so what are we looking at...as scholars and deadheads? a museum, a deadicated concert/museum venue?
a full release of all remastered shows in itunes style on dead.net?
come one, how can you say there is an announcement and NOT think everyone will think it is about a reunion...when it is probably about music releases or such...
that is cruel and unusual punishment and is unconstitutional according to the 8th amendment, so go ahead and just tell us now...ok?

Time for some debunking and clarifying
While not wanting to jump the claim of the people holding the press conference, it might be handy to deflect some speculation, allay some fears, etc:
1. There will be NO announcement of a tour, one-off-gig or reunion of any kind. This is not about an upcoming musical event.
2. There is NO immediate time-valued urgency here, as in "if I don't know about this, I'm gonna miss out on something big!"
3. The press conference concerns past history more than future events, but it will be an announcement that scholars and fans of GD history will welcome enthusiastically.
I will leave the rest for the announcers to announce.

GD Press release/conference
While most blog/posts are about re-uniting Bobby & Phil - I trust it is not BAD news about the health of any remaining members. Somebody speculated about further Vault releases, if that be the case then I will be able to upgrade my collection with some soundboards replacing those treasured AUD recordings I have been listening for many moons. Or maybe............
we will have to wait & see..................

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."

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...
