haha, awesome. I'll have to check it out.

Radiohead is one band that I could never get into. Always felt like I should like them, but I think they suck. I went through a similar phase with DMB in college. Everyone loved them and I never got it. They suck too

i think radiohead is a band for music snobs. 'look at me i'm cool because i like radiohead and they do these weird new things' - bleh not for me

dmb - some of their early stuff was pretty good but not so much now. saw them a few times live and even though i think they have some talented musicians show just wasn't for me. too much fluff - every other song is like the Evenflow solo. just move on you know. although if PJ ends up playing with them in AC i'll be there. Saw a thing on NBC10.com today about dmb in AC. looks like it is going to happen.

one thing about spring training that sucks, is when you look to be this good with such great starters you just want the season to start, only bad things can happen in the spring for us now.

I will be really pissed if dmb is playing with PJ this summer. dave matthews has the most annoying voice since sting in roxanne...or the chick from the cranberries

and you're absolutely right about the spring training stuff. just get to april 1st

well you are a nova fan and nova fans are well ....

it was on the Porch a few weeks ago. apparantly McCready was hanging out with Stefan Lessard from DMB at the Sundance Film Festival and went on twitter asking their fans if they would like to see them play with Pearl Jam or Phish. Apparantly the rumor was PJ in AC. DMB is playing 4 festivals instead of touring and one is in AC at the old airport grounds. Apparantly NBC10 said their management was there checking the site out and it looks to be late June. Didn't say anything about PJ opening for them there but that was the original rumor a month or so ago. although i'm not sure June is do-able for PJ? who knows

Fixer - vegas sports book - agree on the sports books. not enough seats if you are there anytime that is a peak time. and most still have shitty large screen tvs that you can barely see. and way too much horse racing. i know those degenerates bet a lot of it and i enjoy horse racing but just way too much of it in those books. if AC gets sports gambling it will be even worse with the crowds.

If PJ and DMB play in AC together I'm going to shoot myself in the head. What with all the frat douches in attendance - there's enough of them at a regular PJ show alone.

Thom Yorke's solo album I think is by far better than anything the band has done.

I love March - Erin Express, glimmers of good weather, going down AC for the A-10 tourney, the tourney, watching the Phils playing in 80 degree weather, always the chance of Clearwater trips of going from shitty weather in the morning to drinking at bar on the beach by the afternoon. Big fan of March - mostly because nothing can get as low as February. What a terrible month.

Fixer, I'm not a huge stout or porter fan, but Flying Dog's Gonzo Imperial Porter is a damn good beer. And I'm not gonna lie - I'm a huge Steadman and Hunter Thompson fan. Sly Fox's O'Reilly(?) Stout is good as well.

all have to check out that sly fox. I'm hitting maryland bars this weekend, so I'll probably get stuck drinking natty boh's. what a shit beer that is.

Erin Express...ah, the good old days

I definitely can't get into the A-10 tourney. St Bonnaventure vs Duquesne...YES!!!

A-10's a surprisingly good time in AC. Cheap tickets, cheap beers. We hit the Irish Pub first, then the tourney, then the poker tables.

I know Flying Dog is made in MD, so they may have it in excess, who knows...

And I don't care what anyone says - Vegas sports books are glorious.

i enjoy them but i think they could be so much better. the seating is absolutely lousy especially for the NFL or any big event. i'm too old to stand for 8-10 hours like i did the 1st year i went out there for march madness. and i don't want to have to sit there for like 4 hours before an event to get a seat. that being said i fucking love vegas and would there tonight if i could.

oh way too much good and nice talk in here today. i'll need to piss you guys off next week. i'll have to come up with something this weekend for that

totally agree with everything here. especiall your last paragraph.

the sportsbooks practically have lawn furniture for you to sit in (and nowhere near enough seats). weak as shit

I'll be there in May - cannot fucking wait. Friday to Monday at The Mirage(5/13-16). Already got a couple strippers lined up for the room Friday night, followed by mimosas and machine guns on Saturday morning(the bachelor wants to shoot machine guns. And honestly, who doesn't?). And somewhere between Friday and Monday I will be putting ridiculous bets in on horses, hockey, and baseball, playing poker, blackjack, craps & roulette, and any time the sun is up I'll be by the pool drinking $25 daiquiri's, going to the Spearmint Rhino at night, drinking obscene amounts of alcohol with just as much amounts of "illicit materials" to boot. This not being single thing all of a sudden may be a challenge...

I don't know if you been the Grand or Mirage's new sports books since they opened up. They're the only ones to ever go to . They are gigantic with huge leather chairs to splay yourself in.

haha, not being single? uh oh. don't worry, out of state happenings don't count on your record

We didn't hit either of those. Stayed at caesar's because we were told their sportsbook is biggest and nicest, which coudln't have ben further from the truth. Ended up at planet hollywood some, which wasn't anything special either. Then we gave up and just went to bars/blackjack tables.

you gotta hit up o'shea's. it is a dump, but the tables are cheap. And they have beer pong.

LOVE O'Shea's. I like to think of myself as a well greased vet of the Strip. Oshea's is great - they blast classic rock, are connected to a Wendy's, and like ya said, have beer pong in the back. Plus, Bill's next door is a winner as well. And going to the Imperial Palace to their blackjack table where all the dealers are impersonators? Forget about it. Just amazing.

Yeah, dude, this is a girl I actually care about. Very strange.

that's cool...I was fucking around. Just don't let this slow you down while you're out there. I expect details (like costanza told jerry when he said he was getting too old for details).

Alright bitches...the wife should be here soon so it's just about boozetime. have fun tonight with whatever you get in to.
