Cat Splaining.........

 so dee mum thot that she shood explain a few things. 

furst, dee weed abatement team.  dee mum and me livez in a active adult community in northern catafurrnarnia.  Woven in between 3000 acres of homes are 2 18 holes golf courses and 27 miles of fitness trails and the trails weave thru nature preserves.  that is where the abatement teams come in.  for fire safety reason, all the growth needs to be maintained especially because it get berry berry hot and dry here.  some of the preserve area have wetlands so there are big burds, beavers, coyotes, bob cats, quails and other animals.  the team does not work the golf courses, only the preserve areas.  since we had a very rainy winter this year, the weed growth wuz yuge!!!!  mum walks dee trails when it iz not hot, but now it iz too hot fur that, she goes to the indoor track at the big fitness center in dee community.

 so dee second thing is:

the dead and company shows, the final tour, which is going on right meow!!!!  mum duz not go to the shows anymore fur lotz of reasons, too old, bad back, yuge ticket prices, even parking in some of the venues lots now cost 75-100 dollars, crowds are too big fur mum, when she used to go the shows were way, way smaller crowds, driving long distances or flying costs, hotel rooms  etc.  soo.....cue the geniuses......Nugs TV, https://www.nugs.tv/   prices went up this year but instead of spending 700 dollars for a ticket, gas, hotel etc, we watch the show LIVE!!!  in our living room for 35 dollars a show.  it is streamed with multi cameras and incredible sound quality, it's like being at the show right at the front of the stage, "riding the rail"(at the front of the stage)  as they say.  dee mum haz owr 55" tv set up as the second monitor for the laptop and quad sound.  no bathroom lines, full bar, full kitchen and special features,ME!!!!  the east coast shows start at 4 or 5 pm pst so we still get to bed on time.  there is even a half time show during the set break put on by 2 dead head archivist that go over first set highlights and do pre-video taped interviews with the band members and other members of dead community. they do this on zoom, they even interviewed the owner of nugs, brad serling.


these are dee mums grateful dead tickets that are framed in the spare bedroom, the bigger tickets are for new years eve shows that the famed Bill Graham used to put on the the bay area.
 

dee mum only bot 7 shows to watch for the 23 show on the tour.  but every night that they play, nugs will show the first songs for both sets live for free on nugsnet youtube page, sometimes nugs will get generous and let the free feed run for 20 minutes worth of the set because THEY R AWESUM!!(or someone is just stoned and forgot)  sometimes they will give us live audio stream only for the whole show cause once again, THEY R AWESUM!!

so there you have it.  its a show nite and the show starts 4pm pst philly, not a paid show nite so we will watch the set openers.  I yam ready!!!!

You and your mum are true fans! Any big event is better on TV -- better view, better sound, no people on booze/drugs around you, cheaper too.

That sounds like a fun way to do it! I don't go to concerts anymore for all those same reasons.

Gidget, thank you for giving us some information about the wonderful place where you live. It sounds beautiful with all that wild nature and we're actually glad to know that the Sheep do such a good job helping to control things. And wow on the stay home and enjoy the concert. Now that's the way to see a show live.

Gee! That is a lot of tickets. Bet your mum enjoyed a lot of shows :)
Very cool to have them framed!
Watching on the TV is a more comfy way to watch now.
Mum is older too ;)

PARKING AT 100 BUCKS!!!! Good gravy, how things have changed since mama's era....maybe just suggest to your mama that YouTube has everything you could wish for in concerts. Mama and papa watched Roy Orbison's life video one night for over an hour. WONDERFUL!!! Grateful Dead are there too....
