Thirded. I start off most of my casual correspondence with that.
Best Iko I caught was in '92 or '93 … April Fools day, Phil in a Barney costume, kids on stage. Nassau.
Now, about this teardrop tat I got on my face, what was I thinking?
Phil was NOT wearing a barney costume.
Phil was playing bass offstage, while the Barney costumed character was onstage, (fake/un-connected bass in its paws) pretending to play…
Garcia was unaware of the gag before it happened, and was quite taken aback.
Phil said there was no way he could have properly played his instrument in that very bulky costume.
Heh… should have said “Barney was in the Phil Zone!” The question of whether or not it was really him kept us occupied for quite a while that night.
Where’d you hear the details? I love reading about shows I’ve been to. Only other memorable ones were set-list based (i.e., I missed the Great Jerry Hop, the Warlocks).
You had me at “In-N-Out Burger”.
Hah, yeah, the location of the eats was my own choosing. Let’s not go getting all dark and candlelit on the first meeting!
As for being upset- no, I’m not. I’m slightly twinged that I am apparently not a good catch to someone that has almost nothing, but I’m already over it already. I just wanted to share my feelings about it here, but of course there’s always that group just waiting to pounce and explain that we shouldn’t be feeling this or that, right?
And the “say now” and “hey now” aren’t part of casual conversations as eleanorigby uses them- they are only used as greetings by cons. You know, as you’re standing there, clanking your tin cup along the bars, as someone walks by… “Hey now!” That’s how it was explained to me, anyway. And in this region of the country, I’ve never heard anyone use those terms as greeting besides ex-cons. (Not that I know that many, I don’t.)
Not visibly, he didn’t.
I am betting that you would really enjoy reading Phil Lesh’s autobiography “Searching For The Sound” as it is full of great little stories and rememberences of 30 years of life with the Grateful Dead
And so modest, too!
To be fair, it’s probably better for her to think she’s a catch than to think she’s not worth a damn thing.
Still though, a comfortable balance must be sought between “I’m a catch damn it!” and “Maybe I’m doing something/s wrong?”.
It’s all relative! I should say, “to ex-con druggie/alcoholic health-problemed hepatitic losers that live with their mom and dad” I’m a catch, goddammit!
I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong as much as just not meeting the right people. Or maybe I’ve been fucking up that whole 3:1 conversation ratio.
I’m still a catch too damn it! Someone out there has it worse than me and someday I’ll find 'em. 
EDIT:
That, to me, counts as doing something wrong. I know tons of girls that “can’t find a good man” and it’s because they keep looking in the same places and keep finding the same kind of scumbags as before.
And that 3:1 ratio is bullshit. Just talk. Adhering to some kind of arbitrary conversational rule such as that is pure wingnut bullshit. The only rules to a good conversation are along the lines of not making the other person feel like shit.
You’re about a zillion times more street smart than I am…that’s all way over my head and I would have totally missed it.
Underlining mine. Here’s your problem. He’d like someone who couldn’t see through him and who would hang on his every word, fall hard for him etc., so that he could work his con on her. You’re probably too smart and composed for him.
I agree. I’d add that it’s often important to watch what they do instead of listening to what they say.
I’m also on board with “why would you take him to your place if you had suspicions?”.
The answer is that she’s not as smart as she makes out.
Seriously. I can’t imagine worse advice, and can’t for the life of me work out if it’s more insulting to men or to women.
You might conceivably do better with someone whose idea of a great conversation is one in which they get to talk the most, but… why would you want to?
I don’t live my life in fear. Foolish, maybe, but it’s worked out for me so far.
It had been storming and flash-flooding, and I didn’t want to drive, okay? Usually I do meet people somewhere, but this time I let him come to my house because, out of all the vibes I got from him, danger was never one of them.
Why do you find his rejection of you so stunning? It takes a certain kind of man to handle you. A man who wants to slowly unwrap and savor the whole ATG package, and he quickly determined he was not that man.
Not stunned, just slightly piqued. And yes, it does.
I have no idea what is going through this guy’s head, but I would not be surprised if he felt that you “too good” for him rather than the other way around. Or perhaps it was less “too good” and more like “not what I’m interested in”, where what he’s interested in is not something you have any desire to be and would be better of not trying to be.
Or maybe he thinks you are not good enough for him and he’s an idiot.
or rather 130 :eek:
