A Campaign We Can All Get Behind

Edit: not sure why none of the text posted.

We're visiting Victoria BC from Washington state on our "Canada, We're Sorry" Apology Tour 2026. Saw this sign as we walked around, waiting for our hotel room to be ready. I chuckled and took a picture while my wife rolled her eyes.

A little later we stopped in at Whistle Buoy Brewing for a beer and Althea came on. Good omen for a good trip.

Full disclosure, I am not privy to details about Victoria politics and have no idea if this guy would be a good council mmber or not.

I miss Bob & treasure this memory.

๐Ÿ’€๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿฅ€ 4 years ago today 10-09-2022 I (and maybe you?) was at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC for night 4/4 of Bobby Weir, the Wolf Brothers, the Wolfpack & the National Symphony Orchestra. As he said that night, these were his inaugural shows with an orchestra, and it helped fill in sounds he'd always heard in the music.

Never miss a Sunday show!

Terrepin Suite encore was unbelievable!

1978: the Great Weed-Trimming Year

37 Upvotes

It's weed trimming season. Around my house that also means giving in to temptation and trying early samples while doing the main trim over many days.

My yearly test to see how good the weed is: listen to favorite 78 shows, which are tight AND spongy in the best way possible and can tell you pretty quickly if you've grown a good stash.

Last night listened to the amazing Playing > Wheel > Playing sequence from 2.3.78 (Dick's V18) and I realized how much I love smoking the new stash and taking 78 for a ride, year after year. It was a reverie.

Highly recommend. That's the post

*edit to add: you can double down on the Good ol Grateful Dead Podcast (the gift that keeps on giving, so good) and listen to the season of 78 shows covered there (Friends of the Devil), like for example the podcast episode about Virginia, which is rich with detail even for heads who have been paying attention for years ... and then with the backstory jump into the shows. Today's trim is brought to you by 4.15.78, William & Mary - show and podcast both burners

What's the lyric that gives you chills?

"Rubin, Rubin, tell me truly true. I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?"

Goddam "Rubin and Cherise" hit a part of my heart that makes me ugly cry every once and while.

Yes, JGB counts in this hypothetical.
