One of the Dead's Bob Weir's alter-egos is the jam band RatDog. They are playing at the ubiquitous Starland Ballroom (formerly Hunka Bunka Ballroom) in lovely Sewerville, er, um Sayreville, NJ (the original home of John Buongiovi, er, um, Bon Jovi) this coming Tuesday eve. Tix are a wallet-bending $28.50 for general admission (18 to enter, 21 to drink) and the doors open @ 7:00pm.
Anybody from the NY/NJ/PA/CT area interested in going?
I have my first (of many to come) board meetings for my new position as a NJ State-Licensed, MSF-certified Motorcyle RiderCoach (instructor) that I must attend that night, but I'll be heading to the swampy industrial park behind Rt. 9/Ernston Rd. in order to catch Weir's act as soon as I can cut loose.
I would recommend for those of you wishing to attend, that unless you love crowds, cigarette (et al) smoke, and consuming mass quantities of liquid entertainment, that you ignore the door opening time and show up at a more cosmopolitan time of say, 8:00 or 9:00-ish. They open the doors an hour early before the usual warm-up acts (someimes they have two, three or more!), so they just want you there for the max. time so you can suck-up expensive drinks all night, of which I abhorr. I must be getting old, LOL!

For a paltry $20adv/$25door or $30/$40 for VIP (Don't ask, LOL!) you can catch the aging hipsters known as Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, David Freiberg, Tom Constanten (Anthem/Aoxomoxoa-era Dead!!!), etc. Ck it out!!!
