I was there one night when Jefferson Airplane opened for the Grateful Dead. They both did two sets and then both bands came out and jammed for an hour. Those were the good old days.
I so envy you. Though The City & I are not friends, The Grateful Dead @ Filmore, jamming with Jefferson Airplane - I'd have been there in a heartbeat. Wow hobie, I am totally impressed. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

I lived around the corner from the Fillmore for 8 weeks in 2000. My apartment was at the corner of Fillmore and Post. It was a very cool experience, as my roommate is a Grammy winning recording engineer, and he was in seventh heaven living so close to the legendary place. He still talks about how cool that place we rented in SF was. Needless to say the neighborhood was becoming gentrified at this point in time.

Thanks guys for the Abbot & Costello chuckle. My assistant poked her head in my office to ask why I was laughing so loudly. I couldn't explain because I am laughing so hard, I have tears coming down my face.

*catches breath*

Oh.....I needed that. It's been a crazy, crazy Monday.

I wonder if that's the source of the name Filmore for the 60s van in "Cars" that is also a hippie type.

Most likely. Carousel Ballroom or Winterland don't work quite as well.

This topic drift has reminded me of a rather subtle joke done on the show Robot Chicken. It has a figure dressed as Tom Baker's version of The Doctor standing on first base. He looks around, as if impatient, then looks at the "fourth wall" and asks "Have you gotten it yet?"

It did take me a while to figure out what the joke was, myself, and it was much better than the usually "locker room" type humor they have on the program.

*snicker* Lost on too many, I bet. Leverage has a bit with a fake passport using the name Tom Baker. I think the guy actually picks from two old doctors, but 4 is the one that sticks in my mind.


Going around World Showcase is like traveling in time and relative dimensions in space! :tardis:

Oh BW.... ya gotta know Scott's Valley to appreciate hobie's come back. Hobie, ::shudder:: re Scotts Valley. Highway 17. :eek: :eek:

::Shudder:: re: Hwy 17...

One of my previous jobs, I lived in San Jose, *worked* in San Francisco, and drove a carpool for over a year that ran all the way to Santa Cruz, via the 17, right past Scott's Valley *and* Aptos.

I still have nightmares about rainy nights, in the truck lane, with my hazards on....

(And if I was too tired, I would *totally* pull into a passing roundabout for a nap before continuing, because life is too precious to drive that road in the dark while exhausted...)

Good times. Heyyy, a cool w/c smilie! Dibs...
