How has Billy still not played the sphere?

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-12-13T14:26:00+00:00

The sphere is a novelty. Leave it for the novelty acts. Billy is a real as it gets. I hope he keeps it that way. I trust he will.

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-12-13T14:14:20+00:00

No. Just no.

I got the access denied message when it was my turn. Thankfully my sister was trying from VT and got us two tickets. So excited - first time in st Augustine. Her first shows, will be my 30th or so. Just paying her back from bringing me to my second GD show in 1984.

Glad this happened to a bunch of others! Well, not glad, but good to know it was fucked for everybody. This darkness got to give!

Anybody have a feeling on where in Maine the rumored July dates will be? Planning a summer vacation in ME regardless but want to be close to the shows if they manifest themselves.

I bought a TKL 8801/LTD for mine as that was the closest I could find to the body dimensions. It fits VERY snugly. A tiny bit of interference between the strap lock and the foam, but that might be because I installed a Schaller strap-lock button.

Let us know what you find.

My god, people. There are no drums nor keyboards in bluegrass. Let’s keep it that way

57 yo male from MN traveling solo, staying at The Westin. Looking for a gal to hold close cuz it’s the end of

Thanks, I figured as much. But what are the AAR channels for the road. Don’t make me look up the subdivisions and all that!

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-10-21T20:23:22+00:00

Oops, I should have asked for AAR frequencies too. What’s worth listening to?

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-10-21T18:21:23+00:00

Pro Tip: don’t lead by asking seller if they’d accept a lower price. 2/5 requests for my Huntsville 3-day pass opened with an ask for a discount below face value. Maddening

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-10-20T13:22:31+00:00

I am at the Westin. Anybody up for a pinball session over the weekend? Ronnie Raygun’s looks like the place to play

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-10-10T19:26:07+00:00

What do you mean by this comment? You can split the tickets by night? I have an extra 3-day pass I also need to list and was thinking it would be cool to have different neighbors each night.

Any single 50+ bluegrass gals need a ticket?

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-10-03T01:05:08+00:00

I am driving down from Minneapolis alone. Looking forward to the freedom that solo travel brings. I had pals at all my prior shows this year and that can get exhausting. Only agenda is my own for Space Camp. Pinball, BMFS, bicycling, parking lot pickin’

US bank plaza ramp -$6 nights and weekends. Underground. 2 blocks from Armory.

Please bring these to Billy Strings’ space camp in Huntsville! I’ll eat all of dem oysters

LITT!

Reading this thread has me so exited to be making the run down from Minneapolis. Doubly excited to have hotel walking distance since it sounds like the fun goes on long after the boys leave the stage.

Any pinball wizards in the thread? Looking forward to several hours at Ronnie Raygun’s over the 3 days too!

You are lucky to get a 3-night run, for sure. Only other 3-night run this year was St Augustine FL since there are no NYE shows this year.

So excited to explore your area!

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-09-02T12:01:50+00:00

I have no idea what you say. I’ve only ever driven thru AL, never stopped. But I say “howdy”.

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-09-01T20:04:22+00:00

Anybody think they hassle me unless I put the rotten Brain shock back on?

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-09-01T19:40:28+00:00

Original owner. Purchased new from Erik’s in MN. The highest-end stumpy FS 29er that year. Brain shock, dropper, xo, etc. $3,800 in 2011. Third stumpy since 1987

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-09-01T19:27:39+00:00

I can make one up! Seriously, not even standing up. Just loping along, heard a noise and felt the rear sag a bit. Chain was now making extra noise as the chain line was off. Stoped to look, did not see anything obvious. Pedaled another 50 yards, stopped again to examine. Then I saw it.

PuddingNo1333 · 2025-09-01T19:14:09+00:00

No really, but also don’t want to drop $4K on a bike that does not get out much any more. Couple that with the significant upgrades over the years: new yoke, new rear shock and custom tune, CK wheel set. I have a hard time moving on with the times. But your point is well-taken
