Marijuana Smoke on California Cancer List By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Marijuana smoke has joined tobacco smoke and hundreds of other chemicals on a list of substances that California regulators say cause cancer.
The decision, made by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment on Friday, is likely to force medical marijuana dispensaries with 10 or more employees to post warnings. Final rules are expected by the time warning requirements take effect in a year.
An agency spokesman, Sam Delson, said the office found that marijuana smoke contained 33 of the same harmful chemicals as tobacco smoke. He said the findings came from a review of more than 30 scientific papers.
California’s Proposition 65 requires businesses to warn consumers of chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive harm.

I would crank it up to full volume every day after school and play drums along to it.. I especially loved the drum solo in the middle of the record.. clean, simple steady.. was it the 1st drum solo on a hit record? Adam? I'm not sure if it was, but it certainly set the stage for all future drum solos on hit records.. |
| 18th June 2009 - 05:56:31 AM | | 2010 : Bobby | Bob Bogle, a founding member of the Ventures, the long-running guitar band whose jaunty 1960 hit “Walk — Don’t Run” became an early standard of instrumental rock ’n’ roll and taught generations of guitarists how to make their solos sparkle, died on Sunday in Vancouver, Wash., where he lived. He was 75.

| 01st June 2009 - 12:59:43 PM | | 2001 : Socializing Sam | Hey Megan 89!
On behalf of k-Dawg and the fellow Horsemen...let me say how glad we are that you had a good time with us (5/22!) and how much we appreciate the time and effort you put in to posting on our humble website.
In fact, what's really quite interesting about the fact that you took the time and effort to post on 12Darks, is that you're also the first person we've ever met to actually post on our website! And while that's a bit of an exaggeration - and despite the fact that you clearly found us so damn entertaining - it may surprise you to know that pretty much not many other people find us interesting or appealing enough to be post-worthy. Perhaps after 8 years of going to McS (and according to the spreadsheet, that's 393 Fridays...I added them up to confirm that by the way!) we're starting to hit our stride with the drinking public.
So thanks again for caring and sharing...come again (and if you do...get a prime spot on the spreadsheet...did someone say "Megan 89, GUEST OF THE YEAR!?!?!) and bring your friends.
Excel-ently yours,
Spread Sheet Sam

| 20th May 2009 - 05:44:38 PM | | 1996 : Adam | Hey,
Those are some interesting facts K-Dawg! Did you know that the higest rated show in Korean TV history was an American TV spin-off of the popular American sitcom Happy Days called Joannie loves Chachi.
As all us hipsters know in Korea "Chachi" is slang for a gentlemans genitalia!
happy Memorial Day have Fun at McSorley's I'll try to be there next week!
Are we not posting Afters anymore? We did all make it Jimmy's gotta be a pretty high count for Afters and Clambo tells me a stop was made at a drive through McDonalds???

| 08th April 2009 - 01:05:52 PM | | 1974 : Kdawg | | When I was growing up, my grandfather, Al Rosenstock, would tell me stories of his Uncle Mendel Rosenstock, a famous strongman in the circus, who could pull airplanes together with his bare hands.. For the last 35 years, I never knew if these stories were made up, or highly exaggerated.. I recently reconnected with my grandfather's sister, my Great Aunt Martha, who told me that Uncle Mendel DEFINITELY existed, and that he went by the name of Max the Shtarker, or Max the Strongman. I Googled Max Rosenstock and this is what I found.. this is my Great Great Uncle.. He's also my sister Ronni's Great Great Uncle and my son Jonathan and niece Annie's Great Great Great Uncle but unfortunately not related to Spreadsheet Sam..http://www.sideshowworld.com/blowoff-MR-Strongman.html |

| 03rd April 2009 - 10:34:22 AM | | 1971 : Catrine | Kenny,
Just stumbled over your email from July 07 in a little used email account, which is coming back to life.
How are things with you? I'm still pretty much as was, apart from the fact that I've moved again. Big house, huge mortage, no holidays. Hmm, might have to rethink that one. I really want to see NY again!! And yet again convince bar staff that a dry martini is made with gin! Keep in touch!!! Catrine

| 31st March 2009 - 01:21:07 PM | | 1969 : Patch Ouley | Well, they definitely sound like one of the more authentic Garcia tribute bands out there. I'm glad you noted that the guitarist wasn't Jerry, though, because there were mad rumors before the show about them straining the Ganges and San Francisco bay and somehow reconstituting and reanimating Jerry's ashes. I also heard that if you listened to Eyes from the Roseland men's room while standing on the seat after having like seven Coronas, you can almost hear the hidden message that Jerry, well, he's really dead. Dead, dead, dead. Like a doorknob, you know. That's as much of the message that most people hear before falling off the seat. Anyhoo, I can't wait for their latest album, 'We Used to Play with a Guy with Soul,' to be released next month on Gimmethemoney Records. I also heard that Mickey's doing a solo tour to promote his latest book of short stories entitled 'I Sent 15,000 People to the Bathroom Every Night' which includes the well received piece
that appeared in the Comical last month, 'I Shared the Stage with a Really Big Star.' |

| 26th March 2009 - 12:40:50 PM | | 1967 : Tymon Mihanz | | Oh, please, Dawg. Enough of your post-show phantasies. Why can't you just go see the Disco Biscuits cover band like everyone else?! |
| 25th March 2009 - 01:09:46 PM | | 1966 : Hansel McAlbertson | Bravo... How are you? Townsend P. Locke, from Chicago. Call me Towny. I'm here to attend a paper manufacturers' convention and, frankly, to have a little fun, dammit... This is my first night in town and I'll consider it a ghastly omen clouding my entire ten days, if you don't consent to have dinner with me. Anywhere you like... never mind how you're dressed. They know me. I'll say you're with the rodeo. There's always a rodeoin New York, dammit. Besides, you look very elegant... "Ye are the salt of the earth, Jesus said, but if the salt hath lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?" But, dammit all, I just remembered, we'll have to eat in my room because I have this phone call coming at nine-thirty... What I like about you, you're such a wonderful conversationalist. So won't that be nice to have dinner sent up? Fifty years ago this was the only hotel in Manhattan. My mother always calls me at her bedtime, so I've got to be there. A drink? I've got some nice gin. If you'd prefer something else, they'll send it up...
Gin's okay.
It's so exciting. New York. The mad forward thrust of everything. My sense of time here is completely altered. Sometimes it seems to me time stopped twenty years ago. There was this war, there was this handsome young man with quite black hair and he was supposed to die. But he didn't. Isn't that amusing?
What?
Enough about me. I'm through talking for the evening. Now I want to hear about conditions in the West. The romance of the West holds a tremendous power over me. Mother was actually a pioneer woman, can you believe it? When she calls, I'll introduce you and she'll be so thrilled. Mama, a coincidence. Guess who was being discussed. Discussed. Not disgusted. Discussed! Do you have that thing turned up? Why aren't you wearing it! This is impossible!
Listen, Towny, did I mention I got a sick kid? Well, he is, he's sicker'n shee-it. And I've gotta get him South quick as I can...
I was so childish with her.
What d'you want?
What?
What you got me up here for?
Oh, difficult, it's so difficult. You're a nice person, Joe -- I should never have asked you up -- a lovely person. Oh, how I loathe life. I loathe it. Please go. Please.
You want me to leave?
No, yes. No, I mean yes please go. Help me to be good. Come back tomorrow. Promise.
I'm going to Florida.
This is terrible. I meet someone who -- then -- wait, I want to give you a present. For your trip. You'll let me please... Please take it. You don't have to be Catholic. Saint Christopher is the patron saint of all travelers. I want you to have it. For helping me be good.
Listen, I gotta have money.
Oh. Yes. Of course. I should have thought. You shouldn't have to ask. That was thoughtless of me. Yes. Wait here... Here. Don't even thank me.
I gotta have more'n ten. I gotta have fifty-seven dollars.
I simply don't have it, Joe.
Get outta my way.
You're wasting your time. There's nothing in there. Let go. Let go of the table. I deserved that, I know I did. I brought this on myself. I'm bleeding, my nose is bleeding, isn't it?
You wanna gimme fifty-seven dollars or you wanna busted skull?
Please let go of that table... Thank you, Joe.

Are you gonna put them up on ebay now? |
| 16th March 2009 - 03:19:20 PM | | 1962 : Adam | Hey,
I guess K-dawg is so excited about tonights screening of Midnight Cowboy he forgot to mention who joined us last Friday...
Jerry The Nightwatchman
So, I guess Jamal is saying this Friday 13th thing two weeks in a row is nothing special... well there is no chance of it happening next year so that makes it a rare occurrence in my book. A book you could take a look at if you ever found yourself near a certain ale house on a Friday...
Oh, and Paul as I am only looking at this now I had no idea you wanted to take a cab. I usually walk out my door around 11:45 and stroll up to McSorley's. You read the paper right? I can't just throw my money to every guy that drives a cab.
This Friday I invite all to attend another Bully's gig, horseman Bobby Backroom agreed they were a heck of a good time and he's been to South Africa.
so here is the info:
Friday, March 20

p.s. I still wish I could write timmy |
| 13th March 2009 - 08:47:31 PM | | 1961 : W.D. Doodle | | I actually saw FM at the Spectrum in the fall of '77 and they were pretty damn good, I must say. How that translates 32 years down the road I have no idea. Adam, in non-leap years such as this one, March will always mimic February's day/date pattern, since February contains exactly four weeks in such years. |
| 13th March 2009 - 05:53:34 PM | | 1960 : PV | | ADAM - DO YOU WANT TO SHARE CAB TO MC SORLESYS TO NIGHT I MEET U AT CORNER AND WE GO 2 GETHER TO MC SORLEYS? |
| 13th March 2009 - 03:06:50 PM | | 1959 : Kdawg | | Hey Riva, Have a great time at the Fleetwood Mac show.. I heard that they will only be playing new songs, and none of their old hits, including "Go Your Own Way" or "Rhiannon".. And when the crowd screams for "Don't Stop" or "Gold Dust Woman", I heard the band immediately goes into 10 songs off their new album.. I also heard that they took out "The Chain" and "You Make Lovin' Fun" and any other song that you wanted to hear, and replaced it the rest of the songs off the lp.. Have fun, and see you at McSorley's after the show to tell us how it was not seeing "Landslide" as an encore.. |
| 13th March 2009 - 03:06:04 PM | | 1958 : Adam | just noticed this is the second Friday the 13th in as many months how often does that happen maybe we can get a round of 13darks???
also pre-St. Patty's day!
cheers,
cosmic soul |
| 13th March 2009 - 02:36:25 PM | | 1957 : Dr. Tongue | I just downloaded Mac's latest, "Not Dead Yet," off of their web site. Their current 'What Town Are We In Again?"
tour, featuring Gerry and the Pacemakers and sponsored by The Hair Club for Men, also hits MSG on Thursday. Good seats are still available for the bargain, rock-bottom price of $958.17 (service and handling fees of $234.16 per ticket not included). They also have some floor seats available for a slight premium. |
| 13th March 2009 - 01:57:08 PM | | 1956 : rsw | | As usual, not able to attend. Happy Friday the 13th (i'll be watching Fleetwood Mac at Nassau C.) -rsw |
| 09th March 2009 - 04:00:42 PM | | 1955 : Adam | Wow K-dawg is in Phishtopia!
I guess with all that Phish you forgot about that Veselka afters bust out! How long has that been I bet Phish was still a band when we last went!
hopefully, Hawkwind gets word of the free downloads!
Whose up for Endless Boogie and Flower Travellin' Band Saturday night?

| 05th March 2009 - 12:16:15 PM | | 1951 : Kdawg | | Adam, In case you didn't get a chance to read the whole article, let me point out the highlights.. Phish are getting back together in Hampton VA this weekend.. Not only are they getting back together, but they are recording the 3 shows.. But, unlike most bands that would sell their music, Phish are giving it away... FREE.. You heard it, FREE MP3 downloads of all 3 shows.. that's what I like about that band, Phish.. aren't they really nice? And best of all.. now, you, me, Susan and Arnie will not have to drive all the way down to Virginia to see the reunion shows, when we will be listening to all 3 of them in a row at a special "Phish Reunion" 9-Hour Jamboree that we will be having in your apartment next weekend.. I have already emailed the invitations.. And don't you worry, I did not invite all the people from the McSorley's list as I know you have some "minor issues" with a few of them.. |
| 05th March 2009 - 11:59:58 AM | | 1950 : Kdawg | | Thought I'd post that interesting article about Phish for you Adam.. it's from The New York Times.. the same paper that wrote the article about us.. you probably don't read it, since it doesn't have a comic section, but occasionally they have interesting newsy bits that I like to bring up as "topics" each week at McSorley's.. see you on Friday... |
| 05th March 2009 - 11:45:30 AM | | 1949 : Kdawg | Phish's Breakup? That Was Then. But Tough Times Call for a Reunion.
By JON PARELES
Published: March 4, 2009
HAMPTON, Va. Onstage at the Hampton Coliseum, Phish was rehearsing for its resurrection: its first shows since it announced it was breaking up forever. That was in 2004, when the jam band played one last summer tour that ended with a marathon weekend festival for 65,000 people on a farm in Coventry, Vt. At the time the bands guitarist and main songwriter, Trey Anastasio, had announced, with purposeful finality, Were done.
Final wasnt final. Now, with three shows here this weekend and a summer tourall sold out and recording sessions next month for a new album, Phish is gearing up not for a brief, grudging reunion or a second farewell tour, but for a sustainable Phase 2 in the bands peculiar career. Were trying to create a format to keep playing for a long time, Mr. Anastasio said backstage.
He also has another mission in mind. As a longtime fan of Depression-era swing bands, he has been thinking about Phishs role in the current recession. For people in hard times, we can play long shows of pure physical pleasure, he said. They come to dance and forget their troubles. Its like a service commitment.
The demand is there. When seats went on sale for the first announced concerts through Live Nation Ticketing, 10 million requests from both rabid Phish fans and brokers automated Web bots overwhelmed the relatively new Web site (livenation.com), which nonetheless sold more than 250,000 tickets over a weekend. This was like a tsunami that they werent expecting, said Coran Capshaw, Phishs manager who runs Red Light Management.
The tour includes amphitheater-scale shows, like those at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., on June 4 and 5 and two nights headlining the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee.
Tickets for Phish's return concert on Friday night sold initially for $49.50, but are being resold for $1,000 and up. For those who cant attend Phish plans to post recordings of all three Hampton Coliseum shows as high-quality MP3 files for free downloading at livephish.com.
In rehearsal the band plunged into its most complicated music: long, mostly instrumental excursions that segue between contrapuntal, key-changing composed passages and quick-fingered group improvisations. One of them, Stash, breezed from a Latin-jazz-tinged melody to busy cacophony, and the band members grinned wider and wider as it ascended. Afterward the keyboardist Page McConnell exulted, Thats the best jam in five years.
Possibly longer. Phish was not playing its best before the breakup. The Coventry shows in particular had both Phishs longtime fans ó possibly the most detail-oriented and judgmental cult in rock ó and the band members themselves calling the performance sloppy, as Mr. Anastasio did. If there was ever a concert that represented a band smacking into a wall, that was it, Phish's drummer, Jon Fishman, said. I think that was one of the great train wrecks in live concert history.
What broke up Phish was pressure: emotional, physical and chemical. We were just exhausted on every level, Mr. Anastasio said. The band that was formed at the University of Vermont in 1983 and settled its longtime lineup which also includes Mike Gordon on bass in 1986 was predicated on youthful energy and a full-time commitment.
Our dream, our manuscript, the architecture of our career was written when we were 18 years old, Mr. Anastasio said. Were never going to stop! Three hundred shows a year forever! Alert to detail, he immediately added that 300 shows was an exaggeration.
Still, the band typically hit the road for three and a half months at a time, often twice a year. As a jam band following the example of the Grateful Dead, Phish got a major-label recording contract but built its career around performing. According to Nielsen Soundscan, its best-selling album was 1994s Hoist (Electra), at 662,000 copies. Now independent, Phish is still deciding how best to release its next album; live shows from its archives have been appearing on the bands own label, JEMP. The Clifford Ball (JEMP/Rhino), a two-day 1996 stint at the air force base in Plattsburgh, N.Y., has just been released as a seven-DVD set.
In its first years Phish practiced constantly. Songs were pouring out, Mr. Anastasio said, and the band took time to perfect every transitional passage and meticulously map every set list, particularly during what many fans consider the bands heyday, the mid-1990s, as Phish moved up to arenas from theaters. Then, as band members started families and Phishs business operation grew, there was less time for the music.
In Burlington, Vt., Phish employed three dozen people in management and merchandising. Knowing that the entire payroll hinged on the groups tours made the band members feel compelled to stay on the road. It has the gravity of the Sun, Mr. McConnell said. Once its going its difficult to draw yourself away from it. Its warm and its wonderful and its a good thing, but it can easily take over your life. The number of hangers-on grew so large, Mr. Anastasio said, that there were 3,500 people on the backstage guest list at Coventry.
Mr. Anastasio also fell into a drug habit that bottomed out, he said, when he was arrested in 2006 in Whitehall, N.Y., on charges including possession of heroin and prescription painkillers. The arrest pushed him into rehab, and he is now sober, he said. What I thought at the moment was the worst thing that could happen was absolutely the biggest gift Ive received.
After the Coventry farewell concert Phish lightened its load. Looking back, Mr. Anastasio said, his pronouncement that Were done was partly about telling everybody it was time to go home. Phish shut down most of its Burlington operation.
The breakup, all band members insist, was never bitter. While Phish was defunct, members made solo albums and stayed in touch. Mr. McConnell and Mr. Gordon, who still live in Burlington, played regular chess games. On the ever-fluid jam-band circuit various Phish members often turned up together onstage, and Mr. Gordon and Mr. Anastasio toured with the Benevento-Russo Duo.
The idea of reassembling Phish emerged about two years ago and lingered. While Mr. Gordon was making his 2008 album, The Green Sparrow, Mr. Anastasio was also working in the same studio. The producer Steve Lillywhite stopped by, Mr. McConnell said. The conversation moved to, What if we did an album? That may have been the spark.
Late last year the four band members came together, by themselves, to make music in Mr. Anastasios Burlington barn and studio. They liked what they heard. And they resolved to be the version of Phish they prized most: the intently practiced, well-prepared Phish from the mid-90s. They started their Vermont rehearsals not with their countryish three-chord songs but with their intricate, suitelike songs that verge on progressive rock, like Split Open and Meltî and Foam. Although Phish has recorded demo versions of 20 songs for its next album, only one is likely to be heard this weekend: Backwards Down the Number Line, a fond birthday song that asks, Do you know why were still friends?
Figuring out what to play for its first three reunion concerts became one of those exercises in overthought that Phish is known for, Mr. Anastasio said. Band members went in a circle naming the songs they wanted to play, deducted some, consulted a list of every song Phish ever played, did some trading and eventually arrived at about 80 songs. Mr. Anastasio started constructing three nights sets. Its like Tetris, he said as he showed a visitor the list, a printout full of handwritten changes from six different pens.
Phish cant be the same band it was. Its no longer the sole outlet or commitment for the band members, who are maintaining solo projects and raising families. But onstage at the coliseum Phish savored the once familiar sound of the band they had grown up in, echoing off arena walls. Hearing those reverberations again, Mr. Gordon said after rehearsal, was like a door opening. |
| 04th March 2009 - 04:04:00 PM | | 1948 : Paul | | I just made it home from last Friday. I can't remember the entire thing but somewhere on Canal, Adam grabbed the wheel from the driver and kicked him out the door - real Gene Hackman like. Then we shot through the tunnel to Teterboro and got on a Citation 210 and landed in a Costco parking lot in Lakehurst. Fuckin guy. |
| 04th March 2009 - 03:12:15 PM | | 1947 : Adam | Cosmic Soul,
chimes in to soothe the souls of the horses. I can take care of K-dawg myself Jamalz y'see as I told both Brendan and Scottie my reason for not showing up on the black friday alone is the beer sucks the service sucks and 99% of the people that go to McSorley's suck. I, of course, am in the 1% of non-sucking people. So while the wife and I happily dined at Menkui Tei on delightful bowls of Ramen noodle soups... this place would be so Awesome as afters... that is if 99% of the people that showed up at McSorley's did not suck... probably save that for a later post.
But new horseman Paul Vogel might be in the 1% category too... uh oh I actually have work to do and must leave now... i'll try to get back to this later.
cheers,
cosmic soul

| 04th March 2009 - 02:59:42 PM | | 1946 : Self-reflective Sam | Ah...how I pine for the day when the Horsemen are once again graced with this kind of poetic rhetoric in person.
And when will that magical date be? May?...October?
Only fate...tax filing dates and the F.I. summer season know for sure! |
