Ah, Raleigh. My old stomping grounds and where my son was born. Walnut Creek always is a good vibe. They did a famous Colonel Forbin's there once (8-7-98) ... missed it by one town this time. Wish I was there.
On another note, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band saxophone player Clarence Clemons died today after suffering a stroke on June 12. He used to sit in with the Grateful Dead back in the day. Here is footage of Clarence performing Standing On the Moon with Jerry and the boys. The video isn't great but the music is wonderful.
Second set Phish tribute??? I'm sure they heard ....

Summer Reading Plans!
To contact us Click HERE
Without further ado, here are my summer books that I plan on reading. From top to bottom:
True Prep by Lisa Birnbach: I picked this book up forever ago, and I've decided that I'm finally going to sit down and read it. It seems like every prep has read this and I'm curious to find out what all the hype is about.
The Perfect Wagnerite by George Bernard Shaw: This is another book I picked up forever ago. I want to read this because I want to get to know and understand Wagner's operas better. It's all about learning people.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien: I read this when I was younger, and with the movie coming out soon (here's the trailer), I thought it was high time I read it again. For the movie, I hope Peter Jackson does this book well in film, just as he did the whole LOTR trilogy.
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay: I've heard this book is really sad, but amazing, so I'm starting first thing after I finish How We Decide. It's also been on Boyfriend's Netflix queue forever so I want to read it before we watch it.
Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin: This is going to be my girly indulgence for the summer, and if I end up liking it, I'll read the rest of her books. I've heard good things about them.
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett: I've wanted to read this book for a long time, but for some reason, I've pushed it back countless times. I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about this book or the author.
What are you planning on reading this summer? Any other suggestions for me?
And, I'm being featured today at Being Greek, so check it out!

Sunday Confessions
To contact us Click HERE
Today is my Big's bridal shower! I'm so excited. I'm so happy with the gift I got her, and I hope she loves it. I can't wait for the wedding in August! And, I'm also pretty pumped because after, I'm heading home for a few days. Hallelujah. So, I'm really looking forward to the next couple of days. Haha.
I'm linking up with Alyx from Everyday is a New Adventure for Sunday Confessions. All photos are mine.
1. I like candles. I used to not have too many, but because Bath and Body Works recently had a sale, I stocked up. And, these smell amazing. I picked up Drenched Apple Flower, White Palm, and Peach Bellini. Target also has a surprisingly good selection of candles.
2. Cute coasters. When I moved into my new apartment, I didn't have any coasters (If that's the worst of my problems, I can deal). So I figured I would just get new coasters when they spoke to me, and I found these at Michael's, for a total of $4. They're nautical and ceramic, so I love them, and they look great on my coffee table.
3. I love summer reading. But who doesn't, really? Now that I have a balcony, I can spend summer afternoons outside reading and working. It's a hard life. Haha.
4. I enjoy my work. I really do. Though I need to reorganize my desk almost daily, I communicate with a wide variety of people and I find what I do really rewarding. I can even do my nails while I type.
5. I'm so happy with my new planner. It's perfect, and definitely a step up from the one I had previously. I needed more space for writing, and I wanted something a little more personal. The Lilly large agenda fits the bill perfectly, and I can't wait for school to start so I can really use it.
What are your confessions this week?

Sparkler Fun
To contact us Click HERE
I figured in spirit of July 4th swiftly approaching, I'd share some pictures that some friends and I captured over Memorial Day weekend. When people have extra sparklers lying around, you should always take advantage of them, and as a result, we got some pretty great photos and Instagrams.
Group girl shot, Instagram courtesy of WS. We stood out on SD's and KP's balcony for the majority of the night.
It's safe to say we did this for about an hour, and went through quite a few boxes of sparklers. Don't worry, no one was hurt.
Shameless hand picture.
Are you going to be playing with sparklers this Fourth of July?

How To: Wear Mint Pants
To contact us Click HERE
So I recently jumped on the mint and/or colored pants trend (so what if I'm a little late) and naturally, I went to Pinterest to figure out how to style them. I got the JCrew Scout Chino this past weekend, and I love them, but I was a little lost initially. I can see myself wearing them a lot this summer, much like my white jeans actually. I also picked up the most perfect scalloped eyelet white dress and a really great stripped tshirt.
Also, coming up on the blog next week will be a recap from my Big, JHM's bridal shower. It was beautiful, and I loved what everyone wore. The event is getting me really excited for the wedding in August, which I'll be sure to post about.

Do you have any suggestions on how I should wear my new pants? How do you wear mint pants?

Bossypants and Anthem
To contact us Click HERE
I'm linking up with Heather from Blonde...Undercover Blonde for Book Club Friday!
Bossypants by Tina Fey
This book was hilarious. I borrowed it from Suze and I'm so glad I did. It read really fast, and I feel like I appreciate Fey as an actress more now. I always thought that she was funny, but it was interesting to learn about her life and past. I also didn't realize that she regarded Alec Baldwin as a great actor, apparently I haven't been paying attention to him. Haha. Bossypants was a completely unplanned and unexpected read, but I loved it, and you would too.
Anthem by Ayn Rand
As I continue on my quest to read all of Rand's books, (Here's my Fountainhead review) I read this book, which was considerably shorted than Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. If you like Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, or 1984, you'll like this too. It's a dystopian novel much like the rest, and was relatively quick and easy to read. After reading Rand's two huge books, this was a breeze.

Phish began their second of four nights at the Garden with a bang, The Sloth > You Enjoy Myself. While this show didn't quite rise to the heights of the first night, in my opinion, and others, there are still some great moments in this show and it is worth having if just for the Lifeboy, one of my all-time favorite Phish ballads, and the interesting Weekapaug. I want to thank all the tapers for capturing this evening. Thanks a lot guys!

Phish - "Mike's Song > Chalk Dust Torture > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove" 12/29/11 from Phish on Vimeo.
The recordings this evening, like the prior evening, don't have the great bass tone of some of the better recordings from the summer. Once again, I suspect this must have been a problem with the sound system. However, that said, the differences between these six recordings are largely minor. The very best is not radically different from the very worst. Thanks a lot guys, you made some great pulls!
The SPC4 source is probably the second best source. The bass tone is nice, though not quite as defined as the KC5 source, but still better than some of the others. The levels are good as well.
The CCM4V source is missing some tonality down low and is not quite as bright sounding as the KC5 source either.
The DPA source has relatively low levels, though still decent, and nice bass tone, but not the punch of the KC5 source. The high-end doesn't sound as nice on this source as the KC5 source either.
The TLM170 source has great bass response, but it borders on boomy. The high-end isn't as crisp as the MK41>KC5 source and the low-end, while kicking the sub plenty hard, doesn't have the punch of the KC5 source either.
As I have mentioned repeatedly above, the MK41>KC5 source is my pick for best of the evening. It has nice crisp highs and the low-end is quite good as well. Definitely an enjoyable recording.
The MK41>KCY source has ridiculously high levels. Really in your face recording. The high-end is a bit too bright to my ears, and the low-end has a bit of boominess.
Happy listening!

Hey Folks!
Sorry for the long delay between posts and the delay on getting started on this summer tour. I was on vacation last week and this is my first chance to delve into this summer's madness. And madness it was to start the tour off right. The second set to this show has been rightly praised and you owe it to yourself to set aside the time to listen to the whole thing. There are nine sources available for this night. I want to thank all the tapers for taking the time to record the show and share it with the rest of us.

Phish - 6/7/12 "Buried Alive > Runaway Jim" from Phish on Vimeo.
Again, I'm terribly sorry about the delay. I had hoped to have this up on Monday, but slow internet connection in my hotel room prevented that. Then yesterday a construction crew tore out the cable to my house running under the street. But, all that has been fixed and you can expect regular updates as the summer tour progresses. I will be hitting Cincy this Friday and will be at the Creek next week, if you see me say hello. And as always, look out for the tapers and give them your thanks when you see them.
The M200 source has lower levels than the MK22 or DPA sources and the bass response isn't nearly as good. That said, as with most Geffell sources, it is nice and warm and sounds great on phones as well as speakers. However, it is not, in my opinion, quite as good as the MK22 or DPA 4023 source.
The CCM4v source is also very warm sounding, but the bass is not as well defined down low as the DPA4023 or MK22 source.
The MD441u source is quite good, but like the M200 and CCM4v source, just doesn't have that great definition down low that I really like to hear.
The MK22 source is quite good. The levels are excellent, the separation is fantastic and the response is full across the spectrum. However, there is a slight tone difference between it and the DPA 4023 source and I just barely prefer the DPA source. However, if you have already downloaded the MK22 source, there is really no reason to replace it.
The DPA 4023 source is my preferred source for this evening. The sonic separation is fantastic, the bass is rich and well defined, and the levels are perfect. There is a bit of crowd noise here, but to my ears, it adds rather than detracts. You don't hear conversations, just the occasional Woot!
The DPA 4011 source has nice bass response, but is boomier than either the MK22 or DPA 4023 source.
The MG210, like the other Microtech sources, sounds quite good, it just lacks the bass clarity at the lowest frequencies.
The Schoeps Matrix is quite boomy sounding, like the bass tone knob was turned up. The bass response is quite good, but the high-end just doesn't have the crispness of the MK22 or DPA 4023 sources.
The Microtech Matrix is also quite boomy and in this case, the bass is poorly defined as well.
Happy listening!
Sorry for the long delay between posts and the delay on getting started on this summer tour. I was on vacation last week and this is my first chance to delve into this summer's madness. And madness it was to start the tour off right. The second set to this show has been rightly praised and you owe it to yourself to set aside the time to listen to the whole thing.

Once again, thanks to all the tapers. If you are at a show, please be courteous around the tapers. You don't want your drunk ramblings preserved for posterity do you? Thanks again!
The MK22 source has great levels, a fair amount of crowd noise, though not as much as the DPA 4023 source. The bass response is quite nice, but on close inspection, is just not as good as the DPA 4023 source. Notice the intro to Sand, on the DPA 4023 source, the bass is quite distinct and on this source, it just isn't quite up to that level.
The M200 source, just like the night before, is quite warm sounding, but lacks tonal clarity in the lowest frequencies.
The MD441u source is a very good sounding recording, probably the 3rd best of the night. However, like most of the other tapes, it just doesn't have that crystal clear tone at the lowest frequencies that the DPA 4023 source has.
The CCM4v source is very boomy without much clarity in the lower registers.
The DPA 4011 source sounds a bit hollow in the mids, particularly compared to the MK22 and DPA 4023 sources. The bass is also a bit boomy.
The DPA 4023 source is my pick for the night. It has great levels, outstanding separation, and great tonal clarity throughout the frequency range. The only downside of this recording is that the crowd noise is noticeably more than on the previous nights recording.
The AKG source doesn't have the excellent separation of the DPA 4023 source and the bass tone isn't as clear at the lowest frequencies.
Happy listening!

With Phish just finishing a scorching two night run in Worcester prior to jetting off for Tennessee, it is not surprising that there weren't a great many tapers there for this show. Many of you probably, like myself, saw this show on the webcast. It certainly doesn't offer the jamming that the Worcester shows had, but it is fun in its own right and the Tweezer and Carini>Shafty are definitely worth the re-listen. There are two different sources available for this show. Thanks a lot for the tapers that captured this and shared it with the scene.

The MK21 source is my pick for the best of the two. The levels are excellent, the separation is very good, and the bass response is quite good as well. There is minimal crowd noise, which can be a problem at a festival. The mids are noticeably superior to the CK1 source and the low-end really hits well during "the note" at the beginning of Tweezer Reprise.
The CK1 source doesn't have the tight high-end of the MK21 source and the levels get a bit crunchy at times. The recording is quite good, but with the level problems, I would pass on this and grab the MK21.

After a festival set at the 'roo, Phish took most of the next week off prior to what many believe was the real start of tour. A three day, non-festival, stand at Bader Field in Atlantic City, NJ.

Phish - 6/15/12 "Birds Of A Feather > Back On The Train > Heavy Things" from Phish on Vimeo.
The AKG source has less separation than the M934c source and lacks in tonal clarity at the lowest frequencies. Basically, it is not as crisp sounding as the Schoeps sources.
The M934c source gets my nod for recording of the evening. The bass tone is excellent without being overpowering and the high-end is fantastic. This recording has great tone and is well balanced from the lows to the highs. I think this is a new set of mics for taylorc, I could be wrong about that, but he consistently produces great recordings and this one is no exception. There is a fair amount of crowd noise, but it is not super distracting.
The MK21 source is also quite good. The companion source to the M934c, it just doesn't have the great highs of the M934c, though the bass is quite good, possibly a touch more rich than the M934c's. However, at closer listen, I like the balance of the M934c's a bit better and definitely like the high-end more.
The MK4v is a very, very good recording. The low-end has a bit more punch than the MK21 or M934c sources, but the levels are a bit lower and the highs don't sound as nice.
The MK41v, a companion source to the MK4v, sounds a bit distant and is quite bass heavy.
Happy listening!

Phish - 6/15/12 "Birds Of A Feather > Back On The Train > Heavy Things" from Phish on Vimeo.
The AKG source has less separation than the M934c source and lacks in tonal clarity at the lowest frequencies. Basically, it is not as crisp sounding as the Schoeps sources.
The M934c source gets my nod for recording of the evening. The bass tone is excellent without being overpowering and the high-end is fantastic. This recording has great tone and is well balanced from the lows to the highs. I think this is a new set of mics for taylorc, I could be wrong about that, but he consistently produces great recordings and this one is no exception. There is a fair amount of crowd noise, but it is not super distracting.
The MK21 source is also quite good. The companion source to the M934c, it just doesn't have the great highs of the M934c, though the bass is quite good, possibly a touch more rich than the M934c's. However, at closer listen, I like the balance of the M934c's a bit better and definitely like the high-end more.
The MK4v is a very, very good recording. The low-end has a bit more punch than the MK21 or M934c sources, but the levels are a bit lower and the highs don't sound as nice.
The MK41v, a companion source to the MK4v, sounds a bit distant and is quite bass heavy.

Phish at The Gorge Setlist, Latest News
To contact us Click HERE
Tweet
Today, I am heading off to my 13th and 14th Phish shows at The Gorge Amphitheatre. I'm proud to say I've caught every show the band has played at The Gorge since Summer Tour 1997 due to the fact that I moved to Eugene in 1994 and graduated from the University of Oregon in `97.
Come to think of it, that's not quite true. I was there when Phish played The Gorge in 2009 but had to skip the second show and boogie on back to my then-hometown of Bend, Oregon in time for a party celebrating my son's 5th birthday. So, actually it will be my 12th and 13th shows at The Gorge. (Shhhh! Just wag it and don't tell anybody. That's just between you and me.)
On a side note, my son was born August 8, 2004. The following evening was the Hampton Coliseum show on the final leg of Summer Tour 2004, which was just a few days before Coventry and The Break Up.
So, in my 18-year career seeing Phish I've missed two shows due to my son's emergence into the world, but that's OK by me. I wouldn't trade the chance to spend time with him for anything. Not even a guaranteed Gamehendge.
The August 1997 Gorge run also was the year they opened with Theme from the Bottom, and when Trey asked Chris Kuroda to turn off the lights so the band could play under the stars--the best version of Harry Hood I've ever witnessed in person then unfolded.
I won't be blogging from the shows; my fingers are looking forward to some time off, being that I work full time as a freelance writer.
If you e-mail photos, or links to photos, of your Gorge experience (or your Couch Tour experience listening to the Gorge run) I'll post them here for all to see.
So, have a great weekend everyone and keep your fingers crossed for a Divided Sky, for there is nothing like seeing that song performed at The Gorge.
