I want to know what happened to the giants. I know the cowboys are good but the giants laid down on their back and let the cowboys have their way with them. I mean whispered in their ear do anything you choose.

I know Bama had a 2nd half lead but seriously, Texas played a complete game. Had game in control from the jump. They looked to be classed above Alabama. QB play wasn't even close but what really blew my mind is Texas control the trenches on both offense and defense. Ewers may be moving up the draft charts.

Bama just isn't Bama anymore.

Whitney and I taking kids up to Jackson hole this weekend. Gonna do 2 days in the Tetons and one day Yellowstone plus a final day do a float trip and some of Jackson hole fun things for kiddos. Can't wait.

Just did Niagara Falls before leaving area. I'm headed to bears picnic now.

The wings are fantastic. But I was referring to the last JK DSO show.

Just drove by the town ballroom. Getting wings at Gabriel's gate. If you don't know the significance of the town ballroom then you just don't know.

I love you brother. I know I'm not that guy for you or even really in the circle but if you need to chat give me a call. I know a little about life being a dumpster fire at times. Also pretty good at seeing the beauty in the pain and the light shining in the dark.

I don't know man. Sometimes child I can't tell you this too shall pass.

Took awhile for the plan to come together but we are in for summer jam through bears picnic. Gonna be fun. Kids will be with us at festivals and 2 of the shows with us. We are excited. Also getting a few finals days at the family beach house before we sell it. So extra special trip.

If it's the same guy that ran the ledges back in the day, ranting is kind of his thing. One year he went on and on about how his wife and her boy friend were living in his house.

We loved the area so much we going back with the kids Labor Day weekend.

Does anyone remember when DSO played Mishawaka and closed out the night with werewolves. We howled the entire shuttle ride back to the campgrounds.

This was one of those not to miss shows. I know you all know what I'm talking about. One you feel lucky to catch one it hurts a little to miss. Don't gets me wrong you can't live life worried about what you miss but even just looking at the list sometimes. I'm like damn Whitney we picked the wrong weekend to miss or we should've stayed for the Monday night show.

Night 2 was a monster show. DSO elective touch all eras some real phenomenal takes on some early stuff especially the alligator. I'll see if I can get the 2nd set posted tonight.

Gonna drive out into the Tetons tonight and park somewhere to stare at the stars.

They got good beef in Wyoming

That looks pretty tasty. Miss all of you and love each and every one of you. So many memories. So much learning. I know I do like every weekend but I had to miss these. Excited for Jackson hole. Hope to see some of you there. We can bring that old school community feel back. Brian isn't the only one that misses it but it's not gone. It still exist in a big way. It's in each and every one of us. We can choose to express it and live in it. I've always felt privileged and honored to be apart of what is a subset of the GD scene known as the dark star family. It's truly a community. love is real

There was a good group of like minded individuals at the jubilee this year. Black Mountain was definitely a special time. I miss the ledges the most. But good things come and good things go. Always more memories to make and more good times to come. Peak still has some of that old school like minded vibe.

I loved the song selection night 3 but every night had their moments. I especially loved the energy from the people I know night 1. Night 2 the energy dipped a little bit. I think night 3 was closer to night 1 but night 1 still had more of that jubilant energy. That's contagious make you want to shake your bones spirit. Needless to say these are just my perceptions and maybe my projections. Maybe my energy was lower. But you could feel people shedding some of that negative energy that builds up in every day life. The stress. The sadness. And embracing the joys of being alive and being loved. Night 1 definitely brought that magic for me. So many smiling faces twirling around.

At set break they loaded him up with uppers to get through the show. 2nd set much stronger than the first set.

I swear there was something after the playin reprise but I can't remember for the life of me. We had Koritz and Cotter both stop by to jam last night and there was so much more music played. it was really nice to have a babysitter I can count on. He took girls back to hotel so Whitney and I could stay over night. We often have to miss these post show gatherings of love light and joy.

So I need to mention that oh darling is played out. That seems to be in the overplayed if we just did it once in awhile songs it would be better. Should mean something to catch an oh darling.

Watch tower To lay me down Eyes of the world Playing reprise oh darling werewolves of london I still think I'm missing something but there is more of it.

Saw lots of forum folks at this show. They must've raged all night could usually someone would post.
