Outside of that it's been local or local to where my friends live.

My destination is the bar.


If you wanna go somewhere and get married, go.

So instead of paying $12.99 for a 4 pack I paid $9.99 a six pack. Accordingly, I cleaned them out

Job well done, sir!

My destination always ends up being where alcohol is easily accessible!

happy early thanksgiving everyone! i'm sure i'll forget tomorrow. stuff your faces. it's the american way.

[whodat]

Is it snowing at SPAC yet? If so... time to tailgate bitches!!!

[Sleepr56]

Snowing pretty good here. Just got the 'handshake' at work to take off 'once work is complete'. Guess that means I will wait 10 minutes then bounce.

Also, the new Weezer album is effin' awesome.

[whodat]

Happy Turkey, Football and Alcohol Day folks.

[Bowa34]

Gobble gobble mother fuckers!

[Matt H]

Oh yeah, forgot about football today.

Mainly because I'm at work. : /

Is it time for SPAC yet?

[CaffeineQueen]

Hope you people had a lovely Thanksgiving.

[alyssadee24]

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving filled with lots of food comas and good company!

[Cozmic135]

Hello People.

Hope you all had a nice Turkey Day.

[whodat]

Howdy SPAC people. Hope everyone is getting in the holiday spirit. I can PM you may address to send gifts as needed. Speaking of gifts, wasn't going to get the latest Trax but my son has had a sudden resurgence in his enjoyment of all things DMB. (He is listening over and over to Piedmont Park right now.) So I ponied up and got the DVD/CD combo with the t-shirt. (I don't own any DMB wear so figured why the hell not.) Also tossed in the Trax from The Muse. Little early gifts for myself... and my son.

[Sleepr56]

Love me some Trax!

These are the first LT shows I have bought in a long time. I followed the herd on the first 6-8, then was like that is enough. I don't need 24 versions of Jimi Thing and Ants. I was looking at some of the D&T Trax and Live shows as my son is into the acoustic stuff also. Anyone have a favorite from any of the D&T released shows?

Love me some Appalachian State, Boone, NC.

Not to mention, I was there. Great show.

Boone's a good one. Never bought the LT because the audience tape was so good, and I tend to listen to the Davidson show from that tour (which I went to) more than Boone.

As far as D&T Live Trax releases go, I like 23 & 24: UNH in 1996, and Spartanburg, SC from 1997. I'm pretty sure I already had audience tapes of those two, but the sets are just that good.

Well as of last night, I am not longer a home owner. Kind of bitter sweet, and all toll a very tough process to do from 3000 miles away. The rental thing blew up right before this past years show, and the sale process took FOREVER. But that is in the rearview mirror now. Looking forward to a merry little christmas. How is everyone doing?

[Cozmic135]

Well, my SD flight is officially booked.
Working on Mexico now.
Bleh.

Hi everyone.

Well, one less hassle I guess, right??

Most definitely. There was a time, when we had renters, that I would cringe every morning when I got up, expecting an email, text or voice message about another issue. While the renters we had paid on time, were never late, when it came to anything related to the house they never lifted a finger. Nor did they listen after something was fixed on what to do moving forward so that it wouldn't happen again.

Anyone ever rent a cabin at rustic barn campground? I'm looking for something different for next year.

Congrats?

Can't really tell.

High SPAC! How goes it?

No it is a good thing. We would have never moved back to that house, and we really didn't have the finances to make two homes work, especially with a renter that doesn't listen, my wife still in school and only one income. We pumped between $7-$10K (not including covering the mortgage for the last 6 months) in a house we never lived in for two years to just keep it up. I don't make that kind of coin to be shelling that out left and right.

In a perfect world i would have loved to have sold the house when we were more settled after my wife graduates and used that to pay for something else. But instead we will pay down a ton of debt, then invest the rest for something down the road. Looking at capital gains taxed right now, but so far we should have very little, if any to pay, since we didn't net that much off the house.

But those are first world problems, nothing to fret over.
