LOL! Great story. Seriously though....no hard feelings. Sorry I called you a wanker. That was a little uncalled for (especially since I'm not British). I though it was kinda funny actually (and resin really is all I have left or I'd be hitting the bong right now). I'm not emamoured of the hippie lifestyle myself....although I do trade GD (as well as many other bands). Sad to say that I'm probably more yuppie than hippie. And they can be the most elitist bunch of fucks around "Oh, you drink Pabst and not the dankity Samuel Smiths? For shame." Or my favorite..."I don't smoke schwag. Only the heady nugs for me, brah, that I smoke out of my glass chillum." I'll look for that dead show for you. Won't be hard to find at all. You're braver than me to go to a dead show nowadays. I also collect ween. Did you see them at The Rave in Milwaukee this summer? Great show. Security was a bunch of Nazis though....they wouldn't let anyone bring their equipment in even though the band allows taping. Look for a DVD of their shows at the Vic this November to come out in the summer. I'm more into the archiving aspect of tape trading. I'm an audiophile neophyte and really want the best sounding sources of shows in circulation (see...there's that elitism creeping in). Etree is a great way to do that. Whatever....I'm not holding my breath to get a response from this list but I thought it might be a good place to start. later brah, matt

Actually thats a good question, Well.. since the last person I knew that traded tapes was a hippie, my old roomate "oney" who brews beer @ Twin Ports in Superior, WI (if you ever go there). The other person was nicknamed "Tape Girl" or "Hippie Mattress."
She was, as you can gather sorta slutty and she was also a partime secretary for the Allman Brothers (oooh.. starstruck are you?).
On the contrary I think the hippie tape tradin, nug hourding, fat-tire brewing assholes are the ones who can often be snobby. Sure we can pack all ,our stuff into neatly organized tote-bins, have 3 square meals dehydrated into a 3 mon schedule, and breast-feed our kids while twirling fire (w/is I am fine w/)... that is all fine... just don't brag about it. I like all shit, and basically am a hippie-dippie blip head.
I like hippy music, I attended the Grateful Dead (or what's left of it) this summer. (in fact if some1 can find me Sommerset, WI 8/3/03 lemme know, thats the 1st show I ever heard that I was at..). Other than the afformentioned & some Orb, Ween or select Pink Floyd bootlegs.. I don't trade (I have Pinkie Milkie anyone? I want Screamin Abadabs)
