Forums:

It has been 14 years since you left for another Journey.  You are missed by many and always in our thoughts.  R.I.P. Adam Gittman (Gitmo).

Some great PhilZone times with the Zappa video and sadly comforting, Phil's mention.

I was at Targhee Bluegrass Fest that year and saw a guy that looked liked Gitmo. Stopped him and took a pic, and told him the story why.

Gitmo lives in my brain in that story that was told about the waitress at a rib joint who asked him if he wanted a full rack or half-rack of ribs. 

As I remember it, correct me if I'm wrong, his reply was, "Do I look like a half-rack kind of guy?" I smile whenever I think of that.  

Comfort to all y'all who got to hang with him. You eastie Zoners know how to connect and party. It was a joy to watch. 

thx for the ZpZ memory.

This years Targhee Fest looks better than last years! hope to make it there again...

I never met Gitmo, but I don't think I've ever read anything but positive things about him on the black screen. That by itself is notable.

Slick what a great flashback

Lololol

OMG Jill. Adam's ribs. Perfect.

Happy to see you at Cap.
Sad about world & life & strife.
Wishing you nothing but pure white molten light.

I'll never forget seeing him at that Phil show at the Tower and then the disbelief of hearing of his passing the next day. If memory serves he was wearing a Yankees shirt and we had a brief conversation at the bar. Truly shocking!

not sure if that was the night. if so, the yankees were crushing philly, much to all of the patrons' horror

Adam was standing there, solemnly, silently shushing me, as to say "this is already bad enough got them"

it amused me then, and now, endlessly

that sweet vision of him will never leave me

cam, it was a surprise to see you

I'll never forget what he did for me in NYC ( think it was Furthur MSG), we  were all hangin outside of like 3 bars, I went in to one to try to pee...what a mess !  I was swallowed by the crowd...then this BIG beautiful hand reached out to me and said " Fidd, grab my hand " ...I did and he parted the way to safety and returned me to Bob .

I saw that day that this place was more than just gossip on a computer screen...the Big Heart he had and many more  chance meetings with him that this space has heart behind the words. He had a smile a mile wide and was the real deal <3

I think of him often,,,missing for sure :)
