    UK deadhead looking for friends from way back:1989 thru 1991 !!
    Hey folks,I'm a british deadhead who recently got married and moved back to the states after 20 years(now living in Tennessee). Between 1989 and 1991 I was on and off tour and attended around 75 shows in total. I had some good friends back then and I'm wondering if any of them are still deadheads or linked up to the scene in some way? Its been ages but if anyone knows these folks please let them know I'm on this forum and ask them to get in touch. 'Greg' lived in Washington state and drove a black chevy van to every show in 1991. He had long black hair and beard. He said the Deadheads was his only family because sadly he'd lost his real family in a car crash. We toured together in the Fall tour 1991 and drove from the West coast to 3 shows in Ohio, and then the 9 night run at MSG in NYC. Those were my last shows and I flew back to England after that. In Spring tour 1989 I knew this cool couple Greg and Christine; we toured the last half of Spring tour 1989 starting in Cleveland, and going to Milwaukee, Chicago, Minnesota Stpaul. We then travelled back to the West coast, spending a week at Cougar Hot springs on route, and finally ending up in Santa Cruz, where we lived all summer. Actually theres a whole bunch of folks I knew back from tour in 1989, some of which I'm still in touch with, but mostly lost contact with: Chris and TJ (the hitchhikers to Atlanta), Chris and Amy, Chet, Jim (who drove us all the way in his van)? Anybody still in touch with these folk from '89? Suuch a long shot, but hey, just though it would be interesting to post... Lookin' forward to some 2010 shows... Jules the astrologer

    So who did I meet at Further on 9/19/09?
    I was the guy in the floor level crip section in a purple wheelchair. Names I remember: Wayne and Judy. Wayne saw his first show in '68, Judy around '90 like me. Then there was the bald dude with the iPhone I talked to of and on through most of the show, and then there was the usher who volunteered for the shows who I had a really nice chat with and who basically danced the night away as far as I could tell - and did her "job" at the same time. Neat! Oh, and the guy in the white shirt I chatted with on BART on the way to the show. Anyway, I had a great time and you all were beautiful. :) Please contact me if you are comfortable doing so, even if I didn't mention you.

    looking for David Cramer
    Hey Now Id like to find my old tapper friend. Last seen in the 80s. We use to tape shows in the early 80s. David lived in SF and we where the first to ever record Digital Dead using PCM decoder and a beta deck to store on. I have not seen David in many years and would enjoy finding him. If you or anyone you know might have been a taper in the 80s they would for sure have known David and I. Thanks Ron

At the beginning of 2007 I got a really bad case of food poisoning and ended up being misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic. I was subsequently held in psychiatric facilities for 1.5 months before being released without any explanation as to how they supposed my "mental illness" was "all better". I've spoken with an attorney in my homestate of Pennsylvania (a deadhead) and I've been told that I have a legitimate case, but need to find family to represent me. I'm grateful for any help anyone can offer! Thanks and keep on truckin'! Joseph http://www.photonicbeing.org

I am also looking for heads in my area.. Big Rapids, MI - Sister Earth you are not too far :)I know there must be some in town, though because there is a telephone connection box with like 20 dead stickers on it in town. Would love to know of anyone around who even listens to the dead, let alone really likes them - I seem to be alone in this small town. I know we are everwhere, but is everyone who likes the dead in hiding in this tiny town :) Email me --> esawicki@yahoo.com

It's been awhile since i was in action, but it would be nice to hear from old friends I knew on tour... You see it's a Black Peter issue, as I am battling cancer.. I am about 3 hours from san fran, and I feel like the family can help me heal, and deal with this issue. And new friends are always welcome to chat with me, after all that's what family is all about.

I am looking for Jason Pizzo...he is the person that originally got me into the Dead...I guess I have to be grateful for that any way. We split up very unfriendly like and I just would like to apologize for my part in it....although not for the left hook in P'town...he kinda had that comin'.... I know he is in Vermont, probably Burlington...and I know that he just lost about everything he owned in a fire where he was living, as I saw it in the local paper from up there....but I dont know where he is now... If anyone up there reads this, and knows him, please tell him to e-mail me @ patriot.gyrl65@yahoo.com...... Tell him I said to get himself a can o' peas....

I wrote you years back re: my brother being one of the first to subscribe to being a "deadhead', my first concert on his wedding day being the wall of sound debut march 23 1974 at the cow palace, and your effort's always meant so much to me and you are someone I will always treasure in my mind as a warm and beautiful person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for this long strange trip that it has been. love and peace,pk

You know who you are! I used to chat with you on 40M and and repeaters up and down the coast. You used to come up to my car because it had call plates and antennas all over it (at the time in 88-90 had a white nissan sentra with my N6PPS plates) and we would talk shows and eqpt. while getting strange. We would also find ourselves in mid chat around the soundboard during shows. We would run into each other from LA shows to SF/Sac shows. I also met a few of you in Phoenix and Vegas before/during/after shows.... Where are you? PM me and we'll sched on HF or IRLP/Echolink Peace DE KJ7XJ CN87tf

Hey Annie! You were an unemployed architect from Connecticut who lived in the city. You made hippie beaded necklaces for a living and volunteered at the Warfield. We met on a plane from SFO --> PHX and rented a car together for the shows in Dec. 1992. You lived in an apartment near Delores Park and your neighbor was in the SF symphony or ballet or something? Remember the "Peace March" against the 1st Iraqi War from Delores Park to City Hall? Remember the morning of the march the Urban Foresters were planting trees along the street on your block? I think their goal was to plant ten thousand trees throughout the city. Remember during the march, the kid who climbed up the light post and yelled at the crowd? "What do we want?!!!" The crowd's response, "TO END THE WAR!" When do we want it?!! "RIGHT NOW!" We danced to the music on the square at City Hall after the march. I think I was the only one wearing slacks and a button-down shirt. Hey Annie! Where are you?

Hey That Nice Hippy Guy! I'm not so far away, and I've been thinking about going to southern Missouri. I live in Little Rock - only four hours to the Missouri line. Ha! Ever been to SchwaggStock? I haven't, but I love The Schwagg, and I've always wanted to go, and it's somewhere in southern Missouri. I'm looking for any kindred spirits in the central Arkansas area. I know there are some deadheads around here somewhere because we have seen one another at Juanita's. I just don't know you! Drop me a line anytime! Peace and Grateful Love Always
