Rude

Shortly after sunrise, from mid-June through mid-July, rows of lawn chairs begin appearing between the limestone cliffs of Veterans Park. It's the time-honored method for reserving a prime spot for a great evening of entertainment! Get your chairs ready for our 51st season of admission-free summer concerts, music and theater, and join us a Springfield tradition - The Summer Arts Festival! Get those chairs ready people for a great night of sitting and knee slappin'. I'm gonna sit my ass off at this show. Let me know where everyone is going to sit during the show so we can all sit our butts off together......

Yes it's his 1st and mine as well. We can't wait. Love new experiences!!!! Fuck things. Give me memories!!

Sorry for your loss. The music will help ease your soul. Amd on a bright note, the weather looks epic. Clear skies with Mid-high 60s at showtime and finishing at around 60 degrees. Can't ask for more perfect conditions for an outdoor show.

Did you tell her she's prob got a 15-20% chance of one? But then again thats why we keep coming back. These current pop artists and even solid artists from the 70s and 80s have the same setlist night after night. I've wanted to see the pixies for years but was looking at their setlists night after night and are identical except for a 1-2 songs. How could u follow them. But the good news is I just want to see them once. I've been in my deadhead type bubble for a while. Pretty much dead or panic is all I've seen for 3 years. It's my safe space. I'm a dead snowflake. Seeing van Morrison in September may be strange. His music has a definite dance groove similar in ways to the dead's beat, but man I don't want 50 people videoing me dancing. That's not an issue at any GD related show but do that where half the people will have their phones out and I'm afraid I'll become a meme.

I never used the word fart until at prob 21 yrs old. Always hated that word. Am I super weird.

So thought this would be a good thread for random thoughts or things that dont fit in a category, i.e. Seinfeld like randomness. So was listening to some pop station today, and some rapper came on in the middle of the song. I didnt comprehend why it was needed but it seems to be a trend where you have as many people credited as you can. So......it reminded me of this SNL digital short which was brilliant. Keenan Thompson is so funny in it. Its short so watch it.

Im adding a contribute button to me. I feel like I'm just giving away life secrets that I should save for my book. All celebs write a tell all at one point. Mine will me like Did she use spam for deodorant one time. I remember the time he accidentally ate a 3 xanax right before the show thinkinh they were mints. Plus other tips like how to not smell like dirty balls after 4 days of camping. I'll answer that one now. U can't. My book is full of great stuff. Just finding the proper ghost writer.

This was to me the 2nd best weather of all the jubilees. My weather rank of the jubilees. 1. 2015 was as perfect as weather could be. 75 highs and Low 50s as the lows. Perfect for camping. 2. 2017. A tad warm at night trying to sleep. The rain didn't make much of a negative impact as I got in the car during the downfall post show and jammed tunes. Overall as good as you can really ask for. 3. 2014. Finally we had good weather. After the previous year, I think I was overprepared bringing thermals, coat, sock hat, gloves. You didn't have to go into hibernation post show like the previous 2 years. 4. 2012. Besides rain as soon as the bands ended and DSO night 3 cut short it was awesome. Note I had a huge tent and could hang out in it. Plus it made me get sleep with nothing else to do. And it felt like our own private fest with the couple hundred who showed up at the stage. Unfortunately I didn't know the people I know now or half of the people at the stage for DSO would have been friends. 5. 2016. It was just way too hot. Several at our camp were so fatigued from the heat packing in it made it rough. Plus it had been so cold all spring this was a jolt to the system. At night it was just too hot to sleep. 6. 2013. The ice bowl. Once you got cold you stayed cold. People weren't prepared. Was the 2nd straight year of no activity after the music ended. I was so cold I couldn't dance as that would create wind chill on me. I huddled up and did a shiver dance. Definitely the most subdued I've seen jubilee dancing. PG and I have done good. Brought our significants into the music fold and are now to the point that they can let loose with abandon I remember both early on. Little dancing. Not sure if this was their scene. Now we can't hold them back and they are the ones suggesting excursions. I think I've brought around 12 people to their 1st DSO show and those have cumulatively seen around 150 shows to this point. I need to recruit an MC type to shoot up my numbers on this pyramid scheme.

Im in!!

I watched the stream for it. Looked cold but not jubilee 2 cold.
