Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call. Momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch yourself." If they knew about miss molly, I have to walk all by myself. Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call. I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring. Would you pardon me a tip made me ting-a-ling-a-ling. Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call. Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball. Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball. When you're rockin' and a rollin', I can't hear your momma call.

ribbit and rabbits and rich, oh my!

I'll share a bit of that red a bit later, Kristine...did you hear that blurb about the Phish heads on KFOG?? what kind of hippies are they? I'll be mining a bit of salt today, as it appears that due to unforeseen interruptions and distractions over the past week...something about a dus brider and a clown and some other tom and jerry foolery...I am a bit behind. So Saturday, here we are...plugging away, with out a single solitary distraction, being productive.... right.

I do believe they are, sir. I do believe they are. My better-half is off to the softball fields tonight, so... I've picked out a nice bottle of red, and some snacks and treats. Ready to settle down easy, pop on my headphones, and smile smile smile. Until then, out to the garden. How does that sound for a lovely schedule? (trust me, people. that by-line made sense, at one time.)

@Eureka!....I can see clearly now .....

I do believe they are broadcasting SC free on the stream into the mystic.... .....now put another dime in the jukebox baby It's poetry in motion She turned her tender eyes to me As deep as any ocean As sweet as any harmony Mm, but she blinded me with science "She blinded me with science!" And failed me in biology When I'm dancing close to her "Blinding me with science, science!" I can smell the chemicals "Blinding me with science, science!" "Science!" "Science!" Mm, but it's poetry in motion And when she turned her eyes to me As deep as any ocean As sweet as any harmony Mm, but she blinded me with science And failed me in geometry When she's dancing next to me "Blinding me with science, science!" "Science!" I can hear machinery "Blinding me with science, science!" "Science!" It's poetry in motion And now she's making love to me The spheres're in commotion The elements in harmony She blinded me with science "She blinded me with science!" And hit me with technology "Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!" I I don't believe it! There she goes again! She's tidied up, and I can't find anything! All my tubes and wires And careful notes And antiquated notions But! It's poetry in motion And when she turned her eyes to me As deep as any ocean As sweet as any harmony Mm, but she blinded me with science "She blinded me with, with science!" She blinded me with science..... Thanks Katniss.....

GRATEFUL DEAD FARE THEE WELL CHICAGO TICKETS

Those in need (present company included) we need to keep an eyeball on this one. Divide and conquer? These are GDTSTOO tix. Field, every evening. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRATEFUL-DEAD-FARE-THEE-WELL-CHICAGO-TICKETS-/3…

eBay

Sounds interesting...I'm in if we can reasonably split.

Nice avatar!,,,

lends a sense of elegance and grace.... :-)

TFonts

Looks good to me - lets keep an eye - I am good for $400

re tfonts divide and conq.

I will join in for 2 Saturday on any 3 days/pkg you get a bite on as long as its not obstucted.

tfonts

I put it on my watch list and will participate if there is room and if the price is right. Thanks for pointing this one out.

Good luck to MadSwan, tfont, properlejdi and ASL

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.

tfonts ticket find GA

Guy wants $1000 a ticket. Nobody bid it up. Does not look like a reserve bid. Lets screw him!

@asl or @rrrrrrgrrrrrrr

Nice avatar ASL! Looks like a sticker, are you printing them? I've printed some GD50 logo stickers, 2.5" round to give to everyone at the pic-a-nic, would love one of these though.

@Tom Hanlon i'm with you

Too stressful to bid, I'm just waiting for my luck to come at me. It will come to all of us, I know it.

@tfonts re: ebay sale for Friday

I'm in if you've got room for one more. I won't place a bid 'cause I don't want to drive you up, but let me know if you're not bidding any more...

@ seeing red Love it, Too

It IS a nice one, right? But I can't take one ounce of credit. It's all rrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrr.

@ tom hanlon and tickets...

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.

Tickets and Dead Covers

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

G'Nite, Stella !!!

...just had to say that - has such a nice ring to it, doesn't it? :-)

HEY NOW ASL....

This morning's mail to you BOUNCED !! Message: mailbox is full: retry timeout exceeded

Update re eBay ticket sale from yesterday...

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. Tony URL of ad: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRATEFUL-DEAD-FARE-THEE-WELL-CHICAGO-TICKETS-/3…

@ASL

Awwwwww shucks..... Said like the Cowardly Lion rrrrrgrrrrr

@red

So glad you made it!,,,,

Rise and Shine

(rooster crows)Only 100 days until showtime! Patch those sails and shine those rails!

Awesome !!

The 100 day milestone !! TY Totem - love those daily updates dude !! CHEERS !!

Update to my eBay ticket post...

Well, the dude replied to my emailed questions with the simple words: "Good luck" Then I replied asking, "So that mean you opt out in answering my questions?" His reply: Correct. Not interested. See folks? Trust but verify. What a jackass. Hope some trusting head doesn't get taken for a ride.

@tfonts...Bouncing Emails

Sorry about the bouncing Emails...mailbox was a LITTLE full (not emptied since, like, 2012). We're all good now! Oh, and BTW, thanks for the Ebay information. Trust but verify... So awesome that an already-difficult situation has to be made even harder. Have a good day, All!

Ebay Scum not answering questions..

I will send that ebay seller lakedrive101 the following message. ======== I believe you may be violating the Illinois scalper law with this post. Here is your post. ebay.. whatever link to post Here is the law. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=094-0020 Included is a screenshot of your post. I will forward to the authorities to see if they want to take action, I may also pursue legal action on my own. If you feel you have not violated the law, then please provide me with the details required by the law. Such details may include your name, toll free phone number for complaints, proof of bond, refund policy etc. Thanks

Hello, I must be going !!

hello, hello !! sorry to be so absent, but work is in-freakin'-sane right now. Keeping up with the e-mail correspondence, and all my duties fulfilled, so far. 100 days and counting !! (maybe totem oughta change his handle to LittleRedRooster :-) ?)

Ebay reseller

I also reported it to ebay as a fraudulent item. If they get back to me I will let them know that the seller does not have the item he is selling and is selling speculation.

Ebay standards of professional conduct

Ebay prohibits selling items that you do not have in your possesion. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/event-tickets.html They say "I agree not to sell .. tickets that I do not have in my possesion"

SSDers group: crazy crazy night, and week

SSDers...I probably owe you information or something...it has been a crazy several days, both professionally and personally. I see there are dozens of unopened emails in my inbox, which I won't get to until probably at least tonight. I am not this unresponsive as a rule..if there is anything critical needed from me now, please poke me.

@KristineD

So glad you made...wtf where'd you go?:-)

@mkav

You were supposed to be getting tickets for all of us ticketless bastards, where you been? :)

@red

Maybe selling his plasma for the jack to buy those ducats..... Just kidding mkav.... When things settle down, your seat at the bonfire awaits....

seeing red :)

if i had the world to give...

Mkav

You are funny...like a clown, maybe not Klangstone, but funny nonetheless. So glad you made it back here....

DSO July 2/3 in Chicago

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.

DSO, which leads me to the next question

How many estimated-Eyes a day is too many? Closure is good. I'd rather go get a slice or be a monkey on ecstasy. moe anyone? moe might just be the right counter-balance after a long day of Dead.

On other activities

Totem and Family: Anyone want to make a list somewhere? Moe Grateful Ball After Fare Dark Star Talking Pink Fish ....

Chandra...

Did I get it right.....there is no us....as in Sunshine Daydreamers...without u...My best way to apologize for misspelling a sisters name.... My plan is dead x3 and explore other musical and artistic scenes, while all those are excellent options.... No one does it better than the Dead! Stella STELLA....love to say that.

@Stella

It's PinkTalking Fish.... Sorry I got OCD ;-)

other stuff

Stella, Funny you say that. I was making a table of after shows at work today, uh, during a break, I planned to send out I left it on my work laptop, but I can send it out early tomorrow for inputs. Sound good?

Right on!

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.

Dark Star

Hey now! Sorry I went dark on you guys. Been interviewing for jobs and had a big one to prepare for. My husband would like me to continue to support the lifestyle he has become accustomed to... How can I help?

@Geek

We are all SO GLAD YOU MADE IT!!!!!!!!! Welcome sister and settle down easy!

DSO

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?

Thursday night in Chicago - 7/2/15

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.
