[Eyeball Jackson]

The Warfield is tempting. At the very least, the wife and I will hit both SoCal shows

U said u may c Huk?

i think I hung with u @ red rock show. 

i was looking for a place to sit and u invited me to sit with u 

If ur married to a chemist and have two boys , then ur that person

Huk’s a great high energy dancer , who said to me after the first song “ok, that’s it. Do We need more?” .  If ur that person , thank u for welcoming me. I had the greatest time because of ur invitation.  Thanks again, and I hope ur winter brings u balance. 

 

 

Right on,,well I guess we met at Red Rocks then? If so, I will remember your face next time I see you. I'm not always good with names but I typically won't forget a face......red rocks was epic!

[PoetryGirl]

What are the chances? 1/9500?? lol 

[GratefulDevil]

I live in the Northeast, never seen a west coast show. Only east coast and midwest. I heard Warfield is a do not miss venue. What others are best places if I try to hit a weekor at least a few days of this tour.

[LIkeEveryOne]

I tell people that story whenever someone mentions RR.

 

About how I spent an hour looking  for the perfect place and found it. It was smack in the middle at row 25, PERFECT !  BUT by the time I found it, there were no open seats, they were all taken.  But some women behind me must have seen me searching and says  “ hey u can join us” .. I was like yes!  SCORE!!

I started talking to the guy with her and he says “ I think I know u” .  I say “nope!”  He says “were u at the NYE show in Philly?”  I say “ yup, but I don’t remember u”. He says “ok”. We talk a bit more.  The music starts, he starts to dance, I point at him and I say  “I do know u, ur a chemist, ur Joe !” 

 

I travel 1500 miles and gravitated to a spot among 10000 people to hang  with the same people  I danced with on NYE.  RR magic at work.   Thanks DSO

[Greg from Chestertown]

There are always lots of official and unofficial chemists at dead shows. That was right where we were dancing. No clue joe the chemist was really close to me. On a chemistry note, at the covington Dso show on Valentine’s Day 2015 there was a guy in front of us that also looked like a chemist. Well he had the molecular structure of LSD tattooed on his face, so I assume he was a chemistry professor. He must have taken pride in his PHD work at Cincinnati and gotten the tattoo to reflect that pride. It took up most of the right side of his face. I asked him what his LinkedIn profile was listed as and he said huh. I guess he didn’t want to talk about his job before a show. I don’t like to talk about work either.

He was the department chair. 

 

Is it bad if this appears on your wrist and you've never had a tattoo in your life?

 

 

So strange

[Rude]

That’s what happens when someone sprays you at a show. It’s like invisible ink at 1st

[PoetryGirl]

The stigmata!!

Paradise is in 🔥 flames! On the crest of a wave of the Camp Fire.  The whole town they say has burned. 27k evacuated. It was burning the equivalent of 25 football fields per minute!

[Rude]

Wow

 

"Pretty much the community of Paradise is destroyed, it's that kind of devastation," said Cal Fire Capt. Scott McLean late Thursday. "The wind that was predicted came and just wiped it out."

 

holy fuck

Conway lives in paradise, btw. Was such a cute little town.  

[chuckvegas]

This is an interesting article that shows the capricious nature of wildfires.

The Taco Bell and Paradise Performing Arts Center are still standing.

[PoetryGirl]

It reads like the randomness of a tornado!

[Island Bro]

So sad for all the tragic losses in Paradise due to the fire. Will be interesting to see how DSO alters their schedule in February when they were planning to play there...I like the Ashland double header idea.......

[Rude]

Besides the 30+ people who died another sad thing was reading about all the wildlife and pets who died stranded and burned. Many people weren’t home and weren’t allowed back to their homes to get their animals and were posting their address for people to kick in their doors to get their pets out. Unlike the humans the pets locked in had no chance at survival. Saw a guy talk about his 5 horses burned alive in his barn as well as his dogs he couldn’t get to. By the time people were even alerted to the fire it was already upon them. So many burned alive in their cars fleeing. Nightmare scenario. Was told the performing arts center was still standing which was surprising considering everything around it was burned. I wouldn’t doubt a benefit concert by Dso on winter tour is upcoming. 

[Island Bro]

Yeah I had the thought of a benefit show as well...

 

Hard to fathom this nightmare fire

[Rude]

56 now confirmed dead from the Camp Fire. There’s a scathing la times article today about how the city of paradise didn’t want to create gridlock and didn’t alert everyone at Once. And they could have used the emergency alert system on everyone’s phone but they used a voluntary signup alert system with only 25% of town signed up and still many of those weren’t even alerted to the fire until they were on fire. The other issue is their code red system can only contact so many people at once even if there was 100% signup so it may take 30 minutes to even alert everyone in town. This story just gets sadder by the day, knowing that some of these lives could have been saved by better decision making.  

[PoetryGirl]

No changes around Paradise, CA date. Wondering of this is just waiting to see what the fallout  is, or if it is still a go. It looks pretty bleak for rolling out the hospitality on the news in 2 months. 

[Tom Banjo]

It looks like Durham and the Warfield are a go. We will be bringing the baby girl. 

[Island Bro]

2 weeks

 

ahhhhhh

 

it wont be long now....

[PoetryGirl]

 

Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming.

[Tom Banjo]

Rude I heard a really heart warming pet story. A family home had burned and they of course were forced to evacuate. When they returned. Their dog was waiting for them in the remains of the home. Alive. 

It had been like a week later.
