Rude

Bama and Ohio state will have serious growing pains without their 1st and 2nd draft picks at QB but luckily Ohio state avoided the pitfall of playing a legit opponent well bama had their best recruiting class in history with 9 5-star recruits which is over 4 times more than the entire Big 10 recruited combined. They do lack an elite QB, but with that mega recruiting class, they will definitely stay upper echelon https://247sports.com/Season/2023-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/

i was so pumped when New England came back until I saw the replay and was like omg he’s OB. That would have been a great start since the nfc east will be a battle at the top

Buffet wrote a bunch of really good songs. Sometimes it’s surprising that Jerry never covered any. Jerry was his happiest in Hawaii so he lived the island life too.

Paging John A. If your drive up to date or do we need to burn it and start fresh.

Oh shit. Hope he’s doing well. Gotta keep that train on the tracks especially with everyone’s favorite band, Dead & Co, or as some call them on social media, the Grateful Dead, hanging up their guitars and sticks. Get well soon Rob!!!!

AC, it’s pretty easy to turn any car into a camper by removing one of the back seats and having your feet go into the trunk. Bill K did this. We also met a couple who turned their Prius into a camper for 2 by removing the back seats and building a structure with plywood on top that made a nice flat sleeping surface with storage underneath for their gear. They made it work with a tiny Prius and 2 peeps and they loved it. They said they crashed at truck stops and Walmarts.

I got to see him once in Cincinnati in the early 2000’s. We were talking a lot going to cincy last summer to see him as that’s the Mecca for him. Unfortunately we didn’t. A few months ago driving home from some show I put on songs you know by heart and I still know everyone by heart. I can sing pencil thin mustache without missing a word with the music playing. I can’t sing anything without musical prompts though.

I wonder if I’d actually attend a show in this 115 heat index heat If it was in chicago today. I think I’d probably pass. Playing outside with little man right now for 10 minutes has me soaked and I’m barely moving. Guess you’d need a bunch of paramedics on standby and some post NFL game ice baths. That could be VIP. Tubs filled with ice included in your ticket. Heat domes suck a dick!!!

Fyre festival early bird tickets for an undisclosed date at an undisclosed location for late 2024, sold out. Hope everyone got their tix. Should be epic. They only sold 100 so this was obviously to get free media publicity, but it also shows there are at least 100 fools out there who buy tix from a previous scammer without knowing when and where a festival will be or who will even be there….A sucker is born every minute

Got to catch Saturday of Hyryders lazy summer home fest. Was such a cute campground and a really nice setup. Also got to hang with a long lost doctor and my favorite newly married Irishman who I was surprised to see. They did 3 1:15 sets then a 1:30 final set. 5:15 of actual music left my calves screaming but I forged through full speed. It’s a different feel than a jubilee as it’s mostly locals and has a local feel vs jubilee with people from all over. It’s a bit more party party of a scene too with every other camp selling nitrous. Tanks 30 feet from the stage lol. There were more messed up peeps than you usually see likely b/c those peeps don’t hit the road for travel and stay close to home for various reasons. Definitely more of a blue collar feel. But Indy peeps have a solid local band with around 40 shows a year so they are very fortunate and they show their love for their band and their followers are committed. Post show having some drinks and someone with a big PA puts on a Deadco show and in my relaxed bliss with a glass of whiskey, I hear John mayer singing in my ear. Luckily several others agreed and we got them to switch to real dead. I’m like Jerry band, dead, Hyryder, dso, JRAD are all acceptable choices. Deadco isn’t lol.

no rhythm guitar on JGB stows. that moonlight mile was a pretty epic and a 1st time played. I was in a walking boot for that run but we were grinning ear to ear the whole time. It’s always fun when you decide to add unplanned shows on a tour and we added that Augusta show in the hood at the end. My fav picture is meili next to a burned down car outside that venue. They brought a security outside to make sure cars weren’t broken into and highly recommended we paid $10 to park inside their barbed wire fence. A block away from the venue people were staring us down. It made the electric factory feel like a nice gated community.

If Meilis boss tries to fuck us and make us miss the start of the Birmingham show not letting her off at 1 that day, we may just quit that job and go wild on fall tour. Mom can you babysit for a week. Then a few weeks later for another week? K thanks. Appleton> chicago looks cool besides 2 days off in Iowa of all boring places for a day off. But I’d guess there will be room to boogie!

Sweet. Jerry band shows are great. I think me Gr8tfulpair and Doc were the only ones who got that Jerry band run in like 2018 down south when Eaton missed around 5 shows. Those were some epic 3 set shows. Those set 3’s were unlike anything dso had ever done bringing out a percussion kit and playing completely different than they had ever done. glad a bunch of you got the goods!!

I’m getting excited for this. It’s been a while since I drove to 3 cities in 3 days. Since covid this is the 1st time the south has gotten an actual run in 4+ years!!! Meilis salivating about it as well. We are gonna do this without any PTO meaning driving home post show from Chattanooga. Post show driving also brings back great memories. There were tours we always hit the next town after the show. Some times there was no choice b/c you don’t day drive sandiego to LA or we had a spot to sleep in the next town. Covid turned so much stuff upside down and getting a little taste of being on actual tour is exciting!!!

That’s my kind of setlist!!!! They got the goods

https://www.facebook.com/hyryder/videos/1032677377750940/?app=fbl the rant starts at the beginning. You could sorta tell Hyryder was a bit uncomfortable. Being 2nd billled got them a whopping 1:20 of play time. That would have been disappointing

Did you hear that rant from the promoter ragging DSO’s manager while Hyryder was getting ready to play. Seemed tacky. You shouldn’t be ranting about that anyway in public but it’s rude to be like we wish DSO was headlining the fest but their manager wasn’t content, while Hyryder was up there. It’s like someone saying we wish Deadco was here but you have to settle for dso.

the FB vids look epic. There’s a lack of thong bikinis at jubilee and being a feminist, I fight for women to be able to wear them in every day circumstances and oppose censorship!! It seems that grateful fest is fighting back against this national push to demonize appropriate clothing!!

Wonder if anyones at grateful fest. Saw a video with hundreds in the water soaking up the sun.

I had a drive with lots of DSO boards including rams head 2007 and can’t find. I was going to upload them to archive as once they are no longer for sale on nugs they said we could upload them but can’t find the damn flash drive. There were lots of great shows on there too.

we wanted to do grateful fest but it’s not to be. with dso, ticket prices are irrelevant to seeing shows but the 3 day phish ticket for Bridgestone is $360 each and 720 for a pair stings a bit vs 250 for a pair 3-day dso run. We’re doing Friday and Saturday phish. There are a ton of unsold upper level which means tix on CashorTrade will be 40 or less for Bridgestone day of show when everyone dumps tix for less than face since it’s not sold out. It sort of sucks how phish and dso Birmingham>Chattanooga are back to back weekends. Would be nice to get a run a month instead of back to back weekends then not much rest of the year.

I’ve never been but you could explore Yellowstone for weeks and only do a fraction. We did 3 days 2 nights in Yosemite during west coast summer tour 2018 and had a blast. National parks are only like $25 a day to primitive camp in. With limited time and a bum ankle we drove the main drag to see all the main sites and spent lots of therapy time up to my knees in ice cold streams. It seems almost criminal to not spend extra days up there besides the show. I bet that place was packed with tourists being the biggest vacation week of the summer and likely would have been a bitch to drive through with so many cars. When Jonathan is old enough to appreciate stuff like that we will do a couple week road trip of national parks and camp. We are lucky to have such an amazing parks system here in the states that makes it affordable for all to visit.

Never mind. A woman was just gored in the chest by a bison in Yellowstone. Plus there are hot geysers and active volcanoes. It’s a death trap. https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/news/230717.htm

I’d love to do a week up there!! I’d also love to know about the dates in January. I think camping reservations in Yosemite go live in February.
