| _____________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 9:55am - ouchdrummer ""] TANGLEWOOD!!! Sat 30th Tanglewood Jazz Festival: "A Celebration of Marian McPartland's 90th Birthday" With Special Guests: Nnenna Freelon, Mulgrew Miller, and Spencer Day Sun 31st Tanglewood Jazz Festival: Eddie Daniels Quartet If you've never been there before, it's beautiful. Probably the nicest amphitheatre i've ever been to. There's a stage under a roof, but with no walls, its called the shed. The sound inside it is great, you can hear all the clicks and clacks of all the instruments. But sitting out on the lawn is JUST as cool. The lawn is a hill that is up the side of a small valley, so you can see out over tons of beautiful area from there. You can even buy entire bottles of wine to drink on the grass. Between the wine, and the copious amounts of weed i was smoking(it's outside, i couldnt resist) the day i saw Bela Bartoks' music a couple weeks ago was delightful. It's in Lenox ma, which is right smack dab in the middle of the berkshires. I think if you have any appreciation for classical/jazz/the outdoors, you would really enjoy tanglewood. Although this whole weekend is a jazz fest, it will still be incredable. |

| ______________________________ [Aug 28,2008 10:45am - mOe ""] 'tis...that whole area of S/hadley/hadley/amherst is boring as a whole, but there's some cool little places that kind of make it ok |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:16am - ellesarusrex ""] there's a dinosaur fossil place in s.deerfield.. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:17am - SacreligionNLI ""] the only dinosaurs you'll find in deerfield are yuppy fuck-yas with too much money to die. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:36am - ellesarusrex ""] i want to find actual dinosaur bones.. sometimes i go in the woods and make up stories with my friend lauren about branches and tree limbs that have fallen.. pretendng they are prehistoric creatures. bc im a nerd |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:40am - SacreligionNLI ""] is that a recent thing or something you did when you were younger? both answers are acceptable. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:46am - ellesarusrex ""] haha this is most def something i have been doing my entire life. i have a pretty absurd imagination.. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:49am - SacreligionNLI ""] i used to pretend that massses of tree branches and leaves were monsters so i'd have something to run from and then turn the woods into an obstacle course. i wonder what that says about my psyche. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:51am - mOe ""] i think that means you're gay |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:52am - SacreligionNLI ""] i might've just been obsessed with shows like GUTS, legends of the hidden temple, and wild & crazy kids. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:56am - ellesarusrex ""] those shows are still on the nick game show network.. for some reason legends of the hidden temple always pissed me off. but i still watched it. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 11:58am - SacreligionNLI ""] how can it piss you off? it's like watching a bunch of retards try to fuck a door knob. my favorite are the spazzes on GUTS. the ones where you can tell the parents were like "you'll be on guts and like it" and the kids like "have you ever seen me play soccer before? i suck!" and then they make an ass of themselves on national tv. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 12:15pm - ellesarusrex ""] thats what most people do on reality television |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 12:18pm - SacreligionNLI ""] yeah but this involves motor skill-less kids in precarious situations! |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 28,2008 12:22pm - ellesarusrex ""] remember moon shoes? i used to put them on and play with my skip it.. shit was skill.. also cant do that on television was A #1. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 29,2008 9:14am - SacreligionNLI ""] i never got to use moon shoes. son of a bitch. |

| _______________________________ [Aug 29,2008 1:32pm - timma ""] We used to put those things on and jump off really high objects thinking it would make us jump higher. Not the case. Please believe. |
