The Gorge Report

Robert Hunter ~3:45-4:45
Allman Brothers Band ~5:00-7:10
The Dead ~8:10>9:20, 10:05-12:30
Uhhh,….well, I’m normally polite you know, but Holy Shit!!!
Hunter was delicious, the Allman Brothers Band smoked, and The Dead, well, you’ve read about those shows, maybe even been at one. This was one of those times!

Portland Report (preliminary)

The Dead July 2, 2004 Columbia Meadows

1:44 AM
This will be brief this morning. I hope to write more during the drive to The Gorge tomorrow (later this morning).
Every Dead show is different. Those of you in the choir understand this. Boise and Portland were no exception…really night and day. And more discussion is what will have to wait….
For now simply
…Corinna shattered into a million shards of glass atomized as they scrape across the chalk board and the world recreated by primal drummers into a delicately searing Stella Blue…
tears fill the world.
When there is more it will be beneath the fold.

Acronyms of Pain

It’s unlikely that you will find these acronyms in an IM chat:

The dry-erase boards scream profanity across the ER.
Letters of blue roar:
OOC (out of control — usually after crack or methamphetamine)!”
They cry:
ICH (intra-cranial hemorrhage),
AMS (altered mental status),
SSCP (substernal chest pain),
GIB (gastrointestinal bleed),
AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm),
SBP (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis)!”
They mock:
AOB (alcohol on breath)!”
HOD (heroin overdose)…”
