    @ and you should know thats true
    OOOH turn it up Sarge, thats my Jam I came for you! Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive. Hit it Sarge! In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath, Runs the all-time loser, Headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- Steam breaking on his brow -- Thank God, he stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off At the stations -- one by one. His woman and his best friend -- In bed and having fun. He's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees -- Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- Catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls. He picks up Gideon's Bible -- Open at page one -- God stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down.

    @douche nozzles yet again????
    Princess cards she sends me with her regards Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks" But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too [CHORUS] I came for you, for you, I came for you But you did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you But your life was one long emergency And your cloud line urges me And my electric surges free Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all now to me, girl, while you've got the strength to speak 'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask And don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back You and your pony face and your Union Jack Well, take your local joker and teach him how to act I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive You could laugh and cry in a single sound And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god? You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek That ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leech But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for And it's not that nursery mouth that I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor 'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors And who am I to ask you to lick my sores? And you should know that's true Let's get done being douchey? K????

    @ douche nozzles
    Im so glad admin is OK with the term douche nozzle... I dont like being censored. my sister who incidentally is also named Holly(step sister) used to think in the song blinded by the light that they were saying "wrapped up like a douche" and wouldn't listen to the song. Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night Blinded by the light Madman drummer bummers Indians in the summer With a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps As the adolescent pumps His way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder Feeling kinda older I tripped a merry-go-round With this very unpleasing Sneezing and wheezing The calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground [Chorus:] But she was blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night. Some silicone sister With her manager mister Told me I got what it takes She said, I'll turn you on sonny to something strong Play the song with the funky break And go-kart Mozart Was checking out the weather chart To see if it was safe outside And little Early Pearly Came by in his curly-wurly And asked me if I needed a ride Asked me if I needed a ride [Chorus:] ‘Cause she was blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light. She got down but she never got tight She's gonna make it to the night She's gonna make it through the night But mama, that's where the fun is But mama, that's where the fun is [Solo] Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun But mama, that's where the fun is Some brimstone baritone Anticyclone rolling stone Preacher from the east Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone. Hit it in its funny bone. That's where they expect it least." And some new mown chaperone Was standing in the corner Watching the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone Was messing with his frozen zone Reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground But she was blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night.

Good luck you all on the divide and conquer Ebay sale. I intend to wait for a bit longer. Try to relax this whole thing is way more stressful than it used to be. My heart raced every time the seconds ticked down to a sale time. CID presale, TM sale, Dear Jerry Citi bank presale, Dear Jerry 9:30 club presale, Dear Jerry public. That is 5 near cardiac arrests while waiting for bits and bytes to come over the wire and show me success or failure. At least the Mail Order was not a single high stress moment, just a series of days waiting for bad news. So watching an ebay auction come to an end and wondering if my bid was accepted would be too stressful. I do wish you all luck though.

Couldn't have said it better bro....you are spot-on. And to be clear, my expectations are still low on copping any of these eBay auctions. I do know this - I prefer a GDTS TOO commemorative ticket, rather than a TM ticket (I think I can speak for all on that one). I also want a frickin' view of the stage (which I believe every GDTS TOO ticket will have). I also believe, as posted last night on the big board, that when tickets finally get sent out in June and arrive in people's mailbox, that there will be a flurry of ticket sales during that time period. So, I've concluded that yes, there is a price for "peace of mind" by securing a ticket during the next 8-10 weeks, but patience, as always, is a virtue.

I enjoyed the Dead Covers Bracket also. My first choice was "He's Gone" by Alice and her gang. I also liked The Lower Companions "Mississippi Half-Step" and The Play Dead "Black Throated Wind." For the record, I am hoping for a ticket for at least one night - with a view. Ideally a MO ticket. Depending on the cost, I will hopefully then have a ticket to get in the building to miracle to somebody. Welcome SoCalDeadfan! Nightzzzz

Hey now peeps: Yesterday I posted an eBay sale of interest for us. The initial $ 0.99 starting point for these four (4) alleged GA-Field GDTS TOO tix is now a still modest, $ 405. The seller has like tix for all three shows. The auction has two (2) days left. I sent him/her the following e-mail this morning. Trust but verify gang. Let's see if I get a reply. Will advise. Dear lakedrive101, Hi there: I represent a group of folks from dead.net. We are interested in buying all of your tickets for all of the shows. Can you answer the following questions please: - are these, as you state, GDTS TOO mail order tickets? - If GDTS TOO mail order, can you please provide a screen shot of their e-mail to you validating your lottery win with their batch #? I ask you this because your ad mentions the option of a TicketMaster transfer which is simply not-applicable for a GDTS TOO hard ticket. - You indicate these are "GA-Floor" seats. Are these, via the original Soldier Field seat map, the PL4, $99.50 seats? - Are you a deadhead? If not, no need for your reply. If so, please respect the spirt of our community. We'll pay significantly more than face, but we can't produce for you a wheel barrow of money. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dark Star Orchestra just announced shows July 2,3 at the Vic in Chicago. Most of you are probably familiar with them. If not - they (usually) replicate historical Dead shows and they're great. Every once in a while they perform their own original set lists but they're mostly Dead tunes with a few other covers mixed in. John Kadlecik (Furthur) got his start with them. The Vic is an awesome venue. I saw DSO there a couple of months ago and as always they delivered. They did a Chicago show from 1976. Tickets are usually easy to get but with the July invasion they'll be tougher. Tickets haven't gone on-sale yet.

Totem - perfect. I forgot DSO. I'm sure more and more will be popping up, so I'm real glad that you're on it. Also it's Pink Talking Fish :) rrrgrrrr - OCD or none, nothing wrong with writing the name of a band, or spelling a word correctly. I too honor the alphabet. I respect and revere my given and unusual name (Chandra), but Stella sure has a nice ring to it! Thanks family. ps. un-dead but Chicago-weekend related - I will be looking into the possibility of Blues and House music (both very Chicago related). If any of you have a line on either of those, please PM me or otherwise drop me a line! I may only have enough bandwidth to do all of the Dead related things plus probably the Art Institute.

For anyone who hasn't seen DSO - they really are great! I've seen them a few times in Baltimore over the years. They replicate a past Dead show start to finish. Lots of fun! The Vic might be a good Thursday night group activity for whatever SDs are in town?

GM SD'ers !!! Hey now, for anyone interested and getting into town the day before the shows, rrrrrgrrrrr and his wife, and my wife and I will be heading to The Kingston Mines (a classic Chicago blues club). Given there will be three wonderful days to Let the Music Fill the Air from Friday to Sunday, Chi-Town is one of the blues meccas in the US so why not take in some or the local color, right? http://www.kingstonmines.com/ Note: AND TO THE RELIEF OF MANY OF YOU....I AM NOT ORGANIZING A FIELD TRIP FOR THIS :-) (but if Totem attends, we may have a 2nd daily event countdown!!) PS - if any of our local Chicago peeps have another or better recommendation, bring it on please.
