Maybe I *should* feel guilty, but I much more appreciate having straight facts laid out in front of me with no judgment. That way, I can make my own decisions. I end up feeling more respected that way.
I dunno. It\'s kinda the same reason why I dislike PETA, even though I agree with some of their points.
Sorry for being off topic! We can resume talking about books now

Last Christmas, I got a copy of The Omnivore\'s Dilemma, by Michael Pollan. It was much more interesting to me than Fast Food Nation, which I thought got a little preachy at times. The Omnivore\'s Dilemma is neat because it\'s simultaneously scientific about the problems of devoting ourselves too much to corn as well as dealing with the ethics of being an omnivore vs. being a vegetarian. It also doesn\'t make you feel guilty; it just makes you think.

I needed to tell *someone* how good Wednesday night\'s show in Asbury Park was, so here I am.
I can\'t even express how happy Bucket made me. I was right in the front, pressed against the stage. He gave me a My Little Pony and took my gift, a little screaming guy with a skull head. He seemed to like it. He sticks his tongue out when he plays, I could see it through his mask. I\'ve never read that anywhere. He played Soothsayer and Welcome to Bucketheadland, both songs that I love, and also some new stuff that I hadn\'t heard. I danced and smiled from ear to ear the whole time.
In all, it was by FAR the best concert I\'ve been to, evereverever. Now I just have to convince my boyfriend to go with me to B.B. King\'s Nov. 1st!

Tickets are back up on ticketmaster! Tickets are going on sale March 13.  I\'m very excited. Anyone else here planning on going? I\'ll be there.

Maybe I\'m stupid and missing something...but where did you see that this is happening? I just checked bucketheadland and the BB King\'s site, but I got nothin\'.

I thought I\'d let everyone know in case they haven\'t seen this yet, I know there\'s at least one Maine Bucket fan on this board. He\'s gonna play in Portland and Cambridge. Should be a good time.

I don\'t have any tickets, but I\'m really hoping you get there!

I thought the thread title meant what Buckethead says about Christmas.
I think he likes Christmas. Doesn\'t everyone?

I was there last night. I\'m kinda disappointed and sad. I\'m grateful he came and all that, but I saw him at Asbury Park a month ago and it was ten thousand times better. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, and the show was cut short. I\'m not pissed off at Bucket or anything, but in the end I\'m just feeling down.
I\'m getting my pictures set up, so I\'ll post a link as soon as they are ready.

Haha maybe I was! Who cares, he didn\'t seem to mind and I got rad pictures.

Hi everyone,
I was in great positioning for pictures this time! I was up against the stage right in front of the wah pedal. I think most of them turned out okay.

Also, I made a really short clip of part of Soothsayer.

They are decent!

I\'m going to BB King\'s Nov. 1 for the show, and I also went to the Oct. 8 show in Asbury Park. Have you seen Buckethead multiple times on the same tour? Does he play the same songs, or different ones depending on his mood? I know it has to be at least somewhat different, as I don\'t think That 1 Guy will be there. I\'m just wondering if I should get excited for different songs, or be excited for a repeat of the same songs.

I really love the first one you posted.

I like the white bucket better too. It\'s classy!
