends but we all do our thing. Heck me and the gf go different spots now. She knows to find me at the back plus it’s hard to miss me. I’m the beacon. If I stand on my toes I look like a mic stand.

You’d need a good jazz band to do the Saunders and Jerry stuff. I’m a fan of traditional jazz and that’s as close as any of the boys got to doing it. Some of those 73 Jerry and merl shows had 20+ minute segments of instrumental traditional jazz. They went deep. On etree there are a bunch of 4 song shows here and there. I’m guessing many of the reels just disappeared and that’s all they dug up.

You flying solo means no Jerry band ;). Sort of surprised Dso not doing a Jerry set this year. Those noon shows are a great way to start the day. Every Sunday at home we make a big breakfast and put on Jerry band and it’s the perfect way to start a lazy Sunday. Unless....Dso is doing a Jerry band show for one of theirs??? Gimme!!

Missing this whole tour besides a 1 off Nashville show was rough. Had to help the gf with her masters thesis and today got the news that she passed. Omg my stress is over. Did not like missing a whole southern tour like this but it feels like I just graduated too. Yes I’m pretty much spamming and screaming it from the tree tops but school is over for this household. The nonstop stress over the worst thing ever, school, is over. Team America fuck yeah!! My living room is littered with fucking national institute of health research studies and so much other shit that’s going in the trash today. I’ll never set foot in bowling green again unless dso plays there. Typing this is making it real to me. I literally asked if I was dreaming this morning as we’d been watching the OA last night as well as inception. I couldn’t be sure if I was or not. Literally slapped myself lol. The nightmare is over. No more tuition payments!! Lol.

That 2nd set would have tested the limits of what my mind wanted to do vs what my body could do. My mind always wins and my body pays the price. That venue is cool as shit though. Perfect place for a community venue as the land is pretty much worthless by the swamp so it puts it to good use. Great vibe at that place. it’s pretty much volunteer staff and that generally creates a welcoming vibe vs the staff that looks at everyone as a possible perp and are pissed off b/c they make $9 an hour. Working for a few hours for free and then getting to watch the show makes for happier peeps. In I think Petaluma the chick keeping peeps out of the vip balcony worked until 15 minutes after the show started and then opened it up to all as she pulled out her vape and said her volunteer shift was up and now she could enjoy the show. I long for California again.

I hope this isn’t foreshadowing for Wilmington. Last year there were all these kids playing down by the swamp and we were like hope that no alligator pops out and takes a kid back in with him. Very cool venue in the middle of a swamp.

free image hosting this is not correct FYI. Get off your flight now.

Wilmington does it right. They have a big all day tailgate before this show. The city is super cool about the lot party too. I tried to buy tix for my parents from 2 different people and they refused to take any money. That’s a good vibes scene. Will be sad to miss it Sunday but happy for the friends that get to go.

Shit that’s some bad luck. Well technically it’s bad calendar deciphering. I had a really weird dream I literally just woke from that sml and I shared a hotel room that was actually the inside of a pickup truck. I know that’s maybe harder to decipher than a tour schedule but I’m scratching my head as well for the meaning of that one. P.S. it’s not at the ritz in London like on the google schedule at one time.

Victim is a dangerous song. It can take your marbles away.

I’m so rusty with no shows since New Years I was convinced this was 87 until someone said you know Lisa is on stage right. When chimes played I was back to reality. Unfortunately it was hard to hear her lyrics but being in the south they likely wouldn’t have resonated like the 1st bust out in Portland after the inauguration. That was a moment for the ages.

I’m thinking this sets up nicely for the 4/6/69 show tonight plus an elective set.
