    Back from Italy. Here's a shot from Sulmona, Abruzzo. Also I helped make arrosticini at my cousin's house, the signature food of Abruzzo. Except in Giulianova it's called "rustell" - nothing is easy speaking Italian. Anyway, it's the best fucking thing I've ever eaten.



    Incredible. I have two close friends in Italy as we speak and another going in a couple weeks. Major FOMO. Planning on taking the family to Europe in the Spring, my daughter's first time. Still need to figure out where the hell to go, ideally somewhere we haven't been, but pretty excited to get back. Haven't since my daughter was born in 2018
    We also stayed in Siena. We were practically crying when we left. It was just incredible. Perfect for doing stuff all day or as a base for day trips. Phenomenal restaurants everywhere. When I've stayed in Florence, by the end I felt like I was getting out of Dodge.

    FYI you can watch the Palio at 1:30 eastern time today. Postponed from yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmwObLAh2tc
    Dude, Siena is my absolute favorite. Such a great town. Big enough for things to do in town, not overwhelming like Florence (agreed on getting out of dodge), easy to do things around Tuscany. I need to get back. Had one of my favorite dinners ever in Siena,

    All our dinners were extraordinary in Siena. And everywhere else too.

    I’m guessing it’s just a matter of the physical toll it takes on your body to be playing hard rock songs at that age.

    Only drummer i've seen with PJ. first show in 1998, 39 total shows.   Just makes you wonder the future of the band.

    All the Dave A folks will go nuts.

    Agree Wheeler should start, but pitching invitations,not to mention starts, are mysteries in ASGs.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Yeah, let's HOPE it's on his terms.

    Pretty sure he's been talking the last few years that he was over the 3+ hour shows.

    Here's to a Jack reunion every once in a while.

    Saw video at end of last Pittsburgh show where they all hug him so they clearly knew he was out after that. Will be interesting what they do in the future.

    I saw the video too and I agree that they knew, and he probably told the rest of the band his intentions to hang it up with PJ.

    Yes, it will be interesting what they will do. 

    How long do we think it will be until the band announces what they plan to do?

    With this band I imagine they go into the studio with a drummer and never announce it until a record is ready to come out. They are usually pretty secretive.  I also think it's real possibility they just use a 'touring' drummer and don't really add a new member.  After Pittsburgh I figured the earliest they'd do shows would be spring 2027 so I don't expect any news anytime in the near future.

    yeah tough to say what the future holds for the band now. I'm sure they will continue to tour and make music. probably take a year off?
