Dead duck

My boys have basically grown up with him as a show buddy. They are 26 and 22 and were 13 and 9 when we started seeing Rude at DSO shows. Being a fellow tall head, I could always look around the room and spot him and him I and we’d share a laugh or smile from across the room while dancing. He texted me before phish played Nashville in 23 to ask if we were going. He told us to not get a hotel and we bunked with a hometown friend of his. We had such a good weekend while dragging this guy to his first phish shows. BBQ, gambling, football, DSO, there are many of my favorite things that won’t the same without ol’ Rudedogg. Rest easy my brother.

It’s weird I haven’t been able to comment or post on here or even react to comments and now everything works. I’m heartbroken as we all are. I can’t help but cry for the little one. I had just texted with him a few days ago. 😢

Congrats man! Sounds awesome

I went to see an Allman Tribute called blue sky dogs in an old playhouse in brown county. I really like that area and the band was really decent. Can’t find much out about them.This may be a relatively new project even tho they’re abunch of older dudes.

I saw acoustic Trey at Brown county last night. Quickly becoming one of my favorite venues. All the seniors who work/volunteer there are always smiling and friendly, and I always end up getting a brown county little opry history lesson from a local which I love. Show was fun too. I’d assume that venue is half the size of the others he’s playing this tour.

So far it seems that playoff expansion was not needed. The teams at the top are just picking out of better/bigger pools of players than the Indianas, SMUs and Tennessees.

I wanted to come up for that one being I’ll be out of town for NYE. A local birthday killed my plan. Today I’m riding up to the trap to give some of the vendors gifts at their holiday bazaar. (Soda Ash and desiccant and shit from the shutdown of our production that I can help some heads out rather than send it to another company)

I did notice that the first weekend lines up w/the first weekend of March madness.

I’ll go back if it’s an all new show from last yea graphics wise. Gamblin mama is itching to go again after bringing home $40k last year. I told her if we go back I’m taking her to the sphere on a headfull of gummies she claims don’t do anything while she acts goofy as hell. 😆🤣

I did Grateville on the river in Louisville. BCE, hot brown smackdown, pranksters, grateful dads; Mr. Please; Captain midnight; pink talking fish todays bluegrass/old and in the way day. I’ll probably watch a little football early and roll over there later.

I did Indy last night and am doing pink talking fish in Covington tonight. Sam and his fiancé are still coming up for Billy tonight.

I did Lazy summer home this weekend. Highly recommend. Maybe same guy who owns the Trap owns this place? (I could be wrong) super cheap weekend. Not enough people to worry about bad bathroom conditions. Pool and shit. Reminds me of the black mountain KOA scenery wise. Cabins to rent but I reserved a car camp spot by a pond. Cool little Hyryder family owned place about 25 minutes from Deercreek. I literally stayed at a hotel off this same exit two weeks ago with Luke for phish. 2 weeks before that I did the ledges with Sammy and AC. Also this place is Right by the casino in Anderson and also near Uranus fudge factory. 🤣😆

The last “I guess it doesn’t matter, anyway” before the solo. The MSG run Sept 87 comes to mind. And that solo is shot out of a cannon and filled with rocket fuel.

I did both also. Just weed for phish, dosed for 2/3 of D&C. Can confirm not needed but took it to another level for sure.

I recommend it. I mean dead and co is what it is, but the sphere is the show and a mind blowing experience. Boys are going out that same weekend but I don’t think they’ll land in time for DSO. Dead visuals on that screen with that sound was craaaaaaaazy and I recommend catching it now because the Eagles have it next. 🤣
