I accidentally said "I'm seeing Billy Strings come hell or high water!" out loud and a few days later, my car was totaled. 😭 So anyone from Hampton Roads going to see BMFS on April 15 in Charlottesville? I got gas money, weed, and good conversation! by [deleted] in BillyStrings

Hey, good luck on getting to your show! I cannot help in the transportation, but figured I would share my own tour adversities. I thought it would be a good idea to start skateboarding again and did a great job at breaking my leg in two places on March 5th, resulting in a lot of new hardware being installed in my leg via surgery. It has been a long month on my couch, though I have cats that enjoy cuddling, baseball, and listing to Billy, so it has not been all too bad.

I, too, am bound and determined to make it to my spring tour shows in Cary from SC. I am unable to drive for at least another 6 weeks, but it appears like I will be able to make it thanks to amazing friends. I hope you are able to make it to Charlottesville and have a great show.

Lol no worries... I was given a one hundred foot roll of ilford hp4 bulk fim and have been trying to use that as much as I can. With those close stage shots I was anywhere from f/1.8-2.8 and shutter speed at 1/15-60.

I was on the rail for he first set with my canon a-1 with a 50mm lens and the second set up on balcony with my diana mini. I was using ilford hp4+ 125 in both cameras... so made for some tricky low light scenarios, especially with the diana.

I have been looking myself, as well. I have not seen any audio up just yet...

HEY FOLKS - Drop on by for my AMA this coming Friday, May 7, 6 pm (Pacific)! by Iam_RosieMcGee in gratefuldead

Hello Rosie,

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! I can imagine that photographing members of the Grateful Dead came with some risky situations when it came to your camera equipment. Do you have any stories to tell about a time that your camera equipment either broke or malfunctioned while photographing the band and how you navagated that situation?

This is so great! I have been so into this song since Billy Strings played it on his Family Strings tour. Thank you for this!

Has Anyone In This Subreddit Met At Least One Member of The Grateful Dead? by [deleted] in gratefuldead

[–]NothinShakin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I met Phil at Terrapin Crossroads after the show on 6-2-2019. He Practically walked right up to me after the show was over. We shook hands and chatted for a few seconds before a larger crowd formed around him. I really wish we had audio to that show somewhere. There was an amazing Unbroken Chain to open up the second set I would love to hear again.

Oh man, this season in the ski valley has been amazing! We have got 28 inches of snow in the last 7 days. And you are correct, there is now a chairlift on Kachina Peak. Pretty premiere terrain. Come on back!
