    Looking for a VW ad from Rolling Stone magazine
    Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Looking to purchase a copy of the VW ad from Rolling Stone shortly after Jerry died. I believe it was a VW bus and the copy said something to the effect of, “thanks for the long strange trip.” Thanks in advance for your help.

    Not True Gross Exageration
    I'm sorry, but everyone has to be very careful these days on the internet...so many distorted fact, so many gross exagertions. It's actually $600K over a period of 2 1/2 years that goes towards the library. Here's an article http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/10/02/your-tax-dollars-now-being-used-f… This day and age people write stuff all the time that really isn't true. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

    taxes paying for archive
    A recent op-ed piece by Brian Riedl (Heritage Foundation) alleges that $600 million taxpayer dollars are going toward the Grateful Dead Archives. While I'd gladly contribute $2 bucks (my share) towards this endeavor, I wonder if there is truth to this?Peace, Fred

    OY!
    I am waiting on someone and figured I'd kill some time trying a bit more. ---I kinda ran on here, have that tendency, so maybe just scan it and I'll try one last thing later and make a more concise summery report--- There seems to be no pattern, hit & miss. One image I never get the scaled pic even at 72 dpi. It is the largest physical size pic as it is an 8x10 photo scanned in, cropped and resized to the 600x400 limit but as you lower the res the physical size, if printed, grows and maybe that has something to do with it??? But shouldn't since it is only 63 KB. When I upload the one and only that has worked so far it worked again & I see the scaled pic. Try another and maybe, the one again and no, yet another n maybe... I don't freakin' get it. I did one I don't care about at 72 dpi and saw the scaled image after upload, hit preview, did not see it other than the scaled, clicked submit and it was there like it is supposed to be. Tried doing what I did for the first and only successful one so far and it did not work this time with another pic at 200, 100 or 72 dpi, same pic at the different res. I deleted that one, tried a few others with clicking on submit, 72 & 100 dpi and they only gave me the scaled image after uploading and nothing when I submitted, I deleted those too. I just did one with uploading the very first taper's tic again, upload, saw scale, upped a different one also at 200 dpi, saw scaled, submitted and I see it like it is supposed to work. I stopped since it appeared to work, left that window open and came back here. Still have not learned anything really definitive other than possibly flaky system never showing in preview, sometimes showing the scaled image after uploading and sometimes showing correctly after submitting. I'm thinking if it does not show after submitting it did not make it to your queue, can't be published and it does not matter if it was the first normal attempt of my goofiness. (Addition after “ending” before posting of course is I think maybe an extra long file name does not work, one had 43 characters and no go, and that ‘ in the file name is ok but not & because when I changed & to _ and shortened as I say somewhere here it seemed to work. Also I tried adding “&” in an already short file name and it would not show the scaled image after uploading before submitting nor show after submitting). Before posting this I tried to do another one and now no matter what no scaled image after uploading, tried a few over and over but never submitted. Kept at it cause nothing else to do right, hello buddy where are you LOL, and going around trying to up 4 different ones, including the one that has worked, one that appears to have worked and 2 others and never had one pic show in scaled and when I got one of the 2 I'm trying to submit to show scaled after uploading I submitted but then it did not show so I deleted it. Sorry this got a bit long going round in circles adding more notes as I went trying to figure this out without success while still waiting on someone after WOW I did not realize it has been 2.5 hours since your post above Mary. Went to the topics page of this part of the forum to see since it shows time since last post. It would be nice if there were timestamps next to the posting date. This is getting nerve racking and this sort of thing is part of my job. I am really thinking there is something flaky with the system as that would explain why the same pic would work one time, not another, then yes... and also possibly partly why the no image in the queue is not uncommon. I stepped away from this for a bit and tried the one that never showed a scaled image after uploading. It was a kinda long file name although I have seen longer here before but that could be before image limits, pixels, res & size might have changed. I shortened and still no go. It had an "&" in the name and when I change it to a hyphen I saw the scaled image. Could be coincidence but I tried replacing the & with _ in the long file name and no go but first try with _ instead of & with shorter file name and I saw the scaled image. It did not preview, no surprise there since none have yet, and it did not show when I submitted. I tried the first "trick" from a few days ago and no then around an around I went again and now I see it after submitting. Ooops this grew some more while experimenting, getting a little frustrated but persevering and noting since brain death occurred a little bit ago and I'm not totally remembering all I did so I'll refer back to this later. Hopefully the two I think worked today, one right after your last post Mary and the 2nd just a little bit ago, that I see correctly after submitting is in the queue and you only see those 2 not all the other attempts that I deleted too. Ahh finally the call I've been waiting for, time to chill and officially start the weekend :)

    Hmmm
    I submitted a new one at 200 dpi, saw the scaled image after clicking on upload, still did not see the full image when I hit preview and still nope after submitting. I wonder if there is a problem with the system today since what I did the first time does not appear to be working this time, resubmit with orig open and then saw full image under view even though it was not on my account homepage yet until the image is approved. Oh well try again next week, have a good weekend.

It was initially on the "Skeleton and Roses" (or Skullfuck) live album. (I believe) and then you can find it on the Dicks Picks Album(s) # 3, 7, 12, 13, 14, 18, 24, 25, 29, 31, 33, and 33 that you can order from the store here. It is one of my favorites and heard the Dead first play that on 616-74 and loved it ever since. It signals classic and emotional dead jams and often is at the heart of wonderful second sets. That is what I know. Get one of those and you will never regret it.

Have been having alot of trouble obtaining a copy of Dicks Picks #25 (New Haven/Springfield 1978). I tried to order it through a record store who has most of the others on their shelves, to no avail. Tried a few spots on the internet & came up empty also. Any suggestions? Please post an answer or send an email. Many Thanks, Patrick

It's true, this is set up so only mods (i.e. izzie and I ) can start topics. However, if you send either of us a message about a topic you'd like started, we're usually pretty responsive. Maybe a little slower with the holidays, but just let us know and we'll do our best. Thanks!

Is quite the mystery man. I have tried to find out some info about him. I just know that he is an awesome artist that does alot of posters for concerts and feativals.. Even his site Terripan Productions says it has his bio but when you click into it, it just shows a picture of a snake. Yep good question!! Peace :)

be very careful with this. There are a lot of bootleg GD DVDs flying around Europe which are in fact hacked together compilations from various VFTV and other releases. I pointed this out to Rhino a while back and they all disappeared from Amazon soon after. The set list for this one (from Play.com) makes me suspect it is something similar...... # Bertha # Little Red Rooster # When Push Comes To Shove # Bird Song # The Music Never Stopped # Hell In A Bucket \ Happy New Year # Uncle John's Band # Lady With A Fan # Terrapin Station # The Other One # Wharf Rat # Throwing Stones # Not Fade Away # Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Not sure really what the value is in adding this info to the posts. Why is it important? You can look it up if you want to. If the techies have that much time on their hands please ask them to fix the system to DISPLAY THE LAST POST FIRST. Now that would be useful!
