LOL yes. New Years Eve and tripping like fuck. An all-time memorable experience for a 17 YO kid.

The night started out with Charlie Daniels and then the Marshall Tucker Band. If I remember right the ABB's first set ended with Elizabeth Reed just before midnight, because at that time Bill Graham came riding down a wire to the stage, sitting in a huge joint and dressed up as Father Time. Thousands of balloons and then Statesboro Blues. I could be wrong on the sequence, but fuck what a scene!! It was broadcast nationwide on FM stereo, which at the time was a fairly new thing to most of us.

I recently read a writeup about that show and there are some funny stories behind it. The Dead ALWAYS had a local gig on NYE, except for that year. They had recently had a lot of success with their European Tour and a few high grossing (for them) albums and had jumped to their own record label. Apparently there was a dispute with the promoters about where they would play and they decided to just sit it out - because they could and didn't really give a shit. There were several other shows around town that included all the high profile local bands, and Jerry and Bill Kreutzmann ended up coming to this show. Apparently Butch Trucks got dosed sometime during the show by Owsley Stanley, in spite of Trucks expecting it and doing everything he could to avoid it. I guess he got too high and couldn't play anymore and Kreutzmann took over at that point.

Yeah it lasted until around 4 am. The show must have started about 9 pm. Back then rock concerts were mostly open seating with no chairs on the floor level. They didn’t oversell the tickets so you could generally go and stake out a small area (there was three of us), especially if you weren’t trying to get right up close. At these long shows you could usually walk around if you wanted to, find a seat in the upper level, and even work your way up closer to the stage for a while.

The Cow Palace is an old sports arena Daly City. The Warriors used to play there years ago. It was probably a 40 minute drive from my folks’ house.

$5.00 is probably pretty close. Could have been $7.50.

I know we paid $5.00 per game to sit in the right field bleachers at the ‘72 World Series in Oakland (vs the Reds). I wonder what those seats would cost now.

Stop making things up.
Viewed with just the naked eye, it is obvious that the sun and moon are at a minimum, perfectly aligned dinner plates. And in the case of the moon, we can plainly see that when we come between the two, we see our shadow on the moon.

Add a fairly simple telescope and this same phenomenon of celestial dinner plates extends to them.

Or has everyone who's ever looked through such a device just part of the coverup too?

Tides, seasons, length of day differences, moon phases, all make sense IF you believe the accepted model of the solar system.

Your model can explain none of these, because it was a model developed by people ignorant of such things who just tried to describe things as best they could.

Can you tell me how we can predict solar eclipses far in advance, right down to the date, time and place? Are these events in some religious book? Or maybe Jesus just whispered into someone's ear.

Eclipses have been able to be predicted for thousands of years, and the predictions did not require belief in the fairy tale globe.
For the vast bulk of human history, people have been of the understanding that the earth is flat and stationary.

Only in the more devolved time of the past few hundred years have people become SO DULL as to actually believe that water is clinging to the outside of a flying, spinning ball.
Truly insane.




Tables of the places of the sun and moon, of eclipses, and of kindred phenomena, have existed for thousands of years, and were formed independently of each other, by the Chaldean, Babylonian, Egyptian, Hindoo, Chinese, and other ancient astronomers. Modern science has had nothing to do with these

First, and for the umpteenth time, I don't know that the earth is flat.
That is my assumption.
It is reasonable and it is based on a lot of things.

Your end needs to cite an experiment showing water clinging to the outside of a flying, spinning ball and/or show us that you've measured the curvature of water over distance.
These fantastical things have never been shown, and until you do so, your globe model is not to be taken seriously.

1. I have shown you numerous times the 7 laser tests in 7 different locations, at 7 different distances, on 7 different days, in 7 different weather conditions showing in each instance that there is NO CURVATURE OF WATER OVER DISTANCE.
Fully documented and presented to you.

2. We routinely look across water and see structures standing tall, when if the globe was true, would be hidden below the curvature of the earth.
Routinely we see this.
And no, refraction is NOT the explanation for this.

3, Common sense tells us that water does not cling to the outside of a flying, spinning ball.
What are you people, on dope?


I do not know what the "shape" of the lights we see in the sky are.

I also don't consider it to be very important in this discussion.

Proving they are one "shape" or another will not prove the shape of the earth we live on.

If you're interested in looking into these things from a flat earth perspective, you could look at these two sources.

There is no evidence for the existence of a god, much less your god. Yet you blindly and fully accept a book of fiction as fact.

Of course, gravity -- understood for centuries -- fully explains why water stays on this globe known as earth.

If you cannot admit basic scientific facts for which there are mountains of supporting evidence, then it become even easier to dismiss your myths as, well, myths.

Even the Vatican accepts gravity, evolution, the shape of the earth, and lunar landings. It would be helpful to your cause if you did likewise.

It's just a perfectly safe Twitter post of a woman being assaulted in broad daylight by a naked man. And while it is a specific incident, it serves as a broad metaphor for society in general--that is, depraved joqqers wildly out of control creating havoc, and no one really intervening.

Your take on Flat Earth is amusing and I encourage you to pursue it, though again I suggest that your adamant religiosity creates a serious if not insurmountable obstacle to gaining or presenting a compelling argument.

It does not bother me at all if folks want to deny the true "cosmology" or not.
It absolutely will be known.



Revelation 6:12-17
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,
13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.
14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
16 calling to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand
?




EPIC!

I have posted about the world's longest swimming pool before.

Over a half-mile long.

According to the globe model, the water in this pool must be over 2 inches lower on an end than it is in the middle of the pool.

Or to illustrate, obviously not drawn to scale, they think that instead of the water being level, like the blue line in this drawing, it instead curves over the brown part of the drawing.
