Thanks for the pics, Smitty, and it was so good to finally meet you!

This morning I went to a "Doughnuts for Dad's" program at my son's school. I wasn't sure work commitments would allow me to go at first, then I heard "cats in the cradle and silver spoon," in my head, then I heard "he's driving through his own headlights and gathering speed," and I knew I best figure out a way to go have doughnuts with my son.

I remember Primer Coat being especially good at the Birmingham shows and that song really resonates with me as a Dad!

I went to doughnuts had a great time.

Also my son, Murphy, is the proud receipient of a DBT hat from the Birmingham shows.

I've been meaning to write on here for a while, but work keeps getting in the way.
What a fantastic weekend! We packed so much into a short period of time, it was tremendous. The shows were great. A huge thank you to Patterson for the love and shout out for UR & I's wedding anniversary, which was 4/10. We had to laugh that the song was Plastic Flowers, and PH even said he didn't mean us to be thinking about what happens in that song. It was very sweet. We had only heard that song 4 times before that night, it was a nice rarity. Speaking of rarity, it was nice to hear Road Cases. It was especially fun watching Schlanky when they were played as he had just told me he really wanted to hear those 2 songs in particular. Great night!

It was so much fun being in one place for 3 nights. The whole vibe was much more relaxed, not having to worry about packing up and driving each day. It enabled us to have some genuine quality time with our 3DD family. We even pulled off a family lunch at Jim & Nick's! They gave us our own little room, I guess they could tell we're a bunch of HeAthens.

Let me try and put some names with the faces:

Starting on the left side, front to back, we have Craig (unofficially Mr. PA Heathen), Luke (Uncle Rickey), Myself, Sarah (CooleyGirl), Britt, (Schlanky), Paige (LitDimly), Karen (PA Heathen), now on the right side, back to front, we have Dean (Tequila Cowboy), Beth (Lurleen McQueen), Michael (Beaverdam), Bryan (Beaverdam's father-in-law), Bill (Worldwide Bill, aka Bill in CT), LaDonna (Smitty's wife), and Smitty.

Lit Dimly, CooleyGirl, PA Heathen, Lurleen McQueen

and in real life, Paige, Sarah, Karen and Beth

A huge thank you to Patterson for the love and shout out for UR & I's wedding anniversary, which was 4/10.

Oh, I hate to hear this! Any anniversary that doesn't score at least 7/10 is a sign of a marriage in trouble.

Just noticed that Dennis Tyler loaded the Friday show on the archive:



Hopefully we'll get a recording of the Saturday show too.
