The bus came by. We got on. That's how it all began.
Almost as soon as the Fare Thee Well shows were announced, folks started planning to meet in Chicago.
They met. They connected. Things were never the same.
And now, further!
Or maybe Furthur.
St Dilbert
teaches that the number of Deadheads is not static, but rather a dynamic number and as such, is unknowable.
Good Point Boo
However, we may be dodging the more important question of "How many Dead Heads can twirl on the head of a pin?"
St. Twirlbert
"unknowable" is not unbounded.
I am going to start the bidding at 250,000 (+1) (the RCF*)

Good news is
We have killer floor seats for tomorrow's Coldplay concert in Houston, right on the aisle at the center stage extension...
The not-so-good news is we got this shaggy dog coming onshore Friday at 7 PM, right on time for the first notes:

Sounds exciting
Killer seats! Just take an inflatable raft and you'll be fine. And keep us posted. Onward!
@salty dogs...
Congrats on the kickass ducats. I'm sure the better half will have a blast. I saw the forecast and it's no joke. 15-20 inches of rain in Houston, hope DFW is spared a bit. Prayers to you and yours from da Buff....Remember when you load the arc take 2 of everything, dancing bears, twirlers, terrapins, dire wolves, cats, puppers, ravens, ahhhh you get the idea. Stay dry brother.
Missing Jerry something aweful today....
Have Flippers, Will Wade
Most of the rain will be arriving Sat-Mon, and we are hauling our buns out of there early Saturday morning, along with probably half the population of the Houston metroplex.
It's kinda fun, monitoring four twitter feeds, three websites, two weather channels and a soggy partridge inna pear tree for news. NRG stadium, site for the soiree, is being benevolent. They will let us bring umbrellas inside, but we gotta keep them closed.
Anybody want a box of rain? Free, while supplies last.
How 'bout them Cowboys!
Glad the Stadium is allowing much needed shelter. Stay safe and dry if you can.
Road trip list to Houston for Coldplay

3) Extra Oars, and a call out to Jimmy and his pack-a-row
4) Life Preservers
5) Big shout-out to Neptune
6) The fickle finger of fate award to Harvey da Hurricane, 'cause...
Bliss. Unpack. Show was just postponed.
http://images.spaceref.com/news/2017/ooHurricane_Harvey.jpg
Under that big blue blob just to the NE of the eye, is Houston, where the Coldplay crew is desperately packing up and loading out. When you can't even see the coastline, you know it's bad.
Never mind the creeks rising, or the rivers, lakes, ponds and bays. This time, the ocean is rumbling and a rising storm surge, with all the boxes of rain in the gulf, is set to hammer that fair city.
Harvey; not just an invisible rabbit anymore.
Couch-tour commencing in DFW...prayers to those en-route or already onsite.
@ Geomeister
good call by Coldplay, that storm is a monster, nothing worse than climbing steel in that crap
What a Bummer Geo
At least you weren't en route. Good to see even Harvey can't dull your great attitude and sense of humor. Onward.
Praise be to Nero's Neptune....
The Titanic sails at dawn....and everybody's shouting which side are you on?
Glad you bailed Georgie boy....
God does work in mysterious ways....
Stay safe, stay dry, hug those who matter most...and pet the rest....
(Coldplay is waaay overrated)

Dots where it's at
Fall D & CO Tour announced.
Daydream Fall reunion, Dallas,
Price of admission, who gave out the licorice at FTW 2015?
Those who know, are in the know.
Pre-register with
ticketb*st*rd, WTF??
What happened to mail order? Must be tough to find a bot to mail all those requests. In their misguided efforts to "get the tickets directly in the hands of the fans" they now have the foxes guarding the henhouse.
This is the same procedure employed for the Boss's run on broadway. Tickets were immediately on sale on stub hub for upwards of $6,000.00.
wishing and hoping
Hey Mkav-
preregister with the new ticketmaster verified fan site
and now for something completely different....
Just heard the posthumous Gregg Allman album Southern Blood in its entirety. What a fitting tribute to a vital part of music history....
https://youtu.be/DtJHGb5923Y
RIP brothers Gregg, Duane, Berry, Butch and Lamar...
it is worth a listen...
now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
To those affected by Irma....be well....
Wishing and Hoping revisited
Just as a friendly reminder, you all got one more day to get your yayas at Ticketmaster, get verified.
Don't be like Bob, who missed out, be like Shirley, and jest:
https://deadandco.tmverifiedfan.com/
I think you need to pick a city in the preregistration, so if you are going to multiple shows, register for each one separately
Deadline is tomorrow.
Presale is 9/12.
Ba Dus keeps us truckin on

We're in for Dallas.

yep...Indians have all the pieces. Last year they got to the last game of the WS with 3 healthy pitchers.. Klu-bot was worn out by game 7. They're all healthy this yr, knock on wood, so hopefully they get it done.
Players and the city really seem to appreciate Francona,
Now, if the BROWNS get a 21 game winning streak, that's a story!!!
Regular Joes and Marthas
will get to spin the wheel today, as the masses queue up for Dead & Company tickets. Billie is busy sorting socks. He has priorities, you know.
Public sale starts at 10 AM in whatever time zone your show is in.
Don't be like Billie, and end up with a nice drawer of socks but no tickets. Be like Joe, be like Martha, give it a twirl, and smile, smile, smile.
2 Extras for D&Co Dallas
I have 2 extra tickets for Dead & Company’s Dallas show on 12/1/17. Not bad either: First Level, Section 117, Row K, Seats 1 & 2. You can have ‘em for face. Let me know this week if you think you’re interested. Onward!
