    Looking for a VW ad from Rolling Stone magazine
    Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Looking to purchase a copy of the VW ad from Rolling Stone shortly after Jerry died. I believe it was a VW bus and the copy said something to the effect of, “thanks for the long strange trip.” Thanks in advance for your help.

    taxes paying for archive
    A recent op-ed piece by Brian Riedl (Heritage Foundation) alleges that $600 million taxpayer dollars are going toward the Grateful Dead Archives. While I'd gladly contribute $2 bucks (my share) towards this endeavor, I wonder if there is truth to this?Peace, Fred

    OY!
    I am waiting on someone and figured I'd kill some time trying a bit more. ---I kinda ran on here, have that tendency, so maybe just scan it and I'll try one last thing later and make a more concise summery report--- There seems to be no pattern, hit & miss. One image I never get the scaled pic even at 72 dpi. It is the largest physical size pic as it is an 8x10 photo scanned in, cropped and resized to the 600x400 limit but as you lower the res the physical size, if printed, grows and maybe that has something to do with it??? But shouldn't since it is only 63 KB. When I upload the one and only that has worked so far it worked again & I see the scaled pic. Try another and maybe, the one again and no, yet another n maybe... I don't freakin' get it. I did one I don't care about at 72 dpi and saw the scaled image after upload, hit preview, did not see it other than the scaled, clicked submit and it was there like it is supposed to be. Tried doing what I did for the first and only successful one so far and it did not work this time with another pic at 200, 100 or 72 dpi, same pic at the different res. I deleted that one, tried a few others with clicking on submit, 72 & 100 dpi and they only gave me the scaled image after uploading and nothing when I submitted, I deleted those too. I just did one with uploading the very first taper's tic again, upload, saw scale, upped a different one also at 200 dpi, saw scaled, submitted and I see it like it is supposed to work. I stopped since it appeared to work, left that window open and came back here. Still have not learned anything really definitive other than possibly flaky system never showing in preview, sometimes showing the scaled image after uploading and sometimes showing correctly after submitting. I'm thinking if it does not show after submitting it did not make it to your queue, can't be published and it does not matter if it was the first normal attempt of my goofiness. (Addition after “ending” before posting of course is I think maybe an extra long file name does not work, one had 43 characters and no go, and that ‘ in the file name is ok but not & because when I changed & to _ and shortened as I say somewhere here it seemed to work. Also I tried adding “&” in an already short file name and it would not show the scaled image after uploading before submitting nor show after submitting). Before posting this I tried to do another one and now no matter what no scaled image after uploading, tried a few over and over but never submitted. Kept at it cause nothing else to do right, hello buddy where are you LOL, and going around trying to up 4 different ones, including the one that has worked, one that appears to have worked and 2 others and never had one pic show in scaled and when I got one of the 2 I'm trying to submit to show scaled after uploading I submitted but then it did not show so I deleted it. Sorry this got a bit long going round in circles adding more notes as I went trying to figure this out without success while still waiting on someone after WOW I did not realize it has been 2.5 hours since your post above Mary. Went to the topics page of this part of the forum to see since it shows time since last post. It would be nice if there were timestamps next to the posting date. This is getting nerve racking and this sort of thing is part of my job. I am really thinking there is something flaky with the system as that would explain why the same pic would work one time, not another, then yes... and also possibly partly why the no image in the queue is not uncommon. I stepped away from this for a bit and tried the one that never showed a scaled image after uploading. It was a kinda long file name although I have seen longer here before but that could be before image limits, pixels, res & size might have changed. I shortened and still no go. It had an "&" in the name and when I change it to a hyphen I saw the scaled image. Could be coincidence but I tried replacing the & with _ in the long file name and no go but first try with _ instead of & with shorter file name and I saw the scaled image. It did not preview, no surprise there since none have yet, and it did not show when I submitted. I tried the first "trick" from a few days ago and no then around an around I went again and now I see it after submitting. Ooops this grew some more while experimenting, getting a little frustrated but persevering and noting since brain death occurred a little bit ago and I'm not totally remembering all I did so I'll refer back to this later. Hopefully the two I think worked today, one right after your last post Mary and the 2nd just a little bit ago, that I see correctly after submitting is in the queue and you only see those 2 not all the other attempts that I deleted too. Ahh finally the call I've been waiting for, time to chill and officially start the weekend :)

    Hmmm
    I submitted a new one at 200 dpi, saw the scaled image after clicking on upload, still did not see the full image when I hit preview and still nope after submitting. I wonder if there is a problem with the system today since what I did the first time does not appear to be working this time, resubmit with orig open and then saw full image under view even though it was not on my account homepage yet until the image is approved. Oh well try again next week, have a good weekend.

I brought this up in the "Announcements" section but there was alot of "other stuff" going on there and it was maybe over looked. I grew up in Inglewood - saw my first rock show at the Forum, a group called Cream - also saw the Jefferson AIRPLANE (NOT Starship...), Jimi (twice), the Stones, Dylan, C.S.N. & Y., C.C.R. & the Grateful Dead (6 times) - ALL at the Forum. Many fond memories. My son is 16 and has not been to any shows of any kind yet. A while back he said he was mad at me because, through me, the Grateful Dead have become his favorite band, and he will never be able to see them. Now, because of this tour, he will be able to see the closest thing this side of that "big show in the sky". I have 2 ticket for the 9th and am very happy - BUT I just learned from a co-worker about the Stagehand Union strike at the Forum.See - http://www.ia33.org/action/la_forum.htm and/or http://www.justiceattheforum.com/ Neil Young canceled his show rather than cross the picket line. We have had some grocery store stickes as my boy has been growing up and we never cross the line.I hope someone is looking into this. I'm not trying to be negative. I am so glad that they are playing at the inauguration of the man I voted for. "Lotta poor man got to walk the line Just to pay his union dues" -Peace-

He's directed a bunch of episodic television, mostly on Disney Channel. He was nominated for a film directing award too: the 28th Golden Raspberry for Worst Director for "Daddy Day Camp" He's no Opie Cunningham. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

there has been some work on the servers happening behind the scenes, and it has periodically caused things to go a bit wacky. Generally it goes away on its own, but if the problem persists do speak up. (This also applies to the epidemic of duplicate posts and overenthusiasm of the spam filter, for which I do apologize.)

Hey wings, what I heard was that they would be sent out about 2 weeks before the show dates, so hoping to get mine for greensboro about end of March or a bit earlier, said that they would send a trackin' # when they sent out the tix. so expect them in about 2 months. :) hope this helps. peace

Here's what I received in the body of my confirmation email: "By choosing UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Worldwide Express, it does NOT necessarily mean that your tickets will arrive two days after processing your order. Tickets will be shipped approximately two weeks before the event date; however they might be shipped earlier. If you have not received your tickets within one week of the event date, please email deadtickets@musicotoday.com immediately and we will happily assist you."

I have been trying to access this site for months, but the site continues to announce that it will be back at a future date. I apologize for bothering people with this question if the answer is obvious, but I am completely curious about it as the site has been down since well before Christmas. Thanks!

Thanks for the info marye. I guess it's just as simple as people having different opinions about who gets what and who owns what. I guess I'm glad I've been able to track down all of the Pure Jerry releases from other sources. It's just more proof that silliness still prevails in this world.

Hi, I can't seem to find any instructions to mail order tickets for Spring Tour...can you direct me? Of course I would like to do it today...so maybe I'm too late to ask. As I remember from many years ago, the process was quite exact & sadly I only remember some of the details like 3x5 index cards and cashiers checks or was it money orders??Thanks

We usually stayed in a motel by the University. On El Camino Real by the Sizzler. A few miles away, but suffice it to say there were many tapestries in the windows and nobody ever closed a door all weekend! ;) Just remember, all the rooms look alike, so it's easy to find yourself in a room full of new friends. Kinda the point anyway, right? :)

except for the rare day I take off, I check the spam filter daily, so posts that get caught up in this fashion don't stay that way long enough to do anything like disrupt a vine. Though when responses are running a couple of hundred per hour it gets a little surreal.
