shai Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's starting to look like I won't be in the Bay this summer. Things might change but it's 99% in favor of me headed up north around the beginning of May for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Oh great, so now who do we rely on for BGCA tickets when we don't hit in the lottery, my SF friends drop the ball, and regular tix sell out before we even have time to turn on our computers?

shai Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not me, I'm broke. I have reliable friends here you could talk to that might be going, though. My friend just got back from NYC and said he paid $250 to catch one Furthur show out there. I had no idea it was like that...people were getting let into the Weir/Hornsby show here, from what I consider reliable sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Oh great, so now who do we rely on for BGCA tickets when we don't hit in the lottery, my SF friends drop the ball, and regular tix sell out before we even have time to turn on our computers? Dude i already made reservations at the W, 3 rooms. I know a few other people who put in for extras in the lottery who agreed to sell me the extras if I need them, so I'm not to stressed about tickets even if it means I got to buy your ticket for a night or two. I'm not going to say shit can't go wrong but don't expect a ball to be dropped. I can't control if I go to jail or some bullshit but dude I already told work I am not around during those shows, no exceptions! Just saying. So your other friends out here might drop balls, and be left scrambling for tickets but trust in that is a weekend to rage hard. So hard you might not be able to work for a few days after. Also I got no tour plans as right now except for this http://www.songkick.com/festivals/397343-emissions-west-coast-bass-culture-4th-annual-by-camp-irie-cartel/id/12429823-emissions--west-coast-bass-culture-4th-annual-festival-by-camp--irie-cartel-2012 Camp ?/Irie cartel throw down for one of the best weekends of the year for yet another year. Hopefully no fucking snow this year, that shit sucked last year. So many people I know woke up in a collapsed tent full of water sunday morning. Seriously this is one of the premiere west coast electronic festivals with a great vibe to it. http://www.stringcheeseincident.com/ 2 3 day runs of cheese! cheeserocks, and hornings hideout, and a 2 nights in berkeley. West coast cheese is gonna be fucking awesome! I am trying to find hornings tickets since I haven't been since 03 and probably will do the berkeley shows. Might start my summer with this work dependent. http://www.joshuatreemusicfestival.com/mayartists.htm the guy who throws this seriously has an ear for music and in my 5 years of going to his festivals I have never failed to be disappointed. Go to this festival if you have never been and are in the area, beyond amazing is all i can say. Symbosis ? http://pyramideclipse.com/ Been debating going, Nevada scares the fucking shit out of me especially for a festival. But they do know how to party and have an insane lineup. This looks dope and I would go but don't know if I can afford it or get time off work http://summercampfestival.com/ This is high on my list of events to hit for the first time this year http://www.shambhalamusicfestival.com/ I've wanted to go to this for 3 years now, and still haven't been. I hear the most insane stories about this festival and how badass it is. STS9 + Unphrees + hornings = awesome http://regenerationfestival.com/ not quite as good as mayan holidaze which i need to go to still but yeah it will be awesome if i can make it. Ok and last but not least for those of you who can't get home this summer due to yet another ticket fiasco...... FUCK THE LOTTERY! http://www.mutantfestival.org/ Longer, cheaper (FREE!!!) fucking 100% awesome. Been talking about bringing out a stage since an event I was working with got cancelled during that time frame. I'll update this later when I know more and if any of you are going to these feel free to hit and lets drink a beer and rage! TTITD Anyone on here got a ticket they want to sell me on the cheap so I can go? EDIT: also for those of you who like funky break sets peep this and go see him at Emissions!

Avesism Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ok, you're in there with my SF friends I'm hoping doesn't drop the ball then, 'cuz I hit the lotto for four Atlanta pav seats and gots nada from anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 atleast you got something. phish hates me Im looking at Lakewood and Blossom Jb2 and SPAC 1 & 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avesism Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've got an extra Lakewood. If you don't get them from the onsale, you can grab it. I'm on the fence with SF. Last summer Tahoe was the super small venue impossible ticket and three of us all got in each night with ease. Thing is, I had a ticket for the Hollywood bowl show already, and was staying out near Tahoe as it was, so it made sense to roll the dice, being in CA already. Flying out to a smaller venue right in San Fransisco with no ticket and getting in is definitely possible, but I don't know if I want to spend the money if tickets end up on expensive end. My CA boys gotta get it in gear, but I'm already calling ball droppage. Illuminatus, if you get tix when they go on sale, get as many as possible and hold one for each night for me. If shit doesn't work out when they go on sale, I'm skipping Cali. The northeast shows, ATL and Denver will "have to do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Mutant Fest is SPAZ people, which means "potentially stuck out in the middle of the woods with a bunch of candy raver cougars." Or- "How was Mutant Fest this year?" "The usual...fucking in tents." I like some of the SPAZ folks but I'd have to be on a lot of drugs to deal with Mutant Fest.

Pedro dePaca Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 i have 9 hits of blotter in a square with a steal your face design. i'm sure it evaporated years ago, but i only picked it up for the print anyway. if i can find it, i'll scan or take a picture and post it here. after misplacing that for a couple years i finally found it last fall. i got a little frame for it and gave it to my dad for christmas. (meant to post this months ago, but login problems and stuff made it a pain in the ass.) bonus: a couple signed framed prints from my dad's collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 That's cool stuff. I wish I had some of my old gear to show off here....like a recording of when Merl Saunders called my dad (my dad worked at a music store in San Rafael in the 90s).

Illuminati Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm pretty sure theme from the bottom is dropping the ball on phish in sf. But on the bright side any of you who are going to those shows are going to have a raging afterparty 2 nights. Tentative location just a few blocks from the shows.

Avesism Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure I'm dropping the ball on SF, too. Just got back from AC. They were awesome shows. My bad on being a flake on the phone, too. I sent you a couple texts and will give you a call tomorrow. Jones Beach>SPAC up next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Chances are getting better I'll be hitting Lakewood. I have a $150 airline credit thats expiring in a few months I had completely forgot about. Super stoked for this weekend. 2 shows and 2 ballgames in 24 hours. Still not driving. ATL looks easy for someone flying in Uhhh i want that blotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipod90 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes, I am no expert but there are defiantly some missing. There were 27 albums and The end of the road included in the dl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 My advice is to skip "Steal Your Face" and stop at "Blues For Allah." This is strange but really, really good- Grateful Dead Live at the Family Dog 9-7-69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipod90 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I know what you mean Shai, but I have only heard a few songs from different albums so this will be my first start to finish grateful dead sitting. What I mean is that I have to listen to everything at least once over to make my mind up on what's good or bad. Not being egotistical or nothing it's just the way I roll. Thanks for the advice anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Fair enough, but I predict that you will be left asking yourself "What happened after Terrapin Station?" The short answer- age, drugs, and outside producers. If you want the real deal, I recommend archive.org to everyone. Hopefully you obtained the remaster of "Live Dead" which is probably their best album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipod90 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Shai - You must really be quite the connoisseur, as I did see them differently after towards the end... I can defiantly say that the dead should be a staple in any music collection. The dead on wax must be incredible as it is superior to digital files imho. Can anyone shed some light about the Deads affiliation with Jefferson Aeroplane. Was there any hostility between the two bands? I kind of get the Beatles vs Rolling Stones vibe. Its probably just me, just thought I would ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 They definitely had one of the best soundsystems I've ever heard. The streams on archive.org are lossless conversions of soundboard tapes unless otherwise indicated, so if you have a decent system you're hearing a fairly accurate representation of the source material. This explains the connection to Jefferson Airplane... http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/12/jerry-garcia-surrealistic-pillow.html?m=1 Check out "Happy Trails" by Quicksilver Messenger Service....it's one of the best live albums I've ever heard.

abcs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 fun times Theme. How do your Lakewood plans look like? Cheap to fly in and out of Atlanta, busy airport. Wish it was a run in Atlanta or even a couple night stand. Should be. Wouldnt mind some Halloween dates. Arena shows. Not real sure thats gonna happen. NYE somewhere different. Got Furthur lined up Wednesday. Phil can throw down no question but the man has a terrible voice and insists on singing Jerry ballads. Still extra excited. Sucks i cant make it to Chicago tomorrow. Phil & Friends - Warfield Theater 1999-04-16 Trey, Page, Donna, etc. Check out the 15th and 17th. real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
