I'm in officially and other stuff

I got the official word from Elvis 2 a.m....I'm in for FTW!!! Apparently, I'm one of the knuckleheads who did not list his email on the 3x5. So ... for the extra anguish wondering if I'm in or out... I blem myself. My email number was #33!!!! So I could have known 2 months ago. what an idiot. Anyway, I'll see you all in Chicago...I can say confidently now. I f. I feel really lucky. Other stuff. I can't make SC. But we did make 2 hotel reservations just in case, which my wife just cancelled. Grab em if you need em and if they're still there... Hilton and Marriott, Santa Clara

strawberry cream cheese pie...

strawberry cream cheese pie sounds delicious, although probably too far back in the thread to be relevant. i doubt it cares. so happy for you left-coasters!! A "nya nya" to those that sneered at the notion that the band actually does give a crap about its family. joining Stella in the six-day grind (although i'm salaried so who's it all for anyway?) gotta focus, so a passing wave, and back to the path right foggy.

Ye Choices @ rgrgrgrr

Good Morning All! A glorious sunrise, and a wonderful Saturday to you. First things first....We Are Sunshine Daydreamers, whether we are the left coasters or the Chi-dreamers, we are one and won are we. We stay true to our roots, this forum, and post away in all abandon. 'cept you rgrrrgrrgr, you gotta drive. And a fine job you are doing. Steady on, Daddio, keep on course, stopover in Santa Scara for a field trip to see the Californai hippies, then onward to Chicago. Our T-shirt might be just fine. Our vision certainly is. A mini-tour for the Dead, a choice for us all, and music to rock our souls. Let's see how things shake down Rjjjrrrrjjjr and all. We'll talk it up on the email thread and then go public. If the cats and kittens wanna play elsewhere, because there is another weekend to party, then so-be-it. We can do both here just fine. Maybe the left side of the bus can be the SC-bound folks, and the right-righteous side be the Chi-town Irregulars. ciao, tally ho, pass the sugar, thanks. Geoallisokmeister

So Many Roads to ease our souls....

Morning campers....Oooooh my, what a day ithat was. Left coasters in a frenzy, east coasters hopes dashed....a new round of anticipation, and possible heartbreak. I can't do CID two weeks in a row but can do a lottery and leave on a jet plane.... or miracle a Few.... I propose a separate forum to discuss Levi Stadium plans..... As we get closer to the shows, these subforums will have more specifics re. our respective Crusades.... It will preserve the spirit of SD and allow the character of Levi to develop a life of its own.... Wishing everyone a blessed Saturday... so which way do we go, George? We're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese and wonderfully clean in the morning.....

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.

mkav

So glad you made it as well brother....

GSTS TOO emails

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.

StubHub

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!

@ASL

You get my email with proposed avatar for your account? And oh yeah!,,, So glad YOU made it....too

@tfonts

so glad you and your Trey stamp made it... jk....the brother has some awesome ink.....too bad they misspelled Grateful.... Says something like GratePhish Dead :-) Oh well...

@StubHub; @ avatar

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 !!

CID with Hotel

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.

@friend of the Devil

So glad you made it....btw where's my $20 bill...it just vanished in the air.... Make yourself at home....

Re Devil CID

Goddamn son, I could retire with that mad jack

re: your $20

It's in Utah...in a cave up in the hills. GPS coordinates to follow.

Hey Satan...

Nah just keep it...buy me a beverage at the Circus in 102 daze

that place

Where is 102 anyway? Probably nowhere near 145....Beezelbub been dancing around 138 trying to sell 24's, but we ain't letting him in. p.s I have no idea what I'm talking about. Or do I?

Well, well, well

you can never tell Levis announced.. Surprise. :|

re: Levi's

https://twitter.com/BillWalton/status/580117293117493248 Which means Chicago price erosion continues !!!

Stub Hub

has three day @ $800. the rats are getting nervous

gone

that was quick. more to follow im sure

re:gone

Nice, MadSwan - for sure, prices will be a fallin'.... Levi's GREAT NEWS for the ticketless and/or needy.

Re Levi

Lets get that info up on the site here Dead.net, need something a little more substantial than Mr. Bill's tweet.

Swan

So Glad you made it, hope you stay, maybe we can do a Sunshine Daydreamers West, right tfonts?

Walton knows

yeah, need the official, but I don't think Tall Bill would tweet that if it wasn't happening.Walton's been in tight with the Band for decades.

Totem...

It's gospel.....

re Walton knows

Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare...

tfonts i need one...

for Sunday for, just 1 for myself. and in fact, I still in sorta MO limbo for Fri and Sat...but I digress, ...now that Santa Clara looks official, my backyard, I'm so confused, and now I tri-gress. 1 sunday tix if you happen to find a package in ur search for ur wife

Nonsense

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.

rrrrrrrgrrrrr

No, didn't see your post. Sorry. Taking a deep breath now after my rant. Not really feeling refreshed though. Please resend. Thanks.

ASL you dont 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.

Walton Shmalton

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.

@ASL

avatar sent to your private SD provided email....

@ Swan, rrrrrgrrrr and SD'ers West...

Sunshine Daydreamers West? rrrrrgrrrrrr have you lost your mind? (that's a silly question....) This original merry gang of pranksters is all I can handle, dude. It's taking so much time my poor wife is beginning to think I'm having an affair!! I feel like the dude on the "it's Jake, from State Farm" commercial - sitting in my home office, blogging and spreadsheeting and she's like - REALLY??? Ah....but I digress....g'mornin' y'all!!!! T-Shirt update is in your in-boxes. Please opine (love that word) via e-mail. Thanks !!

Tick-Tock

Only 101 days until showtime! Patch those sails and shine those rails!

@tfonts re SD west

So disappointing dude.... Ok, I get that you're only human, and btw kickass job so far...on the Midwest trek...gotta preserve the family unit. Guess that means those of us venturing to the left coast in June are On our own, on our own, ON OUR OWN!!!! remember: those that could not sink or swim were just left there to float In Ticketmaster spinning ball limbo!!!! Have a Grate day all!

eBay GDTS TOO tickets

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?

Dead Covers Project...

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 !!

Dead Covers

I saw it last week and went through them all, pretty good. I voted for the 10 year old kid playing scarlet/fire.

@ Dire...

Absolutely - that kid ROCKED !!!!

Tfonts

Check your PM

Thanks rrrrrrgrrrrrrr

For my beautiful avatar!

@ ASL

Only your beauty, my dear, out shines that glorious new avatar. You are one stylin' sista !!! Uncle rrrrrgrrrrr coming through in the clutch :-)

Dead Covers

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

@ASL hey ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrllllllllll!!!!

Sportin' quite the timely avatar.... You have good taste in logos... And it suits you.... Jerry and his Bears, Goin' down the road....one last time...feelin' bad.....after the pic a nic! Glad I could help a head in need. Just call me rrrrrrrgrrrrrrrr

Jake from State Farm

tfonts, I'm gonna check out the T-shirt design as we speak. I think it might go with my khakis. By the way, I sound hideous. Keep on daydreaming!

@ BobLoblow

But bro, you are the KING of spreadsheet BLANKS. EVERY CELL. BLANK. ps - nice khakis though.

I called Jake...

and he took care of it. :D I did get a "who's that on the phone" though. Things are coming along nicely at supersonic speed, and as Marty McFly said about Johnny B. Goode: All right, guys, uh, listen. This is a blues riff in "B", watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?
