The Poojer

thanks for the link, heard about the nytimes interviewing him, i will say as much as i love his interviews, he really does cut them off too often and interrupt them in the middle of them saying something, and I get he has to direct the interview so as to not get to tangential. Just sometimes gets annoying

I had a recruiter email me in response to a conversation we'd been having since last week. He asked me what $$ amount would entice me to make a move. Having a job made it easy to seriously inflate the amount. I'm OK where I am, but if they bite, I'd probably jump in a heartbeat

valley forge is a literally virtual pokemon breeding ground....screw history, i tried to catch em all

Just be vewwy vewwy quiet, better chance of bagging something

jaco was amazing, he's pretty legendary around the philly area

saw a whole slew of bands this weekend that fly under the radar but shouldn't, among my favorites of the 30+ that were at my festiva l(http://xpnfest.org/lineup/) Ryan Adams, probably not unknown, but certainly not as known as he should be Femi Kudi - legendary Afro-bear performer Fela Kudi(seriously, check them out) David Wax Museum OJR(Oliver John-Roberts), the Acid Cowboy The Districts

they've been doing the wheel a lot which is a good thing in my book, they are really taking the tempo down, probably to accommodate Bobby, but Mayer, Oteil and Chimenti are really adding a ton to the music. Love it when Oteil joins the Rhythm Devils, he is pretty amazing

isn't it great?? all those 'purists' who are snubbing them because of Mayer are really missing out on some damn good shows. On a funny note i read an article about the whole Mayer thing and there are people calling this band Dead & Bro, that made me laugh, i thought it was cleverly funny! http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1233-coming-to-grips-with-dead-bro-john-mayer-and-the-improbable-live-rebirth-of-the-grateful-dead/

HA!!! for the longest time, i couldn't stand Nick Cage BECAUSE of raising arizona, something about that movie just grated on my last nerve, as did he...i got over it though

yeah, it's underwhelming, rogue is pretty adventurous, but mostly in name and theory only, other than their voodoo donut series, rarely do they live up the hype, in my opinion

i've had the beard beer, weasel poop beer, have looked for the bull testicle beer, but can't find it around here. i'll pretty much give anything a shot....except radishes, they can rot in hell

curious as to why you choose to go the route of abandoning something you love instead of seeking out tossing some beaver salad....seems like a glass half empty kind of attitude

while it is mostly true, i just read that the amount of castoreum consumers consume per year is roughly 292 pounds total, so i am pretty sure they found alternatives, you are safe, and hell, up to 5 minutes ago you loved it....don't be scared.

i checked the google machine and it appears to be a pretty accurate thing, i want to know who the first person to discover it was....

also foolish for wanting to be married...but that's a whole other topic

then you'd be pissed at the band members because as you point out, you go for front row!

oh they did it in philly when i was there, but this tour he is making it a point to bring people up on stage based on signs they bring, i find that very foolish http://www.jambase.com/article/paul-mccartney-brings-fans-stage-marriage-proposal-philadelphia

Audience members get pulled onstage and propose to each other, seems he does this routine at most shows.

Almost looked like the koala was trying to hide behind the pole.

pretty cool

blackbird was awesome but i kept hearing fred armisen in my head , and i, too had plenty of tears in my eyes during a bunch of songs

the wedding proposals are all schtick to me, i could do without that kind of ****. by far the most memorable(visually at least) was the fire cannons and fireworks display during a raucous version of live and let die, probably the most emotionally memorable was hearing Hey Jude live and being able to actually 'sing along' with a f***ing Beatle!

HA! I see what you did there!

Looking forward to hearing your review!

i hope you enjoy the dead & company show, i have loved the last 2 tours, the philly show was outstanding
