  1. For the past 17 years, I worked at a job where it was against the ethics policy to contribute to a campaign or to publicly support a candidate. Yesterday was my last day. I just made my first contribution this morning.
  2. Just curious, how are you getting to the show? After reading reviews, I'm still not totally sold on taking Bus to Show. We're sitting a bit farther back than you guys on row 52. Didn't get our tickets right when they went on sale. It was a spur of the moment decision at 2 am.
  3. Yeah i was looking at Bus to Show too. They pick up at several places in town. We're gonna book our Airbnb today and try to get a place kinda close to one of the pickup locations.
  4. My GF and I are going to this show too. It'll be our first time at Red Rocks. Flying in the morning of the show and coming back the next evening. Probably gonna stay in Denver and take an Uber or a shuttle to the show.
  5. I dig Secret Machines a whole lot. If you're into big-hitting Bonham-style drummers, Josh Garza is one of the best out there. Garza was previously in a band from DFW called Comet that put out a really good album "Chandelier Musings" that was produced by David Baker from Mercury Rev. Like Secret Machines, Comet had some buzz but never broke it big.
  6. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/09/10/dallas-officer-who-shot-man-claims-she-didnt-know-she-was-wrong-apartment-until-calling/ There's a link to the video about halfway in this article.
  7. One time me and three friends dropped acid and drove around in my dad’s car. He has one of those talking cars, we’re tripping, and the car goes, “The door is ajar.” We pulled over and thought about that for 12 hours. “How can a door be a jar?” … “Why would they put a jar on a car?” … “Oh man, the freeway’s melting!” … “Put it in the jar."
  8. Looks like she has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. Booked at Kaufman County Jail. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2018/09/09/dallas-officer-amber-guyger-arrested-fatally-shooting-botham-jean-apartment
  9. Dallas Morning News names the police officer, Amber Guyger. DPD says she moved into the complex a month ago and didnt know the victim. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-police/2018/09/08/dallas-officer-shot-man-apartment-involved-2017-shooting-suspect
  10. Because I'm waiting to see it posted from a credible source instead of Internet sleuths like jim bob, Supastar J. Kwik!, BeholdAluminati and Priestess Moonfire. Those are some of the actual Twitter accounts that have posted her name and pics. If you search Twitter for #BothamJean, you'll see them.
  11. The officer's name and photo have been circulating on Twitter for the past few hours. She is not the woman next to the victim in the photo above. I haven't seen it reported by any real credible source yet, but her info is out there.
  12. Nah man, I'm still here. I woke up this morning. I hope to do it again tomorrow.
  13. I haven't been on here much since the first days of surly, but started lurking and catching up on this thread recently. That guitar is stunning, noharleyyet.
  14. I'm not a player either, but I'm a Ludwig fan and have owned several Ludwig kits over the years. And my 9-year-old started playing drums earlier this year so I've kinda gotten back into it too. Have you played an acrylic kit? Our current kit at home is a set of late 70s clear Vistalite with 24, 18, 14 and matching snare. They're the first acrylic drums I've played or owned. It's a different feel and they're louder than wood, but I dig em.
  15. I forgot the secret knock. Let me in!
  16. Felt like I was wandering lost through the desert the past 24 hours. Good to see you guys.
