    Take a Bus from Chicago to All State Arena to see the Dead
    I'm organizing a bus from The Fifty/50 Restaurant and Bar in Chicago, located in Wicker Park at 2047 West Division, to take Deadheads to see the Dead at The Allstate Arena in Rosemont. The show is May 5th and it starts at 7:30. The bus will leave the bar at 5:30pm and will leave after the concert ends and take people back to The Fifty/50. Beer will be provided on the bus before the show. Tickets are $40 per person and bus capacity is 32, but we will rent an additional bus if necessary. Contact sweiner@thefifty50.com if interested.

I hope we can connect again. Sister Faith from CT, its been a while, have not seen you around. Hope all is good, I would love to hear from you. Poet from New Orleans, who I have not seen sense the Flagstaff incident, summer 1993. We left the Tennessee gathering and headed for Vegas, but got separated in flagstaff. I've been looking for you forever, where are you? I have heard you are still around somewhere on the west coast. I have missed you much over the years brother. Karen from the Height who I last seen summer 95. I would love to hear from you again. I’ve been wondering what ever happened to you and I hope all is well. Please get in touch with me. Sunshine Cristy who I last seen in the summer of 95, who I heard was at some time sense then living in Colorado. I miss you sister, please get in touch with me.

Beaver Jamie who I last seen at Shoreline in 94 after we hitched up from Venice Beach. It was deathly hot in Vegas that year so we grabbed the first ride that came which took us to Venice. Then when we finally got out of there we hitched a ride with a crazy woman who deliberately took us the wrong direction and would not stop until we got to south central LA, where she forced us to get out. We then walked to Hollywood because no bus would stop for us and we sat by the freeway for three days trying to hitch before panhandling money for a bus ticket to Santa Barbara where we found a ride to shoreline and made it in time for the show.

We were together when we heard the news about Jerry. Both of you need to contact me. Please. Freedom Michelle from Syracuse (I Think) NY, who I met in Albany 93, and then you found me again at Nassau. We were supposed to hook up again in 94 but I never saw you.

I would love to hear from you sister, I hope you are well. The Sister from Maine who I met in Vegas in 93. I saw you at a Ratdog show in Portland ME in 98 (I think) and you gave me your number but I lost it, which really bummed me out. I have thought of you many many times over the years and I hope to see you again some day. I will never forget the time we spent together. Any one else not mentioned here, and there are many, names escape me, drop me a line. It is always good to hear from old family and friends. I miss you all so much. Its been almost 14 years since I've seen most of you, longer for some. My love for you has never and will not fade away. I love you all. Peace, Thomas from Michigan pyrorite@gmail.com

I m hoping one of you out theremight be able to help me. I followed the dead full time from 89-94 and met, fell in love with Otter/Derek. We got married at mile high stadium and tyler gave me away and wrecking crew gave a big party after in a sweet room. Roach motel folks were there too! Turtle is Otter/Dereks brother. Sadly...i was around when things got dark and people got strung out on bad things. i wont go into detail on a public forum lol. Lets say nothing good can come out of the Chelsea hotel in those days. Otter and I grew apart and I went to college and grew much older...never forgetting him or my the life i lived. I would so dearly love to reconnect with anyone from back in the day. Especially somoene who could tell me anything about Otter/derek or turtle (he would def know what happened to him). Ill list the folks we knew back then maybe it will ring a bell for someone.Otter, Turtle, Fast Eddie, Gracie, Hawaian Ed, ira, Fast Eddie, Crispy, mayla, Tyler, Rover from the haight id so love to hear from you, roach, TIGGER...you and i traveled together when we first started out!!!, morgan,poet, spacecat i love you, jim, michelle from san diego, spree, diamond fire......i hope this is enough.

Dennis McNally talked to the people who owned the house, in about 1980; I think it's in the Grateful Dead Reader. I think your best path is the property tax records, though, as the place may well have changed hands since then.

Hello.I am sure some of you might have heard of the unidentified decedent "Jason Doe". He supposedly attended the Grateful Dead summer 1995 concerts on june 24 and june 25 of. He died in a car crash june 26 and has never been identified. So please take a moment to look at the information by googling "Jason doe" and if you knew a Caroline O. or a Caroline T. or a Jason maybe you have some information that might help bring him home. Since I am uncertain of the site policies about links in comments I hope you will be willing to do a Google search yourself if you know someone or something relevant. I apologize if this has already been discussed on the forums but I feel like someone here might be able to help. Thank you!

Hi Sarah,I have just been contacted by one of my old friends from Dead Tour.You have been talking with him,Larry,about finding your father,Windancer.I could only find this posting from you as he did not give me your current connection?Hopefully you will get this?My husband and I are very close to your father.His real name is Jonathan Timmer,yes,AKA,Windancer,when we were on tour.Your father was a unique/essentric individual.He has had some rough times in his life....which is why we have stayed friends,and been close,to support and help him.I guess you know now he has found out you are looking for him.....and it has affected him deeply.He definitely would like to connect...You are the only blood relative he knows of,as he was adopted out as a small child,born to traveling gypsies,who could not raise him.He went through Vietnam,which affected him greatly.He joined the Dead family as a sense of community,and we were all a tight knit community....if you have not received the info for him yet please respond and we can connect you with him,My name is Lesly,hope we connect?

Probably a long shot in the dark :) I'm looking for a guy named Antonio from California who went to shows in the late 80s early 90s. We lost touch and I have always wondered what happened to you. We hung out a few times in Northern and Southern Cal, last few times in San Diego. If you ever find this drop me a line. I think you might remember me as bouncy. :D

If anyone knows her by golly, let her know that I could not hear her e-mail contact info that she shouted out to me, as it was too loud in the store! I NEED A MIRACLE!

Yeah you.....
You stole my brand new Dead shirt I just bought and pulled through my belt loop while I was in line at the gate at Alpine Valley in '85.
I felt a tug, turned around and you were long gone.
So not cool!

i was walking to the lodge singing "It Must Have Been The Roses" April 10 or 11, 2015. When i got to
the line "all i know is i could not leave her there", you said, "that's my favorite line in that song and a good voice".
i wish i would have got your info but, i was late to start a rim to rim hike. darn it. you, pretty lady, cross my
mind of regrets from time to time. perhaps it wasn't meant to be or, perhaps you are my destiny!!

Anyone know Ripper? Or his whereabouts? I'm an old friend from the early 90's who's looking to reconnect w/ Ripper. I grew up in NY and moved to San Francisco in 1991 with another Deadhead buddy. I met Ripper one morning laying in the bed of his Toyota pickup in the campgrounds at the Eugene shows. I was stumbling around one early morning after the show and started jawing w/ him. He asked me if I wanted a Guinness? It was about 8am. That was the beginning a wild fucking day and a long friendship. We partied the rest of that weekend and probably met back up when we returned to the Bay Area. From there he said, Let's drive to the shows in Vegas. Hell yeah! It was most likely early 1994. When that West Coast run ended he said, Let's drive cross country and go to the big Woodstock 94' concert. Hell yeah! We we're on a roll and having a blast. And by this time we had a big crew of people that we're hanging w/ us and seeing shows. So we drove up through Idaho and tripped out w/ some wild people, crossed the country and saw GD shows at The Palace in Michigan. Finally got to NY. We posted up on my folks porch and partied for days. My Mom loved Ripper. We gave her a pot plant that was in car. Somehow we managed to keep it alive and watered it while driving cross country. We did all the Giants Stadium shows. Then Ripper went up to Mass to meet his buddies, I stayed in NY and we both went to Woodstock 94' with our friends. Then we met back up in the Bay area later in early Fall. And we hung out all through the mid 90's. I would run into Ripper in San Rafael. Sitting outside New George's. And I once put an add on Craigslist asking if anyone knew where Ripper was? Someone replied that he went back to Mass. and he's involved in a big Grateful Dead fan club or something. Well, I've been out in CA for 30 years and I'm moving back to NY. It's been a good run out here but I need to get back to my roots. And I need to find Ripper so I can pick up where we left off. Or maybe a mellower version of that. Maybe you know him from the Bay Area? Maybe you know him from the Mass. Deadhead scene. Tell him Frankie from NY is looking for him. He'll know. He can contact me at frankcoviello1999@yahoo.com Ciao...

This is a little different than what's usually put here, but I'm looking for bluegrass musicians or people knowledgeable about bluegrass who would be willing to do a quick interview via zoom. I'm a student working on a project talking specifically about the banjo but also about bluegrass music generally, and as part of it I'm conducting a bunch of interviews with musicians, instrument builders, professors, and music lovers. The end product is gonna be a multimedia thing that will include some video stuff, some written stuff, some photography stuff, and maybe some other stuff who knows. If you'd be interested in doing an interview, know someone who would be interested, or have anything else you wanna tell/ask me about please feel free to PM me or comment on this
