First @dead.net box set I ever bought way back in high school. Before I knew about eras or albums, I had this. Dick’s Picks Volume 6. Hartford Civic Center 10/14/1983. Thank you @realgonemusic for releasing it on vinyl again. Very excited.

This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the Clifford Ball, @phish.com ’s 1st of 11 (and counting) festivals. This festival marked the attempt to bring European festival infrastructure and style to America and would consciously and unconsciously influence Bonnaroo, Coachella, and more.

An important Boston landmark for any cinephiles out there: This veterinary clinic was the site of the car rental office where John Bennett worked in the film “Ted” It’s also where Ted Bear hits a car because he was sending a tweet.

Good words for our current situation:
Quote on blue and white day calendar that states “Live. Hold Out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.” - Octavia E. Butler from the Parable of the Sower
