  1. ...and go drink Lambrusco in the hills while enjoying typical non-pretentious food form Emilia. Key.
  2. I mean, I would think a concert like that will make you feel really young... or really old. I saw ZZ Top last year and while they were great, the audience was depressing. Never seen Rascal Scooters and walkers at a concert before.
  3. Reminds me of El Patio / Club No Minors in Houston. Dog food on the menu so you drink their margaritas. Actually, you go for the margaritas but the food is filler to delay the eventual puke.
  4. 4 out of 5 avalanche risk and no beacons... https://snowbrains.com/4-skiers-swept-away-by-avalanche-2-killed-in-off-piste-area-near-val-disere-france/
  5. Started listening to this in conjunction with going through the entire New Order catalog...
  6. Trudy's hasn't been relevant since who the hell knows
  7. Yeah, I get it. I like both. I wish I could live at the beach and a ski mountain simultaneously. Anyway, was reading up on localism in Hawaii since I want to get into the water. Sounds like the strong advice is give respect, get respect and everything flows pretty smoothly from there... and I suspect the more intense waves/local vibes will be ones I'll avoid.
  8. Man, I have no idea how to comprehend this. We had to deal with Harvey and what that did to our community but in comparison, it wasn't a hard effort for the community to bounce back. Well, no, it was hard. It wasn't THIS hard. Even today, you can see the scars of Harvey but you can also pretend it never happened... the trees are still there, the landscape hasn't really changed. Your will be different but your community will find a way to bounce back. It may be hard to fathom now but it will happen. Prayers to you, my friend.
  9. We'll have a car when staying in Punalu'u so I'm sure we'll head over to the north shore quite a bit. May also pack a couple of bodyboards and fins and bring them with me instead of renting to visit Makapuu and Sandy Beach. But honestly, my knowledge of the island is limited. Plan on hiking quite a bit, though.
  10. I'd be curious. Aside from the Big Island we have 3 nights in Waikiki near the Zoo and 4 nights in Punalu'u
  11. OK... trip fully booked. Here's what we've got - 7 nights in Oahu, 6 nights in the Big Island. Will figure out the details later. Have a Hawaiian friend giving me insight on Oahu and a friend who just sold her house in Waikoloa giving me insight on the Big Island... Fly into Honolulu, Oahu Waikiki (3 nights) - no car car pickup Punaluu (4 nights) Honolulu to Hilo Big Island - Hawaii pick up car at Hilo Airport Hilo, Hawaii (2 nights) Volcano (1 night) Kailua (3 nights) Fly out of Kona
  12. That's great - you're lucky to have that so close by
  13. Personally hate HLSR shows but Charley Crockett is great!
  14. Bastages opened West Basin in Taos today
  15. I mean, they may as well hang on to the plans for now... when is the show?
  16. I know... hard to believe. Psychedelic Furs were great that night - sounded really good. Lead singer and bass player, his brother, are still in the band. Keyboard player used to be with Information Society. The banter inbetween songs felt more like Chuck-e-Cheese animatronic banter but otherwise the performances were good.
  17. Uh, that makes sense as being a totally kick ass lineup, aside from GnR. 1988 me and 2025 me both would have loved it. That said, the worst I can think of was Evan Dando, lead singer of the Lemonheads, opening for the Psychedelic Furs in 2023 at ACL Live. He was all over the place... seemed drunk or high (or both) and kept screwing around with two different microphones. Would occasionally mumble between songs and I don't even think he played his biggest Lemonheads or maybe he did and you couldn't tell. At the end, he mumbled something, took off his coat and jumped over the rail and into the audience, never to return. Later in the Psychedelic Furs concert, a friend of mine sent me a picture of he and his wife drinking with Evan on the concourse.
  18. I just checked a house in Lost Creek and it has that house at 3/10 and ours at 4/10. About to call BS. Also, my brother's house is lower than ours and, dude, nope.
