    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.

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.
