Bayliss: In case you haven’t heard, Jake can’t play with us until he resolves his drinking problem. Anyway, here’s a song I wrote about staying at a bar way too late drinking by myself:

Rob is in a band called night zero and they were pretty good when we saw them recently in Portland at the bayside bowl
What’s wrong with that?
While polishing off a bottle of red
Don’t know how I hadn’t heard about this group yet, sounds like a solid collection of players. Hope they make it to CA at some point.
Who has a list of all the jakeless shows?

I hear that if you ask ChatGPT for a list of all the Jakeless shows through 2033, you can get UM’s touring schedule through 2033 in advance!

I asked chatgpt because I was trying to meme on how bad it was at this niche jam band but actually this list seems pretty accurate through March 2026 (include every show since then ofc). Not sure if there are any other 2022 shows that it missed

Excellent work.
Did about 24 brats, 10 hot dogs, and 10 burgers on grill. Also smoked Mexican street corn dip and baked beans.
House Cocktail: A Strawberry/watermelon agua Fresca with some Tequila. Been hitting the bottle way to hard this afternoon.

I will plug the meat market where I got those from.
Established in 1927. My dad would always buy links from there when I was a kid. Happy that they’re still in business and appear to be thriving. Place is always busy when I go in there.

Some good looking dogs!
Are they precooked? If so, looks like you overcooked them a bit. It’s tough with so many sausages.
I had it easy with 3 baby’s from Kuby’s in Dallas

Using footage from last year at Pine Creek Lodge but cropping the video so no Jake

It’s over. Jake is done and forming a two piece band with his new gf.

I know you are joking but it sure feels this way.
It’s weird they cut out Jake from the pine creek promo. Definitely feels like a breakup is in the works after that.
