    say hi to all the Rex peeps! The reception at the Warfield on Friday, to say nothing of the show (yes, I must spend more time listening to the CRB, I think. And John K with Melvin and the girls was to die for...), were very sweet. (http://www.rexfoundation.org/events/high-steppin-into-town/_

    Is getting me paranoid. Phil was signing directly at me during 1/2 Step. The first man takes the sails; the third the planks and rails. Yeah, you know I'm talking about. That poor guy is really out there. Anyway...... Chicago Bound! Anyone going to Greensky/Keller/Stringdusters?

    Always best to pull the bill on your tinfoil hat a bit down, to cover the glare on the morning sun... Heading eastward into the sunrise can be a bitch... What? You're all sleeping in the back and it doesn't matter? Something about tears and Brokedown Palace and staying up half the night? rjjrjjrrr turned the wheel over to Sgt Puppers, he is a bit directionally challenged, but does pretty good, considering he doesn't have that opposable thumb thing going on... Never fear, ba dus knows it's way to Chitown, all you gotta do is climb a mountain, coast down, go that way, climb another one, coast down, and you're on the fruited plane with amber waves of grain on one side and purple mountains in the back. Watch out for that tree, Puppers, and no, you can't stop the bus and "claim" it as your territory....plenty of time for that in Chitown. What? Someone ate all the oreos AND drank all the milk? Dang. Musta been a powerful set of munchies. Well, we done shared all of mine...so how 'bout you sir, or you ma'am...got any oreos? GOT MILK?

OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus. It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this: "MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"

Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son. grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?

Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails... I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that. I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry. My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;) "And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to" - Shovels and Rope Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows! Am I right?

Cuz the vandals took the handles. When will we learn this never works. Just sucks and riding out the rage. This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far. All that gone. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name

Bro, I hear you... From Ferguson to Baltimore, protesting is one's 1st amendment right; but looting and destruction of property are crimes. Extremely sad societal statement. Don't blame your great city - the issue is much, much larger.

Guess us Nor'easter's adapt to it...we have all 4 seasons, past 2 winters proved to be a harsh mistress, but Spring, Summer and Fall in the Buff and Rachacha are the cats ass..... Assuming Toronto weather is similar, eh? Nanuk??

Yo Boo, cool cat dude !! And bro, I grew-up in Philly. You can keep your "four seasons" and frozen tundra, and mountains and mountains of snow. I paid my dues. Kinda like it where the weather suits my clothes :-) (although we're gonna get slammed in about 15 minutes with a big ass storm...lol) Later !!

That is one of my boys, Black Bart, he's a Bombay and he likes to greet me when I arrive at home, that is him with front paws up on my thigh, he is quite a character. It isn't the 4 seasons that are so nice, but living through a winter up here makes you really appreciate the nice weather, and when it is nice here, it is fine! and a little snow doesn't bring down the house......

Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum. Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast. We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-) Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment.... If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down... And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.

I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following: 1) Remove picture from profile. 2) Do not add new picture. 3) Close your computer down. 4) Click your heels three times. 5) Turn your computer on again. 6) Wait 48 hours. 7) Add profile picture. It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place. Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway. Disclaimer: Void where prohibited, not valid in states with snow, results may differ, and objects in mirror may be closer than you think...allow 46 weeks for delivery. all the best....and good luck geo

Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos. Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless! Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
