... End of Transmission.

Is that Geezer the same as GZR - aka Geezer Butler's "solo" project?

I see now that it is not... But I wish it were! I enjoyed that group. A different side of him. Would love if they put out new material.

Thanks for the heads up, and that's a nice lineup. Will the stream be preserved for viewing after-the-fact?

Yes, but only for around 24 hours. Kinda strange, I know, but I think it's for some legal reasons.

 

[NNNN]

I hate to admit this, but I didn't go to the Weedeater / Bongzilla show a couple weeks ago. Will I take this regret to my deathbed? Only time will tell

I had tickets to Failure last week and had to skip it because a fancy dinner with friends ran really late. I am still really upset.

Bummer man. You could have lived vicariously through me...

Another reason to avoid fancy dinners.*

*fancy ≠ good

I am often of the opinion that fancy often equals not good. Most of my favorite meals are decidedly unfancy! As an aside I LOVE cooking just about everything in my cast iron. I'd wager 95% or more of what I make at home is done in cast iron, and the other 5% only because I have to travel with it and need a convenient carrier etc. that cast iron doesn't have.

Some of my absolute favorite places to eat are pretty much the exact opposite of fancy.

cast iron = vintage meal = big bucks

I disagree. Cast iron = using it your entire lifetime = passing it on for generations = cooking anything in it = cheapest long term kitchen investment ever

Seriously, I'm using a pan that my great-grandmother used. I'll never need to buy a replacement. It's not fancy, it's just practical when you learn how to cook on them.

Diner breakfast is one of the greatest things. For me, it's gotta be the shredded hashbrowns rather than cubed:

I used to love the classic American diner. Sadly there's not much I can eat at them anymore.

 

[xJasonSmithx]

99% of the time I would agree with you guys but this fancyish vegan restaurant here in Denver called Somebody People is mindblowingly good. Most of the time it is unfancy food for me but it was my b-day so we splurged.

 

[xJasonSmithx]

The meal almost made up for missing the show. Most fine dining it total bullsh*t though.

I recently went from cast iron to carbon steel and am super happy with them. I can cook anything in these so easily and perfectly now. I still have my cast irons, just use em less.

I haven't heard of that place. I'll have to check it out.

When it comes to food in general, though, Aurora > Denver

Many a night has been spent at IHOP, doinked as hell, waiting for my Belgian waffle. Sometimes I'll get the breakfast combo on the side and it looks pretty similar to that breakfast except I get bacon. Gotta agree, has to be shredded hash browns. Regardless, now I'm hungry!

This has a few mildly doomy moments...



My first attempt at something resembling a "real" album.

oh man, did you ever play with the JPTR FX Kaleidoscope? Especially the swell function would work great for you

I haven't but I'll definitely check it out. I've been intrigued by their pedals in general for a bit now.

I hear carbon steel is good too, though I'm unfamiliar with them. I'm an old Boy Scout, so cast iron makes sense in that regard. Can you use carbon steel on a campfire/grill? That's one of my favorite things about cast iron - I can use the same pan and/or recipes regardless of if I'm camping or at home. I've had some friends give me a hard time about setting up my "kitchen" while camping, but then they see their dinner vs. mine and their attitudes change!
