Hartford, right? Maybe New Haven....

Ha. I was gonna suggest that it was Donna but she was out of the JGB but then....

Oh man I'd totally try that but I don't take advice from you anymore....

Thanks for the tips. I left them on my desk over the weekend. 4 of the 8 actually opened up a tiny bit over the weekend, too. On their own. The miracle of Life.

Good, solid, authentic choppers but no way in Hell could they saw through a pistachio nut shell.

Ha! What am I, some kind of handy man?! Good lord. Thanks Ann Romano!

Not on these remaining 8. I know the trick with using a spent half- shell to pry open a small-opening fresh shell. This isn't an option here, though, as they are fully closed.

This is pretty urgent as I am on my lunch break: Does anyone have any insight/advice/words or wisdom/tricks through witchcraft/whatever on how to open a fully closed pistachio!?!!? I bought about 2 lbs. of pistachios around Thanksgiving time and am now getting down towards the very bottom of the bag. All of the pistachios I tossed back into the bag the past few months because I "didn't have the time" to bother opening, now require an investment of time to open. I don't know what the hell I was thinking all this time. Were they going to magically open themselves eventually? Will the bag of

So, your ambition is to keep doing what you've done in the past? That's cool.

I got to sit on Jerry's shoulders once during a fierce Morning Dew. He was bobbing and weaving a bit so I just cupped my hands under his chin.

Not sure, but I'm betting on him to take Bill Cosby's place as spokesperson for Jell-O Pudding Pops.

I think he's on some new show called 60 Minutes, or something.

Today Steve Kroft looks like an asshole and at the same time, loves assholes.

Received the Garcia Live Vol. 5 (1975 NYE w/ a fucked up Nicky Hopkins) and Dave's Pick's Vol 12 (Colgate 11.4.77) as bday gifts a week or so ago. First commercial GD/JGB stuff I've had in a couple years save for the Sunshine Daydream discs). I've always enjoyed the NYE JGB show as Hopkins attempts to run the show and Garcia just cuts him off. Also caught Melvin/JGB on my birthday (same ol' decent fun) and for NYE saw JK, Chimenti, Jay Lane and some other dude as The Golden Gate Warriors. Tepid as all hell.

Like a Rhinehold cowboy....

I got a chance to talk to all three, as well, before and during break at a show a bunch of years ago around here. Willie Waldman a bunch, too. Banyan plays around here (Denver) quite a bit. Banyan recently played after the Jane's show, too.

Good for you. I've tried it like 3-4 times and, as much as I appreciated the exercise for my lower arm muscles, couldn't deal with it.

I think she's married, actually.

Ha. You're less observant than me....!

Seriously

Gans' s Conversations... book is excellent. There're interviews with Healy and Owsley in there, too, iirc.

No. The Smiths are mopey, emo suicide elevator music with lyrics and NIN are torture chamber music flunkies.

Listening to this Springfield '78 during work break and forgot how great the show is. It's an official release. The "Dancin" is very spirited with some laughter and goofiness in the beginning and shenanigans at the end. The "Werewolves" encore is smokin', too. I often overlook '78 for some reason in deference to 77 or 79 when selecting a show to play.... https://archive.org/details/gd78-05-11.aud.vernon.6317.sbeok.shnf

Yeah good call....

You gonna get loaded and make out with the cleaning lady again?
