    Two Thumbs Waaaaay Up
    for the Wenonah Italian Market!!!!!! Just returned from an thoroughly scrumptious dinner there featuring an excellent salad with high quality greens (at room temperature, not refrigerated - right on!) and decent tomatoes with a balsamic vinaigrette, followed up by an absolutely delicious veal saltimboca! And I finally got to meet Ken. Thank you 2G's, and Steve. And this award is entirely serious! Can't recommend them highly enough! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Thanks kindly
    for the offer, Ted. Think I'm good for now, though. Maybe you could throw a bone to some of the younguns showing up round here of late, should they muster up the audacity to ask. Best of luck to your Chiefs, even though it probably won't thrill my parents who live in San Diego... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Hey, grate idea!
    yo Mr Pid; I do have a few shows: whatcha need? I can spin some off while I'm watching the Chiefs & waiting for my lower abdominals to heal up. Thanks for the Spybot reference. I had tried SpyHunter and Spyware Doctor, but neither would kill the av360.

    Pesky malware problems?
    I heartily recommend Spybot for dealing with such things in the Windoze world. I also heartily recommend Linux for avoiding the Windoze world, and most of its attendant problems. Glad you got your problem solved, Ted. Remember, you can always burn some more shows to keep warm! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Antivirus 360 malware
    I enjoyed my Saturday evening isolating and removing a pop-up mechanism called av360. Somehow I got suckered into punching the "okay" button, as it advertised itself suddenly as a virus awareness function, and it was off to the races with non-stop warnings, automatic reboots and pc weirdness. I finally located a free malware software called Malawarebytes that found the pest and removed it successfully!! I celebrated the return of a normally-functioning laptop with a cold Mendocino Imperial IPA!! Bracing for a Sunday arctic blast later this afternoon.....

    the actual award is a visit from the flyin' monkeys....so hide yer beer as they are notorious beer thieves, and have been known to steal west coast beer and bring it to new jersey for the lucky ducks. they are classified as aviary rodentian primates and are wicked fast, the rotten little winged bastiches.

    Hey now, somebody shoulda told me about the mad props
    Never visited this forum, thought I'd check it out and darned if I'm not getting kodus all over the place. Thanks fellow tribespeople! That Golden Can coming via UPS or regular mail? (the observant will have noticed that the vines I monitored all happened to be vines that hadn't gotten to me - just a coincidence, I swear! - Do need to get started on some of the ones past me, don't think they've noticed there may be an issue with the Field Trip) I've gotten more enjoyment out of this site than about any other place I've visited on the net - and I've spent way too much time on the 'net over the last fifteen years or so. Good peeps abound (some too nice to be humans, you know who you are). Hope to have a beer and cookies with johnman someday, toss a pot with PK, float in the breeze with LTApilot, visit the Euroheads (especially the ex-pats in France) and have marye give me the historical tour of the Bay Area, etc etc etc; now, if I can just win that dang lottery! Thanks again MarkintheDark PS Almost forgot: The address for Tommo I put on the O&ITW vine was incomplete, and I expect the vine to be returned. Just found out it hadn't been delivered to Tommo when I checked the forum yesterday, and identified the problem. Wanted to give it a few days more to see if it comes back, but since I've been "gently prodded" I think I'll go ahead and dupe it up again. I need to go post this in the forum too, so ta for now! (ale, that sounds pretty good...) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

*giggle**blush more* Good vibes is not something I've ever been accused of; TigerLily is easily amused, therefore I'm movin' to France. Thanks doll. I'm voting with Hal on PK too, PK is almost too nice to be a human. Nice potter, as well - they're more sculpture than pottery.

Down there in that nice warm sewer there's an alligator getting ready to pounce on a juicy rat, when suddenly: a cell phone rings! Hahahahha! Wonder what her ring tone is? Suddenly: a cell phone rings "Friend of the Devil"! hahahahahahaha! Ah, sewers.

But those vibes are a reflection of the magnificent spirit of love and family this little magical band from San Francisco has planted on this big blue marble. That spirit shines through the folks here like the golden rays of the sun on a beautiful day at a grateful dead concert in the park.I think the The Golden Spirit Award goes to the many here that make this place a home. In no particular order, Hal, for his wise words, Oroboros, for his teachings and stories, Markinthedark for his sense of humour and his kind investigative work, TigerLily for her beautiful spirit shinging across the grate pond, Gigi, for her the happiness and love she showers over us all, grdaed73 for the life of the party atmosphere he shares here, nobody loves a party, iknowyourider, for the color she brings to the world through her words, Marshun, for the sunflowers, Freeidea, for his beautiful poems, Trevor, for his nice hippy ways, Mr pid for his intellectual spirit, Techgirl for her virtual smile and erickat, Lopezz, sunshinedaydream, ltapilot, birdsong, Tommo, and the many viners for the wonderful seeds they have planted in the garden here at deadnet, and many more. And Marye, for pulling it all together, with a smile, and a little help from jonathon. Thanks for making this world a better place. An honor to share it with you. peace, hope, and dreams, pk

I'd like to give the Bareback Award to Southern Tam for her "unbridled" enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. If you don't know what I am talking about, check out the Dead To Tour topic. She almost singlehandedly negated all of the negative vibes. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

As the singular Oroboros, I hereby recognize Hal (super & regular alike) as our 'Keeper of the Vibe'. All in his presence have noticed his glow and feel this vibe passed on to us all. Hal enriches our tribe with his wise words, kind advice, and gentle wit. Hail, hail, and cheers to Hal and us all, as we raise our pints to one who adds so much to our dance, warms our hearts, and encourages each on the path. "Believe it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on...." The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

After nearly two years of regularly giving them a hard time I think its about time I nominated the mysterious 'powers that be' for an award. The long promised 'tidal wave' of releases has now really arrived (entire '77 and '68 shows in the last month!), the adoption of the Pure Jerry catalogue is a stroke of genius, the addition of the new search and filter tools on the site is a great improvement, the continued tolerance of the vineyard is most welcome and the advance coverage of the Dead tour has been very imaginative. The only flies in the ointment are the bizarre postage charges for store orders outside the US, but I hope that this award will encourage them to sort that one once and for all. So step up 'Powers That Be' to receive your deserved award (you can wear disguises if you want to continue to be mysterious)
