Saget lit up. "I got in a car which drove me to a venue, walked directly on stage, the crowd erupted, I walked off stage and got right back in a car. It was the best!"
It really was. RIP, Bob Saget.
I have a Bob Saget story to share.
I never really met him. But in 2007 Guster was playing at the Boston Opera House. We noticed that Saget was performing a sold out show at the Orpheum down the street, and we thought itโd be funny to invite him to appear on stage with us...
Never played an encore in drag before but we did just that in Ponte Vedra FL tonight.
Wouldnโt have thought to do it but all the attention from Florida politicians convinced us to try.
Kinda liked it.
Thanks for the idea Ron DeSantis!
So Mike Johnson adopted his 14 year old "black son" when he was 25 and unmarried.
Matt Gaetz adopted a 14 year old Cuban immigrant named "Nestor" when he was 30 and unmarried.
Both are powerful Republicans now in the House. Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?
Except Bob Saget actually burst through the banner. The crowd went fucken bananas. He hugged Ryan, shook the band members' hands, waved at the crowd, told Ryan โthis is awesome" and walked off stage. That was it...

Itโs not the ladders, itโs not the doors, itโs not the video games.
Itโs young fragile men with easy access to guns.
Itโs an industry that profits off fear and gun sales.
Itโs politicians whoโve been purchased.
Itโs the guns.
Many years later Ryan was hanging in LA with mutual friend Jeff Garlin when Saget showed up. After a while, Ryan asked him if he even remembers walking on stage at the Boston Opera House during the Guster show...
Our band is called
@guster
and weโre not usually very political on stage but if you try to squash creative expression youโll only summon more of it.
Keep fighting, Florida.
..in some capacity. We reached out to his management to ask if heโd burst through a Bob Saget banner during our encore.
They told us to go ahead and make the banner. It was really homespun...
The encore comes and we realize we never even told Adam about the plan. Weโre onstage getting the audience to chant โBob! Bob! Bob!โ so that Bob Saget might magically burst through this oversized sheet of paper, and I can see Adam getting super annoyed...
... he's strumming his guitar super aggressively because he thinks this is a lame joke, an exercise in anti-climax. That weโll have our bus driver or our guitar tech burst through and then play a deflated encore after riling up the crowd with an unfulfilled promise.
This has been circulating for a couple years but it's the greatest video of all time, made by the greatest fisherman of all time, and this video is my happy place.
My sweet dad Elliott Rosenworcel passed away today at age 81. Heโd been struggling with pneumonia for six weeks. While Iโm full of grief, I also feel so lucky to have had him with me as long as I did. He cared for me so deeply and I will miss him.

yeah these corporations are 3D printing fruits and sprinkling them ever so sparsely into their distribution systems because one rubber blueberry integrated in a pack of 50 Driscoll's berries is so cost-effective and ensures large profits and happy investors.

soon as it went down my sixth grader shouted "torn medial retinaculum!" and my fourth grader, who likes the celtics yelled back "yeah but we'll see if his posterior tibialis tendon is dislocated or not!" then they had popsicles.
@stoolpresidente
Your point sucks Dave. Leaving these decisions to people, with no real national plan, has gotten us to a shitty point. Waiting around for a vaccine and watching people die sucks. Someone needs to lead.
@davenewworld_2
Shouldn't this guy be surrounded by African American teenagers with AR-15's who are there just to protect the community? I mean, we're about to establish that that's legal and patriotic, right?
Walz is a gun owner and hunter who rejects the NRA and might actually put the focus on the fact that *most* gun owners are in favor of sensible gun reform and not the fear mongering drivel you hear from the right wingers who stand to profit from gun sales.
Crappy night in Huber Heights Ohio. Weโve never played here and for some reason they had us headlining an amphitheater on a Tuesday. When our touring partners, the Wood Brothers, hit the stage at 8pm it was 94 degrees out but felt like 103 with the spiking humidity.

Between this and Mayra Flores claiming her kid was shoved by Pelosi, there is a massive new quest for victimhood underway in the GOP to distract from the Supreme Court making women *actual* victims of horrible policy.
Was gonna post Guster's upcoming spring tour dates (on sale today) here on Twitter but exposing my bandmates' specific locations and the exact time and date they'll be there would be a violation of the new doxxing policy.
If Trump had been able to convince the GA Sec of State to โrecalculateโ 12,000 votes in his favor, he still would have lost the election by 7 million votes, and 42 electoral votes.

It is the brief but sincere moment of self-reflection and humility upon learning the true stats that gives me hope.
Just kidding, he expressed no self awareness whatsoever. I feel hopeless.
And to think I almost missed the chance to share that moment with him because I was wallowing in my own superficial misery.
It's important to be reminded that music is powerful.

Have you paid your own? Like, you're asking AOC if she's paid her taxes... meanwhile you are shuffling around a portfolio of stocks and switching industries based on privileged access to pandemic information? AOC was *elected* to her seat Kelly.
I just tried to click the โsee more tweetsโ banner but the page shifted and I accidentally liked one of Marco Rubioโs scripture tweets.
Tough start to the day.
Iโm gonna take a shower.
Governor Kemp refuses to answer a question about how to make Georgia schools safer from gun violence: โThis is not the day to talk about safety or policy. We need thoughts and prayers for the victims, law enforcement and educators.โ
Would he say that if a plane had just crashed?
A disgruntled man with easy access to a killing machine chose to kill. Eight innocent people dead.
The only surprise here is that we still act shocked.
Banning AR-15's and regulating who owns guns - that's the very least we should do.
Angry men are here to stay. Guns gotta go.
Guster at โPorchfestโ in Somerville today. A house on our old street (Aberdeen Rd) that was willing to let us play their porch.
Made it thru 4 songs before an ambulance needed to reach someone in the crowd - so we dispersed people for safety.
Take care of each other Somerville!

Youโre lucky youโre not like the other seven million of us who had to suffer through the virus without top notch tax payer funded care
@SenRickScott
I am sorry for your loss. The hardest part must be looking in the mirror and knowing that you could have removed assault weapons from our streets but you didnโt. And now your friend is dead.
