[TenerHallTerror]

really kind of stumped. He's a fellow Penn State grad, likes jam bands and especially the Grateful Dead, fellow Bills fan . . . really stumped on what to get him this year.

any of you old farts got some ideas??

I'd go with an activity to create a memory trumps gifts. Fishing trip, hunting trip, concert, bowl game, golf trip, etc.

Check out Man Crates...awesome gifts that come in wooden crates. Been using these for a few years. The feedback has been great.

Tix to PSU sporting event.

How about a nice Elisabeth Shue autographed picture?

How about a really expensive, poor quality, jersey in his favorite color from Gambit Worldwide Enterprises? I've got a few like the one shown below for just over a grand. Imagine the surprise when your brother opens the gift box and sees this beauty! And you can use the Gambit tag line "You won't believe what I paid for that piece of crap!" Guaranteed to both impress and depress! NOTE: If he's an Eagle's fan, I've got some Super Bowl Champion shirts on the way that look even worse and cost even more!

I friend of mine got me 50 beers for 50 years. I thought it was a great idea. He had a little of everything, beers from our youth, a couple high end, a couple not so high end. Some I've had before, others not. Very cool gift from my perspective.

Other than the Bills, I think I'm your brother.
Get him a pair of tix for Dead & Co. Every show is a winner with them.

we were lucky enough to see the Dallas show this tour, IMHO the best one they had.

If the 2018 Shelby GT350R is off the table (his favorite color of course), then I like Katcthis' idea of a memory gift. My two buddies and I do this for each other now and then and it's appreciated by all. Some great times with memories to last a lifetime...even if we'd like to forget a few!

He's a PSU fan so I'd recommend a bottle of Viagra along with a bottle of aspirin.

The Blue and White make an alluring contrast.

Plus one represents what women are good for while the other depicts what they ultimately leave you with.

AARP membership!

Tickets to Hamilton. Skydiving. The steely Dan idea is awesome.
Paul Simon his last tour today as did Elton. Trip to Chicago to see Wrigley.

When I look back at my ancient life, I remember concerts,
Plays, and trips. The rest is kind of a blurr.

Camping trip and concert this summer at Darien Lake may be manageable. Lynyrd Snynrd on July 13 was a big announcement and the Dead are there on June 19.

If he is in Texas with you, get him tix to Bills vs Texans in Houston and find a Bills Mafia tailgate and let him jump through a burning folding table!!

If he's a dead header, then get him tickets to a show for one of their tribute bands. Don't know where he lives but here is a link to the Grateful Dead tribute bands and where/when they are performing. You can search by state.
