    Seeking Albany (NY) Area Dead Heads for Acoustic Jam
    I'm looking for fellow deadheads in the Albany NY area interested in playing Grateful Dead covers acoustically. Ideally, we'd form some type of ensamble that would perfprm live eventually. However, pure jams are what is most important to me. Help! I guess it doesn't really matter...anyway...

    Your stories...for a book
    I'm helping my boyfriend publish a book about deadheads. He has tons of amazing photos of fans from the 70's and 80's (maybe some of you). What we want, to go with the photos, are stories. Please send your story of your favorite Grateful Dead show experience to: carmen.1011@yahoo.com If we decide we want to include your story, we will let you know and get written permission to publish it along with the photos we have. It's not important that we match photos to stories - just that we have stories to go along with the photos. Pass the word...and send them in. Share your memories with past, present and future deadheads through this book. Thanks!

If anyone could help me get in touch with any of the kind folks mentioned below I would appreciate it gratefully. Lois from Chicago who I traveled with on phil tour and furthur in 2000. The time we spent together was very precious to me, and I treasure it greatly. There is not a day that goes by when I don’t think of you. You are a very special sister, and I love you very much. Please get in touch with me. I Miss you soooo much! Paco Kert from CA, who I last seen somewhere on the west coast, I don't remember where. Paco, I would love to hear from you bro. I saw that sister from Ashland a few times sense then, but she don’t know how to find you. Tristian from CA who I last seen in Eugene in 2001, loves to hang out in Hawaii. Wondering where your at, need to talk with you. Mia Rose who I last seen in 2004 at the Saratoga Springs Show. Mia you have always been so kind to me, you are a dear friend. I hope we can connect again. Sister Faith from CT, its been a while, have not seen you around. Hope all is good, I would love to hear from you. Poet from New Orleans, who I have not seen sense the Flagstaff incident, summer 1993. We left the Tennessee gathering and headed for Vegas, but got separated in flagstaff. I've been looking for you forever, where are you? I have heard you are still around somewhere on the west coast. I have missed you much over the years brother. Karen from the Height who I last seen summer 95. I would love to hear from you again. I’ve been wondering what ever happened to you and I hope all is well. Please get in touch with me. Sunshine Cristy who I last seen in the summer of 95, who I heard was at some time sense then living in Colorado. I miss you sister, please get in touch with me. Leah who I last seen at the Jones Beach show in 2004 and was at that time living in Tucson. Hope all is well with you, get ahold of me, I would love to hear from you. Flower from VA who I last seen after the 2004 Saratoga Springs show at the camp ground. You are the kindest brother in the world man. Your generosity that day really helped me and my family and I have never forgot. I want to see you again. Get in touch with me please. Jamie from VT also last seen after the 2004 Saratoga Springs show at the camp ground. What’s happening? Get ahold of me. Bunny Haze from TN who I haven't seen since the 94 national gathering. Where are you sister? I have missed you much over the years. Allan Thornton from AL who I ran into after several years at the Alpine further show that one year (1998?). We went to your place after you helped us out when we broke down on our way to deercreek. I would love to connect with you again. Beaver Jamie who I last seen at Shoreline in 94 after we hitched up from Venice Beach. It was deathly hot in Vegas that year so we grabbed the first ride that came which took us to Venice. Then when we finally got out of there we hitched a ride with a crazy woman who deliberately took us the wrong direction and would not stop until we got to south central LA, where she forced us to get out. We then walked to Hollywood because no bus would stop for us and we sat by the freeway for three days trying to hitch before panhandling money for a bus ticket to Santa Barbara where we found a ride to shoreline and made it in time for the show. O.T. who I traveled with from Santa Cruz to Tucson for the Gem Shows in like 94 I think. I last saw you at shoreline or calexpo when you were headed out to Hawaii. You taught me alot brother. I would love to see you again. Ken and Molly, we really really need to talk. Ken I last saw you in Michigan years ago and I told you to stop by so we could straighten things out but you never did. Man I love you guys and I hope things are good for you. Please get a hold of me. Adam from Syracuse NY, who I met on tour in 95, and Lisa who was traveling with him. We were together when we heard the news about Jerry. Both of you need to contact me. Please. Freedom Michelle from Syracuse (I Think) NY, who I met in Albany 93, and then you found me again at Nassau. We were supposed to hook up again in 94 but I never saw you. I have always wondered what happened to you. That Albany/Nassau experience was most memorable. I hope to see you again. April from Richmond VA who used to travel with Brent. I would love to hear from you sister, I hope you are well. The Sister from Maine who I met in Vegas in 93. I saw you at a Ratdog show in Portland ME in 98 (I think) and you gave me your number but I lost it, which really bummed me out. I have thought of you many many times over the years and I hope to see you again some day. I will never forget the time we spent together. Any one else not mentioned here, and there are many, names escape me, drop me a line. It is always good to hear from old family and friends. I miss you all so much. Its been almost 14 years since I've seen most of you, longer for some. My love for you has never and will not fade away. I love you all. Peace, Thomas from Michigan pyrorite@gmail.com

I'm organizing a bus from The Fifty/50 Restaurant and Bar in Chicago, located in Wicker Park at 2047 West Division, to take Deadheads to see the Dead at The Allstate Arena in Rosemont. The show is May 5th and it starts at 7:30. The bus will leave the bar at 5:30pm and will leave after the concert ends and take people back to The Fifty/50. Beer will be provided on the bus before the show. Tickets are $40 per person and bus capacity is 32, but we will rent an additional bus if necessary. Contact sweiner@thefifty50.com if interested.

We had our differences Im sorry, I hope everything worked out for you, That summer was the best of my life......We met through an ad I put in high times magazine, I took a train to illinois and we were off for the time of our lives. We hooked up with your cousin I think in Texas and went shroomin and the guy on the horse with the gun chased us so crazy and then hooking up with the rainbows.......We parted ways in phoenix where my life changed forever I still feel it was some sort of cosmic pull b/c I wound up having 4 beautiful children with a man I met in AZ...although we are no longer together......I cant remember your name I was known as wildflower and you had a dog........I hope all worked out for you.......get in touch!!! THERE IS ONE other girl from HARRISBURG that also replied to my ad and we hung out you lived in harrisburg PA..I wound up moving here would love to get back in touch with you as well....peace and love everyone..........xoxo

Hey....Nick....you MUST visit this site once in a while. I know where you are, but, our differences and your opinion of me must be aweful, so I am going to wait for you to get a hold of me. Man...I miss you. We did so much GD with each other that with you gone it's a big chunk of my life missing. I am clean and sober now...as you know the pills took a hold of my life and a little understanding from you would make all the difference in the world if you would just listen to me. Please. How is Root and where is Ziggy?

Hey brother, I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this topic but, its never too late to get on the bus. All you need to do is will it to be so. As for the circus, well you know, try to catch a show or two. Shit man, if you really want to get the whole picture do the tour. Theres a lot of talk, and it could be it so, don't let it pass you by or you may think back for years about what woulda coulda been. Then after tour, head down to New Mexico, gonna be lots of kind folks gathering around there this summer, say around June 21 through July 14. The Fourth of July should be a high time down there this year. Peace out.

Mouse, we worked together in Tahoe in 89-90 and we went to a couple of shows in Oakland during the same time. Not many Deadheads named Mouse, I bet, so I'll give it a shot.Prince - pmk1969@aol.com

Hey now all you dead.netters, I'm just a guy that can remember back in the day, I think around 95-98 sitting at a my college library computer (back when there wasn't all the security on computers or the net) and chatting with some very wonderful people at wemissjerry.org Anyone know where these people are, I'm absolutely sure some are on this site, but whatever happened to that grateful chat room? We would chat for hours, and dayz. Just wondering! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Anyone out there know where to locate a Jerry Chia Head?.....Should have grabbed it whenever it was that I saw it, long time ago....My name is Heidi, I'm a Native American (paiute, blackfeet, cree & lummi) Deadhead, living on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation. I was born on August 9th (the day Jerry died). I went into labor with daughter Cassidy in the parking log at Squaw Valley, when Jerry was playing the Squaw Valley Music Festival, among the guests were Jimmy Cliff. Want to know if anyone who was going to Chico State back around 86-89 knew of a little Japanese Deadhead chick named Michiko Yamamoto. Not sure if she ended up going back to Japan, lost touch.We were show buddies for a good number of years... If anyone should know how to get in touch with Michiko, email me please... heidiaintnoho@yahoo.com thanks Heidi.......ps. I'll be going to the Shoreline Show in May 10, 2009, but for the first time ever, I won't be able to dance. age can be unkind!...i have to go in a wheelchair due to my bad knees. So if you see a native chick being pushed around, it's me, say hi!

His name's Jimmy. He's been to every Dead/Lesh show in the NY area since 1972. He's somewhere between 50 and 55, I'd say. Lives in the NY area. He manages messenger-centers in corporate office buildings--lots of them. He said he's the top manager of like 60 of these things in the 5 boroughs. A friend of mine is writing an article on the best shows ever and what it is that makes an 'historic show'. He spoke with 'Jimmy' at one of the Phil Lesh Nokia shows this past fall, and he would like to continue the discussion. Thanks for your help
