You don't need a letter of guarantee just to get into China. I was there last year. It’s honestly a bit sketchy that a company is still using a Gmail address, and it makes you wonder if they’ll even be able to access it once Google pulls out of China 🙂
Hello. A close friend of mine is battling this disease, and frankly, the prognosis she’s receiving from her doctors here in the States is nothing short of grim. I’ve been looking into Ayurveda lately, and since I don't know the first thing about the intricacies of that practice, I wanted to see if anyone here has actually dealt with Ayurvedic methods or has experience managing this specific condition.

Give her my best. I personally handled things for her son over in Vietnam. 🙂
Austin Parker4 said:While KSET might not hold quite as many people as Aquarius did, I’m convinced the energy would have been infinitely more intense and upbeat, especially since grabbing a beer before $5.00 is much easier than waiting until later. Plus, the stage actually feels closer to the crowd. The only thing I'll concede is that Aquarius has superior ventilation, which kept the temperature perfectly comfortable. Regardless, the concert was absolutely phenomenal; sure, they might be somewhat reminiscent of Tom Waits, but does that really stop you from having an incredible time?😕
Honestly, the vibe at Aquarius was just depressing, like being at a funeral. What an absolute moron 🙂 Screw KSET
The one thing I truly never expected was for Billy to be having marital issues 🙄 They met back when they were busking on the streets of Berlin, and some two broads stood there listening, liked what they heard, and he invited them back to a party and all that usual nonsense Basically, the man enjoys his drinks, obviously. Everything was fine while she was still living in Berlin, but once they got close and she moved in with him, well, what else is a woman supposed to do besides nag? 😁 She started lecturing him about drinking too much, telling him he shouldn't stumble when he walks, and all that other mindless drivel And now he’s dealing with that, just like any self-respecting drunk would 😁 Since he can't stay sober all the time anyway, he decided to start smoking, and he actually turned it into an advantage. He drinks his beers more slowly when he gets stoned so he can actually savor them. Plus, he’s lucky enough to travel constantly, which lets him sample different brews, and he loves wandering through unfamiliar cities to find inspiration. He claims that simply walking allows him to catch a rhythm in his stride, and then the melodies just come to him 😁 When he heads home to his girl, he writes those melancholy love songs, but when he's somewhere without a woman, he produces something much harder 😁 Now, as for how we used to smoke that crap. We smuggled it across the border hidden in the guitarist's mouth because, as he put it, there are plenty of easy targets at the airport in St. Petersburg 🤣 Essentially, you wrap the shit in foil, light it from underneath, and inhale through a tube. There’s no tobacco in it, and he insists that’s healthier since he’s a doctor 🤣 And I have to say, that Tom Waits stuff hits incredibly hard. The man is truly legendary 🙏
I think someone should just merge that initial thread about The Rolling Stones with this one so everything stays organized in one place.😍 Banderas and Austin Doyle40, I am incredibly grateful to you both.🙏
After getting wasted with Billy last night at my place, I can only say that I am utterly captivated by the man. He is incredibly talented, remarkably down-to-earth, and genuinely kind-hearted. If there is any interest, I will recount his stories here on this thread because we spent hours talking through the night 😁 Regarding the concert, I can state with absolute certainty that it was the greatest show I have ever attended in my life, especially toward the end when we agreed he would make a certain move if he felt satisfied with the Audience 😁 Kudos to the Audience as well, as I have never heard such an ovation anywhere in Aquarius. All in all, I’m staying in touch with him, so we'll just have to screw over Banderas and Austin Doyle40 to get them to call him so we can enjoy ourselves again 😁

There is absolutely a concert scheduled, 😁 and frankly, I am convinced this will be the most incredible performance I have ever witnessed. 😁 Are you seriously telling me you can't make it? 🙂 🙂 Total loser. 🙂
Austin Doyle40 said:I just hope Thomas Diaz6 didn't absolutely wreck 😁, catch you guys later
I didn't, though we had an absolute blast yesterday, and honestly, it’s been ages since I’ve laughed that hard. Around 3 AM last night, I was literally sitting there with a massive map of the city, sketching out the exact walking route he needed to take to get to the Greyhound station because he stubbornly refused to let me drive him. He insisted he was some kind of hiking enthusiast 😁 and just threw on a hat, grabbed his bag, and vanished into the night. We were smoking some Russian garbage too, which pretty much destroyed us, but I have to hand it to him, he's something else 🙏
I’ve stocked up on a massive haul of beer and now I’m just sitting here waiting 😁 for Billy to show up at my place to drink, and then at 5 in the morning, I'll be driving him to the bus station so he can get back to his wife. We certainly had our luck. 🙏 By the way, they sound significantly better live 🙏 Adios 😁
Austin Doyle40 said:Maybe they’ll even have The White Stripes join them on stage, since those guys will probably be hitting up Aquarius later that night.😁👍
Please, spare me the thought of those kids crashing our party while we're all drunk.😬
vividcyclist35 said:There isn't much left to say other than God takes those he should have let live. He left us with such a massive legacy, and his name is etched into legend forever. I was flipping through a Fender catalog today and saw they only produced 100 units of the SRV Stratocaster, and honestly, I'd gladly hang one of them on my wall just to look at. To me, Stevie was the purest white blues guitarist to ever exist; that specific sound of his is something that won't surface again anytime soon, if ever. What are your thoughts on him?
A stylistic hack who relied entirely on technical drills and nothing else. In my eyes, he’s nothing more than a decorative figure in the world of guitarists. 👎 👎 👎

How on earth did you manage that???
Anyway... I assume you're in a splint now, right? And they didn't have to sink any orthopedic screws into the bone, I hope. You'll have a follow-up in a week, and once they take more X-rays, they'll probably just slap you in a full cast for three or four weeks!
😲 Well, I've got something resembling a cast on, though I can't tell if it's an actual cast or just a heavy-duty splint. 🤔 I really hope they aren't going to force me into a full cast too.🙄
