myrna, i was wrongly banned from the US 8 years ago. after years of sweat blood and tears i finally just got the paper stating that it should not have happened and i am free to go to the states again. crazy.

it didn't rain it was pretty good last night, seems to always get good at the very end. some sleepy stuff at the beginning (for me). is anyone going for gladys tonite?

happy birthday schwa!

yes! are you hard of hearing?

yes, and i need to see him!

probably planning to stay the night...i have a place with a friend near the venue. will probably come back for bluesfest on sunday, unless something cool comes up in rochester.

my mom mentioned something about taking me out for dinner in celebration of getting my US papers... i think we ought to try the gastropub!

yep, i'm in. looking forward to checking him out after the many recommendations!

is anyone going from ottawa? i have car space to share...

uh oh..are ticket sales low?

i am not going to miss ray davies. btw, yahoo maps is saying it's 4.5 hrs to rochester...not 6 like i think andre thinks. is that right?

w levon helm band who's going? i might be looking for a ride, or else someone to ride down with me (from ottawa).

oh...and they showed up 2 hours late! and walked right past me into the house without saying hello or greeting me! not friendly.

well...he quoted me 80/hr. but at the end of the day he said it was 110/hr because he'd brought an extra guy. well...thanks for informing about that buddy. then, after 3 hours they were done, but they said they would put my futon back together for me (since i had no clue how i was gonna do that). so they went upstairs for 30 minutes to do that, which i ended up paying another 1/2 hr for, but when i got up there later they had not done a thing to the futon. nothing was broken though, iirc.

i have one ticket for each of the following up for grabs: Saturday July 5 Saturday July 12 Possibly - Sunday July 13 (I'll confirm) 20$ each

i enjoyed the end of the show (the rockin fun part). i was kinda bored before that. i walked into a crowd of people STANDING and the people i ended up in front of got mad that i was standing in front of them (though there were at least 5 rows more of people standing in front of me). people are nuts.

^^ i hired that guy and while it seemed cheap, there were "hidden" costs...basically at the end of the day he charged me quite a bit more than what he had quoted. it ended up being 400 for 3 hours and i think you could find cheaper than that.

happy bday to one of my favourite skanks on here, you always make me laugh. enjoy the day/weekend!

gosh, i haven't seen hux in ages. i do remember the first time i met him, he just said "if you ever have any questions about the grateful dead, i'm the guy to ask" i thought, wow what a tool hehehe

i am so ready for phish 3.0

wha? where? i really wanna see them again.

standing areas are basically at the side and back. we usually hang out below the tree on the left side of the soundboard. it hasn't been hard to get a good view really. last night was fun. good partying with skanks
