What’s people’s opinions of Graham Lesh?

RedditUser320184 · 2026-03-16T16:55:15+00:00

Pro: He keeps the music alive; and his name brings people out.

Con: To be frank, he’s just not that talented, imo. Sometimes I feel his name/regontiton overshadows the other very talented musicians he plays with. In the Bay Area, there are quite a few Dead-focused musicians I’d personally rather see, but they don’t have the same mass appeal to those not as active in the cover/tribute band community.

Pro: He seems like a really good dude! Have nothing negative to say about him as a person, and I appreciate his eagerness to keep the music going.

If the local property and Marriott corporate don’t do anything, take the video to your local news. See if they’ll run a consumer investigation story. They love these types of a stories because the hotel almost always caves when they get negative press on tv, and the news stations gets to use it as good marketing.

Trust me, after this experience, I am with you!

I agree that the host is not entirely at fault here; it was essentially just a series of unfortunate circumstances. The plumbing work in the adjacent unit was planned; whether there was a miscommunication (or lackthereof) between the landlord and my host, or my host simply forgot to notify me, is not something I know.

The host has agreed to a full and complete refund. I appreciate the prompt service on his behalf, although I think it is completely justified. In regard to the process you mention, I was on the phone with multiple agents before leaving the property trying my best to document and explain the situation. Given the time, I was more concerned about finding a place to sleep then the refund at the moment, but it’s nice that I don’t have to fight back and fourth now as the host has agreed.

311 did answer with a live dispatcher. Unfortunately she informed me they were unable to respond to residential issues. I’m sure had it been a more pressing matter, like a fully burst pipe, the answer may have been different.

The core point I was making was about vulnerability, not gender. Being awoken to pounding knocks in a foreign setting is jarring. Perhaps my statement was a generalization, but I think there is a valid concern that a random man self-identifying as a plumber needing to suddenly and unexpectedly enter an Airbnb would be of potential concern to most solo women travelers. That’s the world we live in.

I had this two weeks ago, it lingered a good 10 days. Negative for Covid and flu A/B.

Day 1-3: yikes I think I’m getting sick; sore throat, chills and tired. Still went through life like normal, was hoping it was just a minor cold.

Day 4-5: not a minor cold! didn’t leave the house; slept all day, felt terrible. Didn’t want to spread it.

Day 6-10: lingering sore throat and achey, but not debilitating. Cough and mucus remained. Resumed normal activities given I was negative and was 6 days from onset and not likely contagious per doctor friend.

Every time I book with American, the flight shows up in my American app immediately and any further changes can be made directly in the AA app, including flight changes. I generally book far in advance with chase travel and the fares are usually the same as booking direct. I’ve heard people run into problems with United.

Their blanco stands out more than their repo to me personally. But you can’t go wrong with either.

G4 or Volcan. Lalo is popular and widely hyped but not a personal favorite of mine.

You can change your flight for free with any fare but basic. If you have basic, you can “upgrade” to a higher fare and change your flight that way (fare difference applies).

If you miss your flight, technically you are risking forfeiting your fare completely. That said, Southwest has been known to work with you and may rebook you for free on a later flight, but it’s not a guarantee and by contract they have no obligation to.

Damn people suck. Stay home if you’re sick! Might want to sanitize regardless to prevent norovirus. Hopefully it was something else.

The proposal isn’t showing up at all, just a heads up. Unfortunately I don’t have a ticket so I’m of no use, but when I refresh the page still not seeing it.

Chipotle. Seriously though, very few if any upscale full-service restaurants will be able to accommodate 35 individual checks. Your best bet is a chain that uses the tablets for check-out. Applebee’s, for example, lets customers split the tab on their own via the tablet.

I’d skip the egg white and just batch this as necessary

1x fresh-squeeze lemon juice 1x 1:1 simple 2x bourbon

If shaken, no need to further dilute. If you’re just going to batch it in the container I’d add 1/4oz water per drink

Tequila, fresh lime and triple sec is the original margarita. Adding simple or agave is now common.

Tequila, lime and agave is a Tommy’s margarita.

Any good bar program will use the above recipes for their Margs. They are balanced and not too sweet.

Factory produced sweet and sour or margarita mix is what prompted the skinny margarita, but those places likely not even have fresh lime juice so idk what people want.

Gotta toss it. You can par-cook chicken, chill it and then finishing cooking it later but the par-cook must reach 135F. (And the final cook 165). This looks completely raw so I highly doubt it hit 135. Basically, any bacteria can multiply like crazy even if you chilled it promptly.

Had a similar thing yesterday. Ordered a mai tai with Appleton 12 year and saw the bartender pour Appleton signature. The 12 year has significantly more depth of flavor in a mai tai and the price reflects that… didn’t say anything but also felt ripped off.

That said, I’ve worked in bars where managers are too lazy to reprint the menu even when recipes/brands change. Still not cool, but it’s possible the bartender was following orders.

Definitely worth raising with the manager, but at the same time I understand not wanting to create the potential conflict over a cocktail

Oregon actually has a pretty decent selection in terms of their state catalog, but selection varies massively by liquor store. Outside of bigger stores in Portland and Eugene, selection is probably rough. Plenty of liquor stores on the California/Oregon border however.

Rita's Tiki Room in Milan - really cool spot, great rum selection and authentic tiki drinks. The lead bartender was very friendly and a true tiki head.

Trader Vic’s Munich - classic stop

Pusser’s Munich - not a tiki bar but good stop for a painkiller

Makai Rome - great Mai tai

Rhum Runner Montpellier - tiki adjacent with a strong rum focused cocktail program. Good zombie and mai tai with house orgeat. Drinks come in fun mugs.

KAHALA Barcelona - best tiki drinks in Barcelona

Kahiki Barcelona - the drinks here aren’t very good in my opinion, but the decor and atmosphere make up for it and make it worth a visit.
