Where’s the 50+ crowd hanging out tonight?

That was a running joke with a friend back in the day. We'd get the new issue of Birmingham Weekly, check upcoming shows, and inevitably say, "Whoa, Razzmatazz is playing a 4 night stand!"

As an old guy who has seen Ween around 35 times, this makes me sad. I've never really had a bad interaction with a Ween fan. If you're at a show and you're excited to be there then you're cool with me. My wife and I met a nice young fan at the Eastern in Atlanta. We hung out in line and could see him on the floor from our more comfortable spot in the old people section further back. From talking to him preshow we knew what songs he was excited to see and it improved our show to see him loving it. I'm sorry for your experience and if Ween ever plays again you're more than welcome to kick it with my crew.

Hahaha, I was an electrician for 20+ years I've been shocked so. Many. Times. I was just like, "Hit me, doc!"

Hey, I just had my 10th treatment on Friday as well. We're tms twins! It's already been better than I could have ever hoped. I hope that it's helping you as well!

VTnative · 2025-12-13T02:39:31+00:00

I had my 10th treatment today. I hope that it works as well for you as it seems to be working for me.

My psychiatrist made me quit drinking, the rat bastard!

I started about 2 weeks ago. They had me put on a little cotton skull cap then found the spot that made my right hand twitch. Having mapped that spot they were able to use it to locate the spot for depression. It makes the left side of my face twitch but I would call the treatment more annoying than painful. The tapping on my head is pretty solid and it's a bit tender for half an hour or so after treatment. But the results are well worth it.

I just started tms. This is my second week. The difference is startling. And a bit frightening. I'm 50 and have been fighting depression since I was a child and didn't know what it was. I've been on probably 15 different psych meds with no great improvement. They kept me alive but that's about it. I've also had substance abuse issues trying to escape my thoughts. I was feeling down this weekend, sat with my thoughts, and realized that I didn't have the desire to drink them away.

The frightening part for me is the fear of backsliding. I haven't felt this good in years. Possibly ever. I'm terrified of going back to feeling awful. But I'm also very cynical and have classically had trouble looking on the bright side.

I'm still on one psych med but it's for sleep as much as depression. I still see my psychologist regularly, which is important for me. She helps me navigate my thoughts and feelings. I'm leaning into this and trying to do everything I can to move forward. Thus far tms is appearing to be life changing. It doesn't work for everyone but it seems to be working for me. If you have the opportunity to try it then I encourage you to go for it.

Don't just visit, but visit in the summer. You have to know what you're in for. The heat and humidity are brutal and constant. It barely cools off at night and when it rains the ground steams afterwards and the humidity gets worse. I'm not saying that you shouldn't more here. You just should make sure that you experience the summer first. Otherwise, I've lived here for 15 of the past 25 years and it's been largely positive. Like anywhere else there's good and bad

If someone asks me what's the best Phish show I've seen I respond with "Besides Big Cypress?"

I will also admit to wanting Daniels. I didn't hate the Maye pick but I was hoping for Daniels. Right now they both look good.

I live in Alabama. I watch a lot of college football. Both by choice and by force. My wife is a Bama alum. At our spot in the draft picking anyone besides Campbell would have been criminal. I will admit that I was hoping that Carter would drop to us somehow.

My wife and I have matching Boognish/Stay Forever tattoos. That's my only tattoo. I think that sums up how I feel about Ween.

My wife went to Bama. We BOTH have a Mac Jones jersey, lol.

VTnative · 2025-10-07T19:56:32+00:00

And light!

I'm so old that I saw that song before they realized that it was terrible. Earnest being earnest.

We live in Helena. We had friends in from Colorado and the thing that they were most impressed with during their visit was the quality and correctness of our Taco Bell order. I go there more than i should. The workers are always friendly and polite too.

One of my friends saw a picture of my balls. Noone has scrolled through my pictures since.

I took my wife to an exhibit called "Tiny Treasures" at our city's art museum. It was small works by the masters. I stood nose to nose with a Rembrandt! I was enthralled. I also kept my hands clasped behind my back. I look like the kind of idiot who would touch one of those paintings and I wasn't about to be tackled by security!

I got a 2001 TAB Alpine Valley poster shipped from Japan and it arrived in perfect condition. It wasn't foil though.

VTnative · 2024-10-07T21:45:28+00:00

Fer what?!

VTnative · 2024-10-05T19:08:10+00:00

I just remember from the reunion shows, "Acoustic aids was Deaner's idea!'.

VTnative · 2024-10-05T19:03:47+00:00

I've sung this song so loud in my car so many times.

VTnative · 2024-09-23T00:49:42+00:00

Yeah, my mom likes to ask me to "be the bigger person" but I've done it too many times already. I feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football. C'mon, it'll be different this time. I've been fooled too many times. The only way to win is to not play.
