Speaking of goose, I saw an article today that says everyone that was in attendance at a goose show in Chicago may have been exposed to bat rabies. Like how the **** does that happen?

And speaking of drummers for jam bands, you know the one thing that always set phish apart from all the other jam bands, is John Fishman. He's the Difference Maker. He's an absolute genius and lays down the most ridiculous rhythms, which take what would be an ordinary rock sounding Jam tune and turn it into something completely unique. I've yet to find another jam band that had a drummer that captured my attention in the same way.

i'll have to listen out goose w/ new drummer

btw, their cover of pumped up kicks is killer. really enjoyed that.

When you've got an evening to pop some adult favors / drink some adult beverages, do so and watch this:

Internet is back on. Will catch up on things over the next week or so, still not going to be posting much however.

As odd as it may sound, I actually sort of enjoyed my internet break minus the apocalypse part. I had been intending to have a "no tech" day for about the past year. Didn't think a day would turn into about 2 weeks though. All I've been doing is shooting basketball (my hoop is wedged under a building, so it didn't get knocked down) and reading books these past couple weeks. Read all the Harry Potter books, besides the first 2. Averaged probably 10 hours of reading a day, did the Prisoner of Azkaban in a single day. The others in 2-3 days each. First books I've read in probably 15 years.

Montrezl Harrell seems to be enjoying himself in the Aussie league. He has done wonders for the Adelaide program

Bold prediction Dame and Giannis will be traded this season.

Giannis has been rumored to be wanting to leave for a bigger market for the last few years.

Dame has never looked happy in Milwaukee the moment he arrived. He wanted Miami.

Doc Rivers his teams always blow up. I think this could be a wild NBA season.

casual Eric fans love the hype calls
us sophisticated Eric fans love the out of left field random stats and the constant references to Charlotte roads and surrounding counties/towns, high schools etc
