I second the Toronto '99 version.

I wish I could make it. Not in the cards right now though. My guess is that it will sell out if it hasnt already.

Dear Previous Employer;

It is with great happiness that am proud to announce that you are a complete and utter ass.

Thank you,

P.S. I'll sip my coffee when I damn well please!

That is all.

My favourite version of YEM is the one from 07/25/92 Stowe Performing Arts Center, Stowe, VT. This is the one with Carlos Santana and his percussion section sitting in. Actually one my favourite live moments in Phish history, not just my favourite version of YEM.

Ah yes! forgot about that gem.

Its hard to say as Yem (imo) didn't vary that much from version to version but I like:

07-08-94

Jimmy Page is one hell of a bad influence!

"oxyphenbutazone"

it really screws any game of scrabble I tell ya.

Greatest Drunk On Earth

You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel.

Ahh!!

bad news but it makes even more glad that I saw them this summer in TO.

Thanks!

Waa!!

****UPDATED IN MY POST A FEW DOWN****

....There are a few dates available in the new year at a venue in Collingwood and I'm in need of some bands that are looking for exposure. The pay is not that high but being a musician I know that sometimes just going out and playing and being heard is more important. We are trying to get away from the same old same old people playing over and over in town (which allison has been doing a spectacular job of might I add!) so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions that would be great. Please supply myspace addresses if possible.

Well I'll have to kick down some George tunes tonite with my geeter. Truly one of the best.....

"they" say that in the next ten years there will be handheld devices that will be able to literally hold everything that has ever been created by man. ie- tv/movies, music, art, photos etc. it's madness!

he should wait until his mystery is at an alltime high and reveal himself and go on tour before hes forgotten. pretty interesting stuff.

the lack of pictures available of this is making me somewhat skeptical, although I really dont doubt it exists but I wonder if the actual size is true. I could also understand a certain level of cover up as being possible but still, where are the pictures?

EDIT: Okay, i now beleive that when the gyre is refered to as twice the size of texas they really mean that a section of ocean that size is polluted, not that there is somekind of massive island of garbage twice the size of texas floating around out there (which is what it came across as to me). still disturbing, heres a vid:

wonder how the first person to attempt the prototype suit made out? this looks insane.

its like we've given the planet a giant cancerous tumor. seriously disturbing. just like they say in that article above, we will basically all be consuming that trash in one way or another as it works it's way up the food chain eventually ending up in my fishsticks.

not good. not good at all........

as a smoker and a parent i am in 100% aggreement with this law. there should be no question in anyones mind that smoking in a small contained area with a child is mental. if you cant go a few minutes without a smoke, or stop and get out rather than blow a bunch of toxins in your childs face than you should be bitch slapped.

(this might hit a nerve with people) although it would be very hard to enforce, in my opinion smoking inside anywhere where there are children present should be on the way out as well.

did i mention i'm a smoker......

anybody else go to this signing? it was madness. 3 floors of people lined up weaving throughout the book shelves and up escalators. quite the event. apparently there were people there lined up at 1:15 am the night before!! regardless i got a couple shots and my book signed.
