  1. I think the band likes the gorgeous theaters. I love a mega flat dance floor like that place. Give me a flat spot and room to move and that’s all i need. The Signal in Chattanooga wax just like the anthem but 5x+ smaller floor and 10x smaller overall. The anthem is the bees knees. 
     

    glad you guys got to groove in the anthem. Saw Dso 3x and Jrad once there and it always blows me away. 

     

  2. Sorry didn’t get to say goodbye doc. As soon as that last note played I booked it out for the long drive home. Pretty sure I told my goodbyes to all pre show. Gaining an hour got us home at 3a as opposed to 4a and she got 3 hours sleep b4 work. I was joking with some Atlanta peeps why they weren’t doing Chattanooga with only 1:45 drive. I’m llike who doesn’t add a show that close. YoU are home by 1:30. That’s a no brainer. Some peeps need to fix their priorities not doing local shows like that. Some thought it was insane to see a show 1:45 away like Chattanooga to Atlanta. Pretty much everyone here besides John A tries to do every show if only 2 hours away.

    Our hipster hotel was cooler than the venue, but the music at the venue was decidedly better!! 😅


    it’s like do you prefer the anthem or a theater. I’ll take a box with a big flat dance floor over being behind a seat or on a slant all day. The signal was my fav of the 2 indoor b/c I could move. On that note I’ll take outdoor all day with a big PA. Cotter walked by in Birmingham and asked if it was too loud. Nope. Perfect. We can always move back if too loud but nothing you can do if not loud enough.

    I'll get a room right there so I can miss out on the hiking and driving. The Wharf looks to be self contained.


    there’s an amazing Japanese sushi restaurant there balled NaRa-Ya. We had this insane wagyu beef tartar appetizer that was presented under a dome of smoke. Never ate raw ground beef before but it was delish!!!

  5. Now that was a fun crowd. We all had room to get down and I tried to keep up with the kids in the back but I had no chance. Full on get down with 50 hard hard dancers ruling the back and post D/S when the gawkers left the entire place was in full get down. Watching 300 peeps no matter if they ever danced before all get down b/c if you weren’t shaking your bones you’d be really out of place, is always a hoot!!  We left drenched and exhausted and hit the road for the 4 hour drive home. Thank you DSO for reminding us what our favorite band does like no other!!! When I say DSO is Meilis fav band they are like that’s because of you. No. I did start it of course. There’s nothing that does it for her like this. Dso is what the dead was for older peeps and thank you for carrying on the elite level of dead for the new and older generations and the new generation was on display in Chattanooga and their get down was fun to be involved with. Cheers. 

     

     

    also this was my 200th show. Covid delayed that small milestone 3 years as we’d prob be at 300 without the shutdown>covid baby.

    I think the eagles narrative is funny. We keep winning while the media keeps saying we held on for that one. The eagles survived. It's comical. Wins are wins. Winning isn't easy in the NFL. I like where we are right now. Do we need to improve? Of course. Do we need to play a more complete 60 minutes of football? Absolutely. Do I think we can find ourselves back in the Super Bowl? That's a resounding yes. We our great in the trenches. We can get one yard on command which is much harder in the nfl then you may realize. I like our chances.


    you’re right that winning is all that matters in the nfl, but the eagles don’t look as dominant as they did last year. Dallas fired Kellen Moore who when Dak wasn’t injured had the highest scoring offense in the NFL over the last 3 seasons. This year the offense isn’t what it was. Worst red zone team vs best last year. He got fired for not putting us over the hump vs the 49ers….now we likely wish him back.

    Looking forward to "The Anthem" in Washington DC on the 21st. I've got an extra ticket, a car and looking to see if anyone in the Asheville, NC / Spartanburg, SC would want to share the ride and a few expenses. Message me!

    What can anyone tell me about the venue??? Looks like an awesome spot on The Wharf. Should be fun, but anyone with stronger bearings .... what do you know?

    Aiko Aiko


    It’s one of the epic new breed of large dedicated music venues for bands that 2k is too small and arenas are too large. It has the biggest flat GA dance floor there is. I think the GA floor part only is like 4k capacity and overall capacity is 6k. The PA is fantastic. Very loud. It’s a cashless joint fyi. You will have big fun!!!!!  Lots of places to drink within 100 feet. It’s got a really easy Uber pickup and drop off spot. It’s part of a 2bil development and it’s patrolled by cops and cameras but that’s just for protection from violence. In pretty much every big city weed is irrelevant to cops in tourist areas. They care about protecting the tax base and a shooting kills tourist dollars. Don’t punch anyone and don’t piss on the street and you will have a real good time!!!

  9. Duh. I bet Georgia. It was at Georgia and Georgia had a lot to prove. 
     

    this year would be the perfect year for a 12 team playoff. There are 6 teams that could win it. Oregon is hard to stop. Washington has a great offense. You have Georgia and Bama loaded with talent and although having offensive issues, would you want to play either in a 12 team playoff. This year would be so fun for a playoff with no unbeatable teams. Alas next year is the year for it. 

  10. I’ve never seen a team that in the NFL will beat 3 teams 108-13 and then act like they can’t play football. The penalties like lining up offsides and personal fouls and stupidity didn’t help but we can’t play physical football. Teams smash us in the mouth. How do you win 30-0, 40-10 and 38-3 and then forget how to play defense. Even if Dallas could run the ball and pass the ball, no way we could score 42 on 49ers best defense in the league. We are broken and I have no clue what’s up. How many defensive breakdowns did they have leaving stars wide open. It was like big 12 defense. And then they were so physical we got like 6 guys injured. I saw it at 2am last night when I got home from phish and it was sickening. If you want to run the ball run it at Micah. He’s great but a 1 trick pony sack machine. The offense isn’t like when we had cooper. He was evidently a cancer but he got open. Dak stunk after a really sharp effort last week. Gross gross. 49ers are scary. They have no weakness. Best coached team in the league. Eagles may have the best O line, but the 49ers execute like no one else. Will be hard for anyone to beat those guys 

  11. Love you doc. Can’t wait to see you Sunday. Trying to find our legs this weekend so we are ready to boogie for DSO. When you are doing half the shows, you get pretty strong but covid fucked a lot up and our 4 hour mega cardio events are missing bigly from our lives and I need those for my physical health. A 3-day run should give the heart a good workout.

  12. So the giants tried the eagles nearly unstoppable 1yd QB sneak and they lost their center and another O lineman for a while. Thats nuts. Their 4th and 1 was a fail. The reason the eagles are so good at it isn’t b/c hurts gets a push.  It’s b/c the eagles have the best O line in football and Hurts can squat 600 pounds. I drool over the eagles O line. It is what Dallas had in 2016 but we couldn’t stop Rogers on a 3rd and 15. 

  13. Eagles are way underperforming this year, but they have a great O and D line and 2 great receivers. Your running QB is perfect for your setup. Dallas vs Arizona had 3/5 OL ruled inactive right before game. Backups didn’t practice to play. Last week we got 2 back and we smoked

    SB quality roster. Just need QB that shows up in until big moments. When defense is a little off. When the other guys aren't sharp. The guy that pulls it altogether. Makes that drive. You go up 4 on cheifs with 2 minutes left you fucked up. Everybody knows Pats got this you scored too soon. No one feels that way bout Dak. Dak a stud in the blow outs. He's a sheep in need of a shepherd in the close ones.


    there are 15 QBs in the league that can make the throws if they have protection. Chiefs only scored 9 one SB b/c they couldn’t block. It’s all about the O line and receivers that can get open. 

  15. Oh Kentucky isn’t going anywhere. They have Tennessee, Georgia, Bama and then South Carolina and Missouri are toss up games. 8-4 is a likely result going 3-4 to finish. 
     

    this year a Washington or USC or Oregon could be a legit playoff team. It’s been a while since the pac 12 had a team that could actually compete vs the actual big dogs. 
     

    I took advantage of my legal Kentucky betting signup $200 free bet on Bama -16.5 which seemed way high but they covered pretty easily. I did hedge it with a $50 bet the other way as I was gonna leave with money for sure. What’s funny is meili doesn’t gamble but set her up and acct and hedged every free bet on draftkings and she cashed an extra $250 from the over the top signup and referral bonuses. She was skeptical about my plan but I just bet both teams with each free bet. She thoufht that was boring so dropped her a bet on Dallas and also the hapless Eagles who didn’t cover of course. 

  16. Kentucky gets no respect. Top 20 recruiting classes year after year. Yeah they get the SEC effect where the top players want to play top teams but still they are recruiting some studs. Lots of defensive players drafted over the last 5 years. 4-0 to start the year and not ranked. Let’s see if they can hold this 23-0 lead vs Florida and they will catapult up.

    Dak just isn't the answer in big D. He's good. Serviceable. I'm not even saying he's a back up. The jets would love to have him but he's not winning super bowls. I think Dallas gives up on Dak following this year. They have a Super Bowl quality roster but can't beat Arizona with a back up QB in the game. 


    SB quality roster? Arizona scored all 5 possessions in the 1st half. They were missing 3/5 of the O line as a last second scratch. The red zone offense sucks v/c we can’t run the damn ball when it matters. We ran it 5 straight times on the last drive in the red zone and got nowhere.

    We had to cancel due to Whitney's pregnancy. Islandgigs refunded our deposit minus and name change so that may be an option for these guys. 


    Weak excuse to cancel. It’s not her exact due date is it? We did that dso drive in run in Maryland at 7.5 months preggers and would have done it later.  By baby 3 they just pop out in 10 mins and you really don’t even need a doctor. Just have some good scissors and practice your knots. But I do understand that if you popped it out in Jamaica, you wouldn’t have a passport for him which could be a bit sticky coming back through customs. “How much did you pay for that baby? Tell me the truth dammit!” But then the good cop starts talking, but don’t trust him!!! He’s the worst of them all pretending to be your friend and shit. After 36 hours you will sign whatever just to take a nap and boom. Baby boy is in Guantanamo and no lawyer wants to touch the case. After thinking on it, it’s probably a smart move not going. 

  19. There’s someone on CashorTrade selling their ocean view suite at Bahia for 2k a person double occupancy. $500+ off the price. It’s not the main resort though. I bet dude would go to 3k-$3500 since it’s not sold out and not the Jewel. This could be a shot for someone where $2300 with taxes was too much but $1500 could possibly work. 
     

    Eventually we will end up going and I’ll abandon one of my principles of not spending over $200 per person per show to see any band considering the up charge is over $250 from non-show to show nights. I love DSO but a man must have principles, but now time away is a bigger factor than money.

    Edit: here’s a main resort for sale with extra nights full price. Looks like 2 offers so far but guessing he rejected those.

    Although New Jersey gets a bad rap it is a good place to live. It is the Garden State and not sure how I would fare without Jersey corn and Jersey tomatoes not to mention all the other great fruits and vegetable grown here. I have spent 10 plus years traveling into New York City daily, Manhattan Brooklyn mostly. I would much rather live where I live and travel to the city. It takes just as much time for me to go to the city as to the beach or to Ken Lockwood Gorge or many other areas that are beautiful parts of New Jersey. I couldn't handle living anywhere near a place like "try that small town" I get very nervous when I am surrounded by nothing but Caucasian people. Except at a Grateful Dead like event...


    we are 75% Caucasian here. We are the tiny blue blip. And….DSO actually played a show here in 2003 at our 3k capacity performing arts center. I was living in Nashville at the time. My life is quiet and hibernation until travel. It used to be 8-9 months hibernation and up to 4 months travel but that was unsustainable and I suspect if we stayed in NOLA a 9th day during jazzfest 2019, I’d have gone into liver failure. Night 8 at voodoo dead having a smoke outside I sorta fell out not realizing i was turning sideways and some guys caught me. That place will kill you!! 
     

    i hate traffic. Hate it. Rush hour Nashville daily sucked. Never want that again.
