At the Igs this year, the wooden bar stool I sat on while running the slides is the same bar stool Bob Weir sat on for three hours. Alas, not at the same time as I did.

My two wooden bar stools -- the ones with the black and white striped tops with carrots painted in the center of one and tomatoes painted in the same place on the other -- were on stage along with the comfy "saddle seat" bar stool the Reno in 2011 bid picked up on clearance just a week before the bid became Renovation.

Four simple bar stools, each with a history and the stories that come from that. Stories that are rarely known or told.

A quick Google search suggests that Bob's three hours on the stool took place on April 16, 2000. Coincidentally enough, that also happened to be my sister's 50th birthday.
