    I'm Joe. I live in Ireland

    I'm Joe. I live in the west of Ireland.

    I am looking for a pen pal to write real pen and paper letters... share memories of the Grateful Dead, and stories about Ireland.

    I write poetry and shun technology. I have no email... a friend Dave is posting on my behalf. I am 74 years old. Let me know if you would like me to write a real old snal mail ;-)

    Looking for Tobin Smith or Domonique Farely

    Tobin and I attended July 10th 1987 Dylan/Dead show in Philly together and he got lost en route to the venue! We also went to the same high school, Bullis, in Potomac, MD circa 86-87. I'd love to run into him again and catch up.
    I knew Domo from school too. Good times.
    Is anybody else out there a dead head from Bullis HS in the late 80's? Did you attend our little Trips festival we had in Fall '86 at school during 'Recreation Day' or some such thing?

    Looking for Cindy Wright…

    Looking for Cindy Wright. Bay Area deadhead who used to work at BASS tickets and who was seeing the Dead since her first show at the closing of the Fillmore West in July 1971. She lived in Oakland or Alameda but was originally from Modesto or some other Central Valley time. Message me on twitter at @DrBeechwood if you have any info!

    Anyone know this lady Deadhead? She made these beautiful hand-painted parking lot shirts in 1980. I bought one. They were a limited edition of 100. I just wonder if she is still around. Thanks.

    Hey now!

    Anyone know how to find the person or people in charge of licensing for Dead-related stuff?

    I'm trying to navigate through Rhino and the only licensing stuff I can find seems to be about music. What about gear?

    Thanks in advance for any help or answers provided!

Does anyone know how I might contact the 3 persons who were hit by lightning right before the show began on 6/25/1995. I believe their names were Kristin Daniel, Kira Lee, & John Pongel. Does anyone know them or what happened to them in life? I would really like to hear from them.

I just moved to Grand Haven Michigan, and am a little depressed about it. I was told to not have any stickers on my car or I will get pulled over in 30 seconds. That you better not wear the wrong clothes or have too many piercings. I'm just not used to keeping it in. I like to let my freak flag fly! I'm hoping to find a few cool people to hang out with without having to drive for hours. I know we are everywhere, hopefully I find some kind people here!

Does anyone around here know the Randy Jackson who put together the website Roots of the Grateful Dead, here:http://taco.com/roots/roots.html (He's NOT the guy from Journey/Idol judge.) I've referred to his site many times over the years, and I get worried every time I look at the note at the bottom of the front page that reads "Last updated 12/13/1996". So, I archived all of his information, and I'd like to get in touch with him regarding it, but the e-mail address listed for him isn't valid any more, and I can't seem to find him anywhere on the internet. He has some really good stuff on there, and it would be sad if it weren't available any longer. If anyone knows him or how to get a hold of him, or Randy, if you read this, could you please PM me? Thanks very much! Kutsavi

Hi I just saw the Greek Theater and three Red Rock shows. I am coming to Chicago in November and have an extra ticket for both shows. I have not decided where to stay but the Intercontnental with its incredible indoor pool is an option. I am looking for a lovely lady to accompany to dinners (at least one at Bayless' place) and to the shows and to wherever else we decide would be fun. I am single, white male. 55 years old. Lawyer in San Francisco. if you are interested, you can reply to triune3@gmail.com and we can carry the conversation on from there.

I'm in need of a few good, kind hearted, trustworthy heads in or around South Jersey to make my life less lame. I currently living alone in a house I rent out in the sticks and have little but my volunteer job, xbox live (such a time waster), and my art to keep me company. Not looking for sympathy or pity friends, just a few good heads to kick it with in my little house in the beautiful countryside of south Jersey. I have a HUGE backyard that has so much potential, and no one to share it with, so if you live in Jersey and feel like chillin' around a campfire before the winter hits, or could fill my house with the blessings and company of good family then shoot me a message on here and we shall see what comes of it. Much love, be good family... ~LaughTear

I'm just in the very beginning stages/brainstorming a book on the concert from 5.8.77. Widely considered to be the best show the band ever played, I'm hoping to gather enough photographs, recollections and other assorted information to turn the book into an oral biography. But of a show, not a person. If you were there and would like to tell me about the show/what you recall/what you saw please be in touch. No memory is too small! Feel free to email me at cornell5877@gmail.com. Thanks. Jawal Nga

Hello family :) I was wondering if you could maybe help me out with a little something. I'm trying to find this older woman that I met at the Bill Graham this past new years, or if this is you, even better: Her/Your name is Deborah. I'd say she's in her late 50s-mid/late 60s with long white hair. She was sitting down in the handicapped section (I believe with another gentlemen, maybe her husband?) on Phil side down on the floor of the Bill Graham this past new years (2010-2011). During the show, she/you were taking pictures of a short girl named Lauren with brunette dreads and a black sparkly scarf. You told her that it was like looking at a reflection of yourself from years past. That girl, Lauren, is me. And Deborah, if you by chance see this, I'm so sorry I haven't gotten in contact with you! I lost your business card with your contact info amongst the madness that was new years eve and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to properly say goodbye- there was a situation with a friend that needed to be attended to immediately.. ay yi yi what a way to ring in the new year! Regardless, I really want to find you and connect with you! There are so many questions I want to ask! So, Deborah, if you see this, or fellow deadheads, if you know who I'm talking about and can help me out, please please PLEASE email me at laurenchristine87@gmail.com and let me know! Here's to putting all of the positive energy out into the universe and manifesting our reunion! Hope our paths will cross soon, mama! :) Love & light, Lauren

My brother and I boarded the train at the Damon/North Avenue station, and you were already on the train. I sat across the aisle from you and noticed you had a kind face. Your tousled hair peeked out from beneath your stocking cap. I kept stealing glances at you, wondering at yoru back story. The older woman sitting behind you asked to borrow your cell phone to make a call. You dialed the number for her and let her talk until the train stopped at the venue's station. We exited the train together and talked about the previous night's show and our anticipation of this night's show. My brother wanted to get a beer at the tavern across the tracks before the show, so we parted company. I wish we could have talked longer or exchanged contact info. And...in my wildest dreams I never thought I'd post a missive looking for a lost connection.
