8/23 PHILLY - GIDDY UP!

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Roofieing (sp?) a bunch of people getting together at a concert tailgate seems a bit odd. Is it possible that all of you just got really hammered?

I know it sounds odd but I am a tailgate professional.  2 Blackouts in my life 20 years ago and this past Friday night.  It is one thing to get really drunk but this experience for me was VERY different.

This, it was very different from a blankout drunk. I don't personally think it was roofies. But I remember Dave saying that one of the "special" beers had either salvia or sativa in it (I didn't hear that description personally). I can't remember which. I don't think it was the wormwood. I've gotten drunk on absinthe before & it was not like that at all.

Rob, if you can make it to Philly, absolutely do so! You know you have a place to crash.

Yes, Rob pleeeeease go!

I don't like all these stories coming from everyone....kind of scary.

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

He seemed like a real straight shooter.

[Penny Lane]

So the tailgate is in the parking lot?
What time are people getting down there?
Ruckus, you're going. Peafunk, Ky and I have decided.

Hear us now & believe us later! Rob, you are going to Philly!

As far as I've heard, Penny, party in the lot. There will be a whole mess of us in the lot starting around 3:30 - 4:00

[subinai]

[kydiddle]

 ;D ;D ;D

Someone desperately wants to be included in the "My Morning Jacket Wolfpack."

Party in the lot!  Earliest I can get there is 6:00. Zoinks. I'll probably miss out on a poster, too. Double zoinks.

[subinai]

have posters been selling out quickly on non-burwell nights?

[capt. scotty]

Kind of want to go to this. Its a shame ill be at the beach in NC next week. 1 Jacket show in the summer jus aint enough!

ok, this is just too freaking coincidental guys.  Peafunk & Bumble, you guys describe EXACTLY the same thing that happened to me.  Seriously.  It was the only time Bob ever actually wanted to leave a show because of the state that I was in.  And he also noted, that I was fine (feelin good) in the lot, and then got one beer inside the venue, and was still pretty ok during Neko.  By the time the boys came on, I was an absolute lunatic, he has never seen me like it, and I have never felt like it or completely forgotten SO  many parts of the night.  When I tell you that my experience looking at the pics from the night was like the scene at the end of Hangover, i kid you not.  Totally had to look at the setlist too -- and had forgotten many things. 
Here is what I consumed:  1/2 cup of sangria, 4 beers (1 yards, 1 of the other kind in the same cooler as the yards, and 1 red stripe light, 1 Corona Light in the venue), and 1 jello shot topped with that alcohol infused whipped cream, and a few sippy sips of rob's kool aid. 
I was seriously fine, taking down the tailgate, cleaning up, and being generally helpful to Bob (unusual) and I even ate like 2 pieces of sandwich and chips. 
ugh.  Can't wait to chat w you guys at the show, and Rob you better be there!

I don't know what "roofing" is, but I mentioned before about my own over-imbibing for this show. I don't think I was ever so messed up in my life at a concert! I know I enjoyed it, but was feeling very out-of-control and could barely walk at the end. I don't ever get that bad. I didn't have any "special beers," just mixed a lot of different alcohols (champagne, every kind of jello shot I brought, several Jack & Cokes and margaritas in the venue) which of course is a big no-no and I hardly ate anything all day which is another no-no. I'm pretty much a tailgate professional myself and can out-drink most people I know - especially when it comes to hard liquor. I chalk my experience up to the combo of mixing alcohol and the crowded and hot conditions in that pit - lots of alcohol + hot and sweaty conditions = total delirium.

Think I learned my lesson there. See you all Tuesday in a non-delirious condition!

[DemonEyes86]

cant wait guys it is going down soon. watch what you consume next week, thats some crazy shit you guys experienced.

[capt. scotty]

I also kind of blacked out about an hour or so after going into MPP, but I chalked that up to being hammered and not a roofie colada. I seriously doubt this roofie conspiracy, I think it was just a non-stop flow of booze in the lot for many.

This is why I employ the practice of alternating each beer/drink with a water. That's why you see me drinking Coors in a lot of the Red Rocks pictures. Hydrate, people!

[Penny Lane]

Holy smokes! I leave you all alone for one show and everyone gets roofied?!! Jeez. Did anyone eat any brownies? That's crazy. Sory you had this experience.

Capt, I'm sorry I missed your ONE appearance all year!  :(

if they are not limiting to 1 per person (which i think may only have happened @ T5) i can pick one up for you, wonder twin

not sure exactly what time i'm rolling in, and i have to make it a sober show, but i hope to be there early enough to hang out w/ you guys in the lot.  can't wait for this show!!!!
