  2. Made my first visit to their new location on Carling this week and was totally impressed yet again with the great and friendly service and of course the unbelievable Caribbean cuisine. I had a curry shrimp roti with a side of Plantain. We also sampled the full appetizer menu. We were the only ones in the restaurant and I asked the owner/cook Frederick how business was at the new location and his answer was not very promising, he kinda mentioned he was hoping for a better summer... Anyhow, if you haven't been to CF check it out and if you're already a fan, I think they could really use some business these days. It would be a tragedy if they went out of business Caribbean Flavours website
  3. I think they should be given to the Dalai Lama as a symbolic gesture of hope for the Tibetan people.
  4. It was unbelievable, absolutely delicious! Not sure I'm brave enough to attempt it myself though.
  5. Thanks fuckfaces As if this article ran on my bday... 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."
  6. Hey, we don't come to you with our problems.
  7. I love how at 3:38 DJ says "where's Cassidy?"...that's what I'd be saying if I was at that show as well...HAHAHA.
  8. So a bunch of people get shot up and what is Lesh most concerned about? "Didn't know I was doing a charity gig tonight" $$$$$$$$ Good writers - they nailed it.
  9. They've got nothing on..uh...this...
  10. Woohoo we raised $2,500 bucks! (That's up from $1000 we raised last year) The Coggs are a great little band (3 guys) they play regularly at the Rainbow on Fridays, 5-7 sets. Maybe we should have a "Jammin' For Kids", perhaps that would bring out a few more Skanks...hmmmm...
  11. Beth Hart opening for Ratdog back in 2000 or something...it wasn't pretty.
  12. That was hilarious..."I still have 'em"...
  13. Anyone else watching? it's good. On now.
  14. No, it's a "fundraiser" hence our goal to "raise" "funds"...
  15. It's a StCyr "Hitsman", nothing spectacular, but pretty cool considering it was donated and you can buy a raffle ticket for 2$ (3 for $5)! Not sure who does the lessons at Lauzon, but it's guitar or vocal I believe.
  16. Update: we're going to raffle off a guitar, some lessons from Lauzon Music and a bunch of other stuff!
  17. If you want to watch the last hour of debate on this Bill before it is voted on (which if successful will send it to the Health Committee for study) tune into CPAC on Monday, May 5th, 11:00am-12:00.
  18. What shows in Burlington doesn't Gordon show up at?
