    No way, Stella - ain't happening. We'll always have and forever be the SD'ers. Next time Bobby in whatever iteration comes down here to So Fla, you're all invited down. Plenty of room at the ranch. No reservation needed. We'll be dancing amongst the palm trees in our flip-flops, SD T's and tin foil hats baby !! BTW, it's Taco Tuesday here - who's hungry?

    Happy Birthday Anniversary and happy unbirthday to us all of the other days. We certainly have put a lot of mileage on this bus and by the time we "get there" we'll be experts (at being beginners). Today I'll have coffee before taking the wheel but the wheels know where we're going so... until then.... I'm trying to imagine post-CHI SD land. Silly? Where's my coffee.

    Happy birthday, deeeaaaarrrrrr uuuuuuuuhhhhuuuuuhhhs, happy birthday to us! All I ate this morning was a hard-boiled egg. No cake, no other culinary delights--so unDaydreamer-like. Fueled by delicious coffee and yolk, lol. Oh, well, all in the name of shining sails and patching rails at work. See you all around our third anniversary and I hope the honeymoon never ends . . . . PS - thanks again, Tom!

    Our Birthday!!!
    Just in from "Those Who Keep Track of Things Important" Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! We are one month old today!!! Yes, on March 21st, our fearless founder and seeker of truth, TFont, announced our new Name: The Sunshine Daydreamers! Here's his email from that fateful morning: "GROUP NAME: Well gang, nearly and I mean nearly ALL of you voted and the final tabulations are in. Right now, you can break out your 1973 release of the late, great Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name” on 45 (shit, I’m guessing there are folks here who weren’t even born in ’73 and may need an explanation as to what a “45" is? lol…). Anyway, I digress…or as we like to say in the Dead vernacular, I’m a Ramblin’ - sorry, Rose. So the vote was cast wide and deep. Reflective of our coast-to-coast and sea to shining sea group. We had, incredibly, 20 creative names to pick from (thanks, again, to all of you for that). And while the voting did indicate a critical mass around a few prospective names, the one undisputed leader and the one that received the most #1 votes (there were no ties here) was………modest snare drum roll now over-dubbed to that Croce classic you have spinning in the background: SUNSHINE DAYDREAMERS \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ Lift a glass, stand in front of a mirror and sing a selfie-toast, "We are the Daydreamers and we are one month old. We Miss Jerry but we will get by, because we are friends and the music never stopped." Then tuurn and take a bow, for you are Someone Who Counts. Take care one and all! geopartymeister

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
