  1. Cheers and thanks Alabama Man. I managed to sneak a Login @ Dime by checking every now and again throughout the day.

    Got the show, it really f*ckin pleases me. Good memories from Friday Night. It will be even sweeter when I pass it on to my boss who finally showed up during Best of You.

  2. You almost echo my sentiments from Friday. Dylan is Dylan and he did what I expected. as such I enjoyed him.

    But as you mentioned the Foo's really took me by surprise. I don't own a Foo CD, that is about to change. I am going to pick up the Live Album tomorrow. Dave Grohl really showed himself that night. Good on him.

  3. We were there Friday night as well. I enjoyed it. We were at the back of the floors doing the hippie shake. I always take my Dylan with a lot of salt, however. It's not something that everyone can stomach.

    What really impressed me were the Foo's. Dave Grohl really did his best to put on a show.

    Hey Willy I guess we'll see you tomorrow at Los Lobos. Looking forward to that one as well.

  4. Also during the Halloween 2000 run in New Orleans, they opened the 3 night run with Sweet Leaf. I remember being in the arena and hearing those opening chords. The crowd went nuts of course. Oh I miss the days of being able to travel. I'm incredibly jealous of all of you who make it out to shows still.

  5. Well I guess I will brag a little here. My wife and I met Dave Schools way back in Dec 99 in the Atlanta airport. We got on the tram to go back to the main terminal and Dave got on the train. Talked a little bit at the time about them not playing Canada and a few other things. He was a genuine nice guy.

    Going back a little bit more when the Furthur Festival ventured to TO we were vending inside Molson Amphtitheatre and when my wife went back to the car at one point she bumbed into Mickey Hart and shot the shit with him about a few things. The stranger thing was later that night when we were crossing the border heading to Hershey who is standing in line in front of us at the Fort Erie Duty Free. Bob Weir. It was late and he was buying himself a bottle of Crown Royal. We shared a few words and he wished us well on our drive down to Hershey.

    Later that same summer I had the pleasure of meeting Ziggy Marley talking to him and shaking his hand. This was while we were working at the CNE. That same stretch we got Ken Kesey's autograph whil the Furthur bus was on display at the CNE.

    Going way back when I was 16 I was wondering down Kings Rd in London England. I came out of a store and walked straight into Rick Okasek. Don;t know how I didn't see him coming he must be 6'5". Anyhow those are our brushes with ROck Royalty.

  6. Yes that was us with the pop can. How very Mcagyver like.

    Los Lobos has been one of those bands that I have meant to see again for a long time. Only been able to catch them at a couple different festivals years back. Always thought they would be great to see in a bar where you can really cut loose. Hamilton Place will have to do.

  7. Hey folks, looking for 3 Tickets to the show this weekend. Can really only meet you at the show. Decided to take the Irie staff to make it the end of season party. We have 2 already but need 3 more. Ticketmaster isn't behaving. It doesn't say sold out but it won't spit out any tickets. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lively up Yourself!!!

  8. Sweet...so...when's the GST going down? and I think they should retro it back to Jan 1 when it finally does happen.

    Will that 1% reduction per year will make a huge difference to you?? If you spend $15000 a year on commodities which have GST charged you will save approx. $150.00. Do you spend that much. Maybe maybe not.

    That money now has to come from somewhere else to keep the books balanced. Perhaps a rise in Income Taxes. Say goodbye to your $150 savings.

    Well it's done now not much we can do at this point.

  9. Take it from experience. If you can, stay downtown. There's plenty of hotels withing walking distance to Philips Arena. You don't even need to grab a cab from the airport. Jump on the MARTA right within the airport and it will take you downtown fo a couple of bucks. No messing with rental cars.

  10. John Bell has Soul like no other. Schools can drop a bomb that will knock your heart out of your chest. JoJo can tickle the keys better than most. Sonny is a percussion madman. Todd keeps that beat going in a no nonsense style and now George rips a meaner and heavier sound than Mikey ever did.

    Catch Panic at Red Rocks, New Orleans or for New Years, These are the shows to be at. We did it all one year. Next time you watch TEWSY look for the Canadian Flag flying high over the Red Rocks lot in the opening scenes. That's us. God I love Panic and I really miss seeing live music. Panic brought to the table everything we loved in the Grateful Dead. Darkness and Light. Good and Bad. They have it all. Cheers to my friends so near!!!
