28809. judithathome - 1/3/2016 9:29:43 PM You mean that little stream down the road from you with the interesting bridge is not overflowing?
I know there is something special about that bridge but I can't remember what it is.... 28810. arkymalarky - 1/3/2016 11:06:37 PM Just old. Water was over it a bit. It. Didn't last long. 28811. arkymalarky - 1/7/2016 5:32:57 AM International happy new year from my second favorite site to the mote.

28812. Ms. No - 3/13/2016 7:50:34 PM Saw a great concert last night -- Cage the Elephant headlined and they kicked ass! Four total bands with Silversun Pickups, Foals, and Bear Hands. I expected SSPU to be my next faves, and their frontman gives excellent show, but I liked Foals' music more. I only knew one of their songs going in, but I'm streaming three of their albums on Prime today trying to figure out what my digital purchases will be.
I can't remember why I got out of the habit of seeing live music. It's like I held onto the concept of "expensive" from my college days when $50 for a concert ticket was something I could maybe do once a year.
It seems like tickets have gotten cheaper in general, or maybe it's just that the bands I want to see are less expensive. At any rate, I intend to see a lot more music than I have in the past.
28813. wabbit - 3/13/2016 11:10:55 PM My S-i-L just reminded me last weekend that it was 20 years ago that we went to Lollapalooza. What a fun weekend that was. Metallica, Soundgarden, the Ramones, Screaming Trees, Rage Against the Machine, Cocteau Twins, Violent Femmes...great time. My brother was freaked out by what he called the "Korn Kids", sitting against against a fence cutting...and nobody there to stop them or talk to them.
His younger daughter became a cutter. I'd love to say I was shocked. 28814. wabbit - 3/13/2016 11:12:22 PM First concert: Humble Pie, lead act was Spooky Tooth. Wow! 28815. Ms. No - 3/14/2016 5:06:27 AM Oh man, that's such a great line-up! 28816. Ms. No - 3/14/2016 5:07:05 AM Can I just say that after leaving my name as the last postr in six threads and then not being able to get back in later, I thought I'd broken the Mote. 28817. judithathome - 3/14/2016 5:48:43 PM Been there, done that!
And then imagine getting back in and not being able to get my posts to post...! 28818. arkymalarky - 3/17/2016 3:56:11 AM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4
Disturbed's Sound of Silence. Mose and I hugely disagree on this. I think it's amazing.
Cage the Elephant is coming to LR. We hardly ever do anything in LR. We went with Spook to see Jackson Brown in Fayetteville but stayed with Mose. We went to two at Red Rocks two years ago, but damn what a climb. We are such fuddy duddys. 28819. arkymalarky - 3/17/2016 3:58:59 AM I don't remember my first concert. Stan's was probably James Brown. It was his most memorable. Just remembered--mine was Ozark Mountain Daredevils. 28820. arkymalarky - 3/17/2016 4:02:03 AM Have not been able to get in for a few days, btw 28821. iiibbb - 4/4/2016 9:19:19 PM In light of the erratic nature of the Mote
http://disqus.com/home/channel/themote/
An alternate place to meet until things are repair here? I would like to keep in touch with all of you. 28822. iiibbb - 4/4/2016 9:19:28 PM I'll make any of you a Mod 28823. wabbit - 5/10/2016 10:47:57 PM Happy belated Mother's Day to all Mote Moms! 28824. wabbit - 5/10/2016 10:55:34 PM iiibbb, I signed up. We'll try to get the Mote stabilized, but good to have an alternative. I wasn't able to leave a comment though, how does the place work? 28825. arkymalarky - 5/10/2016 11:37:24 PM How are you Wabbit!? 28826. iiibbb - 5/12/2016 5:41:04 PM Hey, it worked.... what's up people?
I'm still hanging out on Disqus, and found the (unoffical) The Atlantic board--- it's not the one that you get to from the magazine itself... that one is a shithole.
The alternate Atlantic people there are pretty nice and civil. Reminds me of the Mote when I started here. They've got a good setup. I some of you hate the Discus interface and have other playgrounds but there you have it.
I'm there as "ystava".
I'll still come here, but I still have had a lot of trouble connecting. 28827. judithathome - 5/12/2016 10:47:32 PM Many years ago, I was in charge of the Atlantic board TV and Movie section and gradually had the responsiblity of the entire forum...then they changed their format and requirments and we all left and went to Able Minds...my forum at AMs was entitled Atlantic Refugees and is now called Talkalot...new people coming in thought "Atlantic Refuges" meant it was a Canadian Forum...ha!
Anyhow, though it is an annual $10 fee for participation, it's a very good site...as I said before, I'd be happy to pay the "fee" for a forum listing and would pay annual dues for anyone wishing to come there....
I couldn't figure out that Discus thing...I'm not on Twitter or Facebook and it just seemed confusing to me...but I'm not that known for being computer savvy. ;-) 28828. judithathome - 5/12/2016 10:53:04 PM Sorry..is it Disqus or Discus?
Have to say, the AbleMinds forum is very up-to-date and has HTML shortcuts and easily accessible ways to link to articles and you can post pictures, articles, anything without having to type in antiquated codes....
