Rude

So we are in for Cincy, DC and Richmond. Booked a direct RT flight from cincy to Reagan and then it asked do you want to upgrade to 1st class for $75 a person. I’m like hell yes!!! RT 1st class for less than $250. Thats a deal!!! Actually used miles that have been accumulating for a while. Renting a car at the airport Saturday morning and driving to Richmond then back to DC early Sunday to catch a flight back. We contemplated doing Panic in Vegas as it’s on her actual birthday but this will be our belated 50/30 birthday celebration and didn’t want to have to do Vegas in a freaking mask at Caesar’s properties. Screw that. Going to do JRAD the weekend before to get us in shape to be ready to dance as long as the pageant eliminates their mask mandate. Doing athletic activities in a mask just isn’t for me. What’s funny is we had JRAD tix from their original 2020 shows in St. Louis and it’s been rescheduled a whopping 4x.

The worst issue is the harassment for dancing or standing at non jam band shows. You aren’t surrounded by the like minded and the harassment can get rough. If you only will see dso you went a long time without a show during 20/21. I’ll be seeing JRAD St. Louis the weekend before we do dso cincy DC Richmond. More music is more music.

Game 1 Sunday the Rams did their best to lose fumbling 4x in a 30 minute span. Game 2 both teams were desperate to win. Crazy games

Burrow needs to learn to throw the ball away. When he took the sack that took them out of FG range late, I thought he was gonna cost you the game. Luckily tannehill showed his true stripes. Throwing into triple coverage with 20 secs left in a tied game. Boneheaded move. Those 2 games yesterday both had defenses that dominated the offenses. It shows why a dominant interior D lineman is key to a great defense. Chase is a game changing receiver. That kid is fantastic. He’s impossible to cover.

Greg that was from some spoof movie. They have sec and as soon as they were done shes like “I’m pregnant. It’s yours”

That was back in the day where I planned 8 show runs and ended up doing more lol. I’ve always liked doing creative tours like the 2019 6 show cali summer tour then doing 2 days in Yosemite then catching phil at terrapin crossroads then 2 deadco shoreline then winging it ending up in elko nevada seeing 4th of July fireworks then messing around in west Colorado before redrocks. The spring 2020 was going to be my greatest planned tour ever that never happened lol. Were planning on doing 11 or 12 of the 13, skipping 1-2 shows to give us 2 days in south beach and one in Nola. Instead covid hit. Then there was a “Hey”. “Bedroom?” 3 minutes later “I’m pregnant. It’s a boy. No more fun for us”. Now I just reminisce and pray that when I’m 65 and can get away for a few weeks the beta zeta iota strain isn’t cancelling tours again or if there are still tours in 15 years or will we just be wearing Meta glasses and existing in a 3D virtual reality. Bobby will definitely still be touring but playing at 50% tempo of current deadco to the delight of deadco fans who are like slow it down even more. It’s too fast. How can we sit when It’s so fast. Slow it down and hey no standing or dancing at shows. We can’t see!

That was a great show Sunny. It’s impossible to just list 1 show. I have many that hold fond memories. 2/14/15 Valentine’s Day in Newport KY was a special one. One of my fav pics of meili and waiting for an Uber sits on my coffee table. I have so many shows that are near and dear to my heart, it’s hard to pick one. My favs of all time were the ones that few showed up. Maybe it’s the intimacy of the small crowd. Great for us. Bad for the band. But dso always shows up no matter what crowd size. Maybe my favorite run was that Jerry band run down south a few years ago. Heck I love them all. I can’t forget jazz fest dso shows which introduced me to that amazing time!!!! The joy theater was empty b/c there is jusy too much going on down there. We liked it so much we haven’t missed one since even though this year won’t be in the cards.

Saw Bela fleck at cheapside in Lexington in maybe 1995-97. That place holds like 50 in the front room where they were playing. The stage is like 20 sq ft maybe lol.

I figured you caught an alligator when you were in college in the mid 60’s

We saw Led Zeppelin 2 with I forget which Floyd tribute at ascend amphitheater in Nashville. We were in a VIP box and people in the lawn were shouting for us to sit down. 2x I’ve been screamed at at that venue to sit down. Ignored both times even though van Morrison was tough as it was like 20 straight minutes with security called on me and people coming up and harassing me.

Yes. That was the year we had that huge area under the tree. That was a great setup. That was a really weird DJ thing.

I think everyone camped near the entrance year 1. Very few were in the field. We were like the 5th car and got a nice spot on the ridge in the shade. Unfortunately we weren’t prepared and had no tarp so we were stuck in the tent during the rain. It was a big contrast from when we set up tarp city in like 2016. We cordoned off a large area near the vip bridge along with tarp walls lol. The only issue was we couldn’t see anyone passing lol. Had this great shade tree and Gr8tfulpair pair and I got bad poison ivy there lol. It was an amazing spot that they turned into vip next year and we weren’t happy about it. There are some overhead pics from a few years where it’s easy to spot tarp city. We connected all the tarps to cover all tents and a hang out area. We had like 4 tents and our chair area completely covered with huge tarps.

Year 3 was perfect after year 1 and 2. 75 highs. 55 lows. It was weird because there was no late night party years 1 and 2. Year 3 it was a fun party all night. Year 1 was rain every night. Year 2 was crickets as everyone got in their sleeping bags to stay warm. I forget which year but some dude had a drum kit for a drum circle and he was really bad. Couldn’t keep a rhythm but overpowered everything. Jubilee is just like the world at large. There are plenty of idiots. That reminds me of the vip thievery year where dude was breaking into occupied tents stealing car keys then throwing them into the woods after he robbed their cars.

It looks like a prototype, not a production model. You need a small fan to keep those pants filled up with air vs wire mesh they are using which would likely rust from dancing sweat. Then you would have a very squeaky outfit as well as needing tetanus shots.

This will be the hot fashion at Deadco LA shows

Jake Jolivette went easy on the dead and phish that game. There was one game where he had 3 dead, 3 phish songs and finished it off with Tuesday’s gone on a rare tuesday game. my Cowboys were horrendous. 14 penalties. 3 of their 1st 5 drives were destroyed with penalties. 4 of their 1st 5 drives ended with 3rd and 13+ failures. You can’t win in nfl with 3rd and longs and not 3rd and 16’s. My favorite was a 3rd and 4 with 2 straight false starts leading to 3rd and 14. After all that they had a shot and a dropped 2nd and 11 then a 4th and 11 where the receiver slipped turning to catch it at the 20. FIRE MCCARTHY!!!

I’d take the raiders and the points if I was betting it. I actually took 49ers +3 against my boys. I’m either up 50 and sad my boys are out, down 55 and getting excited for the next game or Dallas wins a squeaker by 1 or 2 and I’m happy and up a bit of cash. I hope I lose some money lol.

I loved jubilee 1. The rain started Friday and Saturday nights right as we were walking back to the tents. Only night 3 was interrupted. I had this massive old army tent with poles on the outside that made it where we didn’t even know there was wind. It weighed like 60 pounds. We brought it the cold year 2 and it started falling apart at the seams from it getting rotted out from the year before. So many tents were blown away year 1 but we weren’t. That was going to be our jubilee tent forever as it was 7’ tall inside and could handle anything. But RIP old tent. You survived WWI and WWII but not hurricane jubilee. year 2 was the worst weather. You couldn’t get warm. I froze my ass off. It was so cold I couldn’t sleep. My all season sleeping bag wasn’t made for winter season.

There wasn’t a jubilee last year so it doesn’t count

I’ll add to my list janes addiction Nine inch nails tool (March ‘22 possibly) roger waters (August 2022 will see him)

I saw tool in 2002/3 in Nashville. Was an awesome show. Was on the GA floor but you had to stay 50 feet back or you were in a violent mosh pit. The 1st 30 feet led to blood. The next 15 was casual moshing. I stayed behind that lol.

I plan to go see Metallica the next time they come near. Saw them once in 1991 and want to take meili to a show. They are the biggest touring band in the world. Would be a completely different experience. When I was 19 saw them at SIU arena and was enhanced and had a blast. 2 set show proper.

Dso usually does a run culminating around 7/5. We’ve caught that 6-7 show run a bunch. It’s always a blast. Can’t beat the summer runs!!

Did she give you a Hall pass!!!
