    Safe travels!

    Just for fun, because who doesn't want to watch an octopus walking along carrying coconut shells?

    Gotta say with your recent Styx-ishness, I thought of you when seeing this.

    It's pretty lovely.

    (I want to feed this man, and well)

    A good reminder that everyone comes from somewhere, everyone has an interesting history, and everyone has hopes and dreams.

    Happy 4th for all the Americans.! And have a great 'normal' day to everyone else!! Hope everyone's day is spent with loved ones over great good and even greater company!
  • rr165892rr165892 Posts: 5,697
    Hedo,that was great.Thank you.Thats about 20 min north of where my youngest lives on Fl west coast.
    A great reminder of the talents and good within all,and I found myself wanting to know what this mans story is.At what point in a life with Classical piano training did he choose (?) The path his journey has takin him on.
    Oh and "Styx-ishness" is classic.Well done.

    I'm on way to the big 20th anniversary b-day bash for the Foos now.A little Joan Jett,Heart,Buddy Guy,Gary Clark Jr,LL Cool J and more.Should be a special day with this eclectic mix.
    Hope all have a safe and healthy 4th.

    Just came upon this, and Jack's happy-beyond-fuck face reminds me of Danny Carey's when playing with Peart.

    Great Foo concert last night in D-Sleaze.A lot good energy and smiles.Great Rock and Roll and Blues all day.
    OMFG Buddy Guy brought out a 16 year old Guitar prodigy.Kid is a SRV style clone.I will find out his name and post it.You have to hear this kid shred the blues.

    I met a fellow 10clubber his name is Brett.He had some sweet PJ ink.He was sitting in our section.
    I told him to come visit the fine folks in the lounge,we always have room for new friends.So shout out to Brett.

    I'm seeing Buddy Guy next weekend at the Vancouver Island Music Festival in Courtenay so really hope he brings along the guy you mentioned. And welcome Brett, if you check out the lounge.

    Growl IS THE MAN! Yet on Other Music board somebody has a thread saying DG Sucks. I beg to differ.....that 360 shot of that stadium looks familiar almost like RFK IN DC. I've probably seen 50 or more concerts there....a very nice old school stadium to see shows, if you sit in the stands you can jump up and down and they move with you. I should post that video over there.

    G,it is RFK and the stands are a trip.Yes they bounce like a Motherfucker.We were 3 rows up,prime viewing area and people were taking pics of the moving stands.
    Now the Metro after the show.........that's a whole different cluster fuck.

    Just got back from the Holocust museum.Very sobering.I thought I knew a lot about it.There was so much more to feel and see.Very well done.

    Very talented, rr! I love how some just...have it. Oh how I wish I did.

    And g, as to Grohl, I read through that thread. The hell?

    Have read many nice things about him (including from Cosmo, who I consider a trustworthy source) - seems like a decent, stand-up guy.

    Awesome rr, so I was right. Yes the Metro is a nightmare after big shows at RFK. Once after a Monsters of Rock show with Metallica opening for a horrible GnR we didn't get back to MD till 4:30 in the morning that was 1991 I think. So it's still chaos to leave there wow.

    So you really made a trip of it all from down here to my former home. Nice. Yes the Holocaust Museum is something else. A former client of mine was one of the original six to invest in getting that building built, his name along with the other five are all over that building. I took my daughter when she was much younger there several times and even at her age she was moved that people could be treated that way by another group of people just because of their history and ethnicity. I hope you were able to see all the other monuments around DC. I believe they're building a monument for MLK just across from The Monument on the Mall. So you must have seen the fireworks too, awesome.

    Hey get back down here safe.

    So I check the schedule of the festival I'm at (MusicFest) and yes, Quinn Sulllivan is playing tonight - the set just before Buddy Guy. Based on what you've said, I'm really stoked to see this.

    The highlight last night was David Gogo, a local blues guitarist who blew the roof off the venue he played in (The Barn, which is indeed an old barn). It was worth coming up here just for that, so the fact that we'll get more great music today is icing on the cake.

    Here's a link to David Gogo doing BB King's The Thrill is Gone; same line up as he had last night. Hope you enjoy.

    Hey friends, back from the Road Trip To Hell. Made it as far as southern Oregon and then car trouble. We had a few good days on the coast but that's about it. The best memory for this trip will be having a smoke and listening to Dinosaur Jr's "Ocean in the Way" through portable CD player headphones while watching waves crash on the rocks at Salt Point. One other good thing- Annie The Cat sure is glad to see us home.

    Hope you have had a good almost two weeks.

    Welcome back, B! Sorry for the car issues but that memory sounds lovely and, well...memorable :)

    Also nice to know that Annie isn't doing the "cat-punishing" thing upon your return. God knows our felines can turn surly!

    Yeah, at first Annie was like, "Fuck off, I don't know you anymore," haha, but after a few minutes it was all purring and weaving in and out of legs. :smile:
