@ t3po – your avatar is strangely similar to Bouncin’ Fans’ at first glance.
just the Greeks, @Marshall – which is plenty for me, I’m psyched
summer is busy season at work, big blocks of shows are out of the question
silly you forgot the goldbond
I hope we’re posting “no spoilers”… (preferably later that night)… yeah, I know… but still 24… (I mean 48 hours to go)
waiting for stupid windows to finish cancelling borked print jobs before I can shut down laptop and leave…le sigh…fuck you Bill Gates and your horrible monstrosity
ah there we go
laters y’all
@fat bastard
good call.
very good call.
Usually in June im not thinking of the ol’ goldbond, but in August, you gotta have it.
Those of you heading South in July better be packin’.
@auntie em
yeah, until you realize C3PO is MELTIN’ FUCKIN’ FACES OFF!!! That dude rips, even if he’s more of a composed, prog-style player. not much improvisational ability, but he never misses a note. and he’s fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. which is nice.
3 hopes for TP…
Sand
STFTFP
The Mango Song
3 hopes for Cleveland…
getting there
finding BTBash

Enjoy the shows Silly. remember to stay on your feet, or stay away from AW. Either or.
Any new fall tour rumors? I’ve been outta the loop for about two weeks now.
NTM- ACL- Vegas, Indio i’ve heard
ACL is confirmed, duh
@Mr. P
llfa.
i survived last saturday with AW.
the trick is not worrying about keeping up with him.
Evening guys…
@auntie em…timer said today he heard the west coast will get some love in the fall
Thirding the PDX fall rumor. I have an ok source. Posterkid read the Timers posts.
Was eyeing up that green gold bond in walgreens earlier with a little fear.
Mr C – the missions clear. Wish I could take in the Greeks with y’all.
@fee4zy: I’m a huge Zappa plays Zappa fan. Glad to see the love. He is totally doing his father proud.
Anyone here of the Carolina Chocolate Drops? They are pretty good.
Mr C they are playing in your neck of the woods: Jul 7 Oregon Zoo Amphitheater in Portland, OR
Here is a snippet from their site:
The Carolina Chocolate Drops are the newest and youngest players in a long lineage of Black String Bands. The tradition traces its roots to musicians from Africa who came to the Americas in the holds of slave ships. The anchor instruments were made of gourds with a neck and a variety of string combinations. The same basic gourd banjo, called the ekontone, is played today in Gambia. Alongside the banjo gourd, musicians devised a number of fiddles, American-born relatives of the African ritti or one-stringed fiddle. Eventually, perhaps under the influence or orders of masters who wanted Irish jigs played in their parlors, black fiddle-players picked up the European violin, taking that instrument back to their cabins, adding classical-style fiddle to banjo and percussion; so the blurring of boundaries began.

Add Portland’s Rose Garden to the rumor mill
@silly: that’s a solid approach. If I run into the CA boys or AW at hershey I’m very happy to hang with em. Keep up with em is another story. 🙂
@gdad…I picked up a green bottle a few days ago. As a longtime gold bottle user, I have to say the green bottle def has a little more ice to it…borderline scary at first, but quickly gets all ahhhh. Green bottle is already packed!

Carolina Chocolate Drops on tomorrow afternoon
I’ll do the RG if they play there. At least i’ll try my hardest to make it happen.
Let’s get this Gold Bond thing totally out in the open. I’ve used the yellow bottle before but never the green. What’s the difference? Also, other than preventing chaffing, what are the true benefits/uses?
I tend to use it front, under, and back. Am I doing it right? There aren’t really instructions on the bottle that I’ve ever seen.
Sweet Sumodie
They are playing in your neck of the woods in the beginning of September. They are also playing at the World Cafe GDad.
Marshall
Sounds like you got it down. The Green Bottle is stronger.
Marshall – it sounds like your doing it right
never stepped up to the green either yet
plane is finally here
should board soon
see ya’ll in Chi
