    just wanted to say that my wife and i did Milan, Trieste, and Vienna last month and i highly recommend europe/ seeing pj in europe. The shows were amazing because the crowd really made the band ENJOY themselves immensely. Since they get fewer shows, the setlists are amazing ( i know many people followed from the states and were blown away) in the 10 days we were there we saw our 3 best pj shows yet, got lost (wonderful) in vienna, kayaked on the adriatic sea, met a married couple adrijanna (croatian) and tomasso (italian) who were amazing and very fast friends, we hiked high into the Dolomite mountains and stayed at a super nice and friendly ski lodge, we toured vienna, we ate amazing food the whole time, and we finished in the austrian alps with a daring 7 peak knife-edge kletterstieg traverse of the Nordkette range."And I know she meets my love... In Thin Air
    Amazing. Cancel your cable and internet. Dont eat out. Ever. Drive less. Dont buy things you dont need. Then use that money to make the best memories of your lifetime!
    Dont wait

    May I suggest the warm and cool delights of Sake Bombs to those in need of a fun respite from the day.I prefer to drop the hot sake shot into a Lucky Buddha beer.Very smoothe.

    didnt have any beer, but the wine was pretty damn good! We packed 20 days worth of activity into 10 days so we had neither the time nor the energy for the getting of buzz... Also we were fighting to stay hydrated and really we were buzzed up pretty good from the excitement and of Europe, mountains, and MFPJ!!

    I wish I liked beer! An ice-cold bottle with that condensation...looks so refreshing, but nope. Can't stand the taste (plus I don't like carbonation).

    Sake though, bring it on! I fondly look back on the days when my buddy at work and I would go for a sushi lunch with plenty of sake. I don't know how productive those afternoons were at work but sure were fun.

    I like this car. Little time outs from some of the other cars. Great idea. Just about to go on a short vacation soon. A little decompression, some sunsets, late night fires, and moonlit lakes. Can't wait.

    Agreed (and a bit envious of Walking's escape!). We all need a respite.

    Maybe due to the shitstorm(s) or just how I am, I've been feeling nostalgic. This video of Puscifer, with Maynard's boy on the cello (dude kicks nice butt), is sweet, resonant and mindful. Not as weepy as I was feeling earlier :)

    Powerful voice and words (as usual).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCKykBihwoQ

    Nature, nurture heaven and home
    Sum of all, and by them, driven
    To conquer every mountain shown
    But I've never crossed the river

    Braved the forests, braved the stone
    Braved the icy winds and fire
    Braved and beat them on my own
    Yet I'm helpless by the river

    Angel, angel, what have I done?
    I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
    I've conquered country, crown, and throne
    Why can't I cross this river?

    Pay no mind to the battles you've won
    It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
    Open your heart and hands, my son
    Or you'll never make it over the river

    It'll take a lot more than words and guns
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle
    The hands of the many must join as one
    And together we'll cross the river
