ROCK BOTTOM REMAINDERS UPDATE
We're on our way to Cleveland today aboard the submarine/bus. Our show tonight is at the Rock And Of Course Roll Hall o' Fame. We had a fine show last night in Chicago. Here's a picture of me with a fan who perfectly fits our musical demographic.
FIRST!

First?
Posted by: Melt'n | October 29, 2004 at 06:10 AM
First! And, Dave, you're (not your) awesome next to the dinosaur.
Posted by: babs | October 29, 2004 at 06:11 AM
YaY! I thought Dave ran out of blue shirts.
Posted by: casual observer | October 29, 2004 at 06:11 AM
AH! I was so close...
Posted by: Melt'n | October 29, 2004 at 06:14 AM
So THAT'S what killed the dinosaurs. All this time they thought it was a meteor. It was literacy-promoting music!
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 06:17 AM
That looks too clear for a CrapCam pic...and yes, once again the shirt is blue.
Dave, do you own shirts of another color?
Posted by: Blogchik | October 29, 2004 at 06:17 AM
Perhaps we were BOTH first - we have the same posting time... ?
Posted by: Melt'n | October 29, 2004 at 06:18 AM
fifth? sixth? washed that blue shirt didja dave? back to the bus for you....
Posted by: queensbee | October 29, 2004 at 06:19 AM

Dave, do you own shirts of another color?
Also, Dave, the self-deprecation is endearing, but you are not a dinosaur. You're a National Treasure.

OOPth.
Posted by: Blogchik | October 29, 2004 at 06:21 AM
Dave, got milk?
Posted by: Brian B | October 29, 2004 at 06:21 AM
Boneuhfied.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | October 29, 2004 at 06:24 AM
I didn't expect to really BE first, it was an excited yelp of hope to be first. But I think we tied... it must be alphabetical, that's all. :)
Posted by: melissa | October 29, 2004 at 06:30 AM
Can't we just have ONE day where nobody simply posts "first?" Enough already!
Posted by: Booger | October 29, 2004 at 06:38 AM
The alpha and the omega!
Posted by: kat alias tak | October 29, 2004 at 06:40 AM
I wouldn't say boneuhfied, exactly, Fish... I'd say maybe more like... in a westerly direction.
Posted by: Leetie | October 29, 2004 at 06:41 AM
I second that motion Booger.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | October 29, 2004 at 06:41 AM
That was pretty damned good! I'd say!!!
Posted by: kat alias tak | October 29, 2004 at 06:42 AM
Dave ... your "fan" doesn't look all that pleased and those teeth look really unforgiving. Maybe you should change your set list.
Just a thought.
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 06:44 AM
Kat- I'd say
tiky taky, tiky taky , oy oy oy!
But OktoberFest was last week, so I won't.
Leetie- Exactly.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | October 29, 2004 at 06:45 AM
The kat in the hat comes back and takes it all back!.........reverse directions, hard-a-lee. ready to come about? Ready! My Captain!
Posted by: kat alias tak | October 29, 2004 at 06:47 AM
I was first once - that's all I wanted - to be first once. So you won't have to worry about me posting "first" anymore. I had to do it to get it out of my system.
and yes Kat - that was good.
Posted by: melissa | October 29, 2004 at 06:48 AM
*Takes LSD tabs away from Kat*
No, no, Kat. That is not candy.
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 06:50 AM
ha, ha, ha! Leetie!
Posted by: kat alias tak | October 29, 2004 at 06:51 AM
T-REX - LOOK OUT! There's a DAVE right in front of you!!!!
*runs screaming from the room*
Posted by: Higgy | October 29, 2004 at 06:53 AM
Wow...I can't believe Dave ran into Cher! She looks pretty good.
Posted by: MeganBNL | October 29, 2004 at 07:13 AM
This does not necessarily apply to Melissa or Melt'n, but some folks lead rather mundane lives, so being First may be the highlight of an otherwise humdrum day.
Not me of course. Even though I did have 6 Firsts last week. But who's (not whose) counting?
And lastly, does anyone else think "Dave and the T-Rex" wbagnfarb?
Posted by: Zaphod | October 29, 2004 at 07:24 AM
Does Dave mean that the T-Rex is his demographic, (us, by the way), or that weird looking lurker/stalker in the background? Or maybe that's Ridley?
Posted by: Shredder | October 29, 2004 at 07:39 AM
NOT farb, but perhaps for a new book ...
MeganBNL: gasp choke LOL!
Posted by: MOTW | October 29, 2004 at 07:41 AM
Trust me Zaphod - the comment applies... but I'm completely ok with living a mundane, humdrum life and this is the highlight of my week, not just my day.
I take whatever excitement I can get. If that means hitting the refresh button continuously, well so be it. It's all I have in this world. Well, that and work, but this is WAY more fun.
;)
Posted by: melissa | October 29, 2004 at 07:42 AM
yay melissa! you're first! very good.
it's fun to be first, but for the antifirst contingent, let's pick a day and have everybody work the word first into their comment.
but first....
let melissa enjoy hers
Posted by: sookeyjane | October 29, 2004 at 07:51 AM
No. I won't let Melissa enjoy hers. Stop enjoying it, Melissa. Right now! Stop it, I say!
Posted by: LabSpecimen | October 29, 2004 at 08:21 AM
This is the guy who purportedly wanted to spend more time with his family??
Posted by: John | October 29, 2004 at 09:13 AM
Well, first he wanted to visit the Rolling stones.
(Note the strategic use of the word "first")
Posted by: Anne | October 29, 2004 at 09:21 AM
I bet that was the first time Dave has ever had a T-Rex try to bite his head.
Posted by: Zaphod | October 29, 2004 at 09:41 AM
Dinosaurs may be fans of Dave, but I bet Dave's not a fan of dinosaurs. Especially when they try to bite his head off.
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 09:47 AM
Rachel Apparently not your first attempt at HTML
Posted by: kingw | October 29, 2004 at 09:53 AM
sneaky, Rachel ... very sneaky.
Cheater. :-D
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 10:45 AM
Punky - how long did that take you to type???
Posted by: Higgy | October 29, 2004 at 10:52 AM
I've been on this blog all day long. Time to do some work!
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 10:58 AM
16.3 seconds ... give or take a milisecond.
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 10:58 AM
Take!
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 10:59 AM
LoL Punky and Rachel!
Posted by: Leetie | October 29, 2004 at 11:05 AM
Fridays are great if you ask my opinion. It's always really quiet in the office on Fridays ... so I can really just blog all day long!
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 11:05 AM
Damn! I forgot the "i" in squid. Squd? What the hell is a "squd"?
Pooeh!
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 11:06 AM
Um ... pooeh is some sort of idiot combination of Pooey and Pooh!
I need a time out.
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 11:08 AM
Punky - Don't worry - their (not they're) ink doesn't spray excessively far. Perhaps we didn't wake them...
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 11:09 AM
I understood what you meant, punky. We'll let it slide...
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 11:11 AM
Geez... I've been trying to get one word together in bold and JUST CAN'T GET IT TO WORK,DANGIT!
Posted by: Leetie | October 29, 2004 at 11:22 AM
Thanks, Rach. I hate when I screw up. My mind is clearly thinking about puttin' back some margaritas, not how to spell ... ya know?
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 11:23 AM
Yeah, I know. Sometimes our priorities are backwards. Wait, what am I saying?
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 11:43 AM
That was a riddle, by the way... kind of like your basic Herald Hunt riddle, only much easier, and using reverse psychology.
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 11:46 AM
Here, Rach .. have a margarita ... that should quench it.
Posted by: punky brewster | October 29, 2004 at 11:49 AM
I really have no luck solving riddles.
Posted by: neophyte | October 29, 2004 at 12:05 PM
Thanks Punky! *takes margarita and drinks the whole thing in one chug* Pass the whole pitcher, will ya'? Thank goodness Friday is here!
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 12:06 PM
Jeff - I liked the original version better. :) Just teasing!
Neo - ah, you're on to me. Here, have some of this pitcher of margaritas.
Posted by: Rachel | October 29, 2004 at 12:08 PM
*salting glass* ahhh.... margarita time.... Thanks, Rachel, don't mind if I do.
Posted by: neophyte | October 29, 2004 at 12:15 PM
Punky and Rachel, that will be enough from the two of you, go directly to your rooms. Punky, haven't you been warned?
Posted by: Graz | October 29, 2004 at 12:53 PM
Sublingual advertising at it's finest! Thanks Ladies and Graz :-)
Posted by: eadn | October 29, 2004 at 02:29 PM
Is it just my crummy darkened monitor, or does it look to everyone else like that dinosaur has eaten part of Dave's head?
Posted by: Angie | October 30, 2004 at 09:57 AM
