    @ the cake and the icing
    Both, I hear tell, are of the highest caliber....music, music, music and more music...let there be songs to fill the air indeed. And we also have a gathering of family and friends and friends we haven't met yet with either roses or begonias or bells or rings or you name it...and perhaps a smile or two too...bop bop be buzz bop. Hi my name is mine and yours is yours, and glad we meet finally. One of the nice parts of the ride is the evening, when rjjrrjjrr pulls over and sets those air-brakes with a wooshhh. The ritual rolling down of the windows and stretching and knee bends are just perfect after a long day's ride. There will be time ahead where we pull the all-nighter, but methinks they are still a bit off in the future. For now, as the dusk settles with the crisp air stand up and lean out and breath it all in. The sunset sure was magnificent huh. The way it painted the sky after dropping below those pines. Someone oughta write a song. Listen...shhhh...over in the distance hear that rumble? It's the bull frogs warming up. And out over the pond in that direction, the crickets are going at it by the rocks, and just in the fading light you can see the bats doing a number on the bugs. Yup, the night air smells mighty fine, the stars are starting to do there twinkling. And look at those fireflies darting everywhere. The pond is a beckoning...last one in does the dishes...

    @Their motto is "don't" tread on me"
    Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more'Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door Think this through with me, let me know your mind Wo-oh, what I want to know is, are you kind? It's a buck dancer's choice my friend, better take my advice You know all the rules by now, and the fire from the ice Will you come with me, won't you come with me? Wo-oh, what I want to know, will you come with me? God damn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their walls are built of cannon balls Their motto is "don't" tread on me" Come hear Uncle John's Band, playing to the tide Come with me or go alone He's come to take his children home It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait Wo-oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice Wo-oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?

    I can't hear the tunes
    Everyone let's quiet down around the FB. Consider it off the table* Mostly what is being suggested is what we are already doing - but better. (And dare I say - what I suggested and tried to implement in March for foresight of this very day.) 1) An email group that won't clog and overwhelm your inbox, or 2) a private forum for the same exact purpose we use email for, but with better manifestation, organization, and interface. My email fears have come true. Alas... my cat herding days are over, so I'll just be here in the corner muttering to myself as I try to find the links from James and Totem and the picture from Tami. At least, I've got the pizzas straight. LOVEloveLOVEloveLOVElove StellaI'mNotAlwaysRightButSometimesIReallyAmMoon. *for those of us social-media types, by all means, we ought to have a little satellite spot on fb for laughs and giggles. You can also follow me on Instagram and Twitter if you're into all that. xoxo.

It has been a crazy weekend for me with hardly anytime for checking devices for electronic communication...thank you ALL for all the work in accumulating lists; getting us on here; soliciting ideas; and generally putting things in motion. Let inertia rule! I did manage to catch a north-Texas based Dead cover band Friday night...Forgotten Space. they are beyond excellent. They occasionally do small tours...I highly recommend your catching them if them if they ever swing by you.

Caveat Emptor (Latin for "buyer beware") Seen a few blogs on the other forums asking what a GDTS TOO "real e-mail" looks like. I have a screen shot of one and it was confirmed by my buddy who scored GDTS TOO tickets to be authentic. If any Daydreamers want to see it, drop me an e-mail. You have my addy.

Just FYI you guys -- price for 2 tickets now under $400...okay, so just $399 and horrible seats, but a drop below $400 is a step in the right direction IMO. Love you guys!

Prices on eBay are dropping also. There are multiple GDTS TOO tix on there as well. I need a single GDTS TOO tix for my wife for Fri and Sun. NO TM tix. Gotta have the commemorative one. If anyone else needs a single for any of those nights let me know. I usually hit the parking meter though @ ~ $500 per ticket. Avatar - hey, ASL, I can not WAIT to see your rrrrrgrrrrr avatar recommendation :-) Hey, Uncle Rich is a damn goodman - I'm sure he's taken care of a fellow sister !!

I saw a similar package (with 100-level reserved seats vs. GA) sell on ebay for $12,000. Figure it breaks down with hotel @ $500 per night for 3 nights and $1750 per seat x 6 seats.

Okay Tribe, so yell at me if I'm out of line. Bill Walton, really? I know he was an amazing b-ball player and has been a true Head for many years...but can I ask? WHY are we getting our information from Bill Walton? Enough already. Sorry, but this is pissing me off. JUST SECURE SOME DATES YOU GUYS, FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE FAIR (JUST THIS TIME) ABOUT GETTING TICKETS OUT...AND F***ING DO IT! I cannot bear another run on tickets in California, scalpers, spinning wheels, dashed dreams (again). This is crap. This is nonsense. Sorry Daydreamers. Cranky mood tonight. I've been doing this for more than 3 decades and I have NEVER...this is all just STUPID. Wow. I think I need therapy.

your reaction actually seems pretty rational, considering the catalyst. I just hope they figure out a more equitable way to distribute tix...just be aware...there is still more demand than supply no matter how they sell tickets.

I do not take a deleted tweet as real news. But I find myself looking at Levi's stadium to see what it costs to get a PSL season club ticket arrangement to get in on a pre-sale. Not seriously, but you just get curious. Man it is a strange world.

Hey guys and gals: I need one for Fri and one Sun shows. There's a listing on eBay from the same seller for all dates, one pair for each show. These were for the original PL1 seats ($214.50 each). These will be for lower bowl seats, or, what is now called GA PIT tickets as per the new seat map. Anyone want to go in on a pair with me?

For those that have not seen this, and in the spirit of NCAA March Madness, dead.net has a Dead Covers Project and a bracket set-up for you to select the best home-grown cover of classic Dead tunes. It's pretty cool: http://www.dead.net/bracket/# My fav, and there's a few really great ones, is Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo by the Lower Companions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Wu4sHHo9o Cheers !!

I ended up with West LA from the looping guy. Ultimately, he just put some good stuff together on that jam. Not a big looping effect fan, but it impressed me. I might have a go at again to see what I pick today. lol
