Nicely done. Thoroughly and convincingly showcases a viewpoint I hold that I also wish was “cynical not realistic” that an overwhelming percentage of human behaviors seem performative and role-fulfillment. Still trying to engage in society, but rivers and mountains usually make better company than people.
Not even remotely surprised. Feel free to use the shots if you wish. Mostly I wanted to give you a mini vacation. My wife and I used to go there at least once a month, but then…. Finally got her back there last week. Magical.
Fantastic. I prefer to call this story "Tuesday in the music biz". Banger
I could have probably made this one a novel if A: I had the time and
B: I hadn’t revealed the ending
Thank you for not writing a book!
The Dead Heads were enough trauma for one life time.
Although exploring names for Marinated Antelope groupies might be entertaining.
I reread books I read the ending of the first time I picked them up. This is a good, story - compelling, J.
Even more, if it weren’t true, very likely to happen.
Quite the publicity stunt!
People in that biz do crazy stuff for money. I worked the Limp Bizkit show on the roof of Off the Record where they knew they were getting arrested
Dude... DUDE! This is exceptional!
Very glad you like it. The idea clobbered me this morning.

I’m firmly a river and forest guy for a city kid.
Wanted to send you a shot from recent hike round here, but it doesn’t seem I can send pics.
That’s always wonky for me too
Huh. And with that I see the icon. Here’s one of the best places in the world.
They could totally film a fantasy series there.
Cool. I didn’t think they went through. Sorry if they appeared twice.
I grabbed the thumbnail from the preview message and enlarged them. Might be the highest tech thing I’ve ever done
I appreciate your interest and effort! The real trick is to expand it so it’s your whole world.
I have some detailed fantasy worlds created, incorporating pastoral and seafaring

Now that's a story for our day.
Nothing is as it seems.
I wonder for how long Grok can continuously create engaging video.
People are irrational; I doubt Grok can pull it off.
The Dot. C'mon was a nice touch :-)
I spent the entire story wondering just how marinated the antelope was going to be.
C'mon!
I don’t mess with Grok at all. The Marinated Antelope groupies are the Deer Players
I’m not a fan of censorship in art APART from “Baby it’s cold outside” which is a part of r@pe culture and should be expunged from history.

Great story, Jimmy.
Thanks Paul! Glad I’m still able to pump out some good ones
Youre the kind of writer that makes me mad in the best way possible. Just amazing.
Thanks. I’m on a lifelong quest to not suck. I know some of them are gonna kinda suck sometimes, but I try to keep that to a minimum.
You’re the first person I've actually sent to some friends. Had to Google how to do it. Stop making me do stuff. Love your brain.
Send me to rich friends. I’m like the Paddington of Substack
