You know that just reminded me. Next Friday the 29th playing in Middletown (La Boca). I never play that close to home. Should be crazy. and its a Free show. (I guess that doesnt matter as I always list Yarders anyway.) so anyway @Dove says hes coming and said we should get you up there too. Furthermore did not @Deepster say he had a Pizza chef hookup in Middletown that would makes us a Spooker? Lets get on that. and if that happens obviously @mauconnfan would fly across country much less drive down 91 for a chance at the spooker. @Huskybass has been threatening to come out for a while, that would be a good time, and I picture @alexd smuggling in some good beers for everyone (not sure what they are pouring at La Boca, Im sure Alex has better)

Im smelling a BY meetup.
 
Seems like this wont be an issue and that is good, but snow games can be fun. I want to say it was a game against Pitt in my era as a student 200-2005, where a massive blizzard hit but the team got to town, and literally no one came to the game so the ticket office let the student body know that basically any student could come to the game for dirt cheap. I feel like it was a weekend game and one of the oddest and rowdiest crowds. Storms make people (kids) crazy I guess

In.

ETA: @August_West , On a somewhat related note, I heard Jerry's "Magnificent Sanctuary Band" on Deep Tracks on my drive to work this morning and it made me wonder why I don't hear that covered more often. Do you ever get after that? I was also thinking that it would be a perfect cover for the Tedeschi Trucks Band, especially seeing as Susan covered it on one of her solo albums. I don't know of TTB ever playing it though.

Actually I think we are the only band in the country that does it. Not kidding. Although maybe a couple more now, because at request I shared my charts I wrote for it on a Dead-centric musician message board and I know for sure a friends band in Mass gave it at least one whack off those charts. I love the song. It is a very tough, cumbersome song to actually perform. (quick, non standard changes, and a TON of them, and a very specific arrangement that needs to be to be rote. Unlike a lot of that material, this is not a song you "open up" as a jam vehicle. If you have 5-6 band members and if just one of them is lazy about being spot on about the arrangement it falls apart quickly. Even we havent played it in at least a year and Im sure the next time we do it will be rough. (unless we sneak a rehearsal in first, which never happens) There is a reason Jerry never played it live. Such a great song, and TTB would kill it. They have the discipline to hang on the arrangement.

The AAC said Georgetown is now flying to Hartford earlier Friday for Saturday's game against UConn while SMU is planning on getting into Philadelphia earlier for the Temple game Saturday. The AAC said officials have been confirmed they will make it for both games.

I was there (as a student) as well. Ended up with unbelievable seats, half court, maybe 8 rows back. I believe they lost that night though unfortunately...

ha yeah.... we start at 930 -1000 :-)

I played acoustic at the Bee and Thistle in Old Lyme last wednesday from 7-9. That sounds more your speed. :-) It was fish out of water for me though. Old hippie plays in front of the 1%'ers in a ultra stuffy environ. Not a garden variety gig for me (my dinner was great though!)

This sounds like it could be a fun time to meet up with some of you losers. How about if people come around 8:30 and have a chance to get together and badmouth Fishy (assuming he won't come) and talk some UConn hoops?

Man how could I forget you? Of course! sounds like a good idea. We still need Deepster to weigh in on Spooker availability. a spooker could possibly turn an already fun gathering to one of legendary proportions.
 
Keep me updated also, live in Wallingford so it's not really far at all. I have tentative plans next weekend with the fiancé but it may change.

Spooker is a done deal. I don't care if I have to blow my wife off and spend 100 for UBER between August and a Spooker (amongst you wonderful cyber friends) I'm in!
 
I called the ticket office asking for a refund or a voucher last Monday and they said no. I'm pretty pissed that I dropped a good amount of coin for 6 tickets as a birthday present to my dad. Anyone know if I can get anywhere by writing a strongly worded email to the athletic department? I'm not trying to be a b1tch and I understand games in January always have this chance but I'm young and poor. Any chance they can give me "credit" or something for other uconn athletic events?

EDIT: also coming from Fairfield County which is supposed to get dumped on.

i got tickets for my dad's 60th, and also in FFC, not sure what im gonna do, i may make an attempt but it will be a bitch to get back
 
Well I hope the storm isn't as bad as now predicted for Connecticut and you guys can make the game. We only had a dusting and some black ice in the ATL.
 
Are there no hotels in downtown Hartford?
 
I live in Ffld Cty myself. Planned on driving up and staying over as we've done it before. Went to the gym this morning and it was a fun ride home. Looks like TV for us. Not happy about it at all but it's just nasty out there. Go Huskies!!!!!
 
Just seen about 4 accidents on my ride from Branford to Madison via route 80 (2 accidents on 80 by race hill rd that hill going up to the circle)

Slow and steady people. Drive safely
 
It's ok unless of course you guys not going are on of the only ones who make noise in Hartford. If we have the 8,000 people who sit with their thumbs up their respective a***s the kids will once again feed off of nothing.

No matter and be safe, don't drink and drive seriously. It may not be your fault today!
