    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

    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.

Having a little repetition problem this morning? Your bug come back:-) Was at Feria-got home at about 7 this morning. Was a great experience, though a pain in the butt to get home. Were in 3 casetas-one quite traditional, one just plain boring, and one where we spent many hours, an "open" one belonging to a group for open-mindedness and toleration, where the music was not Sevillianas, but a mix of ancient Spanish pop classics, and a whole bunch of more alternative Sevillians. Learned the basics of dancing Sevillianas, and after enough manzanilla-could even imitate the more talented halfway decently. Was a great night, but think was enough Sevillian Feria for me. Will go to one in Asuna in May with a co-worker, which is supposed to be smaller. Is supposed to be alot more intimate-so will see. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

The wife and I just finished watching Kingpin. I'd fortgotten how funny it is. Anyway, in the course of the film, there comes a point where one of the characters has to roll a third time in the tenth frame. I explained to my wife under what circumstance the phenomenon of the Third Roll In The Tenth Frame occurs and its many and varied possibilitlies (alright, there aren't THAT many). When I finished my discourse she said to me "Wow, I'm glad I don't know that much about bowling." Think it's time to watch The Big Lebowski again ;-).

I happened to look at the page that shows the topics all listed. Would you believe that this topic was created 4 days and 20 hours ago??? It's, it's, it's a miracle I tell ya!!! No, wait, it's Kismet. Well I must take advantage of this fortuitous moment in time. Please excuse me for a bit...

I had the sirius channel on in the background this afternoon. The topic was something like: 'Your memories of Winterland'. Towards the end of the show they interview a guy from the Bay Area named "Buddy". It's going to be rebroadcast on Tuesday at 5PM ET... Could it be? LOL

Back many, MANY moons ago when I worked the offshore oil rigs, I met an ancient gentleman who made no bones about his fondness for all things alcoholic (think he used the 7 days offshore to clean up). He told me the only thing he would never drink again was tequila. When I asked why he just smiled and said, "Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!". . . Words of wisdom.

Instead, mix it with Nellie and Joe's key lime juice and lime infused simple syrup in equal parts. Also add 1/3 part Cointreau (or triple sec if you must) and shake with ice. Salt to taste if desired. Yummy! I once whipped up a couple of gallons of this for a party of about 40. It actually lasted almost an hour... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Tequila was awesome, (when I used to drink alcohol). I never had any problems while consuming that stuff but unfortunately, other folks I was around, while under it's influence, seemed to think differently. I came to the conclusion (once I came "to") that this drug shuts off one's brain but isn't nearly as effective doing the same on that person's mouth and feet. Apparently many different law enforcement agencies have confirmed this effect on myself and dispite my better judgement, I stopped (if I make it that long, it will be 19 yrs. on Aug. 13th, not that that really matters to me anymore - I do love that the day was the 13th). I still do milk and cookies, though. "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

Ya well said, the only thing worse than drinking Ta-Kill-ya is throwing it up!!! Used to drink at a Kiwi Bar here in Shanghai and the Tequila shots were free!! Man i have woken up on buses, parks (with Chinese doing Tai-Chi around me), massage parlers, you name it. So with that being said, i do not drink Tequila anymore. This was a while back!! The comment above: “Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!” Aint that right!! Good one.
