^^^^^ Good ... And let's hope that whatever their "answer" is gets carefully scrutinized to determine validity.

Last night's setlist: Warfield Theater San Francisco, CA May 14, 2008 Set 1: Aoxomoxoa (Third Album, 1969) St. Stephen> Dupree's Diamond Blues *Rosemary Doin' That Rag Mountains Of The Moon China Cat Sunflower What's Become Of The Baby^ Cosmic Charlie Set 2 with Mark Karan: Live/Dead (1969) Dark Star> St. Stephen> The Eleven> Turn On Your Lovelight> Death Don't Have No Mercy> And We Bid You Goodnight Donor Rap/Intros E: King Bee *with Teresa Williams on vocals

The thing that is a drag is the propaganda that the big ISPs are putting out that it is all the P2P action that is clogging bandwidth. The documentation that funkybeats linked to were interesting. They, along with some other articles i've read, state that torrenting is not the root cause of bandwidth clogging. Video streaming is supposedly one of the biggest hogs. So, if they are convincing the CRTC that they should be able to shape specific protocols and that this validates their argument, then it opens up their NEW pricing policies that they will be rolling out. To keep the "high speed" aspect of what they sell to their customers, they will operate on a tiered pricing scheme. Sure, those who use more pay more, but the price will be astronomical I am sure. Didn't somebody post here that their ISP had a meter that showed how much they "could" be paying for extra bandwidth (in the hundreds of $s). The situation is much like what happened with cell phone plans over the years. Minutes = Bandwidth. The way I see it, they can start a new plan/pricing scheme as they choose. The problem is that there is no room for reasonable competition when wholesalers' hands are tied by the big ISPs. All I want is the advertised speed that the ISP states I should be getting more than the 60Gig/month cap on combined up/download.

Hadn't checked in for a while, but looks like sugarmegs.org is down temporarily. A buddy of mine is jumping on their offer though. Check this out:

Phil and Friends 5/13/08 "Anthem" set

Me too ... same thing for Pittsburgh.

Here's one a bit cheaper, but a private sale: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-cameras-camcorders-CANON-SD-950-IS-12-1-mp-CAMERA-W0QQAdIdZ50522029 I'm looking at getting a new camera too. I have an older Canon, but am ready to upgrade to something smaller, yet still takes great shots (which mine no longer does on a regular basis). That 870 is looking pretty damn good.

Ahhhh, yes, I'd love to. However, this year i think we're going to be staying home This is too bad as we had such an amazing time there last summer. You never know, we might just be able to pull it off at the last minute (but without the big kickass RV ). I should call that gang from Chicago who made those tasty treats (remember the batch of cookies, crispy squares, banana loaf?) Y U M M Y

Hey, if you all of a sudden find a few monies, you should bust a nut and get down there. Got an email from a person who knows somebody working at the Warfield. They relayed that a bunch of props, etc. that will be housed in the archives at UCSC are in the Warfield for this run. The visual additions should be cool. Here are a few pics from 5/13: and the dancers from Cream Puff and NFA:

Fuck Dallas. They had better not win tomorrow night. COme on Detroit, finish the kill already. If those Stars win again on Friday, I'm going to have to come in to work on Sunday ... on a long weekend. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. GO WINGS GO

I wanted to go to the wedding too ... big honkin' Pakistani wedding with kickass food and music. But come on ... it's Phil and Levon in a tiny park in Rochacha You goin' Booche?

^^^^ Yes, agreed. I should have included the "performance" aspect of the epic-ness There are plenty of shows over the years where I have seen "killer" setlists, yet the show is flat. Same goes the other way with mediocre setlists but fantastic performances (you had to be there type shows ). Just had to turn down an invitation to a big wedding on July 12th since there's no fucking way i'm missing Phil in Rochester!

Holy shit ... this is what you call an historic run. This deems the label "epic" This thread should have its name changed to "Phil Lesh Warfield Run '08 Holy Fuck" Tonight? Workingman's Dead & American Beauty!?!??!?!??! Fook Me

LOL ... laughed when I heard a coworker saying who the fuck is Ryan Adams. I went over to see and this is what they were looking at: http://thesuperficial.com/2008/05/mandy_moore_ryan_adams.php Mandy Moore: Why is Ryan Adams touching my boobs - in a comic book store?

Dweezil and Janice from a Muppet magazine:

^^^^^ Thank YOU

Perfect combo Should start bringing Muppets to ZPZ shows. Did Frank ever appear on Sesame or Muppet Show?

Watch "From The Balcony" if you are a fan of Statler & Waldorf: http://movies.com/muppets/archive

Bullshit. F-Bell. F-CRTC.

Peddie is a fuckwad. I can't stand looking/listening to him when he's interviewed. What a putz.

I knew there was a reason I was listening to Aoxomoxoa yesterday (first time in a long time too) http://jambands.ca/sanctuary/showpost.php?post/528350/ Go Phil Go
