    @time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future.....
    Another year gone. Been thinking about posting all day, started and quit thrice already. So much has happened and I don't know where to begin, so I will just type. I remember the morning of January 16th when dead.net posted the FTW announcement. All the anticipation, effort, excitement, heartbreak and the camaraderie we developed. The whirlwind leading up to Chicago, the shows, the pic a nic and most importantly the friendships. I'd like to thank marye for granting us this space, Tony for his time, organization and spreadsheets, George for his patience and wit, Tami and Oat Willie (say hi to Pam) for their artistic contributions, Al, Al's horse, Adam, ASL, Totes, Ms. Katniss, Stanley, Stella, Geeky for her geekiness, Bob Loblaw, spascarella, mortatone, Roadking, Jose, Zeke, Jambo, Dire, JeffTOO, Kurt, Tom Hanlon, Swannie, GOB, Mkav, Boo Boo, OzarkMatt for his outstanding photography, and Miami for spinning awesome tunes and briving a mean dus, let us not forget our fearless leader Mayor Klangstone, yes, I know... it all would have happened without him, but it never would have been as much fun.... :-) To all those daydreamers not mentioned above, you are not forgotten.... I would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding of our obsession with all things Dead.... Well ..time to idle ba dus and watch the last sunset of the year here in da Buff.... If you go out to celebrate, may the four winds blow you safely home..... Hey Sarge, for old time sake, play that song, you know the one that Guy Lombardo made famous....eh? (he was Canadian). Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne! For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne. We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne. ....now, pass me that bone.....and a cup of Philz..... Happy New Year!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR SUNSHINE DAYDREAMERS!!!
    2015 sure has been an amazingly grate year! So glad we made it! Good luck and best wishes in all that we do in 2016!!! In case anyone doesn’t have enough Grateful Dead to listen to and hasn’t already downloaded them, here are links to 30 DAYS OF DEAD and 31 DAYS OF DEAD. (30 Days of Dead has been a tradition on dead.net each November since 2010. The Unofficial 31 Days of Dead follows in December. Each day they both provide an unreleased, unpredictable pick from across the GD eras/years. I’m a full-show/set kind of guy, but you’ll find some real nuggets here.) (UNOFFICIAL) 31 DAYS OF DEAD This link is to this year’s 31 Days of Dead (just completed today). It also includes grate commentary for each day plus additional links to downloads and setlists from previous editions of 31 Days: http://www.phantasytour.com/bands/phish/threads/4108337/31-days-of-dead… (OFFICIAL) 30 DAYS OF DEAD Here’s the dead.net page with this year’s 30 Days (scroll down to download all 30 at once): http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead?intcmp=home/carousel2 For the 2012, 2013 & 2014 editions of 30 Days of Dead: http://www.endlessboundaries.com/free-download-30-days-of-dead-2014/ Not sure where I downloaded 2011 from, but you’ll find the 2010 30 Days on Lossless Legs: http://www.shnflac.net/details.php?id=1e0613884578efe212c8a484665ede094…

    To all of you, for all you do, this poem's for you: Merry Christmas and Best Wishes may your kitchen always have clean dishes; Glad Tidings, be well. Because of you, this year was beyond swell; Thanks for all your sharing your smiles your heart, it keeps us together when physically we're apart; The music is forever and never stops, which fits well, and rhymes with tops; For that's you and you and you! thank you for this year, it really rang true. Happy new Year for 2016; may it fill you with every good thing. I'll close with one simple thing: Let's smile, greet strangers and sing... dance and twirl and laugh and play... share when you can, and have a Grateful Day! your geopoetmeister...{poof}

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
