Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

so glad for you Gmom!

So happy to hear you had a good time. 24, possibly the theory that if you immerse yourself in as many years of magical music then you become one with it. Just a possibility. Happy for you,

Very cool of gratefulmom to share her life with us the way she has recently. I'm touched by her openness and wish her and her family all this psychedelic universe has to offer (and then some mooOO0000OOOO000oooore ~ ; - ) "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

quick pop in here, in Nagoya airport on the way to lands farther and further away. love and peace.

Yes, thanks grateful mom, we are too grateful. CC, be safe and know lots of us here are with you in spirit. Thanks to you both for the love you give and the love you share. peace,pk

I am the only 'user' online now so I get to make a special wish. OK.... I made it but I can't tell anyone what it is or it won't come true :-)

Ok so I'm sitting on the beach in Sea Isle City NJ today and went to eat a pretzel and out of nowhere a sea gull came from behind swooped down on my head reached around my face and stole the pretzel right out of my mouth...omg it scared the shit out of me, my friend said it had my hair in a mess in 1 second flat, it happened so fast I was in shock...hehe those nasty seagulls suck!!!At least it didn't shit on me :)

but did you get another pretzel? My sister-in-law's black lab, Elvis, once stole a perfectly prepared bratwurst for which I'd been patiently waiting all day. I had set it on an ottoman in front of me, was seating myself and then he snatched it! The worst part is he looked directly at me while he ate it - kinda like when the opposing team's player hits a home run and then poses at home plate. For seeking retribution: view Caddyshack. Bill Murray was trying to do away with gophers, but I'm sure some of his tactics could apply to seagull disposal. "Where does the time go?"

Mean seagulls do suck, but a little harder to ignore. Yeeeouch! talk about in your face! Bill may be able to help.....maybe.

my uncle had an irish setter that devoured our thanksgiving turkey one year. that was awesome. hmmmm...animals need to eat, too - go figure! | Wait until the veil is shredded, then reveal it |

Just like in the movie The Christmas Story...hehe

I was watering some young Colorado Blue Spruce trees yesterday and startled a large bird of prey, a Marsh Hawk, watching him wing off to the west. I walked over to where he went aloft and found a young rabbit with a hole in his side, just above the forearm, minus the heart!

Jersey gulls seem to be getting more and more aggressive these days. Reminds me of when I was a kid on vacation in NC. My brother and I were sitting on the beach and a seagull flew by and shit on his shoulder. My father was standing there, points at him and starts laughing hysterically. I look at my dad thinking thats not funny, thats disgusting. All of a sudden here comes another one and it shits right on top of my dads head. Now he's not laughing anymore, but I'm doubled over cause NOW its funny. They didn't get me but I was already taking cover.Lessons learned: #1 Don't laugh when someone gets shit on by a gull. If it hears you it will target you next. #2 DON'T FEED THE SEAGULLS. You are just giving them ammunition. (unless you enjoy being shit on). : )

I just read that Cheech & Chong are reuniting for a Comedy Tour after 25 years! Right on, hope they come to a town near me... PEACE

i think you should be able to get an original vinyl edition of the "Big Bamboo"in a record shop nearby you.peace

impossible rider, tommy is posing as a bike mechanic at the shop i've been going to for my wheels, i swear it's him or a clone.... hey dude, do you need this part???(gotta say it sounding like tommy), cracks me up, i'm gonna try to get a circle going next visit : )

Right on, iknowurider! Tommy Chong spent 9 months in a federal prison for his role in selling water pipes and bongs, via the internet. Blackmailed by US Attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan (Gestapo appointee of Herr Bush) Tommy's case was never heard in a real court of law because Buchanan threatened to prosecute his family members (son and wife) unless he accepted the government's terms, who were also part of his bong business. Tommy's house was raided and ransacked by federal goon agents that (imo) should have had other business than shaking down a peaceful head like Chong. This was the pivotal case that sent me away from the Republican Party and back into Never-Ever Land (politically). Good luck on your reunion tour, guys! I hope to catch a show myself.

Lately there has been an issue with black bears coming into the cities looking for something to eat. A few weeks ago a giant bear ran into a small grocery store and ransacked an aisle of various foods. The bear took off before the cops arrived, thus avoiding being killed. No one in the store was hurt. I think I would shit my pants if I were in a store and suddenly had a bear running past me.

recently i have neglected my duty of making completely random posts, so heres 1 to enjoy.and yeash i know this belongs in the stories section, but it wandered, cause the fence broke. once upon a time, my step mother and i had an argument over some stupid thing that made me very angry. i forget what it was, due to the ensuing hilarity, but i would guess it was about censoring my computer. later that day, when she was out, i walked up the street to the CVS and bought a bottle of nair. i came back home and put it in her shamoo bottle in their private bathroom. later that night, she proceeded to give our dogs a bath. apparently we had no doggie shampoo, so used hers. i think you can see where this is going. in the end, the dog looked like a shaved rat, but didnt care as it was summer, and enjoyed being cool. the incident was blamed by the vet on what they thought was an allergic reaction. needless to say, no one used the shampoo after that. I will admit that, though it was horrible, and i feel bad for the dog, it was hilarious. Peace, The Kid

why ur on the group w bench,kid! your a mothershaver! kid, i hope to never piss u off... too funny though :) peace

Dylan Daze 2008: Three days. Three cities. Three shows. One Bob. Since I've gotten old and fully employed this is as close as I can come to following a tour around. It started out as an invitation to a friend of mine in Nashville to come up and see Dylan playing at a casino about thirty minutes from here in Indiana (I live in Louisville, KY). It's a Saturday show so I thought it would be easy to fit into work schedules. My friend looked at the tour schedule and said "sure I'll come up for it, but lets go to the show in Cincinnati the night before, and the show in Evansville the night after as well!" Cool! My friend is awesome, remind me to tell y'all about his first Deadish experience, and his discovery of archive.org. The roadtripping begins Aug. 22 at that whatchamacallit amphitheatre in Cincinnati (National City, I think, next to the big one that Buffet always sells out), then the Horseshoe (formerly Caesars') Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana on the 23rd, finally the Mesker Amphitheatre in Evansville, Indiana on Sunday the 24th. Sure hope it doesn't rain, I'm definitely too old to revert to "mud hippy". Other than that it should be more fun than a bald dog! Cheers, MitD

in the mail, no less! i've never recieved one before, remember i never signed up for fear of the "man" coming down on poor unsuspecting heads! so, my loss right. so i look through and check it out, nice,very cool.... then i catch a glimpse of the addresse's name, mary? my wife!!!! what the... the one who says nobody listens to that shit anymore mary????? i'm so dejected... again reduced to nobody status... oh well...guess i better buy something from the store if i want my name on the mailing list, that how she got!

Dear folks:I received an almanac from Dead.net, a week or so ago, and noticed it was addressed to my sister at my Kansas address: she lives in Ohio. Is the mailing list tied-in with addresses pulled from merchandising orders? She ordered a Dick's Pick's as a gift and had it sent direct to me last December.... Previous almanacs did have my name and address correct, but it had been awhile since I'd seen one in the mailbox. Looking forward to the next one!

Here's something: I too received a GD Almanac. And two days later I received another one! Dead.net loves me two times, baby! (I'm guessing I'm listed twice in the Cosmic Database, I also get two copies of "official email list" messages). Here's something else: a short while ago I happened to be doing google searches for something or other, using the keywords "grateful dead", "moroni", "skeleton", maybe a couple of others. Scanning the list of sites that Google presented me with one caught my eye. It appears to be one of your more fundementalist Christian sites, and was basically talking trash about Mormons etc. For your amusement the link is: http://www.basicchristian.org/christian_mormon.html The following is a snippet that contains the keywords that got the page googled. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote! (I didn't see any copyright notices on the site, and believe that fair use provisions would allow this excerpt. I will understand if this post disappears, however. Hey, the Devil made me do it!) "The new Majority Leader for the United States Senate is now U.S. Senator Harry Reid {a loyal (LDS) Mormon} of Searchlight, Nevada. When Reid was being interviewed in his home by reporters, he took them into his bathroom and pointed to his most prized possession. It was an autographed poster of the Grateful Dead. (38) The Grateful Dead is a notorious hard rock band noted for their heavy drug cult following. They are a satanic group of the first magnitude, and their followers are referred to as deadheads. Their emblem is a skeleton wearing a tuxedo and top hat with the skull wearing sunglasses. It is true, our Senate Majority leader is a deadhead, and this may explain the residue of the two lines of white powder on the glass top of the table, where he was seated with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, sometimes referred to as "Nasty Pelosi.""

would an autographed poster be in the bathroom except to become full of mildew and rot? I just love the web and all the rumors that it passes along and how often there are not legitimate sources for information. Aargh! If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

What is this almanac that people keep referring to? Is it only a domestic U.S. thing??********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens
