Election Day 2000 and it's too close to call between Bush and Gore.  It comes down to Florida to see who will win the closest presidential election in decades.  Regardless of the pot smoking, cocaine snorting candidates, Deadstein goes on with it's clean pursuit of freakiness vis-à-vis music. 

Andy was a no show and Tommy Whapp-Snappa-5-string graced us with some of his blues happenings and jive-talking.  There were no there guests at all but Deadstein played a pretty hot night of non-wavering music.  Powerful and confident through the whole night, there were many great moments.

Once again I was enjoying the sounds of my new Weber California Speakers.  The have been sounding really smooth and tight,  My notes don't fall apart.  The bass is driving and not farty and the highs seem round instead of shrill.  In addition, I seemed to have good control of all my sounds and faculties to make for a positive evening on my part.

• We got the whole setlist in. 
• Dave only showed for the second set.  
• Food was a Starlight Dinner who has a beefy burger, bad sodas, marginal BLTs, bad sodas and corrugated Baklava.  It wasn't sickening though.  That is a plus.

The Loser was really hot, West LA was funcky and the Rooster never dragged.  I liked the Crazy Fingers and Cassidy, the were pretty darn good.  Baby Blue was right on.

It was a beautiful warm autumn night.  New liberal Senators in New York and New Jersey are elected.  Hold on to your wallets because they are about to be taken for a ride.  Knicks and Rangers take early in the season wins.

A very enjoyable evening indeed. The playing was in a crisp groove all night. It really picked towards the end with some rollicking endings. God bless this vehicle we call Deadstein. It gives a freak like me an oppurtunity to drive (and I don't even have a driver's license). Thank you all for creating a happy, loving, caring and fun atmosphere. It is something that we all treasure.

Andy, we missed you. Hope all is well.

Hey, had fun, especially with the new volume restrictions! (j/k) Man, did you guys figure out that I do NOT know LAST TIME? Couldn't help myself on Little Red Rooster, gind's solo sounded too much like Jimi for me not to break into Red House Blues! Oh, and as far as the jive on H2H - just let me do Caution! LLB was a monster last night! Freakboy found the range, and I gotta show up with a microphine clip next time. Holding the mic hampers my dancing!

After moving to Monroe, CT I soon realized that a quality eatery would be hard to find. Basically, you buy food 15 miles from your house, bring it home and cook it, or kill it yourself in your backyard. I had, however, noticed a small Italian place called Lia's in a strip mall next to the Big Y (our food store chain)previously but never tried it.

Last night was my initiation.

Fried Mozarella came in the pattie form and was outstanding, smothered in a meaty red sauce that left you wanting more. What really knocked me out was the cheese calzone I ordered with sausage and mushroom. It must have been a square yard....light airy riccota that was so good Johnny would have creamed...perfect texture to the crust...it was unbelievable! And after a preroll I could only finish half...and it was four bucks!!!!

Zinc reudle-hueb.

I thought if anyone could appreciate this wonderful culinary experience, Deadstein could. Too bad they're 75 miles from WWWI is all I can say.....

OK, stop the music. I was only busting chops. I had no idea that this is an issue. I have neither purchased or brought a stand. I will use one of the 3 dollar stands. I will also bring in a microphone clip. Period -the end. after that the hole vs no hole scenario is another can of worms.

I am sooo happy to be a DEADSTEIN member. I will never offer up any apologies, explain myself, or force my views on anyone in the band as long as we play, so help me GOD.

I'll second that - and agree we put it to a vote, but I am afraid that we would not be able to validate anything before Tuesday. r//w/t/f/d/h/d/t/d/t/f/o/a

Hey everyone:

Get set and prepared to see the freakiest, spinniest dancers to every take in all of Deadstein, and I don't mean Johnny. In addition to this freak, Dennis is also scheduled to show so get excited about the arrival of all our beloved friends, and I don't mean Johnny. This is my clue Rich!!!!

Cool! the Spinners! I hope they do Rubberband Man. That is one of my favorites!

"Once I went to hear him play on the other side of town/I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound this cat put down/When I saw this short fat guy with a band between his toes/ Well I laughed so hard that i fell right down when it finally reached his no-o0-ose!"

Because I used to leave her at home with the kids while I played in a Rock n Roll band....

Besides, her ass never looked that good in leather pants.....
