Thanks for that.

I'd say about 95% of comedians don't make me laugh. I start thinking perhaps I lack a sense of humor. Then I listen to Carlin, and I laugh many times. I'm not sure what my point is. Carlin will definitely always bne one of the GOATS.

that is very ironic as you seem to make 95% of this board laugh 97% of the time.

I wish people, would spell out, greatest of all time, when speaking in words. It's a nice statement to just say, instead of goat.  Who wants to be, a goat?

I call Carlin a comedian but in many ways he was so much more…It’s kind of revolting to give him the same job title as say Ron White. I had the honor of seeing and hearing Carlin once just around the same time this clip is from… I was volunteer ushering at the Warner Theatre and once you helped seat everyone you could see the show… Anyways it was the only time I saw him - I don’t really do comedy shows-and I wasn’t that familiar with him other than him being a cranky old man in Dogma and also I think in the 90s he had some sitcom on TV…. In any case saw him about 2005 and he was so sharp, incisive and impressive…(I think him and Gore Vidal are my favorite observers of this at times infuriating country. Miss them both.. I think they would have seen the Trump years as the crystallization of their lifetime of social and cultural observation. I don’t think it would have made Carlin happy but Gore probably would have felt vindicated and….happy.)

A couple of years after seein Carlin at the Warner I swear to god he ran by me on the street in a tracksuit around 15th and N NW about a block from where I lived about four in the afternoon. I think it was a few months before he died of yet another heart attack… my theory was he was staying at a hotel nearby while performing his last shows at the Warner but I never researched any of this so maybe I made it all up. I know I already wrote this on this board but am writing it again as a way to remember it.

I think Carlin saw and understood the US as it really is as opposed to how we are socialized, conditioned and, frankly, brainwashed into seeing it…as opposed to how we want - no - need to see it to not go insane….because this place is a little crazy. We want to believe we matter and our life has purpose and hope

Oh, Sheetz!

Sheetz to drop gas prices through end of Independence Day travel

Too bad for me that they're nowhere nearby. Your move, Wawa.

I found it super difficult to determine if my two vehicles can even use this gas. Very contradictory info.

It's cheaper, because of the water.

You're revealing a great lack of knowledge of central VA geography if you think I live by Petersburg. That's like 45 minutes.

WTF?

you mean they bestowed upon you a PDF of what an actual, physical ticket might look like?!?

i was just thinking about physical tickets… i have a big pile of ticket stubs from my concert-going hayday.  i always made a point of saving them, and in cases where i had a PDF print-out i'd seek out an actual stub.  does anyone still issue physical tickets?  last 3-4 shows i've attended were phone/app only.

The last phish show I attended were electronic tickets but you could check a box to get a cool stub mailed to you post show.

However, the date isn't actually correct as the shows were postponed from New Years due to covid to be moved to April to create a super spreader event.

It looks more like a backstage pass, but yeah, essentially it's an NFT picture of a ticket.

I have the same shoebox of 35+ years of seeing concerts. Every once in a while, I get some energy about trying to find a storage / display solution, but there they are, still in the shoebox.

Keep me abreast of your plans as well. It's been on my to do list since 1995.

Here's a bunch of ideas. None really resonate, though I do like the idea of the glass top coffee table (or possibly the lamp). The slightly disorganized display makes it seem a bit like a treasure hunt, while the "front and faced" look of a poster has less visual interest.

Also, the drum? Ummm, no.
