    Dead memorabilia goes to UCSC
    A very special thanks goes out to Eileen Law for her years of saving all the Dead memorabilia. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/23/DDML109ACN… Here is the link to the story if you can't wait until tomorrow. Disregard the post by Even on the death of BK.

    UC Santa Cruz slated to get
    UC Santa Cruz slated to get archives of Grateful Dead 04/23/2008 7:06 PM, AP Dancing bears, meet the Banana Slugs. The surviving members of the Grateful Dead are turning over the rock band's archives to the University of California at Santa Cruz. The archive will hold the band's correspondence and other memorabilia, but not its recordings, longtime band spokesman Dennis McNally said Wednesday. Ex-Dead guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Mickey Hart will announce a partnership with the university Thursday. The announcement will take place at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, where many of the band's legendary shows were held. A spokesman for UC Santa Cruz would not comment on the details of the deal ahead of Thursday's planned announcement. ___

I won't hold my breath waiting for a refund of my contribution to the Terrapin Station project, but after this announcement they should lower the price of the album by ten bucks, at least.

"All that material, which Law explained would have found a home in the Dead's once-planned Terrapin Station museum, will be housed at the McHenry library at Santa Cruz." RELIX Magazine There is your answer. I haven't seen this comment in any other article regarding that UCSC deal. It's been more than a week. Don't bet on them posting the MP-3 of that press conference here either...
