I met your secret lover, i'd have to say that i'm more impressed by his nice personality rather than his climbing resume. Although it'd be nice to learn some of that speed shit from him.

NEVER!

yeah, NoFX...now there is talent for ya

I also read something that lammy wrote about the phish guy claiming that plaing music was alot like sex.... I have always thought that was the case... I find this verry interesting. so what would you say to a musician that does not have this experience???? are they doing something wrong???? What is Dru's point exactly? I respond, so what if the dude can play the guitar on a trampoline? Big deal, it's just for fun. Phish was spawned out of the 80's and alot of their onstage antics were just a comical response to the "Hair Bands" of the day who took themselves way to seriously. Those gimics were an attempt to make each night a different experience, and involve the croud in the show. Ever hear of the secret language, or the big ball jam??? Stupid maybe, yeah...but doesn't it feel good to actualy be a part of a show, rather than just another spectator forking out big $ for a rehearsed wired production. This is what I allways loved about Phish, the band seemed just like some other guys in the room with everybody, except that they could blow your mind, or drop the energy with a heartbeat. What I have noticed about people who rag on Phish is that they realy have no idea of the bands history, or how they evolved over 16 years of playing together. As for your second point sk, I'm sure every artist gets something different out of what they due, but esentialy the act is self indulgent, similar to climbing. The thing that makesPhish different than alot of other bands is the effort they put into including their fans in what they do. That what is makes a Phish show special, for me at least. Oh, and the psychedelics help, but arn't nessecary.

greeeaat... it's kinda funny that the Bibler website does not have any information about warranty or repair.

yeah, now a days it's cool to hate phish your a trend setter e-dog

I fell glissading on monday with a big fat Raindog pack on, didn't spear myself...but I think I had whiplash. Dale R told me a story about this guy he saw up at ICY BC walking around at the base without crampons. He slipped and put his ice tool deep into his knee. He said that inorder for them to get him out the guy had to pull the thing out on his own.No one there would do it for him. Sounds gnarly.

totaly

Actually, trey doesn't really play while on the tramp (other than strum a chord or two)...but mike does. Tell me what music isn't self indulgent wanking? Like Les Claypool isn't??? Sure man whatever. Ever hear of Oysterhead? Anyway, it's not like Trey doesn't admit to it. Here is a pharaphrase quote from Bittersweet Motel. "When were jaming it's like an orgasim for me...so when I'm playing it's like I'm coming the whole time!" Kinda of gross yeah, but tell me you haven't thought the same thing at least once on a stellar route. [ 08-22-2002, 08:50 AM: Message edited by: Lambone ]

I think it's funny how anytime Phish is mentioned, they are allways judged based on the majority of fans that follow them. Can you imagine how frustrating that must be for them, considering they are your ordinary jeans and t-shirt kinda guys who just like to play improve music. Not that I wouldn't trade anything to be a rock star

oooouuuuccchhhh!

'Bone I think that pretty much sums up the Lambone. Actualy that proficy almost came true some time last year after I pissed off caveman!

come on du, we all know thats fake blood!

At least they still have freedom of choice... The pumped in muzak at VW bites ass.

I'd suggest the quarry area, just a couple of hundred yards up the trail from the lower wall. Or one of the aid routes on the upper wall that actualy still requires pins. There is only one way to realy learn how to bounce test a tied of blade...

quote: Originally posted by iain: Phish - overrated! -Iain The funny thing about that is that they are really not overrated, nor ever have been. Most popular music critics hate them, they have never had a top selling album, Picture of Nectar was actualy once rated worst album of the year, they produced one of the stupidist MTV vidieos ever...etc, ect. Sure they have many dedicated fans, but so does Metalica, Cher, and Barbara Striesand(Sp?)...

I think its freakin hilarious...

I once conected an arc from one mit to the next. It was a very scary night. We cowered in a snow trough for hours trying to recal the steps for CPR. We were both sure it was the end. Tonys gaitors were incinerated when he through them because sparkes were flying off the buckles...we never found them in the morning. Every rouck around had a foot tall electric probe coming off of it. We made sure not to sit on the rocks!

Since JayB brought him up, here is a Lambone case-in-point: Lambone defending Larry the Tool's aggressive and intimidating actions at the SCW parking lot. All he was trying to do was take the contrary view which obviously opens one up to serious flame-age. Greg W[/QB] You're right there spraymaster Greg, and I never complained about all the shit I got from that. I sorta felt bad about unintentionaly insulting alpine brother mattp, but other wise I was just fuckin around. I've taken my share of shit from the pigs, and I hate to see em just as much as the next dirtbag... I still think those who openly dis on sport climbers on this board are lame closed minded pricks. Spray on! [ 08-21-2002, 12:29 PM: Message edited by: Lambone ]

You've got a lot of negativity built up in you there ian, you must have had some sort of bad experiance sometime...too bad. You can dis Trey's work, but until you come up with something as original and creative, your words are like thin air. By the way, the music came first, and the silly story was added later after some mushroom trip...

The zippers on my 10 year old three season North Face tent are still in perfet shape. Everything breaks eventualy sure, but a $600 tent...on it's second trip out I don't know, I probably just got a bogus one. And hikerwa...its not the cost of a ground sheet, its the weight and bulk. I'd rather have a more durable floor. Integral Designs makes one with a thiker floor. Anybody have experience with that? [ 08-21-2002, 09:23 PM: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Chode-a-blow- We didn't want, need, or ask for a helo., it was out of our hands. They weren't my first and second glacier climb by any stretch of the imagination, and it isn't my first four season tent. I've spent many a night in Biblers and Intergral Designs Single wall tents, and finaly after years of wanting one, was able to aquire one this summer. I find it dificult to refrain from profanity, but its not worth it...cheers prick Carolyn- they arent YKK zippers. They are Ideal??? Never hear of them... It was an I tent, and I assume the others have the same zipper. The zipper broke with no tension on it, the problem seems to be the teeth. I am suprised they use such a wimpy zipper. I would have checked it out previously but we ordered it on-line. I'm takin it back to REI first, for convinience and time sake. If that doesn't work I guess I'll havta send it back. I was pissed at first, but now I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. Is it a fluke thing, or can I expect it to happen again if I have it replaced...? The floor also has several small holes from sleeping on dry bivi spots for just a few nights...weak. I wanted a light tent, carrying a foot print seems to defeat the purpose of a Bibler in the first place.
