Grateful Dead

HEY NOW everybody--Im an internet rookie--Ive never even been online till we got my stepson a Wii for his B-day last Oct.(I Know--Welcome to this century,right?)My name is Georgie and I LOVE THE DEAD! Ive been on board since 88'-- my first shows were Oxford Me. 7/2 +7/3--and ever since then I went to as many DEAD--JERRY--WEIR--PHIL--RATDOG--ALLMAN shows as I possibly could(not PHISH though--I have to admit they dont really do it for me)but bassically anywhere I could get that "feeling"(you know that feeling)well needless to say--I dont get to just take off whenever I feel like it anymore because I married my childhood sweetheart(Beautiful AMY)and Im the Grateful Dad to two awesome(and ACTIVE) 3 y.o. twins (Robbie+Cassidy)and stepdad to 3 wonderful kids(Amanda-Devin+Talia)so shows are few+far between now. But that's o.k. because you appreciate it more when you do get to go.--anyway My wife is a nurse + Im a house painter--so I stay home w/ the twins in the winter.So-once in a while id like to shoot the shit w/some fellow HEADS and I need to know if this is the right place to do that.Money is wicked tight,but I am NOT missing at LEAST one springfling show(hopefully both Worcester shows--but I'll settle for ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT!!whoever can relate to what im sayin'--let me know--Love you guys-GEORGIE♪♪♪♪♪

Oh that... and sleeping in the trunk of my dad's friend's car. We camped out, but I hated sleeping with my parents, 'cause my dad snored like a bear. I'll always remember my dad's friend who they called "Joe Fig" opening the back of his car and clearing a space in the trunk and saying "sleep in here, little dude" - so I slept in the trunk with the hatch open for 3 nights. What a memory.

If you heard anything about some little kid running around with a water gun - that little shit was me. I remember I shot some folks with the water gun, and some dude grabbed my arm and was like"What's wrong with you kid - those people are trippin balls!!" Of course, at 10 years old, I had no clue what he was talking about. I still kinda feel bad about ruining their trip. I had a really amazing time though, and like I said - I've loved the music ever since. Being from San Francisco, and growing up with Dead Head parents gave me a unique experience. It is like family, and it's good to be home. Can't wait for May.

Grateful fairy is right on...these are some of the most beautiful people on the planet here. Come on in and take a look around,it's really an amazing array of topics and archives. Through this place, the dream lives on,like walking through the parking lot back in the day. The band is back now, but they never really went away thanks to the wonderful folk's here.And zuma, that show at Angel's camp was awesome,the Mountain Aire show. I was actually working for bgp and got to be there from the set up to tear down, it was a great time. Like stuman said, Welcome Aboard! peace,pk

with the 09 tour happening I see a bunch of new folks here and just wanted to say hey now hey now,, welcome aboard Dead.net !!

Hey family - I'm Matthew from San Francisco, born and bred on the Dead since I was a youngster. My first show was at Angel's Camp in 87 with Santana (10 years old), and I've been loving the music ever since. I just heard about the new tour, and I was upset with myself that I didn't make it to the New Year's Eve show at the Bill Graham here in SF. I decided to figure out how I could get news about the tickets maybe being on sale early - and here I am! I'll try and upload some of my original bootlegs from the early 90's at some point, and just join the discussion. The picture is my 1 year old son Marcus - he's already a baby Deadhead, and he listens to Shady Grove almost every day. It's his favorite song.

I'm 32 and live in Colorado. I started listening to the Dead in high school and haven't stopped since. Other than from the parking lot at Sam Boyd Silver Bowl in May of '95, I never got to hear Jerry play. Since then, I've enjoyed boys' shows and seeing the progression from the '96 Further Fest to the announcement of a new tour this year. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hey! Jason

Hi All After seeing a great NYE show and with the news the boys are going to light it up yet again, thought I'd make my electronic presence known. My first show was Feb 1977 at the San Bernardino Swing Auditorium. Hope to see all y'all on the road.

Hi out there everyone! My name is Melissa and I am from Knoxville, TN. Only being 25 years old, I have never experienced in person all that is the "Grateful Dead". I am absolutely obsessed with listening to Dead shows I have collected and various videos I have come across seeing as I cannot literally go back in time to get the full experience. I got into the Dead after seeing someone with a Liquid Blue Grateful Dead Shirt on when I was about 12. I asked them what their shirt meant, and the story that was told to me has led me to a wonderful world of beautiful people and beautiful music! I have seen some Rat Dog shows and and a few Phil shows but have never experienced the whole gang together. As soon as I heard the roumors of an 09 tour of the Dead I scurried over here to dead.net and found this great forum. In addition to the Dead I am a huge fan of Widespread Panic and have followed them a little bit (mostly shows in the South). I live for seeing live music as well as being outdoors weather it be camping, festivals, hiking, mountain biking, etc. I also enjoy sewing and crafting and love to sell my creations on lot and on my website. I am looking forward to gaining some more knowledge of all that is Dead! Thanks for having me aboard!
