    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    I miss the chatroom as much as anybody...rarf!!!
    but there were times when people ...again, I won't point fingers...would be there just to complain about NOT getting on stage, or bragging in a sideways sort of manner about how many shows they had seen this year, or "so and so is out to get me", or "I spent X amount of dollars on tickets this year". That kinda stuff chased alotta people outa the chatroom. so, I'm hoping that when and if we get the chat back that crap will stay HOME or SOMEwhere else at least. wagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwag....(waving paw) Time to look for a cooookie.....

    for DSG
    Hey DSG if you wan't to talk about the music, talk about the music. You want to post reviews and setliests I would love to see them on the Furthur forum. If you want a new forum to post them ask Marye. Nobody should put you down for your passion and your head full of dead, but lots of us dont have the chance to see so many shows as you and, well you know, if we weren't there its a little hard for us to have a conversation about it. So we talk about other stuff too..and come on DSG...don't pretend you dont talk about other stuff in the Chatroom too :-) Its a drag when people get nasty and personal in the chatroom for sure and it gets me down too. But most folks are kind and if they step over the line are quick to apologise. I for one will be glad to meet up with you there when it is back on line and don't forget Donna Jean too!

    the point is
    that the chatroom has always been a non-topic restricted conversational flow (relationship building just like ripple said) since day one. And it will always be like that. Music AND whatever comes to mind. Think of it like a conversational jam! Conversations flows and twists JUST like the music does. If our "approved topics" lists are restricted, it will stifle the room. ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

    hearing what you say dancingsinginggirl
    A large part of this grateful dead thing is family of course the main thing is music but family talk about other things,their lifes,the weather,their children,its all a part of relationship building.Im pretty sure theres threads in here about further and the rythm devils if not you start them sister i will be more than happy too get involved in anything dead related.

    the point is talkin bout- MUSIC baby
    I guess the point was, misunderstood? or taken out of context. ? Not about whether or not you experienced the Grateful Dead OR HOW MANY SHOWS YOU WENT TO, but is about the folks that came into the Chatroom ( this IS The Grateful Dead Website) just to play ' chat games', and mess with people, and hack - day after day and they never would talk about the music. ! .thats all. c'mon... I think you know what I meant... either way, there's 4 original Grateful Dead members out there touring- right now, making some historic music, sure would love to be able to chat about that ! but -we are getting by -with texts and the forums and FB pages :)) we need a place here to post the current show reviews and current set lists. OO play on- KEEP LISTENING

    doesn't mean that we aren't heads if we don't discuss them 24/7 in the chatroom either. Everybody's got their own story to tell. The music is the common thread, but we are all unique-Thank Goodness!!! Methinks that folks with no life of their own are more inclined to resort to Deadhead snobbery.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

Shutting down the chat room sure has livened up the forums. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I'll always take the book over the movie bc then you can envision the story yourself. What really gets me is when they change things for the movie. I understand for time etc... but important parts. Man, that burns me up! Not saying Hannibal is on the same scale as Cuckoo, but when they made Hannibal they totally changed the ending. ?!? Oh well, that's Hollywood for you. :-)

Yes, when I was very small . The main difference I remember is The Emerald City.Originally, the glasses with green lenses made the city emerald. I do love the OZ movie & Return to Oz for that matter. In Return they send Dorothy to the nut house. Ever seen The Never Ending Story? LOVE that movie. Never read the book, there's probably one out there though. I must watch Cuckoo this weekend! Thanks Kindly. Have a nice evening. Maybe the chatroom will be ready tomorrow. PEACE

aren't most books better? Even sequels fall short in almost every case. Kesey's is a classic. Love the Big Indian myself. Our old school nurse WAS nurse Ratchet...a scary chick indeed. Warm and heading up to 72 degrees tomorrow in Philly! Have a good evening to all. (even JC) Ami

If you're going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some protest banners in your hair If you're going to San Francisco You're gonna meet some angry people there For those who come to San Francisco Summertime will be a Chinese olympic protest there In the streets of San Francisco Pissed people with signs in the air All across the nation such a strange vibration People in motion There's a whole generation with a new explanation People in motion people in motion For those who come to San Francisco Be sure to wear some emblems on your shirt If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a demonstration there If you come to San Francisco Summertime will be a rally there
