(Stay drunk all the time) Aw c'mon, don't y'all be like that Come home last night All a lush Baby get in a fuss I say, "Honey, hush" I don't care What the people are thinkin' I ain't drunk I'm just drinkin'

@Here comes the weekend....

Coffee is on.... When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name

Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn Cow moo this morning, just be boo day You better come and get it because we gonna give it away We're gonna give a little milk and give a little cream We've got the best that you have ever seen Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn We're gonna give a little birdie a little margarine And when you get that note you'll be pleased We're going down the pasture into the woods We're gonna get a little something that's mighty good Last night I heard papa and the mama say You better stop her before she give it all away If you want a good steak come and go with me I know a place to get the best that you have ever seen Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn But when you've heard this song you'll be mad at me I'm just talking about a little milk and cream I'm just talking about a little milk and cream I'm just talking about a little milk and cream

PWI = DWI

(Posting while in.... whatever.) Who the f*ck decided the caps-lock key didn't have to stay DOWN anymore. Any road, business upheavals continue, and I'm the last f'ng man standing. Blame it on the partner that suggested wine at 4:00 p.m. Who the HELL in their right mind wants to be a partner? Miss you guys... rgr, how the hell can you miss someone you met for maybe, 30 seconds? Where the hell were you when I was so much older then than now? Cosmic fuck up, if ya' ask me.

daydream believer, not!

Oh I could hide 'neath the wingsOf the blue bird as she sings The six-o'clock alarm would never ring But six rings and I rise Wipe the sleep out of my eyes The shaving razor's cold and it stings Cheer up sleepy Jean Oh what can it mean to a Daydream believer and a Homecoming queen You once thought of me As a white knight on his steed Now you know how happy I can be Oh, our good times start and end Without all I want to spend But how much baby do we really need Cheer up sleepy Jean Oh what can it mean to a Daydream believer and a Homecoming queen

@ Daydream Believer

Until we meet again... Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart Good Night

@I'm a believer.....

I leave you with this little ditty..... As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song, And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along. There is no doubt about the words are clear, The voice is strong, is oh so strong. I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day. A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away, There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you. All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love, All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love. Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah. I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am, I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man, One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can. Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride, People go and people come, see my rider right by my side, It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run. G'Night Miami.....

@ Never believe it's not so...

In this world, if you read the papers, Lord, You know everybody's fighting on with each other. You got no one you can count on, baby, Not even your own brother. So if someone comes along, He's gonna give you some love and affection I'd say get it while you can, yeah! Honey, get it while you can, Hey, hey, get it while you can, Don't you turn your back on love, no, no! Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby, You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow, But then who cares, baby, 'Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no. And if anybody should come along, He gonna give you any love and affection, I'd say get it while you can, yeah! Hey, hey, get it while you can, Hey, hey, get it while you can. Don't you turn your back on love, No no no, no no no no no. Oh, get it while you can, Honey get it when you're gonna wanna need it dear, yeah yeah, Hey hey, get it while you can, Don't you turn your back on love, No no no, no no no no, get it while you can, I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear, Hey hey, hold on to that man's heart, Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it, Get it, want it, need it, hold it, Get it while you can, yeah, Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah, Hey hey, get it while you can!

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.
