@shapsio @phishnet @ParadiseRockClb @saintmichaels @Terminal5NYC @CarolinaDurham My first show was a frat party at Denison U. I recall to this day how I begged them to let me keep the ticket intact, and they compromised and tore it such that the logo stayed intact. Trey got on roller blades and rode around through the crowd. I was 5’ from Page. @phish

@RandyWKirk1 @Kmtbyates That is small

@benalsop @Kmtbyates I might live there. I was there a short time ago, and noticed that my old neighborhood is mostly black now. But I lived for 28 years in Inglewooo, so that's not an issue. The 700sq feet might b an issue.

According to Grok, there are 450,000 homes under $300,000 for sale right now

@RandyWKirk1 @Kmtbyates U city has good areas and not so good areas. You probably wouldn’t live there and it is a huge difference from Ladue

@Kmtbyates The two bedroom 1 bath home in University City, Mo. where I grew up until age 11 is on Zillow at $99,000. How many more examples do you want. This is 6 miles from downtown St. Louis and adjacent to Ladue where all the old money lives.

@teslaownersSV @elonmusk 4D chess to wait so long to file?

Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers basically waved off Elon’s OpenAI appeal, saying the jury’s statute of limitations ruling is tough to overturn. An activist judge letting Sam Altman skate after he hijacked a nonprofit charity — originally pledged to benefit all humanity — and turned it into his $150B+ personal for-profit empire? That’s not justice. Stealing a charity for profit is not OK. You don’t get to rewrite the mission, pocket the upside, and hide behind “time limits” while betraying the public trust. OpenAI’s founding promise was destroyed in broad daylight. This makes zero sense.

@AutismFam Yes mine were always like that as well. Get a new batch and it’s like owning two different flocks

Ive got chickens at different times...its funny to me how clicky they are. Ones all acquired at the same time always chillin together.

@SFAClubBsbl Thanks for the memories!

@benalsop Thank you for the great videos!

Last night I witnessed the coolest thing ever at the cards game. A small group of guys @SFAClubBsbl took their shirts off and started making noise in the section next to us. By the time the cards won in bottom of 11th, it was 2 full sections going nuts! Crowd psychology FTW!

@SFAClubBsbl I was in the suite next to you, got many videos! Here is near the beginning and at the game winner

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter lol going to the bathroom is a process for sure. Have to tag team it and intermission is the only viable moment when you are up front 🤣

@BLTrotter @benalsop I had a lot of anxiety leading up to the to the show worrying about the ga seats. But it all worked out. Just stopped drinking fluids a couple hours before.

Night 5 (Friday 2nd weekend) was my personal tops. Pebbles and Marbles, What's Going Through Your Mind -> Piper > Monsters, Life Saving Gun, What's the Use? Phenomenal set. Can forgive the Santos closer.

@Jimi_Stella Nice I was at that phish show on Halloween 😉

Next month marks fifty years of me seeing live rock and roll concerts And I’m not quitting any time soon

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter I shouldn’t have bought the Dick’s tickets, should have saved for MX instead! Of course we are going to get show 100 MSG on NYE, so that will also tempt me also! Need lots of disposable income and time off!!

@benalsop @BLTrotter Sounds like a good move for you then!

@BLTrotter @CliffordBall96 Exactly, the front to back is limited and it can feel like you are about to fall off a cliff. I’d like to try the 200’s, they look nice. Done 7 shows there now, 3 in 300’s, 2 in 100’s, and 2 on the floor. Three nights on the floor is exhausting at 51 years old lol, havin a seat👍🏻

@benalsop @CliffordBall96 The seats have decent room shoulder to shoulder but when going out to the bathroom, holy moly...excuse me pardon me thank you sorry excuse me....tight. The back corners I think would be my spot if I get a chance to rock the floor.

@BLTrotter @CliffordBall96 My best friend does Mexico every year and swears by it, I think it’s the one major recurring shows that I’ve never been to.

@CliffordBall96 @benalsop Similar to Phish Mexico, most everyone there was very clearly so happy to be there.

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter Felt like early 90’s again…

@benalsop @BLTrotter I felt so fortunate and kept thinking “what did I do to deserve this”? It was a full circle moment, went with one of my buds from Clifford Ball. Our first show together since then. Guessing it was monumental for you too. Didn’t see one unhappy person there!

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter First time winning first entry, easy when you are so close! So you went to Clifford Ball too? Not many of us out here that actually went to those classics these days.

@benalsop @BLTrotter Damn! Better than the pro shot videos.

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter Fingers on strings up close.

@benalsop @BLTrotter Here’s my film roll: home.mycloud.com/action/share/f… I typically try to avoid filming faces but hard to resist trying to capture that pre show vibe.

@BLTrotter @CliffordBall96 Floor was amazing. Wife made me take her to the 300’s for the 3rd night, but I agreed very reluctantly. She hadn’t been before though, so wanted to experience the larger view and the haptic seats, etc., and so I did it (friend gave us his 300’s). So much more room to dance…

@CliffordBall96 @benalsop Hell yeah. View from the floor is so different, would like to make it down next go.

@CliffordBall96 @BLTrotter Incredible! So cool I love it! You got me!!!

@wholemars Doesn’t matter how much it costs at this point

Damn! I had a subscriber who bought a Model 3 for $14,000 with the old Nvidia computer and got an estimate for $1,065 to upgrade to AI3 so the car could run FSD. A few of my subscribers and I chipped in to cover the upgrade cost, but Tesla Orlando-Eatonville keeps finding other issues with the car that they say are essential and safety critical, making the upgrade cost almost 3x what they originally forecast. If this is any sign of what's to come, upgrading all these cars to AI4 is going to be a lot more expensive than expected...
