You’ve got this. Have an amazing show.

Did you just have tooth extracted or something? I’m sorry life isn’t allowing you to experience your happy things right now. I’ve been off the bike for a few weeks dealing with a back/hip thing and I can sympathize with your frustrations on that front. Hope you can get back at it ASAP.

Missed Billy Huntsville for the first time in years, didn’t skip it for WSP Milwookie, and also didn’t see the free Keller show a 1/2 mile from my job and home. Owning a Liquor Store in a college town during Homecoming is so incredibly stupid. I hope these kids had fun because I certainly did not.

And to boot I missed a free Keller Dead PettyGrass show a 1/2 mile from my job. Fucking homecoming in a college town and a no call, no show employee. That guy ain’t getting a jar full of nuggets on his one year anniversary. Can’t win ‘em all.

Hell yeah!! I miss that guy a whole lot. My old venue was one of the first big places Yonder played outside of ChamBana. Jeff was a really amazing dude and I was very lucky to get to see him a lot. The What the Night Brings Benefit is one of the highlight moments of my live music career.

First Huntsville I’ve missed in years. And of course there’s the freaking Robin I’ve been pining for. One thing is for certain, my boys had an absolute blast tonight and they had extra boogie room with my empty seat next to them. Great show!!

We sell quite a bit of n/a beer/ cocktails, hop water, and a fucking silly amount of delta hemp drinks.

In my most serious James Brown voice Gooooood Gaaahhhhdddd! First time I’ve missed Huntsville in years. I gave my seats away to work a college homecoming weekend at a liquor store for a manager that needed emergency surgery. If this happens I’m laughing and crying myself to sleep tonight.

There are a ton of craft breweries making really great hop waters. I was just thinking about the nationally available sorta easy options. I drink a lot of hop water and n/a these days and I’m always into new options. I just checked Union’s website, doesn’t look like they ship or retail near me.

In other breaking news: water is wet, Jerry was good at guitar, and weed is wonderful. I really don’t want to agree with you but I’m also not blind.

I give every employee a big jar of nuggets on their yearly anniversaries of employment. This probably only works when you employee a shit load of college aged stoners at a liquor store.

Dang, some really super fine trichs. Have you ever tried washing that strain for hash?

Again… same. Pretty sure Wilfred Brimley is trying to call me about my diabetic testing supplies.

Like I said I’m from a weird town with an at times gnarly history with Halloween. Your mileage may vary on the holiday association. It’s a pretty solid DK song either way. youtu.be/wPDawD7HFU4?...

DK Halloween is a good one. It’s on my wife’s “spooky” playlist a couple times. I’m from a screwed up little college town with a long fucked up history with Halloween. My brain default also associates the songs Riot and Police Truck with the holiday.

If you’re on insta you should check out the Staabpirate profile. He shares a ton of old decks and reissues of old designs. The decks are super pricey but they’re fun to look at and reminisce about. He always put out sweet designs on his signature boards. Thanks for sharing that one, it’s fucking rad

They’re great for weeding out the door to door weirdos. Clicks talk button… ummmm ma’am I’m not interested in your pamphlet but have you ever heard the gospel of Jerome John Garcia? If you’d like to come back around 4:20 we can discuss it in much greater detail.

This is the small bit of good news I needed to help start my Tuesday. Now the long countdown to November 21st begins. Can’t wait to hear a clean live version of Mama Roux from Mac’s prime years. Glad this is being released in its entirety. Hooray for live music.

Yeah, I was just looking at that and thinking the same thing. Why push the start to Friday and a potential game 7 all the way to November 1st when the pennant wraps today? Weird.

I’ll wait for the receipt checker if they have an actual clerk scanning and a bagger bagging. If I have to ring that shit up without an employee discount I’m trustworthy enough to not be stopped for verification.
