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.

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.

Happy birthday rob!

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.

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. https://cashortrade.org/profile/ElisaRoseMountain/posts/1351303/ Edit: here’s a main resort for sale with extra nights full price. Looks like 2 offers so far but guessing he rejected those. https://cashortrade.org/profile/WillRoyal/posts/1349772/

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.

if you don’t have a QB you are in trouble. Bama benched their QB1 for a much much worse dude. They gotta figure it out. Too many good teams in the sec west that can beat you if you aren’t playing well.

I like living in a smaller city. Luckily we are the economic hub of the area with 2 full service hospitals that serve the 250k people in surrounding counties which brings lots of professionals here. We also have the western district of KY federal courthouse that brings more than our share of lawyers here. The surrounding counties are white supremacist strongholds but we are the little blue blip in a sea of red. It’s a cute little town. My mortgage is eye poppingly low. Everything I need besides shows, which many of us have to travel for besides the 5 a year some get locally, I have. I do lack live music on weekends if we did anything at night anymore.

I was referring to FB peeps who demand the band play within 5 miles and don’t think a 1 hour drive is local. Unfortunately with a 2.75yr old, getting on planes are few and far between. But I will be doing 4-5 fall tour shows. Birmingham>Atlanta>Chattanooga then St. Louis and maybe chicago after. Our small local airport no longer has the 7am flight to chicago that lets us end up anywhere and now only flies to Charlotte. The other option is the 2 hour drive to Nashville which is no biggie if a direct flight. Last year for New Years dso we tried to find a flight that could get us to Albany leaving same day but the best we could find was 1 connection getting us there a few mins before show time. In the old days Philly was great b/c southwest flies there direct and cheap but having to add a travel day makes it too rough on the grandparents. Little boss is a handful.

I haven’t been on FB for prob 8 years but it’s always funny to read the Tour comments. One that recently made me giggle was someone said “Columbus finally!!!” I guess Thornville is too long a haul. The northeasters are the greediest. If you don’t have the northeast on every tour those peeps are pissed. But I did learn that New York is way too far for someone from New England to travel b/c of all the hate if there isn’t a show in New Hampshire or Boston.

jets went all in with a 2yr window before cap hell and cuts come their way just like they hit the Rams. Unfortunately my cowboys won’t go all in b/c Jerry wants at least above average teams annually without making the serious SB push by trading for 1-2 difference makers. He covets draft picks more than anything and he hopes against hope that no injuries will derail a paper thin O line like last year. He plays the long game hoping the draft picks will be ready to play in 1-2yrs vs trading for a stud. The last time we traded high we got Amati cooper and the season turned around. This year we are already counting on UDFA rookies to play O line as the last week of practice took out a starter and the backups are all horrendous
-
thats all true. But are you just referring to national championships? What bama did for so long won’t be matched. They are still a perennial top 5 program. Players win championships and they will continue to get them. Playing other top 10 teams and expecting to win all isn’t realistic and next year comes Texas and Oklahoma.
-
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!!!!

Quick question about hospitality on tour.
Rude replied to Ammagamalin Crew's topic in Tour Information Hub
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!
