  1. I think that calls for an appropriate uniform. People feel better when they know order is being maintained. And Spandex is flexible when a move needs to busted.

  2. I’m always grateful to anyone who makes the effort to share real-time during a show. It shows commitment and thoughtfulness by helping others who are interested in what the band plays.

     

    I never knew there was a protocol to posting the songs during the actual show. I know I have been an offender in years gone by. Now that matters have been clarified I will try to be in compliance if I ever see any shows again.

    Wonderful time and the pain I am in now was worth every second of dancing bliss. More to come.

     

    Highlight of the highlights: Eyes>Corrina. Discuss amongst yourselves!

  4. They’ve been doing electives since I stared seeing them in ‘01, and probably before that. An elder Starhead may be able to confirm. Bueller?

     

    Anniversary recreations have usually been the exception rather than the the norm.

     

    The good news is that in recent years (like the course of this decade) they have become more frequent. The bad news is that Terrapin Nation seems to have faded away. It all has evened out, I suppose.

  5. It is not for me to go on at great length here. But I agree with Greg - Tara's illness and the love shown here to her and her family then does seem like yesterday. The love shown since is evidence of the greatness of which people are capable. And I have never doubted that Tara is watching over her family until they are all reunited. 

     

    And all of this will be a dream we dreamed one afternoon.

    He will be remembered forever as an excitable boy. We are the better for him having been here, and he is sorely missed. What a body of work he left us.

     

    Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
    For what was already mine...

  7. I'm no Abby but common sense dictates that you give them all raises, have neither set working hours nor job requirements, implement a bonus policy that rewards any attendance whatsoever, and certainly remove all obligations to communicate in any manner with mere clients or customers.

     

    Fucking Gen X and Boomers. We can't die off soon enough.

  8. I think we all have memories of Dewey; a couple of them are even fond. I don't see myself going back there again either. Too much of anything can sometimes be too much.

     

     The thing I always liked about Hampton Beach was walking out of the venue after the show lit up like a Christmas tree and seeing how the cop cars were too. With their blue and red lights it was just so festive! But it did seem best not to stick around watching all the pretty colors. And when it comes to driving, a designated person really is the better part of valor.

     

    The video posted by August West in the other Hampton thread tells the tale pretty well.

  9. I will be cuing up the Sandwich Man CD from the first anniversary show.

    Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune

    Something to make us all happy

    Do anything to take us out of this gloom...

    Time helps heal but the heart never forgets.
