Good morning. Phish tonight!
I’m getting lunches ready and breakfast made and kids dressed and dogs out and such and such. Tardy bell rings at 8:10.
Phish tonight!
Good morning OKP,
On Wednesday I got to play a private golf course in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, that was designed by Lee Trevino for networking event put on by a consortium I am a member of. I played like shit, but I still had fun. After the round of golf, there was an open bar, and steak dinner. It was a really great day.
Yesterday though…
My Dicks ticket was supposed to arrive on Wednesday when it didn’t arrive, I contacted UPS, who said that I would receive it on Thursday. Yesterday at 6 I called UPS and asked them where my ticket was, they said it was still on the truck. I said their truck had come and gone and there is no ticket. So they called dispatch, who called the driver, who said that there was not envelope for me in his truck. After 5 or 6 phone calls, UPS admitted that they lost my ticket. So I called Stubhub. They made things right by comping me a ticket, which was to be delivered by the Flash Seats app. I got an email this morning saying my replacement ticket was shipping UPS 2 Day Air to my house which means I will not get it before my flight. So I am still, effectively, without a ticket, and I am once again on hold trying to reach Stubhub customer service. Regardless of whether or not I have a ticket in my hand by the time of my flight tomorrow, I am still flying to Denver, because Stubhub guarantees that I will get in to the concert. It just sucks that this is as stressful as it is.
Damn that’s frustrating dude. I imagine everything will work out alright, but good luck with how everything plays out, I’ve got my fingers crossed for ya.
Your golf story naturally made me think of “Welcome to Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge. I am Carvallo."
JRAD was fun last night! Divided Sky and Bathtub Gin teases!
so ready for phish 
-Update-
Still no ticket. Stubhub says the dude has until midnight, but no action can be taken until morning.
::fingers crossed::
Let me know if you need me to kick anyone’s ass.
Enjoy the show!
I’m confused, I thought you said they were being delivered via the app? Why are you still waiting on hard tickets?
^ The hard ticket is lost and gone forever. I am not waiting on that. For some reason when I got my confirmation Email on the replacement, it said The delivery method would be UPS 2 Day, but it was supposed to be an e-ticket. There is much confusion about how that happened.The seller has to authorize the transfer, which is literally as easy as logging in and clicking the transfer button. He hasn’t done that yet. He is cutting it way too close. Stubhub apparently can’t take action until 2.
-update-
I’m going to Phish. That took way more steps than it should have.
^woohoo!
Good afternoon OKP. Dark in the daytime. I may sleep, sleep in the daytime. If I want to stay up for the entire show tonight.
Back at it! Clean shaven and ready to rock. This past weekend was a nice, if not entirely too short, break from reality. I loved Dicks.
Had a blast at Dick’s this past weekend. Now, re-entry… ooof… 
Ug, I had to cancel and Alpine trip back in 2.0 because the shady scalper I used took so long to get me tickets that it was impossible to get them at home and go to the show. Was a total mess. Glad to see it worked out for you and we got to hang, Tom.
Seriously, what a wacky weekend. Love all the hanging out and meetups and then, of course, the shows. I still can’t get over that Friday night jam-filled set but the entire evening was a treat. Can’t wait to give it another listen. Definitely up for next year though I may fly in a [day] early this time…flying in on the day of that Friday show can be rough.
Seems like the only appropriate course of action 
Derp, I meant a DAY early. But hanging there all year don’t sound too bad. STS9’s at Red Rocks this weekend…
I hope to be there all three nights next year.
I just got a text alert saying that my ticket has been delivered.
GMOKP. Enjoying the relaxing solitude of my first weekend morning after the start of the new school year. I am doing a clinical supervision and mentorship for a newly graduated speech path in our district. My first time doing such a thing. Huge bump in responsibility but I’m trying to take it all in stride and not doing bad so far.
Need to start cranking out the watching of this new Twin Peaks season before they pull them off Showtime on demand. I’ve only watched the first episode as of yet. The darkness of it threw me a bit. Where is the quirk? Where is the jazz?
Hope this post finds you all in good spirits.
Good morning y’all. I was glad to wake up in my own bed (in Chicago) after spending Thursday night and Friday morning worrying about whether or not I’d be able to get out of south FL before the storm hit.
I was scheduled to leave from Palm Beach to O’Hare at 4:45 on Thursday night, but that flight was cancelled due to lack of flight attendants. I was freaking out a bit that I wouldn’t be able to find a flight since everyone was trying to leave. I was scrambling to think about how to at least get off the coast, maybe drive to Orlando and try to get a flight from there? Luckily I was able to get a ticket from Fort Lauderdale headed to Dallas leaving at 8:30 Thursday night. ghost was gonna pick me up since he lives near DFW. However, that flight was delayed by about an hour, and after everyone got on the plane, they announced that there were thunderstorms over FL that grounded all westbound flights, and if the pilots waited or flew around it, they’d time out so that flight was cancelled too.
I stayed the night in Fort Lauderdale Thurs night with a ticket to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Austin to Dallas on Friday morning. That flight made it out, and when I got to Austin, I was able to get on a flight to Chicago yesterday night. So short story long, I made it home a day later than scheduled, but there was a lot of stress, and a lot of time spent at airports over that 24 hours or so.
That said I’ve got friends and coworkers who decided to stick around and brave the storm, so I’m hopeful that they stay safe and dry, and that everyone stays safe and dry over the next few days.
GMOKP,
NFL begins in earnest today. My Bears are taking on Matty Ice and The Falcons. If this game was in the middle of the season, I would suspect The Bears would lose by 20, but because they are as prepared as they can possibly get, I think they will lose by 12.
I am going to try to read today, but football has a funny way of distracting me.
And you already have 40 points in OKP fantasy, so I’d read too!
I did not read a single word. I sat around watching football all day, and when there was no more football to be watched, I started catching up on Arrow. (Yes, I am that big of a nerd. 
)
The OKP has sailed back into the doldrums, and there is nothing on my schedule, aside from work, for the foreseeable future. Not having a far off date of importance (usually Phish, but sometimes it is a work trip, sporting event or wedding) slowly drawing nearer is a weird feeling. I need something to be excited about, and it clearly isn’t going to be sports this year.
