@ Trivia

I dont really know but I would venture to guess it has to do with syringes? Or small scooters? I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out. I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

@we have a winner!!!!!

Marley has always been sublime....not a bad song in the catalog.... Mr Peter MacIntosh is no slouch either as you pointed out earlier in this journey.....why do they have to die too soon? If it's love that you're running from There is no hiding place Just your problems, no one else's problems Could just have to face If you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind We're gonna walk and don't look back Gonna walk and don't look back Now if your first love has let you down There's something can be done Don't you have your faith in love Remembering what been gone So if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind Gonna walk and don't look back We're gonna walk and don't look back If you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind We're gonna walk and don't look back Gonna walk and don't look back Places behind you There to remind you If your first love have broke your heart There's something can be done Don't have your faith in love Remembering what's been gone But if you just put your hand in mine We're gonna lay all our troubles behind Gonna walk and don't look back We're gonna walk and don't look back

10cc's

it's a measure, but I ain't gonna say of what. Stir it up is one of my all-time favorites. Ranks in one of my top-10 sexy songs (as long as we're on topic.) Your recipe, darlin', is so tasty! food references in music are sexy, 99.99% of the time. The other .01% is reserved for Weird Al.

@stirring it up?????

An obscure little ditty....and yes the women are smarter...smarter than the man in every way..... I treat you like a woman So treat me like a man I took you to a better place And helped you understand So don't squeeze me like toothpaste Like putty in your hands I'm gonna go away, I'm gonna blow away A woman is a woman And a man is just a fool It takes all of the heartaches And life can be so cruel Who's gonna be there when the morning comes? Head on the pillow, smiling at me I get up and make the coffee It must be love, it must be love Who's gonna be there when the morning comes? Head on the pillow, smiling at me I get up and make the coffee It must be love, it must be love I treat you like a woman So treat me like a man I took you to a better place And helped you understand Trivia question: What is the significance (referential meaning) of the band name 10cc????

goodbye, stranger

I was walkin' down the streetConcentratin' on truckin' right I heard a dark voice beside of me And I looked round in a state of fright I saw four faces one mad A brother from the gutter They looked me up and down a bit And turned to each other I say I don't like cricket oh no I love it I don't like cricket no no I love it Don't you walk thru' my words You got to show some respect Don't you walk thru' my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet. Well he looked down at my silver chain He said I'll give you one dollar I said you've got to be jokin' man It was a present from me mother He said I like it I want it I'll take it off your hands And you'll be sorry you crossed me You'd better understand that you're alone A long way from home. And I say I don't like reggae no no I love it I don't like regaae I love it Don't you cramp me style Don't you queer me pitch Don't you walk thru' my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet. I hurried back to the swimming pool Sinkin' Pena Calarda I heard a dark voice beside me say Would you like something harder She said I've got it you want it My harvest is the best And it you try it you'll like it And whollow in a Dreadlock Holyday. And I say Don't like Jamaica oh no I love her Don't like Jamaica oh no I love her oh yea Don't you walk thru' her words You got to show some respect Don't you walk thru' her words 'Cause you ain't heard her out yet. I don't like cricket I love it Dreadlock Holiday I don't like reggae I love it Dreadlock Holiday Don't like Jamaica I love her Dreadlock Holiday.

California Zephyr Travel Advisory-July 2015

Notice is hereby given that this train may be subject to stopping in a small desert town and boarding two east bound tye-dyed passengers. If you should witness this, it is your responsibilty to report it immediately to the Monkey and the Engineer. This advisory is lifted for all destinations east of Chicago.

Okay, Can I Just Ask?

I know this is a bizarre question since most of us are STILL Chicago orphans...but is anyone considering a trek out to Cali at the end of June if the "official" announcement is made??? Just wondering since there is so much time, effort, positive energy, etc., put into our Chicago soiree...that's where I want to be...but I'm just thinking...might be a fun trip, too? I mean, when is going to California ever a bad thing? Totally asking too much, right?

cali too?

Sadly, not me. Can't swing the time nor $ for both.

Re: California trip

Yes ASL, I'll be treking to the California shows. Though it's only a 45 minute trek for me :) Now to hope that there are any shows :)

The West Coast Chapter of the Sunshine Daydreamers

Has a nice ring to it...having their first Chapter meeting!

Okay, Red...

45 minutes - we could probably all crawl that far! I really hope it happens for you guys out There. Would so love an excuse to go back, but the Midwest beckons...

Re: California trip

I had a hotel res at the Hilton in Santa Clara (literally adjacent to the parking lot of Levi's) but cancelled it yesterday. To have seen the look on my wife's face when I suggested a second Dead sojourn to compliment Chicago, well, let's just say a man knows when and when not to bark up a tree... I have a personal relationship with a Sr. Executive of a very large company HQ'ed down the street from the stadium. His company has a super-box there and we've already been in communication re the show and getting me some tickets. I think it seats 20. Absolutely zero guarantees, but if the shows are announced, I do believe I can/should be able to proxy some tix to our SD family here. They won't be comped, but guarantee won't be scalped. If anyone has a potential interest, please drop me an e-mail (not a PM here) with the subject line "Santa Clara tickets." This would classify as a "miracle" but hey now, it's still worth a shot :-)

@tfonts

Suite tickets are awesome. Use to run Suites at MSG NYC. Remember very pricey. Around $600 per plus. Have to say the best way to see any show or event. Peace out.........

Divvy Bikes

Has anyone mentioned these yet? http://www.divvybikes.com I haven't used them myself, yet, but I plan to. Divvy Bikes offer bike rentals with stations all over town. You buy a 24 hour pass for $7, that allows you pick up a bike at one place, ride it to where you want to go, and drop it off when you get there. For as many 30-minute trips in a day as you wish. So, for less than $25 bucks, you've got wheels for the entire weekend! From their web site: Divvy is a new bike sharing system featuring thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations from Andersonville to Hyde Park, available 24/7, 365 days a year. Each station has a touchscreen kiosk, station map, and a docking system that releases bikes using a member key or ride code. Sounds perfect for getting around town in July.

When Your Rooster Crows At the Break of Dawn...

....I'll be in Chicago bitches!. WooHooo, only 98 days until Showtime! Patch those sails and follow the trails!

Suite over Pit?

re: Divvy Bikes

Thanks, KristineD - that's a great idea and post. I've seen those in NYC and d'town SF too. Cool concept. For the Touch of Gray "senior" heads like me, who's bodies have taken a pounding over years of self-neglect and extreme abuse, well, Uber to the rescue baby !!!

Okay, Can I Just Ask?

I plan on going to California if I can get tickets. I already made a hotel reservation close by and have frequent flyer miles to use to get out there. Just have to see how hard tickets are to get. Steve

SF hills

Just the idea of pedaling up a SF hill makes my butt hurt.

@steve

So glad you made it, coffee is on have a cup...

Hotel Reservation Wanted

Hi All, I am looking for an oppertunity to get a room closer to Soldier Field and/or Union Station. Someone posted that they had extra reservations they made right after the shows were announced. Interested in reservations that are either closer or easily accessed by CTA bus or train. Don't mind short travel, just looking to leave the driving to someone else. I can transfer reservation to my name and plastic card. PM me if you can help. Thanks

Indiana wants me, but i won't go back there...

In light of the recent passage of the so-called "Religious Liberty" law in Indiana -- please give some thought as to whether or not you want to spend your money there. Thanks. (ha -- maybe, instead, I should have said "In darkness of the recent passage...")

@ k_koerwitz009@c...

Welcome, Kurt!! Although I'm not the official welcomer... He'll greet you soon I'm sure :-)

@Kurt

Sorry T, burritos burnt, made enchiladas instead, with green chili... Damn tasty.. Got distracted there... So Kurt you are here.....So glad you made it.....!!!! Have an enchilada, got dos Equis Amber in the cooler, paid outta pocket, Poobah's runnin low on change, heard he pawned his walker today for some polygrip.....

Hey now Grace...let's slow it down a bit

I'm quite old fashioned... depends on the mood I'm in...and whose ear I'm whispering in... Know what I mean? In the meantime grab some grub and help yourself to a cerveza mas frio! But at the end of the day in Chicago it's gonna be Love fest for all who venture.... They call me..... rrrrrgrrrrr

Wow, I was watching this bad boy and had emailed the seller 2x but never received a reply (I wanted a lower price). Two PL'1's (the $214.50 lower bowl seats) closed and sold for $1,825. Do the math, $912.50 a pop - ouch! http://www.ebay.com/itm/251889009484?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPag… This same seller has two other similar PL-1 postings for Sat and Sun, FYI: Sat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grateful-Dead-July-4-Mail-Order-Fantastic-Seats… Sun: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251889018079?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPag… G'luck, peeps !!
