CALLING ALL FAMILY!!!!

The Cat you see pictured below, behind Jerry, is Uncle Jay. Uncle Jay has been a fixture in the Southern California Grateful Dead Family. He and his wife Mary lovingly have grown cannabis for years and worked hard to make sure that Jerry was always taken care of on that front. Their medicine was the fuel for much of the beloved Garcia/Grisman music we now know and love.

Well, now it’s our turn to step up. When an emergency room visit on Sept. 7 showed not only an inguinal hernia, but also enlarged lymph nodes, further blood work and scans confirmed advanced prostate cancer, which has spread to multiple areas. Working with an oncologist, Jay has been started on a regimen of shots to slow the cancer’s growth (it cannot be eliminated, only slowed). He has recently been made aware of a new drug (a daily pill) which, when taken in conjunction with the shots, increases the success of the regimen. The new pills are super expensive and would have to be continued, like the shots, from here on out. We’re looking at $45,000- $65,000 of out of pocket expenses plus copay costs for the possible 3-5 years they’re hoping to have here together.

No Simple Road’s Weekly Rewind

Catch up with the No Simple Road crew as they discuss everything from the music scene, family life, show recaps & reviews, spirituality, psychedelics, and everything in-between! We produce these episodes in collaboration with The Edible Beats out of Denver, Colorado. Do yourself a favor and head over to their website to find out more!

This week on the Weekly Rewind is here to help you be as informed as possible heading to see Phish in Las Vegas at The Sphere. We have with us in the studio Jordan Busch of Venue Llama.com, The Venue Llama Podcast and owner of Fire On The Mountain and we also have Darren Nutrelle who has actually been to The Sphere and has the low down.

This is a first for our beloved Phish community and we want to make sure we do everything we can to help us all have the best damn time possible in Las Vegas this week!

We guide you through the ins-and-outs of the entry and exit processes of this one-of-a-kind venue and talk about some creative ways to get to and from The Sphere without having to take a Lyft or Uber. We cover what the security was like for the U2 shows and what to expect heading in as well as what the different seating sections are like and some true safety concerns and tips for what to do if you experience vertigo inside the massive Sphere.

We give you all the heads-up on the Late Night shows scheduled, some late night cheap spots for food and drinks, some restaurant suggestions for each of us and tips and tricks for navigating Vegas without losing your shirt or your shoes!

This is seriously a comprehensive guide from some of us who lived in Vegas for over 30 years. We hope you get a ton from it and have a blast! SEE YOU AT THE SPHERE!
