I grew up in the deep south and was in high school/college during the Phish/DMB heyday.  People would be downright shocked if your response to "Did you get your tickets?" was "no" or "tickets for what?" because it was just assumed that you both knew Phish or DMB were playing a show nearby and that you were going.

And squishy!

Wow, I would have loved to have been at the 93 show. I regret never seeing Bettie Serveert back when. Well then, I am going to go listen to Palomine now.

Since Jason Heller brought them up, I am a huge Superchunk fanboy who just hasn't seen them but a few times. I saw them in 2011 in Atlanta, and their encore was worth the price of admission alone. The crowd was awful and full of disinterested hipsters, but they pulled out all the stops. In fact, I just spoke to Jon…

For what it is worth, my fiancee is ten years younger than me and it works (37/27).

Phel pops in once in a blue moon. Of course, I really liked her hubby, Prison Wine.

Where are you staying?  If you have never had the staple of hot chicken, I'd give Hattie B's a try. http://www.hattieb.com/

I miss Lexicon Devil. That was one erudite motherfucker. Of course, Jorge Von Salsa, and no matter how much shit he got, I thought he was a really nice dude in Tom Waits for Snowman/Lone Audience of the Apocalypse.

Nice, you never hear much about the Royal Trux these days.

I live in Nashville, but I work in a suburb about 20 miles south called Cool Springs. This area may be the fattest group of people I have ever seen, and I lived in Alabama and Mississippi. There are around 20 handicap parking spaces in front of my building and 90% are full of people too fat to walk from normal…

That reminds me of the old David Cross stand up bit about the garbage man yelling at girls saying something like, "I'll yell at a 100 girls, and 99 ain't into it. But maybe that 100th, likes to fuck on a pile of trash."

I'm less than one like per comment, but I started commenting before there were likes. I'm old school like that.

Presque vu?

Haha! Awesome, it has a name. Thanks, @avclub-db7c5d0c89a65eb6619443730b14a8cf:disqus .

I've been making six minute eggs after seeing it done on the Top Chef finale. It is an easy way to make poached-like eggs and very good. I had some for breakfast on Monday when I was playing hooky.

@avclub-901eed0aea40de0fd19a2cacc99a3066:disqus I am a Nashvillian. Rosepepper is basically decent, but their margaritas are incredible. Plus, it is close to the house.

Luckily, my boss(es) are very hands off and not crazy. My fiancee has people sending emails at 2:00 am asking for answers.  Fuck that.

It's all good. It sort of descends (or ascends!) into a bitching about coworkers/work thread.

I've been blessed with a full and burly beard, and I've sported it for a few years now. Now, I think I am going to try one of those shaved fade haircuts and have to figure out how to incorporate my beard into it.
