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

    marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    heads up folks
    Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished. We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment. Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE. I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are. I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc. Thank you. ME with the mod hat on

    the chat room should now be accessible through the convenient link on the left. It is running the new software. Please report any issues, and chat on!

Someone somewhere in here wrote about a vague memory of the dead being in a movie in the sixties. Well, their vague memory became my vague memory....a couple flashes of the dead in golden tones of light, Jerry's dark beard. I think it was called Petulia with Julie Christie and George C. Scott. I looked it up. Thanks for another "flash from the past" as they used to say on KDIA-AM, the soul of the bay out of Oakland who just kept pumping it out and keeping it real. Dancin' in the Streets

Does anyone know anything about plans to move the chat room back to the main site? Chats are a bit few and far between in the experimental room, since the number of participants is very limited. Looking forward to the change, so everyone who wants to can yak.

The Dead make a few appearances. One trippy scene in a club of them playing Viola Lee. Another where Julie Christie is being loaded into an ambulance. Jerry in the backround with, I believe, his captain trips hat on. Jerry pre-beard looking like on the cover of the first official album. Couple more plus some good scenes of SF. It used to run once or twice a year on tv. I would look every sunday in the tv guide section of the paper to see if it was playing that week. This was before cable so it wasnt to difficult to look up channels 2,4,5,7,9,11,13 and a few fuzzy UHF's. Havnt seen it in years now.

When I saw them play in Portland at the Crystal Ballroom at the end of January they played many of the same songs the Grateful Dead had played at the 1st show there 40 years ago, did the same thing the next night , repeated much of 2nd show. Did I really read that Bob was playing with Phil for two nights? Nice if that would happen once in a while. I know lots of foks would like to see the remaining four get together. I think it is pretty incredible that there are four bands out touring this year, seeing how this thing continues to eveolve and spawn new sounds.

Sometimes the perceived ghosts are more than they appear. Often they are users who are logged in but are "marked as away," such as me earlier today. There does still seem to be a trivial ghost issue remaining, but I have found that if there is at least one user logged in and there are no posts for about four minutes then any ID's that are actually ghosts will get cleaned up. Outside of that, Chat Room 2.0 (beta) seems pretty well behaved to me. Still have yet to find any evidence of someone being booted. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Chat room actually has a variation of this, the whisper function. Perhaps one day we'll even all have holographic projection monitors so users can have the plastic bubble appear around them when using it. Thinking about how to code that as I type... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

1st set - Workingmans2nd set - most of American Beauty enc: Attics and Truckin tonight's special guest(s): David Nelson and Teresa Williams *w/DN +w/TW The band was rockin from the first notes tonight. A full-tilt boogie. set 1: UJB - vox by JG and band *High Time - vox by DN *Dire Wolf - vox by JG *New Speedway - vox by JG *Cumberland - vox by band *Peter - vox by PL *Easy Wind - vox by JG and DN Casey Jones - vox by JG set 2: *Box - vox by PL *FOTD - vox by DN w/LC on fiddle and pedal steel Sugar Mag - vox by JG Operator - vox by PL Candyman - vox by JG *Ripple - vox by DN w/LC on mandolin Brokedown - vox by JG w/LC on fiddle +Till the Morning Comes - vox by TW enc: +Attics - vox by TW, PL and LC w/LC on guitar and no other instruments *Truckin - vox by JG and band It was all good tonight, folks. The first set was absolutely smoking with a hot, snaky Speedway and a sizzling, dizzying Cumberland. Vocals were breathtaking at times with just a few weak spots (Easy Wind). Phil sang as good as I've ever heard him and was impressive on Peter and Operator. In the second act, the whole set was a grin-inducing treat with a monster Sugar Mag, a tender Brokedown and perhaps the best version ever of Attics. Truckin was the perfect way to send us out the door.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

I emailed with Jonathan about this a bit; it seems to be a function of the servers in the company IT department having their clocks out of sync, but why this keeps happening remains a mystery. At the moment I'm finding the site essentially unusable as well and have multiple posts a go go. On the subject of the chat room: Jonathan says that in theory they're holding off on the big changes here till after they've finished the migration to a new hosting service, but he'll see if he can figure out a way to move the chat room over here sooner. Fingers crossed that I can get this to post...

I noticed yesterday that the experimental chat room is down, and is still down as of about noon edt today. Does anyone have any news about what's happened? Are they getting it ready to move back to the main site? Has it been abducted by aliens (with green cards, of course)? Did somebody walk by the cord and indavertently kick it out of the outlet? The possibilities fairly boggle the mind? Feel free to post your theories.
