Grateful Drag Band BERTHA Announces Second-Ever

BERTHA, the Grateful Drag band taking the nation by storm, has announced a second show following the band’s successful debut at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge last month.

Once again, the concert will serve as a benefit for Inclusion TN, but this time BERTHA is taking the world’s first Grateful Drag show to a larger stage at Analog at Hutton Hotel. Set for Saturday, October 21st, the show will feature the same harmony trio of Berthas backed by an all-Bertha band, plus yet unannounced special guests.

BERTHA is an “all-star collective of femme, queer and allied East Nashville musicians, fighting hate in TN and beyond” according to the group’s instagram. Intended as a protest against Tennessee’s recent drag ban laws and a representation of queer Dead culture, the band plays the music of the Grateful Dead dressed in drag, as the “Grateful Drag” moniker suggests.

Every member of the band is referred to as Bertha (or a Bertha), and they have remained secretive about their identities. However videos from the band’s debut performance listed the lineup as Lindsay Lou (vocals), Caitlin Doyle (vocals), Melody Walker (vocals and guitar), Thomas Bryan Eaton (guitar), Jacob Groopman (bass), Alex Bice (drums), Milly Raccoon (fiddle), and Kyle Tuttle (banjo).

Tickets are on sale now for the second-ever BERTHA performance and Inclusion TN benefit. For more details and tickets, head here.

St. Joe’s Amp ticketholder blindsided by lawn

Some Central New York concert fans are upset with the lawn chair policy at the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater at Lakeview.

ASM Global, which manages the St. Joe’s Amp in Syracuse, said Tuesday the venue won’t allow outside lawn chairs for any concerts with more than 14,000 tickets sold. Capacity is 17,500, so this largely applies to sellouts or nearly sold out shows — including four on this year’s lineup: Chris Stapleton (June 8), Shania Twain (July 8), Phish (July 23) and Zac Brown Band (Aug. 11).

“For the safety, comfort and experience of all fans, the Venue reserves the right to not permit outside lawn chairs from being brought into the venue,” the policy states. “A limited number of lawn chair rentals will be available for advance purchase online or at the venue on the day of the event, while supplies last.”

Darien Lake Amphitheater has a similar rule. Live Nation’s website says Darien Lake will not allow outside lawn chairs for concerts expecting large crowds, such as Post Malone and Fall Out Boy.

But Cindy Maudlin, a North Syracuse resident who has tickets for Stapleton and at least one more St. Joe’s Amp concert this summer, says she was blindsided by the rule.

Maudlin told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard that she bought tickets for Stapleton in March and didn’t see any warning that fans might not be able to bring their own lawn chairs. She estimated she’s been to 40 shows at the former Lakeview Amphitheater since it opened in 2015, and always brought chairs because her sister is disabled and cannot stand for three-plus hours.

“Never once have I not been able to bring my chair,” Maudlin, 62, said.

ASM Global said the policy began last year for the sold-out Morgan Wallen concert, which drew about 18,000 fans — slightly above capacity at the Amp. Stapleton, the first concert of the 2023 season, is expecting a similarly large crowd and would be the second Amp event to trigger the rule.

According to Live Nation’s website, the lawn is completely sold out for the “Tennessee Whiskey” singer, and lawn chair rentals also appear to be sold out. That means any fans who want to sit in a chair may have to pay extra for a seat under the pavilion; just 40 tickets remain unsold and none of them are next to each other. (The cheapest seats under the pavilion are currently listed at $121.75, including fees and reseller options.)

ASM Global announced the policy Tuesday, but Maudlin said she didn’t find out about it until Ticketmaster directly emailed her on Wednesday — just eight days before Stapleton’s concert. She immediately tried to reserve rental chairs, but saw they were sold out.

A rep for ASM Global told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard that they did not know how many rental chairs are available at the amphitheater, but said the number is limited for safety reasons when there are large crowds.

Maudlin said she called the Oncenter box office and was eventually able to get chairs after more were made available. Maudlin said her sister is not ADA disabled and does not use a wheelchair, but said her sister cannot sit on the grass or stand for extended periods of time.

But now they might not want to go at all.

“I’m up in the air, to be honest. If the concert is going to be that crowded, I might just sell my ticket. I just think it’s crappy that people who can’t sit or stand for a long time are being penalized,” said Maudlin. “If this is their new policy, I doubt we will be going back there!”

Refunds are not being offered, but questions or issues can be directed to the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater at Lakeview website’s contact form or by calling 315-435-5100.

How to get tickets to Billy Joel’s final MSG

After more than 45 years, the Piano Man is leaving the building.

Billy Joel, 74, has just announced that he will play his final concert as part of his record-shattering residency at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in July 2024.

That means the “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” singer has just 14 more concerts at the Knicks home arena — the last of which will be his 150th at the venue.

And while tickets aren’t available yet for Joel’s last ten Garden gigs, you can score seats for his NYC concerts from June through September this year.

Some are quite cheap too.

At the time of publication, we found a few seats going for as low as $69 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Not a bad price considering the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer that brought the world “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” “Big Shot,” “Only The Good Die Young” and so many more won’t be performing at the venue for much longer.

Abu Dhabi Police warn of fraudulent website links

Picture used for illustrative purposes.

Abu Dhabi Police on Wednesday warned the public to beware of fraudulent calls and links to fraudulent websites resembling those of government entities.

Abu Dhabi Police warned of fraudulent calls and links to fraudulent websites via short text messages that phish the public and provide fake services and temptations with benefits relevant to government agencies via their websites or e-mail.

ADP also warned against the renewed methods of scammers and fraudsters to lure victims after obtaining information related to their bank accounts and reusing that data again, to withdraw funds from their bank accounts.

The Abu Dhabi Police advised the public not to share their confidential information with anyone, including bank account or bank card information, online banking passwords, ATM PINs, Card Verification Value (CVV) number or passwords, noting that bank employees and banks would never ask for such information.

It called on the public, in the event of fraud, to go to the nearest police station and quickly report any calls received by unknown persons asking them to update their banking data, and to contact the Aman security service number 8002626 or by sending a text message to 2828 to enhance its security efforts in the face of these fraudulent methods and to protect society.

Qobuz Releases Full Jerry Garcia Solo Catalog in

Qobuz Jerry Garcia Photo Credit: Jerry Garcia Family

Qobuz releases the complete Jerry Garcia solo catalog, containing the artist’s full live and studio discography in Hi-Res with the Jerry Garcia Family’s ‘stamp of approval.’

Hi-Res streaming and download provider Qobuz has released the complete Jerry Garcia solo catalog on the platform, both in-app and online. Working directly with the Jerry Garcia Family, the full discography of both live and studio recordings are majority Hi-Res, all in the best available resolution.

“Our family is dedicated to sharing our Dad’s music throughout the world in the highest quality possible,” says Trixie Garcia, Jerry’s daughter. “Jerry loved creating music, and today we continue to expand his legacy, to both new and experienced fans, with the launch of his catalog on Qobuz. Sit around with friends and enjoy Jerry’s music knowing the common dedication and effort to providing fans with the best quality possible!”

Qobuz aims to differentiate itself from most music providers as a platform built for music lovers who want Hi-Res content for streaming and download. To that end, between the entire Jerry Garcia solo catalog, the complete Grateful Dead streaming catalog, and all of the exclusives on offer — editorial features, liner notes, curated playlists, and more — Qobuz is the ultimate destination for Deadheads seeking the most immersive “like-you-were-there” listening experience.

Jerry Garcia moved so effortlessly between genres, exploring those spaces with such a high level of creativity and technicality,” adds Qobuz Head of Music Content, Sujan Hong. “It’s a pleasure to be able to share this catalog with veteran fans to newly experience in Hi-Res audio and with newcomers to discover for the first time.”

Qobuz’s upcoming release from the “Garcia Vault” arrives on June 30, GarciaLive Volume 20: June 18, 1982, Cape Cod Coliseum. The latest entry in the GarciaLive archival series features the track “Valerie,” which is already available on Qobuz ahead of the release.

HHC vs HHC-O vs HHC-P Guide

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Jimi Hendrix and Albert Hofmann got together and designed a cannabinoid experience? If so, welcome to the world of alternative cannabinoids, or ‘Alt Noids’ for short. This is the space where science and psychedelia meet, producing unique compounds that push the boundaries of what we thought possible. 

Today, we’re going to dive deep into the world of HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P, exploring their similarities, differences, and their place in the cannabinoid cosmos. Buckle up, because we’re about to go on a magical mystery tour of alt noids.

Overview: HHC vs HHC-O vs HHC-P

In the cannabinoid realm, THC and CBD may be the Lennon and McCartney, the dynamic duo that most people know and love. But there’s a new wave of cannabinoids, known as alt noids, knocking on the doors of perception. These include HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol), HHC-O (Hexahydrocannabinol-Oxide), and HHC-P (Hexahydrocannabinol-Pentyl).

Born out of the alchemical crucible of scientific curiosity, these compounds are synthesized using a variety of innovative techniques, and each one offers a unique spin on the classic cannabinoid experience. Now, let’s trip the light fantastically and explore these mind-expanding substances in more detail.

RS HHC vs HHC O vs HHC P Guide 02

HHC vs HHC-O vs HHC-P: Similarities and Differences

Think of HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P as variations on a psychedelic theme, each one playing a different tune that resonates with our endocannabinoid system. These substances are siblings in the vast cannabinoid family, each with its unique quirks and characteristics, much like the individual members of a classic rock band.

Chemical Structure

In terms of their chemical structure, HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P are all derived from the same basic cannabinoid skeleton. They’re like different versions of the same song covered by the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Phish. They all have a similar vibe, but each brings its unique flavor to the mix.

HHC, short for Hexahydrocannabinol, possesses a fully saturated, or ‘hexahydro,’ cannabinoid structure. This means it’s more stable and less likely to degrade over time or under heat. Think of HHC as the bass player in our cannabis band – steady, reliable, and integral to the overall experience.

HHC-O, or Hexahydrocannabinol-Oxide, introduces an oxygen molecule into the mix. This gives it a slightly different tone and effect profile. HHC-O is like the drummer – it has a similar rhythm to HHC but brings a different energy to the performance.

Finally, we have HHC-P or Hexahydrocannabinol-Pentyl. It features a pentyl chain, subtly changing how it interacts with our endocannabinoid system. HHC-P is the lead guitarist, adding a new layer of complexity and color to the cannabinoid experience.

Effects and Benefits

Although these alternative cannabinoids exhibit similar structures, the experiences and advantages they provide can vary significantly, akin to comparing the catchy pop tunes of The Beatles to the expansive space-rock sagas of Pink Floyd.

HHC is known for its mild psychoactive qualities, providing an experience that can be as enlightening as it is vibrant. This might be similar to attending an enthralling reggae festival, brimming with vibrant colors and captivating bass rhythms. It’s chill and mellow, like a lighter version of Delta-9 THC. Users report relaxation, euphoria, and general feeling of being blissed out. 

On the other hand, HHC-O brings about slightly more enhanced effects. The effects are similar to HHC, but with a bit more of an intensity, like the crescendo of a jazz improvisation building up to its climax.

HHC-P is more like a full-blown festival experience. It’s the strongest of the bunch, packing a hefty punch more closely related to Delta-9 than either HHC or HHC-O.

The range of effects and benefits offered by these distinct cannabinoids is extensive, and can be personalized to suit individual tastes, just as you’d choose the ideal music genre to enhance the rhythm and harmony of your life’s voyage.

HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P Compared to Other Cannabinoids

When compared to other cannabinoids, HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P offer a unique blend of effects. They may not be as potent as THC, but their unique properties can offer a more nuanced experience that some users may find more enjoyable. In comparison to CBD, these alt noids offer a more elevated experience, bridging the gap between the relaxing effects of CBD and the intense journey of THC.

Legal Status of HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P

Navigating the legal landscape of cannabinoids can feel a bit like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. Laws and regulations vary from place to place, and they can change as quickly as scenes in a kaleidoscope. But fear not, dear reader, for we’re here to guide you through this labyrinth.

The Federal Act: 2018 Farm Bill

Let’s start with the 2018 Farm Bill, a piece of federal legislation in the United States that essentially gave birth to the hemp industry as we know it today. Under this bill, hemp and its derivatives were removed from the Controlled Substances Act, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P are synthesized from hemp-derived CBD, not directly from the plant. This puts them in a somewhat gray area legally. While they are not explicitly illegal, they aren’t legal either. It’s like a Pink Floyd song – open to interpretation, and everyone seems to have a different opinion.

State Laws

Just as the vibe at a Grateful Dead concert can vary from city to city, so too can the legal status of cannabinoids change from state to state. While federal law might be a bit blurry on the status of alt noids like HHC, HHC-O, and HHC-P, some states have crystal clear regulations. For instance, states like Colorado, with more developed and regulated cannabis markets, have laws explicitly prohibiting the manufacture and sale of synthetically derived cannabinoids.

International Law

In the global arena, the legal status of these alt noids is as varied as the cultural influences in a Beatles song. Some countries have strictly regulated cannabinoids, while others have a more laissez-faire approach. Always make sure to check the laws in your country before embarking on your alt noid journey.

RS HHC vs HHC O vs HHC P Guide 01

How to Shop for Alt Noids

Like a crate-digger searching for vinyl gold, shopping for alt noids requires a discerning eye and a savvy approach. Always look for reputable sources that provide lab tests for their products, ensuring you get a safe, high-quality experience. Professional packaging is also a good sign, as it shows the provider cares about their product and their customers.

You wouldn’t dive headfirst into an experience without knowing your dose, right? The same goes for alt noids. Make sure the dosage and potency information is clearly stated and easy to understand. Remember, in this world of cannabis exploration, knowledge is power, and the more you know, the better prepared you’ll be for the journey ahead.

June arts scene sizzles as summer arrives

Summer is here, or at least the month that welcomes summer is here. You’ll have to wait three weeks from the start of June for summer to begin officially, but let’s ignore all that official folderol and welcome that glorious season and its arrival in Vermont.

Summer’s start means summer arts. Music and plays head outdoors, and indoor events provide a cool refuge for those fairly infrequent Vermont days when the hot seasonal air becomes too much to bear.

Bear witness to some of these events that help Vermonters celebrate what it means to be alive and in Vermont at this darned-close-to-perfect time of year.

A scene from the Lost Nation Theater production of Vermont playwright/actor/director Erin Galligan Baldwin’s play “My Mother’s Three Mothers."

Lost Nation Theater premieres Vermont play

Through June 11, the world premiere production of Vermont playwright/actor/director Erin Galligan Baldwin’s play “My Mother’s Three Mothers,” which involves a woman’s search for her birth mother, continues its run that began May 25 by Lost Nation Theater, Montpelier City Hall Arts Center. $10-$30. www.lostnationtheater.org
