  1. Bummer. Nice hearing the crowd support their team at the end of the game (and Price during the game). Umberger+Biron were killers in this series. Cherry's jacket last night was a killer too

  3. Carbs should have worn the "lucky" tie for the last game. If he wears it on Saturday it will become the "desperation" tie. Big pressure on the Habs. Shit, if they win I gotta come into work on Sunday morning (OT OT OT OT )

  5. I think Fatso hired some of his local boys from NJ to take care of the pest. It's a hit.
  6. Halak stopped that breakaway ... nice job! I'm outta here. Gotta get home to watch the rest of this one
  7. I'm late at work tonight. Going home in a few minutes. Having fun watching the production feeds on the tvs here though. Basically cameras and mics on and no commercials ... pick your own view. Just listened to them have to repeat the pronounciation of Halak's name a gazillion times . Go Habs Go.

  10. http://www.sfweekly.com/2008-04-30/news/bob-weir-s-cutoffs-not-going-to-grateful-dead-archive/ Bob Weir's cutoffs not going to Grateful Dead archive By Andy Tennille Published: April 30, 2008 Backstage passes, concert posters, old stage props, and fan mail were all the buzz at a press conference last week at the Fillmore Auditorium. San Francisco psychedelic rock pioneers and Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers the Grateful Dead announced the donation of the band's extensive archive — which documents the group's history from 1965 to the present — to the University of California at Santa Cruz. It was initially unclear whether one famous item of apparel would be part of the archive: Bob Weir's famous cutoff denim shorts. While Catherine Bach may have introduced them into pop culture in her role as the leggy cousin of Bo and Luke Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, if there's one person who is responsible for bringing Daisy Dukes — the outrageously short cutoffs — to rock 'n' roll, it's Weir. Throughout the '80s and '90s, the Dead's rhythm guitarist sported the decidedly male-inappropriate garb onstage during the band's summer tours, earning good-natured ribbing from legions of Deadheads as well as eternal infamy in the Urban Dictionary, the online arbiter of colloquial slang. "Weirs," as they're defined, are "a pair of very short shorts worn by a male in the style of Grateful Dead guitarist Bobby Weir. Normally attired during the summer months and accompanied with a tank top." Sadly, at last week's press conference, the now-60-year-old Weir — who was joined by Dead percussionist Mickey Hart — appeared without his trademark hot pants, instead opting for a more appropriate blazer-and-Birkenstocks ensemble. But that didn't dispel the notion that the "jorts" he once donned might make an appearance at the newly renovated McHenry Library, where the collection will be housed. "Those particular shorts could be included in the archive," the graying musician said from the podium, "but I think I could do better by putting them up for auction and giving the money to a worthwhile charity. But you never know." So Deadheads visiting the archive, which is expected to be open to the public within the next two years after being inventoried, will have to wait to see if a pair of Weirs makes it down to Santa Cruz. Weir told SF Weekly after the press conference that the university's historical preservationists might have a tough job on their hands if they permitted visitors to try on his infamous nut-huggers. "They wouldn't make it through the first butt that hit them," he said with a laugh. "Those things are threadbare. I mean, they started out as jeans back in the '70s. I wore them until they were no longer serviceable as jeans, and then I made them into the cutoffs. They ripped across the backside at one point, but I still wore them for a while afterwards. I just didn't turn around much. But I still got 'em. They're a little fragile now, but if I lose about 10 pounds, I can still squeeze into them if I have to."
  11. Damn, ZPZ in Kitchener on Friday and now WSP in Toronto on Sat ... gotta figure out how i'm going to pull this one off
  12. I can't get the "ALBERT, ALBERT" chan't out of my head today :
  13. I remember being up on the lawn at Kingswood in '87. Had picked up some silver star blotters from a kid from Cali in the lot. WTF, only $2 a pop! I remember waiting to drop and didn't get the effects until between sets. The concrete "anchors" for the cables of the tent at Kingswood were bubbling and turning to liquid (i didn't care if the tent fell down, i was on the outside ) I remember turning to my buddy Earl (on his first trip) and looking at him KNEW we were ready for takeoff. The techs were on stage just before the 2nd set started and were making some weird noises. We stood up and yelled "SPACE". About 100 people around us then got up and started cheering and hollering. We quickly realized it wasn't SPACE and sat down laughing our asses off. Then they ripped into that killer Scarlet>Fire and my life was never the same Scarlet Begonias Fire on the Mountain Estimated Prophet Eyes of the World drums Spanish Jam The Other One China Doll Dear Mr. Fantasy Around and Around Good Lovin' Box of Rain Took the "extras" back up north with me to the camp i was working at. Had an UNREAL experience peaking at sundown in the woods ... whoa.

    Just got around to watching the most recent episode on Sunday night. Good stuff! I love the time-travel aspect that is being brought in. I like that link to the time loop theory as well. Thanks for posting.
