An Open Letter

Dear Bay Area:

I know you’re a bunch of hippies. I love that you’re a bunch of hippies. But seriously, this was Earl Scruggs. Earl Scruggs! You had an incongruous quantity of marijuana.

Please do a better job of segregating your numerous subcultures in the future.

    Just how much exactly *is* “an incongruous quantity of marijuana”, anyhoo?…
    (IIRC, back when I was in college, it generally took not a few tokes before I could get most anyone else to even listen to any Earl Scruggs…)

    Hey, we at least make the cops lay off the bong when they’re on duty. What more do you want from us?

    Gah, can’t believe I had to miss that. The Scrugs, that is, not the pot.

    The Steve Earle concert was also full of pot, although that’s less of a surprise.
    I was, unfortunately, collared by a woman who wanted to talk about (our) hearing aids for all of Doc Watson. (Finally told her I was having a fabulous time, but I wanted to go see Jimme Dale Gilmore, collected her email, and beat it.)
    Very little pot when I walked through the Dolly Parton concert Sunday.

    LDH: Enough to fill a significant portion of the breezes, for sure.
    s9: Use brownies whenver a bong would produce acute demographic shock, that’s all.
    Harrison: sigh! There’s always next year.
    Wren: eep! I was with the department kidz for Doc, horrible spot at the back of the crowd, could hardly hear.
    I exploded with chores yesterday so didn’t get a chance to see Dolly, or the Be Good Tanyas for that matter - about which I cry tears of sadness, I can assure you.
