Stubhub has rockpile tickets for $262.00 each!
I hate on-line scalpers.

Now maybe we can have more Two Bills Drive, and less off season Two Bills Drivel.
Rock On!

Prayers to you and your family.
Compared to ALL, MS is a walk in the park.
Take it a day at a time and be your best.
God Bless,
Rockpile

From the MS Society:
Where Does the Money Go?
As efficient, effective stewards of our donors’ contributions, we make sure that more than 79 cents out of every dollar we raise goes directly to improve the lives of people living with MS through programs, services and research.
To move us closer to creating a world free of MS, last year alone, the Society invested nearly $50 million to support more than 380 new and ongoing research projects around the world while providing program services to over one million people.
Our supporters’ generous contributions help people affected by MS by:
- Helping fund cutting-edge research aimed at finding the cause of MS, more treatments and, ultimately, ending the disease forever.
- Providing resources and information for people living with MS about a variety of issues through newsletters, publications, education seminars and conferences, and at-home teleconferences.
- Providing direct support and financial assistance for the FDA-approved medications, medical equipment, counseling services, respite, care management, college scholarships, and other emergency assistance.
- Supporting emotional health and physical well-being through a network of self-help groups, a peer support telephone program, wellness programs, and more!
- Reconnecting families affected by MS by coordinating family and social programs, couples retreats, kids camp, and other family support programs.
- Driving change through advocacy at the federal, state and local level to benefit people with MS and their families.

Skaket Beach is very cool. When the tide goes out you can walk a LONG way out into in the Cape. Wear water shoes!
Also, we took bicycles to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Getting there by car on the ferry can take forever!

It was at the Rockpile, probably 1964. Bills vs. Jets. We were in the covered end zone.
I do not remember who won, but a drunk fell onto my lap from the row behind us and in front of us a Jets fan puked orange tango on a lady and then tried to wipe her off with his coat. Funny what you remember when you are eleven.

Every bit helps...
Thanks for the help!
-
I'd be fine with it. I want the Bills to win. I don't give a crap who the QB is. I just think giving up on EJ is premature.
+10
pass the moonshine.
-
who do you want to be with you, and where will you be watching?
Personally, I'll do everything I can to be there in person with my son. I think I have a shot to be able to do that, but if I can't, I want to be home with my wife, kids and Mom. It will be quite the celebration when we win. How about you?
My friends and family, and I will be in a casket.

I am going to guess 10 tickets, Jay. I will send out an alert to my hoard.
thanks!
Bump it to 15, but come time to order - it could vary up or down a bit.

It amazes me (in a good way) that it's 2015 and the Stones and the Who are both going on tours. Floors me, really. There are certain artists I don't mind dropping above average $$ on to see. Both the Stones and Who qualify. It bums me that I'm unable to swing it for these shows, but I'm very happy for those who will be able to enjoy them.
Long Live Rock.
I saw the Who my first time, around 1972 in the Rochester War Memorial, after the release of Who's Next? First time I heard any of that album. They were at their PEAK complete with Keith Moon. Tickets were $6.00I saw the Who again in the early 80's (Who Are You?) at the Ralph. Great sound but could not see the band well. The field was packed so tight, and it got so hot and compressed, they were showering the crowd with water hoses and people were being passed on top of the crowd (not unlike surfing) to first aid stations under the stage. When they were playing "Love, Reign O'er Me", it started to rain. Tickets were $15.00
At least now they can show the band on the three screens.
I am probably going to pass on the current "Who" with Daltry and Townsend, unless it comes REAL close to home.
We may go see the Stones. I would like to see them since I never have, and that is MY bad. Update - tickets in the upper deck end zone away from the stage start at $150. Nevermind.....
We already have tickets for Carlos Santana in Canandaigua in August. Lawn seats $30.00

My job is internet technical support and I get a couple of these every week.
"They found thousands of malicious files on my computer and charged me $299. Now my computer is locked."
Hey, the bad guys can't get in unless you open the door!

It's picture taking time again? Thanks for reminding me not to donate again.
(note that's a private joke between Rock and I)
..and JJ still thinks it is funny.
and so do I.

It is that time of year again to ask for your help in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, and providing help to those who have this disease.
I was diagnosed 21 years ago, and I am still standing!
Jack, please pin this post (don't bogart me).

Excellent closing quote to NY Times article:
“The only reason you mock something is when it doesn’t live up to the ideal,” Mr. Stewart said. “There’s a huge difference between what these journalists are doing on the ground, and the perversion of it that is the 24-hour news networks.”

Just for you CGF. I'll take the heat
I feel like Nancy Kerrigan, "WHY?"
-
What? No Starship Troopers?
Very good book; very average movie. Of course that is just my opinion.

Just about anything by Heinlein, really. About every two or three years I go on this Heinlein jag and binge-read damn near all his books, in publication order.
Also: Dune. I've read that book maybe 18 times, and every time I read it again I find something new.
I am the same way with Heinlein, Herbert (Dune), Asimov, and a few others.
Sometimes I will see a book at a yard sale that I own and I have read.
I will buy it cheap and randomly give it to someone I think will enjoy it.

I met "Angie" a few years ago. I listened to her speak and bought her book.
Tragic story told in a very factual and non-judgemental way by a Polish ghetto survivor.
