Monsoon in ther Himalaya

It is hot, and then it rain, and then there are rainbows. In an endless pattern as old as the earth itself and now being changed by global warming. Namste, all!

No summits, but thanks for reading Marye

You know me, I'll give a bit of travelogue to anybody who cares to read a serial. In this here concrete jungle called Kathmandu the Hindus rule the Mongolians. The Mongolians have been making a revolution since around 1990. They got rid of the King and monarchy in 2006 and Maoists (Maoists! Can you believe it?) came to power a few years after. The mainline democrat and republican establishment Hindu parties and the government bureaucracy (composed of 90% Hindus) went into total noncooperation. The mood is grim here. The old Maoist government was finally toppled by changing the Constitution, which hasn't even been written yet. The Chief Supreme Court Justice now runs an interim government until new elections can be held, which a large minority don't see as fair. The US and other European countries, of course, want elections. Including the Carter Centre who wants to monitor them for fairness. Fairness? In a place where most of the people are illiterate and there are hardly any roads in most of the country. People can't even register to vote. This morning I woke up in a room where a young man had left his country to pursue his engineering degree. His parents had to get him out because he was part of the revolution. Next to a picture of him on the wall was a screened drawing of Che Guevara. Che! Goodnight Che! Good morning Che! The Mongolian Nepali descent people here are like niggers in America. They will not stop until they have equal rights, resources and representation. And I don't blame them.

That's Really Where I'm Going To!

Ka-ka-ka-ka-Kathmandu! ...as the old song goes. It's monsoon, the mood is grim in this city of the concrete jungle (Jungle!) family to see, things to do. I would especially appreciate ANY deadheads here in the Valley to PM me. Lots of temples to see!

About Singapore

If you've been here before you know this is a beautifully landscaped city near the equator. The people are very jolly and the easily laughing sort. Singapore is extremely neat and orderly. But not in the German sense. You don't even jaywalk here. Litter or spitting on the sidewalk results in a few lashes with the cane fine. I ain't kidding. We're talking draconian!. Well, it's nice to see a place you've never been before.

happy new year

Happy New Year to you all!!!!! Looking forward to a new year as last year completely drained me, the good and the bad,(I had a hard run.) I still believe there is more positivity out there than negativity. I believe that there is more ying than yang, but somehow the ying and the yang always equal out to be about 50/50. I have lost more friends this year, but as you grow older this becomes a common occurrence. Unfortunately i am only 36 and my former circle of friends knew, and still know how to run it hard. I have learned more and covered more ground this year , but the year of the rabbit will not have run its course until mid January. I will miss my fellow soldiers of the night who have fallen in 2011 and in the former. Me I am still on the road and heading for another joint and have a cocktail in hand and the music is most likely too loud. Have been spending some time back in the States in south Florida on the water, any heads in the Fort Lauderdale area? Strange being back in the States after being away for so long, I was in Myanmar for the last week and I had a similar feeling, but there is no place like home. Happy New Year!!!

If you're a Deadhead in Asia, here's your new clubhouse... Welcome, and make yourselves at home!

Good morning rockers!!!! As many of you may or may not know, I am a bit of a “1971 Dead fanatic”. I have taken on a slightly ambitious project, documenting all 1971 Dead shows, the end result of which I hope will combine numerous “facts/factoids” about shows with recollections of folks who actually attended Dead shows in 1971. In order to accomplish this, I need the help of the Dead fan community. ALL contributions will be properly and specifically credited. If you attended ANY shows in 1971 and have ANY recollections to share, PLEASE consider participating. Please PM me for details. While of course I’m happy to hear from anybody who attended “classic 71 shows” such as Port Chester, Fillmore East, Harding Theater, Felt Forum, etc., I’m particularly interested in hearing from folks who may have attended lesser known, “out of the way” shows, such as: 1/21/71 Davis 1/22/71 Lane Community College 3/5/71 Oakland 4/14/71 Bucknell 4/18/71 Cortland 6/21/71 Chateau d’Herouville 8/4/71 Terminal Island 10/19/71 Northrop Auditorium 11/11/71 Atlanta 11/17/71 Albuquerque In addition, if ANYBODY out there has “paper ephemera” related to 1971 shows, Please consider participating. I’m looking especially for: Newspaper/print media articles Show posters/handbills Ticket stubs Photographs Thanks in advance to all who participate and contribute! Rock on, Doc Gillespie

Kuala Lumpur

Greetings from KL. Four years in and as far as deadheads go feel like a stranger, there just an't any in this town who I've met. Live music scene is very quiet too, nothing like Jakarta or Beijing! If you're passing through or staying for a while PM me.

I'm Back

Wow, a thread for Asian people... I'm from India! :D

Bangkok

Somebody play Grateful dead 's songs

Searching for the sound

Well, it's been 7 years since I wrote this initial post looking for deadheads to hang with in Nagoya, Japan. While I've enjoyed venturing to such places as the Oshino Dead Festival near Mt Fuji in 2013, Yukotopia a few times( Hi Kuma) and the Happy Farm Music Festival near Nagano in 2016, I've been looking for someone I kind spend time with on weekends listening to tunes and exploring the area. Still hoping this can happen.

Dude, are you still in…

Dude, are you still in Nagoya? The whole current scene has turned me into even more of a recluse than I already was, but just so ya know, you ain't the only one. There are quite a few Japanese heads around this area, but it may not be so good for your visa status to get too close. :P

Mongolia

Any Deadheads in Mongolia?

Long-time Asia expat, recently relocated from China to Ulaanbaatar.

Would love to connect with some people here. Feel free to DM.

Tahoe Pranksters to Japan

Hello,

My name in Kenjiro and I am a deadhead skier and musician living in Lake Tahoe.

A group of local Lake Tahoe Deadhead skiers and snowboard riders are coming to Japan with our guitars this winter (February or March) with hopes of meeting other deadhead Skiers and Riders in Japan. We want to ski, ride and play Grateful Dead songs with Japanese skiers and riders.

If you or anyone in your group is interested in joining, we would warmly welcome you.

If you know anyone else interested or can help us with meeting other deadheads in Japan, we would be very grateful.

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you,
Kenjiro "Willy" Green
