Thankfully both weddings i have this year are in the fall.

A lot of folks in these parts rag on 2006 Last Stops. And while I agree, its probably the weakest year for it...shut the hell up, ITS THE LAST FUCKING STOP!

Just like people bitching that Captain didn't have that brief reprise last summer...cool it the fuck down, they are playing god damn Captain you sons of bitches

Or when JTR was "opening up ALL the time"...SHUT UP! DMB IS PLAYING JTR, ASSHOLES! Who gives a fuck if it opens every show of the tour

Things i have skipped for DMB shows:

1. Traditional Family xmas celebration for 12.22.03 (family gathering was the day before, i went up that day) - rewarded with a once in a lifetime show

2. Final presentation for capstone course of business school at ball state on final day of college for 7.25.05 - rewarded with YNK and #34 and still got an A in the class

3. Walking in my college graduation ceremony 2 days later - rewarded with SayBye, BOWA, & WYA (borrowed a cap & gown and took pictures in front of beneficence as if i was there )


however, I have missed some historical shows because of a wedding....MY OWN WEDDING!!!!! Red Rocks '05 9/9-12/05....wedding was on 9/9/05....have regretted not going straight to colorado ever since, because I'm pretty sure that 9.11.05 would be considered my all time favorite show had i been in attendance

9/11/05 was epic.

I knew that no one from my core group of friends was going to be there

as for everyone else...i didn't talk to them then, why would i talk to them now?

it would be a night full of awkward small talk...unless i got wasted...but then i would just be the wasted guy....not that I'm afraid of that...just not in the scenario

from what I heard it was REALLY lame anyway....they were going to charge for tickets...but no one bought the tickets, so i'm pretty sure like 15 ppl that all still live in the town our high school was in got together at someones house and played cornhole

and i could not begin to describe to you how lame it is to still live in that town


everytime I go back, there are certain eateries i like to make sure to visit...local type places
and it never fails, i am always amused to see people I went to high school with, still working their high school jobs...cooking at pizza king...taking orders at just rite.....el oh el

sorry if i offend anyone with that....but if you delivered pizzas in high school and are now 30 years old, and still deliver pizzas as your full time job, then you probably deserve to get called out for it
(i guess, i realize it has been a tough job market for a few years, so at least these people are working....but I am more referring to the people that i know FOR SURE have never worked anywhere else and likely never attempted to work anywhere else....chained to the small indiana town for the rest of their lives)

i never once considered living in my home town post college...not once

I did, had a blast. Reconnected with some old friends. Even started hanging out again with a few. My wife did not want to go. But I dragged her and she had a blast.

Pig opener

badass LIOG
midset WYA
impromptu Halloween that was 5 days short of being a liberation....totally random, the way you used to have to get Halloween before it became the new Ants marching...

I had to for a like a month and a half before i moved to Los Angeles (college lease was up in may, wasn't moving til end of June). Sucked ass. Ft. Wayne, the city where nobody fucking leaves and thinks its Chicago or something.

My grandma and grandpa still ask when I'm gonna move back, my answer HELL NO

$75 better include greens fees + cart, open bar, and a BJ from the senior prom queen (well, another one anyway....heyohhh)

N2 i believe. Haven't listened to that show in a while. So i could be wrong. One of them is way better than the other though.

Ft. Wayne is like Las Vegas compared to where I'm from....town the high school is in is poplulation 6,500...only about 18,000 in the entire COUNTY

high school enrollment less than 800

and if you had to sign up for random drug testing in school to be abel to participate in extra curricular activities, you have my high school to thank for that

Aaron,

Phil said that he and mark had the first glasses last night. lots of head, smelled the magic for 5-10 minutes before diving in. he says that it edges out Hopslam for him.....

[btpeters]

Michael, that N1 Can't Stop is pretty awful. It sounds like it needs to be taken out behind the shed with rifle in hand. Man, this song has surprisingly come a very long way.

Giant key chain, mouse pad or maybe coasters.

Hopslam for me is probably near the middle of my top 10 for Double IPA's....i know most people really get off on the massive hops and the touch of honey, but for me it's the touch of honey that pushes it down towards the middle of my top 10. Makes it a little sweet, and I prefer my DIPA's to be more on the bitter side. Oracle sounds like it's right up my alley.

[myersk27]

i went to my 10 year reunion, and i'm really not sure why. this year is 15 although i don't think there is anything planned. i won't go to anymore....

[btpeters]

Was feeling adventurous and I bought a six pack of Hop Bomber this past weekend. Wasn't bad, but still kinda disappointing. Too much malt, not enough hop and the damn thing was called HOP BOMBER.

[btpeters]

Do not remember Say Goodbye being on this release...SWEET

[rlpi100]

I picked up a 6 pack of Bear Republic's Red Rocket Ale this past weekend. I wasnt a big fan of it
