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

    Loving the Dead
    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.

    The dead is a personal thing and has been a part of my life for over 30 years that dosnt make me better than some one who got on the bus last week or more deserving, we are hearing the same thing yes.I despair gonz never thought id say the words deadhead and snobbery in the same sentence but there you go.Lifes for learning.

    it may be just that the dead is a very personal thing with people but the 'hipper than thou' attitude - typified by the words "old school" - is definitely out there turning off a lot of otherwise friendly people. say a prayer for the tragically hip (not the band), they really need it...

    My 19 year old son has been to 15 or 20 shows, from age 6 months to 4 years, but doesn't remember much before the "Furthur Festivals" after Jerry's passing. But he proudly wears my tie-dyes and has some of his own Dead tapes and cd's....where does that put him?....ain't no wannabe's here...we all love the music, or we wouldn't frequent this website, but you are right, ripple, there do seem to be some snobs and I won't point fingers cuz some folks just take things the way they want to take them and they may or may not be delusional...hmmm.....do the spammers count?

    so i understand
    So the story so far as i understand it........ Lady gaga assisted by her army of sad,drunken flying monkeys has stolen the chat room and sold it to Donald tramp am i correct in thinking this? I have to pick up on what dancingsinginggirl has posted what we have here is deadhead snobbery and i am sad to see it i am in wales in the uk and have been to 3 shows does this mean no chatroom for me cos i havent seen them 50 times.Is it not our duty to pass this on to the young that are interested enough to look in here or does it stop when we stop.If you dont like some one DONT TALK TO THEM simple as. Teach your children well.

    the emotional support and caring and sharing going on in the chatroom. Reminds us that we are family and not alone. And I 2nd Mona and Johnman-sharing with the ones who are too young to have seen shows, or too broke, or on the wrong continent, is a good thing! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

I've reported the problem to Jonathan, though of course it's Sunday. As to being able to log on from one computer but not another, I'm as mystified as you are. What happens when you try to log on?

... a national holiday! Why not, give me one really good reason to not have April 20th as a regular holiday. I'd certainly vote for it. Let's start a petition drive...

I read in the online Santa Rosa, California Press Democrat that Mickey Hart's Mass Drums played at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park today. There is an interview with him in the paper. It was part of the Green Apple Festival and free valet bike parking was supplied.Listen for the drums to continue thru the night.

Well, I type in my username & password etc.. the screen flashes (to what should say log in successful ) & there's my name under online users, but login/sign up is also showing. I can't post a comment or the like. Then I try a few more times, just to see inkowurider about 50 times, so I give up in defeat, as I'm seeing posts that I'm all over the place... I'm now sure it has nothing to do with deadnet, which is good. Hells Bells!

Just wanna put that out there. Although not officially part of "the scene" as it were.......a great musician and wonderful human being has left us. Let's all keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

Marye I found this.... Keyboardist Danny Federici, who for four decades played alongside rock star Bruce Springsteen as part of the E Street Band and helped define his rollicking sound, has died of melanoma. He was 58. RIP Danny

I tried getting to the chat room, too. I had as much luck as Buddy. What's going on? Is the chat room in the process of being moved back to its previous location, or has something gone kerblooey with it...again?

The new chat room is not functioning at this point in time. To put it in layman's terms: it's FUBAR. Or you could say it's broken, it's malfunctioning, it's not happenin', it's ruined, it's busted, it's kaput, it's dead in a NOT grateful way, it's conked out, it's crashed, it's quit workin', it's not usable...Capiche?

I think the GD have done pretty much the same thing, just ask the Rhino company... And I believe they did it again a couple of days ago... I have a feeling there's a nice sized tax write-off somewhere in all that press conference hoopla... YMMV

I thought it would be very cool ... well never mind it was cool a few minutes ago. So with the chatroom down on the staging site, does this mean it is 'bout to reappear here on the regular site. Carefull G-mom, the junk you sell could end up on Antique Road and appraised at a cool million, or not.
