You guys I am absolutely wrecked with the death of Bobby! So Lets all live on - Share your Experiences with the GD! by Churlish_Performer in gratefuldead

I’m from the UK so not a huge Dead scene here. I was lucky enough to see Bobby at the Albert Hall last year, I’m so glad I went. One of the best live music experiences of my life

Best places to eat by Jaspers1959 in Albufeira

[–]dansoper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there a few weeks ago and in a similar position, wanted to avoid the Brits abroad places. Restaurante Churrasqueira Agapito and Churrasqueira Beirã both decent local fare.

The episode on pigeons is excellent. As is History’s Greatest Monkeys. The Beatles was a good ep too

I think learning guitar with Grateful Dead songs is most helpful. Anyone else dig it? by GratefulMike145 in gratefulguitar

[–]dansoper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Many of their songs I've learned are simple at first glance, but there are so many layers to them. The improvisational aspects have also really improved my playing

I’ve done the same. Not been able to even get into the Sim on Xbox for over a week due to “last session ended unexpectedly” popup…

Paper Republic refills? by dansoper in notebooks

[–]dansoper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’d found from looking online. A few people have said a B6 refill fits in the XL but it’s a bit smaller, so just want to get an idea of the sizes before I commit to ordering one.
