Mr Info

113 is not a family section. That's in the upper deck end zone corner. I can only make 3-4 games a year because I am a remote season ticket holder. My wife, kids (now middle-teens), and myself always look forward going to a Bills game. We usually fly in on Sat and the food and Buff experiences the day/night before as well as the tailgate and game experience (sans the product on the field for a bunch of the last 12 years) are a blast. And any game experience (tailgate, crowd, etc.) is always slightly different. I still have family in WNY so I/we have a chance to visit with them as well. I will take your advice Buftex and stay where I am.

I have been a season ticket holder for about 20 years and I can say in all honesty that I have never encountered any fights, been ralphed on, or anything similar to what is shown in this video or being discussed in this thread. Sure, I have heard a lot of profanity and seen some Bills fans ride some opposing fans but nothing that escalated into fights or a security swarm. And I have been taking my wife and kids there for years. We will be at the Fins game in two weeks. I am in sec 113 but I guess I am fortunate based on what I am reading. Maybe I will stay where I am instead of relocating.

Ok, my zubaz and a white Dareus jersey. I can do that.

Flying up from Richmond on Sat. I am extremely fortunate as my sister lives, literally, across the street from the Ralph. Season tix in 113. I have missed a bunch of games this year since I have been working in Asia so I am really looking forward to this game with this team. Last year's home game against the Jets was a disaster and the weather was just as bad. Early forecast looks ok.

A guy I worked with has a wife and two kids and got the calling at 32 (about six years ago). He is now a priest.

Here is the opening of the DSoTM Immersion box set for Floyd fanatics: . Here is where one might ask - "Why would I want to watch somebody unpack a box set?" A fair question but you get to see what you will be getting when you order it and the commentary while he unpacks the box is worth the watch. FWIW - I have heard mention of unsecured damaged disks in the DSoTM Immersion box set in Europe. If you ordered from Amazon.com, you may have 30 days to send the damaged item back or you get charged for the original and the replacement. If you receive a damaged set, you may want to wait until you receive your replacement set before you send the original set back. If both the original and the replacement set have damaged disks, you might be able to cob together one undamaged set from two damaged sets by swapping the damaged discs from one set for the undamaged discs of the other. This will prevent you from having to go through a second return and receiving a potential refund rather than a replacement. Although I am a fanatic, I am not a completist. I don't want studio outtakes/live bootlegs if it sounds like it was recorded underwater or through a 1970s walkie-talkie. I hope I don't regret this but if PF fanatics are interested, I have compiled a CD of blues only Floyd for which I was able to obtain some good masters and used Audacity to clean up (I am better with Audacity than Pro Tools). This is old 69-71 Floyd from live shows, unreleased material (Zabriskie Point), and obscure soundtracks and is only blues. PM if interested. FYI - the Immersion disk for WYWH will include more of world-famous jazz violinist Stefane Grapelli playing the cover. It is nearly inaudible in the final album mix but you can hear it "starting at 5:21..."- WYWH Wikipedia. Life got better for Dead and Floyd fans: Dead Floyd, a band out of Fort Collins, CO jams Floyd and Dead songs together at shows. You may hear Pigs (3 Diff Ones)>Scarlet Begonias>One of These Days>Uncle Johns Band.

Went to the Richmond race about 5 years ago with a bunch of friends. Consider something for your ears. I was positioned near a turn and my face was full of black rubber spots after the race. One thing I remember - I had an extra ticket and sold it outside the track to some guy for $100. He sits down next to us with a whole bunch of beer but he was already blitzed. About a half-hour later, he's passed out and remained that until waking up about 5 mins. before the race ended. I saw the exact same thing at a Bills game about a month later. Have a good time. It's definitely memorable.

People are out-of-their minds. While I watched that melee in the stands, I thought how long it took for security to get to those seats. I have season tix at the Ralph and have noticed that RWS security is on top of fights rather quickly. Maybe it's the section I am in but I feel security/cops are there at a moments notice for any disturbance. Actually, I feel quite comfortable in my section that security is nearby. They seem to be on top of situations before they escalate. However, this would not prevent what occurred at Candlestick in the restroom or the parking lot. Is the situation around the country so bad right now that people harbor that much animosity so situations like this occur? Do people think that phones/video won't be recording them? Does someone's t-shirt bother you enough to shoot them?

I just got off the phone with them. I had stopped Sun Ticket (no autorenewal) at the end of last season because the possibility existed of no season. So, I did not have the leverage to cancel Sun Ticket and I already had the autopay discount. I had them look at my customer record of being a long-standing Directv & Sunday ticket customer. As you know, the regular price is 6 months for $53.99/mo. After some interaction/negotiating, this is the offer I accepted: $10 off Directv bill for 12 months, $10 off the HD receivers for 24 months, $25 off Sunday ticket/mo, + Sunday ticket To Go. Final tally: $120(12x$10)+$240(24x$10)+$150(6x$25) - $324(6x$54) = Sunday Ticket + $186 in rebates + To Go ($50). Outstanding... all around. IMO, the discounts are based on agent (I had a good one) and Directv subscription history. Hope others that have not renewed yet receive something similar.

I was a bit disappointed with the finale...especially when it will be another 10 months until the next episode. But I dig the new tall, skinny aliens that were shown. With those arms, I want them on my fantasy basketball team. I am not too fond of Will Patton's Capt. Weaver.

I asked a similar question a little while back - see replies.RV question on TBD

It was mentioned that Wallenda would be the first in 150 years to cross the gorge on tightrope. The Great Blondin did it several times: Charles Blondin - wiki This he accomplished, first on 30 June 1859, a number of times, always with different theatric variations: blindfolded, in a sack, trundling a wheelbarrow, on stilts, carrying a man (his manager, Harry Colcord) on his back, sitting down midway while he cooked and ate an omelet and standing on a chair with only one chair leg on the rope. [3] Wiki reference 3 Holy **** - he made an omelette while he was crossing on tightrope!

Pink Floyd: Young Lust Run Like Hell One of These Days(I'm going to cut you into little pieces)

"...althought....to seceed from..." You should help Chan make sure those southern boys know their grammar and spelling.

This might not be much help but he looked good on Norm MacDonald's Sports show doing the Sound of Music spoof:Merriman's Broadway debut

The prices that are being discussed are for the internet streaming version rather/in addition to the satellite version.

Thanks. Are you saying that the lot typically has spaces available on Sat?

I am looking for some input on parking a camper at the RV lot for the Jets game next fall. Although I used to stumble through it when it was next to the stadium, I am unsure how obtaining a spot has changed. I notice in the RWS stadium guide that spots are open until filled - no reservations. Does it usually sell out? A friend of mine is considering taking his camper up on Sat. for the game but doesn't want to go and get stiffed on a spot. Thanks

Belated HB to a guy!

OK, going off thread but a similar thing happened to my wife and she decided to try the violin about 14 months ago. She prectices nearly every night and has improved greatly (thankfully). The violin (fiddle for my wife) is a difficult instrument. How's your wife doing with it?

Write memos much? Actually, I do. Scientific papers as well. But I had just returned home after a long flight when I posted and just wanted to post a quick reply on the board before I crashed. I'll get my son to proofread for me the next time I am that tired.

I work for Pfizer, too. Fortunately, I am not concerned with losing my job at this time. I hope NG is safe as well. I disagree with your opinion on exorbitant pricing of prescription drugs. Especially after observing and participating in the extraordinary cost and effort involved in bringing a single drug to market. Though I acknowledge that pricing may be difficult to understand at first glance. However, the days of small molecule drugs for prescription pharmaceuticals are marked. Biotechnology will be the primary target for R&D development. These are engineered to produce less side effects and should realize longer exclusivity since it may be cost prohibitive to produce a generic version. OTOH, the target market may be smaller for engineered drugs. Pfizer has a strong vaccine portfolio and is diversified in Animal Health, Infant Nutrition, and Consumer Health. These and other ventures should help it weather periods of pipeline paucity (hey...I am going to remember to use that alliteration some other time). It may be beneficial if the govt starts their own drug development pipeline. Perhaps they will understand firsthand some of the frustrations pharma companies have in dealing with the FDA.

That brought back memories of the late 70s (78/79?) seeing a Dead NY Eve's show at the SF Opera House. I dressed up as Santa Claus and had a bag full of roses I picked up at the end of the day for next-to-nothing from various flower vendors in the city. I handed them out to all the girls/women at the show and had a great time. Back to the topic at hand - We do something different every New Year's Eve as long as little or no driving is involved. Everything from parties to concerts to midnight bowling to skiing to benefits to ? This year a friend invited us to his restaurant for dinner in exchange for a bunch of my bootleg Pink Floyd DVDs and CDs. I would have given them to him anyway but it's just a reciprocation for other favors. Then we'll head over to the New Year's Eve Celebration in Carytown (Richmond, VA) where all the shops, restaurants, bars, etc. will be open until midnight or later. We've never done it so we'll give it a try. I hope everyone has an outstanding 2011!

This year - I had an old Flutie jersey and my wife sneaked it out of my drawer and had it sent to Doug and he autographed the front of it over the #7 with a brief message to me. She knew somebody that has worked with Doug before and got it done through him. I know the person too but never considered asking him to have Doug sign it. Very cool and Doug was a good sport about it.
