    much too fat and a little too long!
    I signed up for an in-stock reminder on the 2XL hoodie. I am not a f'n 2XL !! The shreds of vanity I cling to cost me a too tight SD'ers ladies cut. As painful as it might be, I'm on the large-marge waiting list. (Ah, to recall my slender days when I tossed back a gleaming mahogany mane, instead of being comfy fat & silvered :-))

    friday afternoon and
    I'm still at the mines for a little longer. Friday afternoons in the summer are very casual here in this office...so I'm streaming Ventura County Fairgrounds 7/18/82. apparently I was there but that was a long time ago and I needed a reminder...I'm half way through and it's a good show. not great yet, but good. of course, I'm in a sterile office listening to it on a tinny laptop speaker, and not standing on the beach of the Pacific Ocean jammin with 8 or 10,000 like-minded smilin fans, enjoying our favorite band. Never forget those feelins.Phish is in DFW this week, maybe I'll catch them. Trey got me hooked I think. Tony...too bad about the QC at FTW merchandising. really sucks when you're anticipating something like that and it comes in wrong. I'm sure they'll make it right tho. have a great weekend all.

    Dueling song-fest....
    What in the name of SD-ville is going on here?? I'm a thinking Rich & Holly need their own dueling song blog :-) TGIF all... BTW, really disappointed now on two faretheewellmerch.com purchases. The mens XL sizing is more like L and the ladies purple tank top at a whopping $64.99 arrived today with a sideways logo. Pretty lame QC happing at the merch shop gang....right back to the returns it goes.

    @ have one for me
    Still here in the mines for a while...they gave us some frozen treats to beat the heat. Have a good weekend. Next week I get to serve my civic duty in the Jury pool. Thanks in advance for the care package. Sometimes I lead, sometimes I follow This time I'll go where she wants me to go She said maybe today, maybe tomorrow Deep in the woods down the low valley road While no one was lookin' on the old plantation He took her all the way down the long valley road They sent her away not too much later And left him walking down the old valley road Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on alone, alone Out in the hall, they were talking in a whisper Everybody noticed she was gone awhile Somebody said she's gone to her sister's Everybody knew what they were talking about Whoa, while no one was lookin' on the old plantation He showed her what they do down the long valley road She came back around like nothing really happened And left him standing on the old valley road Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on, walk on, on the valley road Standing like a stone on the old plantation The rich old man would have never let him in Good enough to hire, not good enough to marry When it all happens, nobody wins Walk on Walk on, walk on alone Walk on, walk on Walk on, walk on alone, alone

    Oh hell yes! Soundtrack of my life part 1 for sure. I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, It's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, No you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show But the pain still grows It's no stranger to you and me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord.

    Marillion began as a prog band in the spirit of Peter Gabriel and Genesis... Had 4 very good releases and ....lead singer swam upstream.... love me some Genesis..... I'm counting out time, Got the whole thing down by numbers. All those numbers! Give my guidance! O Lord I need that now. The day of judgement's come, And you can bet that I've been resting, for this testing, Digesting every word the experts say. Erogenous zones I love you. Without you, what would a poor boy do? Found a girl I wanted to date, Thought I'd better get it straight. Went to buy a book before it's too late. Don't leave nothing to fate. And I have studied every line, every page in the book, And now I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look. This is Rael! I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it, 'cos I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9. -still counting out time, got my finger on the button, "Don't say nuttin-just lie there still And I'll get you turned on just fine." Erongenous zones I love you. Without you, what would a poor boy do? Touch and go with 1-6. Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. Gotta remember all of my tricks. There's heaven ahead in No. 11! Getting crucial responses with dialation of the pupils. "Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip. Whipee!" -Move over Casanova- I'm counting out time, reaction none to happy, Please don't slap me, I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail. I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my mistress, I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away. Erongenous zones I question you- Without you, what would a poor boy do? Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.

    @ Fish Freaks
    Never heard of em'. Watching Live from Loreley 1987. Good stuff indeed. And they say deadheads are freaks...what's up with the face paint? [Chorus] The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night The freaks come out at night (the freaks come out) The freaks come out at night Discos don't open till after dark And it ain't till twelve till the party really starts And I always had to be home by ten Right before the fun was about to begin Crowds of people lined up inside and out Just one reason, to rock the house But in the day time the streets was clear You couldn't find a good freak anywhere, 'cause [Chorus] Now when freaks get dressed to go out at night They like to wear leather jackets, chains and spikes They wear rips and zippers all in their shirts Real tight pants and fresh mini skirts All kinds of colors runnin' through their hair And you could just about find a freak anywhere But then again, you could know someone all their life But might not know they're a freak unless you see them at night, 'cause [Chorus] Now the party's jumpin', the place is packed And when the crowd's like this, I'm ready to rap But before I could bust a rhyme on the mic Freaks are all over me like white on rice Freaks come in all shapes, sizes and colors But what I like about 'em most is that they're real good lovers They do it in the park, they do it in the dark But most freaks are known for breakin' hearts You could never tell what a freak was thinkin' of And you may never catch a freak without at least one glove And they don't walk, when they step, they strut And nine times out of ten they drive you nuts But take my advice, you don't stand a chance Freaks are so bad they got their own dance So if you wanna live a nice quiet life Do yourself a favor, don't come out at night, 'cause [Chorus] Hut one, hut two Hut hut hut [Chorus]

GM I'm not trying for SC tickets as all my eggs are in the Chicago basket but I waited almost 3 months for my answer...happiness to have gotten a response from Elvis that my email had been sent and I didn't get it so yes indeed I'm in. So comparatively 5 days seems great. Good luck and a beautiful day to all.

and the sweet memory of singing harmony to Bob Marley songs with the strolling guitar player at the (nearly deserted) Wyndham Rosehall restaurant. The smile on his face when he realized I knew every word to Redemption Song was like a sunrise. ...we sang every song that driver knew. Back to the salt mines. I can pick & shovel, too.

You should not be fretting ever about not having half and half for your Blue Mountain (or your Kona for that matter). You should be sad that it was likely drip...you want to see what it brings out? Use a vac-pot (syphon) or pour-over...or better yet, an espresso made by an experienced barista...THEN you will never want anything else but Blue Mountain and Reggae I don't leave home without proper coffee gear...that is a must to start any day!

GD 50th update: We are now answering emails for anyone who is still in "limbo". We do not have seat locations at this time. The Fabulous Envelope Art contest winners have selected and notified! It was a difficult task, choosing the finalists, as each and every envelope is an incredible piece of art, many being museum worthy. http://www.gdtstoo.com/GDTSTOOupdate.html

Mine was a picture of a cow eating grass... "Where's the Grass?" you ask.. "Cow ate it all" I say.. "Where's the cow?" you ask... "He left, no sense hanging around..." Apparently, the GDTStoo folks thought it looked too much like Rgrgrgr's Polar bear/snowstorm envelope. got my pink slip early on...only it was white too. Thank you for your attention. We now return you to your regular scheduled forum posts.

Lots of posts on the big board of peoples CC's being charged for their SC tickets. Any SD'ers have any luck? My ability to get tickets continues to be a whopping 0 %. And I'm not even going to SC - they'll be miracled to any SD'er or head who wants them @ face.

I did not attempt to get tickets to SC because I didn't think I could afford the time away and the $ for going to SC AND FTW, despite my lovely wife's encouragement to go for it (last run and all)...I am now having serious not-a-buyer's remorse for passing on the SC lotto. I still may try to figure out a way to get to SC but need to continue to ruminate on that for a while. so, if anything is still available after my rumination period, I'll just havta look around.
