    Extra Tickets 7/5 and Pink Talking Fish 7/4
    I have an extra Pit Ticket for Sunday July 5th. I bought a couple on Ebay for what I think is a good price, $1600. Most other auctions have been considerably higher. I'll offer it here to SD'ers for $50 less than what I paid for it, $750. Won't have it of course for a few weeks. Other extra is PTF on Saturday July 4th after the Dead at Reggie's 11:00 pm. My cost is yours, $30.

    Just listening
    So I'm sitting here at work, listening to some Jerry and once again I'm reminded why I love his playing so much. The sincerity, tenacity,and authenticity of his playing just floors me sometimes. Every push, pull, slide, or bend of a string means something. Trey better deliver. I'll be smuggling tomatoes into Soldier Field just in I need to add some vegetables to some noodling. I'm hoping for a 3 course meal with dessert though. And them ain't no rotten tomotoes from the back of the dus either, but maybe some leftover picnic goodies. Like Ma always says, waste not, want not. Home is where the heart is.

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.

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
