    You and the others who went so far to actually visit the school website and find class schedules could be the biggest losers I have ever seen on this bored. Get a fucking life.

    The lecture happened. You can look it up for yourself. No need to be a dick to this person.

    Somebody already had. Look a few posts up.
    In any case, it's right there on a public website. He was very gracious about it.
    He even chuckled when I mentioned the message board debacle.


    You actually called him?

    Yup. I felt curious and it took a full two minutes out of my lunch hour at work.

    Thanks...its always the people who are clueless that say things such as
    "I highly.........highly......... ...highly doubt that Bonoroo (sp?) has already started booking bands for next may shit they are probably still cleaning up from last may" :)

    Sorry to post negative stuff like that. If Jeff showed up to speak in my lecture, I would be one happy dude!

    Congrats on experiencing this!

    No need. I wouldn't dare ignore anyone on here. Comments from douchebags is about 50% of the reason I post and read the porch. If it wasn't for people like choke this would be pretty boring. Or is it boaring?

    Here's the deal... I WANT to believe you, but the fact is that EVERYTHING you mentioned has already been talked about.

    In a classroom full of students worthy enough of a lecture from Jeff, SURELY someone if not everyone took pictures or audio recordings of this.

    If not then you will continue to be doubted.

    But at the same time there are some people in here that are awfully quick to assume it really happened.
    I believe him fully, its not like Jeff expects these kids to know all his stories he's ever told. how do u know someone didn't take pictures? and something tells me kids, even tho most students have laptops at classes, they don't take recording equipment to their classes
    My god its been so long, never dreamed we'd return.

    That's cool! They had this class when I was at the U. I didn't have time to take it,but I always wondered if they were going to get Jeff in to talk.

    I know it might be hard to comprehend, but there is a slight *SLIGHT* possiblity that there were students in the class who could've cared less that Jeff was giving a lecture. As strange as it is, not everyone considers every move made by the guys in the band to be the new Stations of the Cross.

    Thus, probably no 'audio.'

    Awesome... I read an interview some years back about Neil and he was in LA cruising record shops and he found some bootleg vinyls. He picked them up and took them to counter and said something to the effect of "These are mine. And if your manager has a problem with me taking them, he can call me" and then he handed the guy a card.

    Anyway, there was some really good info relayed in this and I really appreciate you taking the time to post it.
