    Typed from the Fingers of our Esteemed Mr.Badger has come the news that The Dead may put on a show in Oct for Obama in Pitts or Philly, as a warm up for a full on 2009 TOUR!!! The aforementioned Badger is having computer issues, so he could not convey this message himself. Dust off your tour boots.... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,413281,00.html PEACE

    I would like mine to also include all shows by the various member bands and solo projects and have the graphics of all records and all posters from the Avalon, Fillmore West and the Grande Ballroom plus all other dead posters and envelope art and backstage passes and tickets. Include all GD Hours so I would have David Gans perspective. I would also like the scent release option which would release many of the smells in the air from being at a show. I promise I would never whine on this site if I got this. Thank you. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    Greetings folks! I've written this satirical poem/song in response to the Madness! Everyone can feel free to sing along...And just possibly it'll help us recover our moral outrage and righteous indignation that seems to have been misplaced somewhere along the Way... So, a one-a and a two-a... The Righteous Indignation Rag Welcome friends, how do you do Glad to see some of you pullin’ through Tell me now and tell me true Has this ol’ world been lyin’ to you Gather round and tip your hat The shadow man is the one in the black Got your name and number too Photographed in red, white and blue Blame it on the liberal pinko fags Do the righteous indignation rag You know, my god he don’t love the Jews The camel jockey ‘slamics too The Buddhists man can be such a bore Drop those atheists dead on the floor I know ‘cause Falwell told me so Now serving time way down below No air-conditioned fat cat limousine Just a’dinin’ on sulfur and kerosene So be you straight or dressed in drag Do the righteous indignation rag Come on, boys, let’s join in the fight Through the gates of Hell we’ll be marchin’ tonight Dress you up in khaki and green A pocket bible and an M-16 You can fire on everything in sight God’ll sort ‘em out later tonight So jump onboard the war’s begun The new world order is a barrel of fun So wrap my ass up in the flag Do the righteous indignation rag They bomb my brain with EMP My guitar replies with its own remedy Dancin’ in the grass to keep me sane My mind goes a’ridin’ on the wind and the rain They call, “To arms!”, but I ignore Back myself right out of that door Locked forever, I’m gone, goodbye I got no mind for the idiot lies Time to split this scene’s a drag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag Do the righteous indignation rag… Peace, Byrd

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."

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?"

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). : )

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

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

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.""

I just checked, and the paper version only went out to folks with U.S. addresses. However, the Almanac is also available as a downloadable PDF file on the page noted above http://www.dead.net/almanac so you don't have to miss out...
