Should of seen what my gf listened to mostly before hand. She been learning a lot from being around me. I dunno what she does while I'm not with her, but she don't complain much while I listen to stuff. Except bluegrass, like Trampled by Turtles for example.
I took her to see Umphrey's McGee on date 5. Moe. a few weeks later. Shpongle last month. And looking forward to Newport Folk and Gentlemen of the Road.
too much work to get done before Roo. B een working all weekend and dont feel like Im putting a dent into it at all. Ugh dont wanna have anything to stress/worry bout as Im trying to get ready to leave
Mountain Jam was a pretty good time. I just wish I saw more, but the whole rain and early sleeping habits hurt that effort. Rain rain fuck off. I want to see Steve Winwood tonight.
Also was pretty lonely this weekend. Wish I had Inforoosters up here to watch shows and drink beers with.
My brother was arrested again tonight. 3rd DUI in 6 months. My Mom, who is watching my kids, is all torn up. I'm stuck between telling her to let him sit in there a few days and knowing how awful it is. Not only will he be in jail for X amount of days but he will be going through a rough detox off xanax, he's prone to seizures, and he gets very depressed and cries when he's coming down.

My brother is the.. troubled.. one in my family too. Long history of drugs, accidents, jail time, stealing, lying... I've gotten phone calls from the Hartford police more times than I would like to admit. My brother knows I am the pushover and usually goes to me first. But yeah Abra, I TOTALLY feel you. It's so hard to be in that situation.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I got a call from one of my best friends this morning (who I never get to talk to) which I thought was going to be a Yay! at first, but as it turns out, one of her other really close friends passed away last night. I knew him through her, and we volunteered at the same American Cancer Society summer camp for 4 years back when I was in college. I knew he had been having some health problems, but I just saw him last month at the Clutch show in Chattanooga, and he certainly did not look like a guy who had a month left. He was cracking jokes and seemed like the same guy from when I first met him. Apparently, he went into the hospital Friday night. His kidneys shut down. He went into a coma, and his family made the decision to end life support last night. This is the second person I have known who has died in the last week. Both of them were in their 30s. Along with Abra's post above, this had made me think a bunch about perspective today and how things that are inconsequential aren't something to stress over just because everything is going good. I was stressing like hell because I couldn't find a pair of shorts last night which is silly especially when someone's family was making that decision on their loved one's life right then.

My granny is really sick. My mom went down to Savannah last week to pick her up to bring her back to TN to visit for awhile. While I was at Roo I got a call from my mom saying that my granny was at the hospital with really congested lungs. She had a long battle with TB and was finally declared in remission about a year ago. They did a procedure Monday to flush her lungs out and then yesterday she was rushed to the hospital. She is hospitalized now with pneumonia. They said her heart, lungs, and kidneys are weak and the prognosis isn't good. Please send any spare good vibes you have left over from Bonnaroo. My granny is a true matriarch in every sense of the word and my family will be broken when we lose her.

I saw how sad you got whenever you got that message, Sarah. My family went through something similar with my grandmother a few years ago. It's really hard to watch someone who has been so strong for your whole life get sick like that.

My heart goes out to all of you who have lost love ones or have loved ones in pain.
This year has effing sucked. In March, my bass player, songwriting partner and friend died of esophageal cancer. We moved in January and before we left, we all went out to dinner and drinks and he was as healthy and happy as ever...then a month later, just gone. Two weeks after that, my aunt and the man who was close to a grandfather as I ever knew died in the same week. And now, just as we were starting to heal, another dear friend is succumbing to cancer at 48. In the midst of this, my Dad got a pacemaker and my brother is having tons of problems. And we moved 600 miles away and I switched jobs twice, and I've been in intensive physical therapy for like 7 of the past 12 months.
I know there's folks who've got it way worse, but I really needed to vent all that. Thanks.

I've been trying to get a summer job for a while now, and I applied somewhere two weeks ago and the manager said he would talk to me later. I took that as a good thing, cause two of my friends work there and said they can help me get the job. Anyway, I called last week to see how the application was coming along and the guy who answered said the manager wasn't in. No big deal, probably just out or something. I called again today, same guy answers and says the manager isn't there again. I mean I know it's just a small job at a pizza joint, but I could really use the money
