Steveās here! We did it, bud.
Good morning! Everybody rushing to the store for covid sale?
Iām at work and feeling so so so tired.
Was it the mass amount of food? Was it the mass amount of indica?
The world may never know.
Good Day OKP! Nice to see all your familiar faces/names again. I think I like it bettter here than on FB now. lol. This was such a fun and friendly place to interact and looking back on some old posts brought back some nice memories. I found the OKP right after college and it was a place I found my voice and some people i connected with, then went to my first multi-band festival with, and then did some of my first phish tours with. I never forgot any of you and I hope all is well. Also, neck once accidentally texted me a year ago thinking i was his cousin and that was hillarious. Peace and love to all of you and donāt forget to grab some good deals today. Retail therapy lol. We got a jamaica vacation for winter recess, then ringfit adventure and i got 2 pairs of shoes. woot. Now iām gonna get some work done (aka lesson planning).
Happy Friday!
Good morning. Happy Saturday.
Just lying around here. Iām about to heat up some leftover pancakes and bacon. Hunger will overcome laziness.
Iām about to watch Transylvania 6-5000. I havenāt seen it in at least 30 years.
I started putting weight on my leg on Thursday. Partial weight for two weeks. Iāve been using a walker so I can gently and slowly stand on my leg. It definitely hurts with full weight. The bone might be healing, but all the tendons and ligaments and whatever else have to get back to normal. My foot is still purple.
Continue having a good weekend
Good morning OKP. I had good intentions of making my visits more frequent after the reboot, but, life, ya know?
One (half) step at a time, Eli. I havenāt heard the name Transylvania 6-5000 in possibly longer than 30 years. And Iām pretty ok with that.
Hey Marianne! Great to see you and all the other familiar names above!

I start looking forward to my coffee a day ahead, so I might as well say good morning to you for tomorrow right now too. 
I may just take an afternoon nap today. A rarity for me, but I woke up earlier than I would have liked, on the one morning I can sleep in. Also heard that people sleep in the daytime if they want to, so Iām checkin it out. But first, cereal. And more coffee.
Good Saturday morning to you all.
Wait, should I post in the Saturday thread?
Is it still morning?

Wait, where is Neck?

Good morning OKP!
This morning has me thinking about the band Goose again. Not here to hate, but I havenāt been able to āgetā why people regard them so highly. I personally donāt find them more unique than any other band in the jam circuit, just a different flavor. If anyone has an intro show or song they can suggest, Iād be all ears.
NB: Perhaps Iām also just less interested in ājam bandsā these days and more interested in listening to some real killer improv thatās more on the jazz, funk, or soul side. Maybe, as a guitarist Iām just tired of listening to guitarists.
I need a second cup of coffee.
Ok good morning first of all, letās get that out in the open.
Second, I dunno if anyone saw any of the long fb post Little did about cults, but this Phish shitās got me good. Iāve been listening to almost nothing but Phish shows for weeks now, except when I throw something else in to deliberately avoid burning out on Phish, just so I can keep going. Thatās some twisted cult bullshit right there, whoops.
Third, I have considered making myself a Phish.net account, who has one? The OKP rules and all, but yāall ā¦ I canāt pretend I havenāt noticed the pace of conversation.
Second, though. Phish cult. Thereās something up psychologically, with fandom. I just donāt even care about plenty of bands, and Iām sure theyāre great, maybe even the greatest? Not sure Iām interested.
I have a .net account just to track my attended shows.
Whatās your okp account for? 
Good morning dudes, ^happy bday to Will!
Iāve been listening to oh, a few shows, 2/20/20, 11/29 & 30 2019, 9/13/1990, 12/30/92, 10/17/18, 11/21/97 11/22/97, 6/30/00, 7/08/16, 7/15/03, you know just a few shows.
Hmmmm, can you track your shows here as a reference guide? That is some weird wild stuff, I did not know that.
Anyone else get subscribed to a lot of email stuff lately? There are two possible suspects and, sadly, this is one.
Not I. Good morning though, hope youāre well, 'El
Iām about to resume Lord of the Rings w/ the famā. We watched the first three of six extended edition DVDs last night. Nobody fell asleep, feeling like this is the way to go. Originally planned to slam it all into one day but we became reasonable.
Alright I donāt know what to tell you guys, but thatās a start. ? I got in some disc golf at Ninigret, was aāight ā¦ snowās a cominā ā¦ best of luck with your football thing, my wife and Mom both seem way more into it than me, must be cuz Bradyās hot I guess? Good mornin.
Nope!
Hey Steve! I havenāt seen a rise in any spam emails since switching over, and Iād be surprised if it was due to our move to Discourse. Anyone else having that issue?
Good morning Oh Kee Pa. Nice to see you.
I have noticed an influx of new spam emails, but seems like only in more recent weeks, as opposed to the months since we switched over. My email gets dragged all over the place, so OKP is likely not the culprit.
Itās been a long, trying year. I think we are finally reaching the downward slope out, worse for the wear.
I am a .net member. Hope thatās ok to admit here. OKP will always be my first Phish forum love. In fact, my love for this place is what drove me to seek a new replacement when we dwindled.

Itās still morning as I start this, so it counts, right?
I had a remarkable experience this past weekend - my FIRST large live music event! Billy Strings hit the newly-developed ColaConcerts stage in Columbia, SC. The company is also behind the pod-style distanced shows that popped up in the northeast last fall.
Let me tell you: run to go see these guys live if you havenāt. This is truly music youāll enjoy as it takes its foundation in traditional bluegrass and runs with improvisation at its core. One of my biggest complaints about up-and-coming jam-aligned acts is that many of them are regurgitating rather than reinventing or redefining. Seeing Billy Strings live renewed my faith in musical progress; theyāre acknowledging their roots while also making something unique, and they are exceptional musicians in a TIGHT band.
Now, I was really not prepared for a live music experience. I just cannot express how joyful it was to see other people dancing, having fun, and being kind to one another. Of course it helps that everyone was spread out, and honestly Iām fine with this format for the foreseeable future: no one spilling beer on you, no one blocking your view, no one up in your space. That means a lot after a year of owning your personal space.
Stay healthy, stay smart, and see live music when youāre ready. It, of course, will change your life (again)!
