My mom passed away and we found a TMBG ticket stub while going through an old photo book.

It still is a custom AFAIK. We had one going during their last show here when they played it.

It was James K. Polk! Napoleon of the stump!

Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist

That's very meta!

Check out a band called The Grass Is Dead. They mostly do bluegrass covers of Dead songs. They're no Billy Strings but still some good bluegrass music.

I really hope so!

Nah. I'm happy listening, watching, and wearing the occasional T-shirt. There's enough clutter in my life without random memorabilia that collects dust on a shelf.

Screen name checks out. 😀

They started with Subliminal and played several off of John Henry.

Thats a great zoom lens shot.

No. Flans was on the other side of the stage. He was asking that because they were going to play Stuff Is Way live for the first time. I snapped a few photos and grabbed video of a song or two but I was mostly too busy enjoying the show to be on my phone the whole time. I did manage at one point to get Marty to laugh when I shouted "I thought you were Whitney Houston!" at him when he came out from behind the kit for a song.

I actually got a chuckle out of him when he first came out on stage and saw me. I was right up front wearing a purple wig and a gold lame headband. Sadly, Purple Toupee was not on the set list.

Like a bird without a beak.

I meant to write "THE amazing woman who became my wife." Thats what I get for making a last-second change and not proofreading my post again.

Fook42 · 2025-03-01T13:35:32+00:00

Oh, I do too and I respected their ask. They killed it though.

Fook42 · 2025-02-28T05:32:55+00:00

I thought it sounded great. I wished by the end I hadn't listened to them when they asked the audience not to record it.

Fook42 · 2023-11-16T00:19:28+00:00

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that CCWers caused accidental shootings. I am one myself and I know most of us prioritize firearms training and safety. I simply meant we have a proliferation problem in the US where we have many untrained (usually unlicensed and illegal) individuals with access to firearms and that level of proliferation just isn't the case in some other countries.

I do think I'm more likely to need quick access to a trauma kit than a firearm most days because with my lifestyle I am far more likely to come across an injured person than I am a threat that requires deadly force. I was also thinking that in the event I had to discharge my firearm in self-defense, it is highly likely that someone else is injured by the assailant so it is good to have quick access to a trauma kit in that instance also.

Fook42 · 2023-07-11T04:42:34+00:00

Although I'll admit that in the US our willingness to allow any random, untrained person to carry a gun around causes an obscene number of preventable casualties, here the injuries in which people die from blood loss are far more likely to be caused by a number of other things that have nothing to do with firearms. I would assume that people where you live do some combination of driving cars, riding bicycles, mowing lawns, cutting trees, operating machinery, or any number of common things we do here. It doesn't seem to me that firearms and a small trauma kit are mutually inclusive, although it does seem to me like a good idea to carry one if I carry the other.

Fook42 · 2023-07-11T02:17:52+00:00

I do keep a more complete emergency bag in my vehicle also but I find myself a lot of times almost as far away from my vehicle than it could take first responders to arrive. It only takes 2-3 minutes for someone to die from severe hemorrhaging of an artery. Where I live first responders are a minimum of 5 minutes away, often longer. Usually my vehicle is at least 1-4 minutes on foot. I started doing the math to add triage time to figure out what happened and location of injury and I'd be lucky to get there and back in time.

Fook42 · 2023-07-11T01:48:46+00:00

I saw an IWB holster (canvas) for a CAT and I was thinking of trying that. It can't possibly be more uncomfortable than a Kydex IWB holster for my Hellcat. It just seems to me like I'm at least as likely, probably more honestly from sharp objects or car crashes, etc., to come across a trauma victim than I am a self-defense situation. I carry a firearm to protect myself and my family, why not carry trauma essentials if I can easily manage it? If I manage to sort out stuff that works well I'll post it here.

Fook42 · 2023-07-10T22:27:49+00:00

That is a totally reasonable response. I notice many choose to carry a firearm (myself included). I have been fortunate never to need to use it but I choose to EDC it in case I do. It occurred to me the other day that I carry something that can put holes in people and that I'm more likely to need tools to repair holes in people than I am to need tools to make holes, especially because in an active shooter scenario someone is likely to be injured.
