Morning all. Shit continues to be nutso here.Early isn't too bad. I'm done classes early both days so I can go do work, do homework, run and of course listen to Phish. I'm trying to get through a show a day and my schedule helps.
Round Room has still not clicked as a full album for me. Of course, the songs I like on it, I LOVE.

@mattsox94 - I totally failed at college in that I don't think I had a weekday morning where I could sleep in past 8:00 til my senior year. (due both to class and work-study.) But that was ok, as finishing classes early allowed me to play a lot of pickup basketball in the afternoons. A lot.

Perhaps they have other ideas on how to spread the word?
Slowly getting back into the Grateful Dead again. I originally got into the Grateful Dead by walking around an FYE, seeing the cover of Live/Dead, thinking, "That looks cool," and listening to a sample of the first song on it, which of course, is "Dark Star." Hearing Jerry's guitar sound instantly hooked me, and I was off, downloading shows left and right. I eventually heard all I wanted to, and searched for the next band to dive into like that. Logically, it was Phish. Now I'm slowly moving back into Grateful Dead land. An earlier forum post has piqued my desire to listen to 11/17/73, it looks very tasty.

I mean, who hasn't had their penis twisted that hard?
@mattsox94 and @johnnyd
I only ever took one 8am class in my 4 years of college. My typical schedule was wake up at 11 or 12, have a few classes, work as a supervisor at the dining hall, and come home and do homework (beginning of the week) or drink (end of the week)
Also, I wish I wasn't about 8 and a half hours from all this great beer in Vermont. Heady Topper is currently my most wanted to try beer on my list. Once I have some time I'll have to make a weekend of it if Joelle wants to join.

We're essentially talking about being able to loosely plan our summers.

I also notice no one has changed my avatar. What gives?I really only want the 52 glitch to go away.
I also notice no one has changed my avatar. What gives?Same with me. I believe that owes to the forums inablility to make a collective decision. Nobody stepped up and assumed the role of "big toe" on those decisions.

LOL. You'd have better luck trying to start something HERE!You don't think a semi-organized barrage of tweets at Red Light Management and Phish would at the very least get noticed by them, possibly get a response, and perhaps create change?
Look at the recent Applebee's debacle, or Shapriogate. They're getting attention and responses.

There's zero motivation for Phish to make a change. "Boy, I wish these tweets would go away, let's announce the dates!" There's nothing unethical about their practice and it really just sounds like one of the biggest #firstworldproblems ever. They do what they do for a reason and I would be very confident that there's more in play from a logistics and contract standpoint than anyone will comprehend.
...and this Shapiro(vice) thing is even worse. Embarassing. Get another f***ing hobby if you need to harass a comedian.
The burlington blog thing from before Essex was a different situation and I'd remind the masses that bad decisions were made on twitter and the authorites came knocking on doors.
Also got her to agree to come in and fix the shower, which requires them taking down the wall and replacing all of the pipes on the inside. i am guesstimating that this will happen 4 months after we move out.
RLM is in the business of making money, as is Phish. The sooner we get the info the more fans are likely to be able to make dates work for them. And perhaps it's too late this year, but in the future maybe they start planning earlier?
I realize it's a longshot but I'm having more fun this morning worrying about this than my actual job. So humor me.
Part of me doesn't want dates because I'll just get the depression if there's no Vegas shows. Or I'll still be waiting months later for west coast dates
But having dates now would also make me happy because I could spend my time planning my girl terr trip and potentially starting my phishy decoupage project
Life is so hard
I realize it's a longshot but I'm having more fun this morning worrying about this than my actual job. So humor me.@ericwyman - of course its about the biggest first world problem ever. Please realize (if you havent wasted the 10 mins reading the thread) that its pretty much tongue-in-cheek idea designed as much for personal entertainment as getting results.
That said, @phish, @redlightmanagement,
:::stares directly at camera, serious as a heart attack:::
Tell me when the festival is so I can plan the rest of my life around it.
Dicks.
Please realize (if you havent wasted the 10 mins reading the thread) that its pretty much tongue-in-cheek idea designed as much for personal entertainment as getting results.I'm gonna burn this hell-hole down.
I really only want the 52 glitch to go away.Oh, and the ability to quote and permalink my own peauxsts back. I'm the only one who gives a shit what I've said here.

@johnnyd thanks for the Waterbury rec. Haven't really spent much time there but it sounds like lunch flowed by a little walk around town may be in order. Then dinner somewhere in B-town. Damn it is going to be a fine fine day.
:: gets back to work sans Phish dates ::I personally am going on strike till Phish releases their dates.
@johnnyd thanks for the Waterbury rec. Haven't really spent much time there but it sounds like lunch flowed by a little walk around town may be in order. Then dinner somewhere in B-town. Damn it is going to be a fine fine day.You bet, just, like I said, double check the hours.
Blackback serves the Mad Taco that me and @birmy are always talking about, but not sure when they open.
The Reservoir has very decent bar food at good prices (and 38 draught lines). Pretty sure they are open for lunch.
Pro Pig is like a smokehouse - lots of pork. Outstanding cocktail menu, but I think that would be my third choice of the three. I don't think they open til evening though anyway.
Ha! Prohibition Pig -> Pork Tornado just makes sense! Hope they are open for lunch. If not the resevior would be cool too. I speak with their chef as well but not as much as Prohibition Pig.
Not sure if you watch log news but WCAX had a great piece on Three Penny Tap room last night. We sell to them as well and they are def in my list of places to check out.
Ha! Prohibition Pig -> Pork Tornado just makes sense!Can't argue with that!
Actually it seems like their new chef is doing much better with the food. We tried them a bunch of times from when they opened through about 6 months in, and the food just wasnt very good for the price. But recently we've been hearing some good things - good enough that we'll definitely give it another shot.

Pretty F'n stoked-- been waiting for this trip for a while-- I even found a picture that perfectly describes how I feel today...

If you're not having a good week i feel for ya. The last couple months have been pretty shitty for me. Week after week, no christmas vacation, no MSG this year
