Yes, Fair Thee Well, CC Joe

Happy trails, Joe!
Come back to us safe and sound with stories to tell.
Thanks Lossless....
....unfortunately I can't take credit for that quote, which comes from my literary hero, Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". One day though, I do hope to be a Doctor of Journalism.

electric mayhem
ok so one of my clients just came in with a dr teeth and the electric mayhem tour 79 tee shirt. i really liked it. things like that make my day. i seemed to recall the rumor that the bus used for dr teeth and the electric mayhem was on dead tour. im not sure if that rumor can ever be verified, but i have a foggy memory seeing the bus on tour. anyways, cool t shirt.
concert downloads
There are some good websites in cyberspace that offer excellent concerts. I am somewhat computer illiterate. My sister and brother in law sent me great live pre-recorded downloads for my 50th birthday. Can someone send me any live shows from the Fillmore. All Dead music is great, but as anyone who has been to a live show understands that's where the music never stops. My e mail is rvmswii@hotmail.com.

You'll probably have better luck posting in the Tape Traders topic.

Hey now head friends
I'm back, although I never really went away. I was kind of sidelined most of July working through a little bout with Lyme disease. A lot of sleeping and disorientation. I was checking in and reading posts and managed to type out a couple of short posts but that was about it. I was really just getting dialed in from the old "construction" site. It feels great to be up and about with some energy to participate and just in time to celebratethe birthday of one Jerry Garcia. I'm cuing up JG ten of diamonds first solo as we speak and look forward to jamming some more with all and making more friends going furthur!*!
"The sun was sreaming hey you"
hey, Marshun
glad you're feeling better. That Lyme Disease is no joke!
Gathering of The Vibes, 2007
Terrapin Family should be given a high-five "FukenGruven" for their efforts to promote a 4 day musical festival that was huge, but intimate.
A couple of minor points for the organizers:
Limit the crowd to about 5000 less for that venue.
Raise VIP prices! Not "the people's" tix
More Port-A-Potties everywhere!
Better organization - all organizers on the same page
Said that... It was definitely a psychedelic spectacle worthy of the 35-50 age crowd of white, upper-middle heads with old-style hippie vales.
Sorry it's been awhile
what have i missed????..........

"It Must've Been The Jurassic Blueberries" Pie
1 cup Blueberry Pie filling
1 cup Cherry Pie filling
1 10" Pie shell
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 420...umm I mean 350 degrees. Beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add sugar and eggs, alternating, beating well after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla and cream, and beat until just combined. Pour the filling in the crust. Add the fillings, in bits across the pie, and stir with the handle of a wooden spoon until it is just swirled. Cover the crust edge of the pie with aluminum foil, and bake in the middle of the oven for 35 to 45 minutes..pie will be not be set in the center, but will set as it chills. Cool in the Fridge for at least 8 hours (overnight is best) and ENJOY!
Peace on Earth thru cultivation of massive JurassicBlueberries,"Thank you Jerry" Smile, Smile, Smile ^^^;-)

CC Joe on Plane...
CC Joe looks anixously from the window while at 30,000 + feet, nervously raising and lowering the shade. Finally he lowers the shade one last time, then turns to the other passengers in his isle. His face is dotted with sweat dropplets and pale when he says, "There's someone on the wing.........some..........THING!"We'll "see" you when you get back, CC Joe.
Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?
thanks folks, nice to be
thanks folks, nice to be back for a few days...
actually -- got really lucky on the last few flights, between Tokyo and Bangkok (about a 7 hour flight) there were rows of seats empty so we could lay down and crash. (I guess I should say 'sleep' since it might be bad luck to say "crash") and on the flight from Bangkok to Tokyo the plane was really crowded and got that 'MIRACLE' ticket with free business class upgrades!! there is nothing like having a couple of loopy looking heads mixing with the suits in first cabin! plenty of sideways glances from the other passengers settling into the seats... of course the flight out of Bangkok leaves at 6am, so you gotta check in by 4am leaving the hotel downtown at 3am... didn't go to sleep at all the night before, up partying all night, and so so so very happy when the gate agent handed over the boarding pass which said Row 2 instead of Row 29!
kind of reminded me of that show way back, when I was standing in the rain holding one finger up, and a lovely lass looks into my eyes, smiles, reaches into her pack, palming me the miracle, and simply saying 'have a great show'
next week is the whopper 12 hour flight to Mo-Town, so with a bit of luck I will get a row to lay down or an upgrade! keep those good vibes coming!
love and peace!
MISS YA CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear some stories from the road!!!!!

say hi to the dude at the Taj Mahal ...
... if you run into him again...
not going to India...
we are not going to India on this trip, but will do if I ever see him again.
Thanks, grayfolded,
but no 'dead' related tales to tell yet. no shows. unfortunately this road that we are on is not a "tour" but rather a journey.
(I am still trying to figure out the difference between tour and journey myself)
I will be back in a few days when I have some time to kill at airports in between planes again.
do I win the award for getting the most Frequent Flyer miles??
I happen to be a NorthWorst "Gold Member"
(Beavis and Butthead voice: "uhhh, huh huh huh, he said Gold Member, uhh huh huh huh"
so I get double miles! probably in the neighborhood of 60,000 miles including all of the bonus miles! and that, is a pretty respectable neighborhood.
I've been kicking ass playing pool, too. Plenty of Ex-Pat busines type suits in Bangkok are gonna have to put in a few more hours wearing a suit and tie for the MAN after I gave them a good fleecing on the tables.
off to Za-Zen out for a while.
peace.
I know your not on tour CC....
but I still want stories....Thats what I meant....

or is it, "good grief, Charlie Brown" ??!!
damn, this forum has grown exponentially as well as in bounds and leaps. I will never be able to catch up.
I feel like Charlie Brown (or was it Linus??) waiting until the last night of summer vacation to read the book he had to read and write a book report on it.
even those two words, "Book Report" send shivers of fear and paranoia down my spine...

The Honeymooners
"One of these days, Alice, straight to the moon!"
"From day to day, just lettin' it ride,
You get so far away from how it feels inside,
You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall,
But the day may come when you can't feel at all."
I met "The Dude"
...as I was still by the side of the road, bound to my load...
I met "The Dude"
He looked, walked, and talked like "The Dude" The Big Lebowski dude, I mean, of course. We rapped about this and that for a few hours, shared a meal together of ka pow gai and pa ki mau and a few other tasty delectables... turns out, this "Dude" saw the Warlocks back in 64, or so the story went. Even at Altamont, he was witness to what many have only seen on film.
We shot a game of pool, I taking the game with only the 8 left on the table.
When I mentioned, after great pause; that he was "The Dude" in my eyes, and when I mentioned the film the Big Lebowski, he rose from his seat, quietly excused himself, and faded into the mystic.
An experience I shant easily forget.
Si, si, Jose
I had one of those "it just dawned on me" moments myself. I teach at a girls private school and I have, of course, a homeroom. There's a girl named Jasmine who rises somewhere around 6' 2" or so, is big-boned, and never says a word. She has intrigued me from the get-go and I just figured out why. I was gazing outside my classroom when she happened to pass by and - Bing! - it hit me. Big Chief from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest"! Picture him making those huge strides with totally upright posture.
I shant see Jasmine the in the same way.

who knows?
everyone knows what "French" kissing is...
who knows what "Australian" kissing is?
wild guesses welcome.
wild guesses
You asked for it, Joe. My wild guesses are:1.) something involving sheep (whoops, that would be New Zealand)
2.) bashing heads together, rugby style
3.) some physical contortion where both parties are upside down, as Australia is in the other half of the world from some of us
am out of wild guesses for the moment, but will add more should they occur to me

think passion
think "passion" in trying to guess what an Australian kiss, as we all know a French kiss is more passionate than a regular kiss...
so please, in defference to not abusing animals, forget about the sheep! ( -: LOL
the question remains:
What is an Australian kiss?
Have another guess then
But do I dare be so crass as to write it? HmmmHow can I put this delicately-similar to a "French kiss" but in the other half of the body perhaps (for one party at least)?
