Still, you have to admit it would be less problematic if he'd thought to have a spare key made.

Hi Derek! How goes it? Hi Robert! How's married life treating you? Hiya Drew! Hiya Scott! :wave

Alright, folks, let's step away from the post button unless it's to respond to the actual subject of this thread. The back-and-forth sniping is tiresome to our members...if you must continue, take it to pm's and keep it off the forums, please.

Give Back the Keys to my Heart?! Oh wow, wish I'd been there to hear that!

Nice to see you, awatt!

Diane, on your recommendation & that of PopTodd & Sir Stewart, I took Alissa (age 17) to see this today. She is irreparably scarred and damaged for life. No actually we both laughed hysterically all the way through. What a fitting end for the City of Angels! Poor James Franco. What a blast...we thank you!

What a buncha computer nerds! Thank you, sonny!

Conspiracy theorist, eh dagwave?

I don't think so...but then you always do hear your own voice differently than others hear it! Ask my so-called friends.

I did call out "Welfare!" and "Believe!", and heard others around the field doing the same. I wonder if they'll ever get all that star-shaped confetti out of the field? "Next time" we'll have to search out a biodegradable variety.

Clearly, a "no".

Can't blame this one on me.

It is exactly the right place, and reading your post put a smile on my face and some things in perspective. Thanks so much for sharing that. (Was it the Friday night requests show, or the all-Wilco of Saturday night? Both were wonderful.) Aside to Lotti : that's what we're calling it now, seepage? I do believe.

And I still haven't read it! Gotta get on that, as I loved his short-story collection, "Ladies and Gentlemen".

What he said! Congratulations on your achievement, Louie!

I'm better than halfway through Joe Manning's "Disappearing into North Adams" now, and it is so atmospheric that it runs through my thoughts all day and my dreams at night. I find myself really wanting to return to North Adams sometime when there isn't a Solid Sound Festival going on, so that I could just mosey about the town and really take it all in. I could spend a long while just admiring the old Victorian houses or walking in the old hillside cemetery. What a beautiful, beautiful area, and what a great town!

Haha, that's pretty funny! Thanks for the clarification, Wendy.

Love your photo, rhino! Next time I'll make a point of driving up Mt. Greylock. So is NH the 4th state that can be seen from up there?

What a wonderful town. So much of what makes SSF fantastic has to do with the utterly charming and friendly locale. One of my souvenirs from this year's SSF is a book by Joe Manning that I picked up in Hardware, the Mass MoCA giftstore. It's called "Disappearing into North Adams" and it gives a history of the town dating back to the controversial urban renewal project of the late 60's/early 70's that drastically changed the character of North Adams' downtown...many old-timers feel, for the worse. It's well told using photos of the demolition work, articles from the North Adams Transcript (loc

Congratulations, ripthisjoint! The world is your oyster.

And pogoing:

How much fun were The Relatives on Friday night? Here we are following their dance move instructions: "Sli-i-i-de..."

Yep! Love it.

Welcome to Via Chicago, surprisetruck! Great username which must have a good story behind it. Pretty terrific SSF, despite the intense heat/humidity...I'm almost re-hydrated now! I've got a lot of photos to share, once I get finished unpacking and all. Some are even in focus.
