Three decade battle with cancer! Very underrated band. They were supposed to play in New Orleans last year, but his cancer came back. Sucks.

Have a friend who posts here sometimes. He lurks a lot. He would be able to tell you where to go and what to do. Been with him a couple times and always caught.

Ship Sticks

Wanted to get some opinions on Ship Sticks experiences.

Where did you drop clubs?
How did you pack them? Hard case, soft case? Box?
Did you do express? 2-3 day? 5 day?
Any horror stories?

Used power tools

Posted by contraryman on 4/8/25 at 1:42 pm
Is there a place that purchases used power tools and other related equipment? I know pawn shops do some of this but don’t really want to deal with Rick Harrison type owners. Just want to get a fair price for what I bring in. Thanks in advance.

Unbelievable talent.
May want to do mineral spirits instead of mineral oil.

Also zippo lighter fluid does the trick.
I have a couple of throwbacks if you’re interested

If you win The Masters, you receive a lifetime invitation to participate in the tournament.

The Boo Radleys
They Might Be Giants
Walking Wounded
Del Fuegos
Hoodoo Gurus
The Cat Empire
Fine Young Cannibals
The Gaslight Anthem
The Hold Steady
The Jesus and Mary Chain
Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats
The The
The Weeks
Would rather see the anthem be the headliner. The Saenger is expensive for tix. Thinking a Sunday in Gautier would be great. Does anyone have experience at the venue?

That's up for consideration. Problem is we have 7 of us going so it would likely scatter us early until the game progresses.


That is a negative. Pay for the seats upstairs and the. Come down during the first period. Thursday is $5 PBR night.
