Another person posted this, but this is a second plea to bring pholks in. There are still 6 openings in the free Yahoo Parrothead fantasy league. Join up sson, so we can have a full 12-team league. The draft is Friday, so sign up today. If you know any other PH fantasy folks, pass this along! To joi...

I just signed up and there are still 6 openings. I'm topping this in hopes that others will sign up, too. A full league is much more fun!

Rumors of Alpine's demise...

Helo- I just stumbled upon a thread on a DMB Web board (http://www.nancies.org/boards/showthread.php?t=1678287956) that talks of local rumors in the East Troy area about this summer's dismal schedule possibly resulting in the selling and demolition of Alpine Valley's amphitheater to build a golf cou...

Seeing as Camp Randall will still be finishing construction in July, I'd be willing to offer my patio in Sun Prairie as a substitute.

It would be a sacrifice, but i think I can manage moving the deck chairs off to make room for a couple other PH's... or at least Jimmy, Mac and Utley.

So, the Wal Mart near me will pretty much hire anyone on the spot if they have a high school education, and if you've got a college degree, they'll pretty much make you store manager in a day. So why don't the PH's who want to go to this concert just go and get themselves a "temporary job"...

I think this would be a perfect year for Club Trini to branch out and play a few shows in smaller venues in the Ill., Wis. area around the Wrigley dates. Like Mac playing Shank Hall before Alpine, what a great opportunity that would be for the rest of the band to play a few shows like that. That wou...

I have to agree as Desdamona. As a phairly young phan (23) who also has never chosen to partake in beverages of the alcoholic persuasion, I can't see a reason that an underager (or an overager for that matter) needs to drink to enjoy a show. Try a show sober once and you might just find that you bri...

Do your MMIM live tracks buzz?

After varying response in another thread, I want to know:

Does the acoustic guitar on the live tracks of your "Meet Me in Margaritaville" buzz really badly! Enquiring Parrotheads want to know!

I agree the live songs sound quality isn't up to par with the other three live albums he has released. In fact they sound not much better than my selection of bootlegs. But I have to say this, they are great performances of the songs and they are really "live recordings". No fixing or add...

Here's a post that I submitted in the MMIM review thread, but wanted to get all of your thoughts on this. I await replies: This is a decent compilation, but I feel utterly shafted by the live songs.

This is a decent compilation, but I feel utterly shafted by the live songs. I own audience-taped bootleg CD's where the sound quality is better. I mean seriously, is that an acoustic guitar or a kazoo? This sort of fulfils the obvious "in it for the money and I know you'll buy whatever schlock ...

Got lucky, but I'm sure some will be ticked today!

I got lucky to get a pair of lawn, right as the Alpine Tix went on sale this morning. I was at work with a T1, but after seeing how quickly after that tix were sold out, I am sure some people are going to have some ticket outlet horror stories. I hope everyone on these boards got lucky!
