    Let's buy the cow palace, convert it to open air living quarters, with a huge living room and open lofts, buy back the wall of sound, hire bear as equipment and spiritual guru, hire mr. norman as sound guru, dan, betty,bob and bill as recording and mixing advisors, mr. gans as setlist director,eileen as archivist, as this will be historic, blair and david as researchers, mr. biffle for backdrops, buy back the archives from rhino, fill in the gaps from the viners, have gratefulmom be the room mom, iknowurider to be the hostess, grdaed73 be the party advisor, jonathon the tech guru, and marye the master of ceremonies.Then lets just say this is our wepod......... opps.. I forgot catering. peace and dead dreams,pk

    AND
    AND: it will be solar powered! OK, cool, add the video, too. this is why I opened up the product development to the 'committee' here, I can't think up, (let alone remember) everything. I'm barely rebemering my own blood type these days, as it tends to be Johnny Red, 80 proof. RH factor NEGATIVE. I do think, if I consider this from a very prudent business point of view, that the sub-woofer, multi-speaker, thing must be an option. I learned on the road, people do not want a 'pack' of stickers, they usually want to choose one at a time. I went to the WharfRaton School of Business in Hell's Kitchen, youngest graduate at age 11. I learned during my internship. People want options. oh, scratch resistant surface, a vairety of colours, tie-dye of various shapes and forms, various dead logos and trademarks, available. or, as I would choose for my Deadhead Shuffle: basic black, the only tiny little trademark for me, would be THIS: peace.

    shall we call this, uhhh, (cough, cough) a pipe dream?? ( -; I certainly hope not. OK, if you boys tell me this is technically possible, well get up on that wagon! we're going up north to put the word in the streets. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy who is a close personal friend of Steve Jobs' personal trainer. ( -; I got the name, and watch for the upcoming manufacture and release of...................... big drum roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** The Deadhead Shuffle (loud cheers and roars of applause echo through the land) ( -; now who will deal with Rhino to get them to release the rights to all of the stuff in the vault? peace.

    50 TB hard drives?
    Probably not by Christmas 2008, but I'd be surprised if you didn't see them by Christmas 2010. Plenty of 1 TB drives on the market already. Now if Intel can just get Tesla's electrical power broadcasting thing actually functioning, bye bye to the battery toting mule as well...

    don't know who's backs that strong
    ya know CCj, this can be done! the capacity amount isn't a problem, the shows plus all video(u forgot that,ccj) can be done( even throw on kesey's bus TRIP) and the headphones are a cinch, docking and shuffle already done, hey how about the worlds smallest external LOUD speakers with subwoofer that fit in the back where the battery was! ...because the battery pack would need a mule to carry it around for you : ) and u know what happens if the horse won't pull....

    What I really want
    what I really want is a 50,000 GB hard drive type i-pod type cigarrette pack sized contraption that plays the highest quality flac/shn (or whatever is the best) digital music, that includes EVERY SINGLE SECOND of every show, every acid test, every last tiny bit of tape of the good o'l grateful dead, EVER recorded, it must have docking capability, AND I want it to have noise reduction head phones. ( -; AND I want it by Christmas! ok, just to keep everybody happy, my dream i-pod can have a shuffle feature for the people who like compliations. hows about that?

    thank you, thank you very much. just a quick pop in, mom since I got some decently speeded inet access for a few days. won't be "back" til fall. the real credit for the love post goes to the songwriters and the folks who run the lyric website, http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/intro.htm as far as I can tell, this is the only time the grateful dead sang the word "mom" in the Merle Haggard cover: "Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest, wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused" love and peace.

And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Going where the there is no rain at all On a dry farm until fall Dug one well, made a ditch The muscles in his back are starting to bitch Again, CC's been drinking, out on a binge No reason why, but just on a whim Now he is shitfaced, on a plane Flying away, he's just in-sane And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back

I've thought about this situation on and off today with numerous different feelings / reactions and I'm going with my old standby: "You can only be a victim if you admit defeat" - Thats a line from a Descendents tune. The title of that song could be "Coolidge" but I'm not certain. Either way, the point remains that you and you alone are in control of how other's actions react with you. Its not the same thing as being "thick skinned". Its actually more like empathy. You need to step inside of his shoes for a minute and you'll probably find that you pity him much like Frodo and Bilbo pitied Smeagol. Face it, he made a deliberate attempt to mess with you and, to be perfectly honest, if I was looking at houses and I stumbled into a GD shrine complete with GD being played and posters, etc. I'd mess with the heads, too. Basically, because I'd have the understanding that deadheads are typically kind of out there and open to all kinds of kooky possibilities. However, I definitely wouldn't have made light of the passing of Jerry Garcia (rest his jammin' soul) out of respect for the heads in question. Yep, he did that to be a jerk and he succeeded, but we should all be laughing at his lack of understanding of the music. Which, while I'm philosophizing and quite loquacious, I'll add that deadheads are a potential turn-off for me sometimes. I just wanna hear the notes played. The kind of maniacally obsessive religiosity that some heads exude is simply too much for me at times. (some of you reading this may be in this category, but, for real, I mean no offense!) But hey, thats me. In fact, watching some of the footage of their shows lessens the musical effect for me, sometimes, but when I just put my ears on, well, shoot, I could listen for ages on end. I should shut up...now. | Wait until the veil is shredded, then reveal it |

thanks. that tattoo on that site is BAD. almost as bad as the one my dad got during his mid life crisis. the artist i was going to go to is on par with chris garver and had been featured in international tat magazines. turns out the age limit isnt 16 in ireland, and my dad wont give permission. I was thinking of getting a syf, as my second. my first i want to get as my 18th birthday gift at the famous miami ink.Peace, The Kid

yeah..miami ink are great,but the best on any good tatoo is that it comes out of your mind and phantasies and whatever,and than the guy making your tatoo becomes an artist..because he is able to get together your imagination and make it real with his handcraft.CC the one whos gone was pretty right,dont let yourself cover with black cats!:-)(-:

Cheryl Crow video called "Out Of Our Heads" a pretty cool song and they show Jerry in it giving a peace sign :) right after these lyrics...Every man is his own prophet Oh every prophet just a man I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves Teach your children best you can Let every man bow to the best in himself We're not killing any more We're the wisest ones, everybody listen 'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your Tears and look to your heart

I just received the news the Philly Spectrum will be demolished early next year and be replaced with a mall and restaurants. "And the times they are a-changin". It was my home venue through high school in the 80's. A lot of good memories will go down with that building. The most memorable was in 1986. I was normally a hallway dancer, but this show I dug my way to about the 4th row in between Phil and Bob and and saw first hand Jerry lose touch with himself and his guitar totally took over his body. It was a Morning Dew out of space and Jerry did not look like the pillar of health coming out after drums. He was sweaty and shaking, but kicked into the most soulful rendition of Dew that I ever witnessed firsthand. (I believe it was my 1st Dew too). His guitar played him....I was convinced. I had tears in my eyes for the first time at a show. I was so blown away. Dew ended and the Band went off the stage. I didn't really comprehend the show was over, until the faithful in Philly started booing the Dead post encore. THE BOO'ed the DEAD. I was flabergasted. Never before and never again. Never a dull moment. I will miss the Filthy Spectrum.
