    Hello from Tampa, looking to meet kindred spirits
    Hi everyone, I saw my first show in San Diego on 11/23/79. Seen about 75 shows total. I saw the 2 Dead shows in Chicago and the experience has left me a bit sad. The shows were pretty good but I realized that I have kind of let my life slip off track. Been so focused on career & family since Jerry died that I realize I've become a uptight old fart. We moved to Tampa from Chicago about 5 years ago and I have no friends down here to see live music with. I still haven't seen Uncle John's Band at Skippers which really bums me out. So I made myself a promise that I would try to make some friends down here that love the GD like I do. I'm a 48 year old guy with wife & kids and really have no idea on how to make friends over the net, but I figured here is a great place to try. Anybody near Tampa who is looking for a buddy to play guitar with or see live music with, shoot me a message! :-)

    TREATMENT OF THE DISABLED AT THE GORGE
    EXTREME DANGER RANTING INVOLVED...GORGE COMMENTS: WHILE THE SHOW WAS GREAT THE TREATMENT GIVEN TO THE DISABLED WAS TOTALLY LACKING; 1ST WE HAD TO SUFFER THE LONG WALK TO GET IN, 2ND WE HAD TO WAIT TO BE TAKEN DOWN INTO THE VENUE MOSTLY ONE AT A TIME IN GOLF CARTS AND IF YOU WERE REALLY LUCKY YOU GOT TO RIDE THE BUS THAT CAME EVERY HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SITUATION IS TOTALLY INTOLERABLE AND IS A VIOLATION OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITYS ACT!!!!!!!! THEY USED TO DO IT RIGHT AT THE GORGE, THE BUS CAME INTO THE HANDICAPPED PARKING AREA AND PICKED US UP, THEN SOME MONEY GRUBBER DECIDED IT TOOK TOO MUCH GAS TO FOLLOW A REASONABLE TACT AND ACTUALLY HELP THE DISABLED. THE GORGE IS NO LONGER DISABLED FRIENDLY AND SHOULD BE TOLD SO BY ALL OF US. YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WERE FORCED TO SUFFER SO SOME A$$ COULD ADD ANOTHER PENNY TO THE BOTTOM LINE. IF YOU WERE ALSO ONE OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THE SHABBY TREATMENT OF THE DISABLED AT THE GORGE LET ME KNOW, CAUSE I'M GONNA LET THEN KNOW HOW WE ALL FEEL ABOUT DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE DISABLED TO SAVE MONEY. AND IT WAS ONE OF THE STAFF SUPERVISORS WHO TOLD ME WHY THE COULDN'T PICK US UP IN THE LOT ANYMORE , IT WAS TO SAVE ON THE GAS USED BY THE BUS.

Searching for that young woman who I miracled into the show back in the 90's. Not much going on here just another late night thinking about the project ahead of me! Yawn. Where did all those people go? Well, I must be getting older. Time for some ZZZZZ's.

Yeah, I might have to make a internet show of photos the way things are going these days.

Hello! I’m the daughter of Perry Green. She passed when I was 5 so I’m trying to dig through her history in hopes of learning more about her. I’d assume she traveled throughout California shows in the late 70s- early 80s. She was beautiful, kind and had a great laugh :)

We connected after I left FL. I posted a " missed connection" on CL and a friend told you about it. Since then, you have disappeared; someone told you to "break ties with your past" Well, I disagree! ( for what that's worth.) I told you I think of you when I see Orion in the Eastern Sky. He rises in the winter when we met at the " Warf" where Crazy Fingers would play on Thursdays. I hope you or a friend sees this and asks you to reach out. I sure miss you.
sincerely
Ruddy

My lovely wife Sue worked for Emily K in Santa Barbara around 1980, and she had a coworker named Karen Mariott, who was from Ventura, Ca. We became friends with Karen and husband Bill, who lived in Ventura. I last saw Bill in Ojai in 1985.
They went to shows with the Beanie Copter Crew, in CalTrans orange.
Karen used to bake goodies for Harry Popick, who mixed stage monitors
We lost track of them many years ago, and hope to reconnect..

Hi! I am trying to find Marcus, the shakedown street vendor artist who creates the soft black Tshirts screen printing a white pirate stealie with swords on the front. I would like to support this artist by purchasing 4 shirts from him as I did not have the money while at the last two shows - in NY and in PA. Thank you so much!!!

Looking for an old friend from the early 80s's. His name was Skip, and attended many shows in that period, selling shirts and other things he made. He also had a store selling his dead shirts and other similar items in Queens, NY in 1983, when i knew him. Any one know who i am talking about and any idea if he is still with him and how to contact him?

It's been 30 years now since we last hitchhiked across across the land from sea to sea to sea over mountains across endless plains through National parks and forests through a desert or two north south east west whichever way the flip of a lucky quarter directed us to go . It's been 15 years or so since we last kicked around a hackysack somewhere near Dayton Ohio . You met and married your wife there and had started a family . We lost contact after that day . Never thought that as I drove away it would be the last time we would see or talk to each other. I tried to get in touch with you through Willie a couple years ago only to find that he had passed away ( my condolences he was a good friend and brother ) . I know this is a long shot since you have no presence anywhere on the net that I can find which is not a surprise considering where and how you were living and I assume still are . If by chance you should come across this message just know that your legend lives forever in memories with kind smiles . Peace be the journey and blessed be thy thumb . Hope you are well and that we will meet again if not in this lifetime then in the next .

It just makes me a bit sad that so many people are looking for folks that made an indelible impression on them. Do they find each other and reunite? Could they use this site to do that? I want to see a success story! Please! Here Comes Sunshine…!

We attended some shows together and parted ways, and lost each other for 19 years

We have lost each other again

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny!!!!! I know you!! I don't actually. I know of you because back somewhere between 95-98, I was in Santa Cruz when my friend Paul Rush rode his motorcycle all the way from Delaware to hopefully meet up with me. Unfortunately I had left to go back to PA three days before his arrival. We wrote many letters back and forth, and Paul wrote about you, and how you had helped him when he first got to Santa Cruz. I'm hoping you know of some way to reach him because somehow we lost touch and I've been looking for him for many many years. My name is Tarah Smith- aka Cordy. My email address is autodidact43@outlook.com

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!

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.

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!

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?
