Well, I've been walking behind you Since you've been able to see There's never been any reason For you to think about me Did you have any bad dreams? Did you break any glass? Would you be my companion Is there even a chance? You've been talking in circles Since I've been able to cry There's never been any reason For never telling me why, yeah, yeah Save my life I'm going down for the last time Woman with the sweet lovin' Better than a white line Bring a good feeling Ain't had in such a long time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Have you ever been lonely? Do you have any fun? Do you ever think of me? I'm just another one. You never give me no answer You never tell me the truth There's never been any reason For me to think about you, yeah There's never been any reason There's never been any reason There's never been any reason Save my life I'm going down for the last time Woman with the sweet lovin' Better than a white line Don't you know She could bring a good feeling Ain't had in such a long time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Save my life I'm going down for the last time Save my life I'm going down for the last time

@ Goodnight folks

It's party time, get your party favors and balloons ready. Party on Wayne, Party on Garth. Have a great birthday! You deserve it! People of the Earth can you hear me? Came a voice from the sky on that magical night And in the colors of a thousand sunsets They traveled through the world on a silvery light The people of the Earth stood waiting Watching as the ships came one by one Setting fire to the sky as they landed Carrying to the world children of the sun Children of the sun All at once came a sound from the inside Then a beam made of light hit the ground Everyone felt the sound of their heartbeat Every man, every woman, every child They passed the limits of imagination Through the doors to a world of another time And on the journey of a thousand lifetimes With the children of the sun, they started to climb Children of the sun, children of the sun No more gravity, nothing holding them down Floating endlessly as their ship leaves the ground Through the walls of time, at the speed of light Flies the crystal ships on their celestial flight (On their celestial flight) Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun Children of the sun, children of the sun

@Pleasure is my middle name.....

I really leave us all with these lyrics.... Read them, love them, live them..... One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream That all the people of the world got together On the same wavelength And began helping one another Now in this dream universal love was the theme of the day Peace and understanding and it happened this way The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces The tired and the homeless had family all around The streets and the cities were all beautiful places And the walls came tumblin' down People of the world all had it together Had it together for the boys and the girls And the children of the world look forward to a future Remember Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me The worst of enemies became the best of friends People of the world all had it together Had it together for the boys and the girls And the children of the world look forward to a future Remember Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away Remember that, remember that Remember that, remember that People of the world all had it together Had it together for the boys and the girls And the children of the world look forward to a future Remember Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away Remeber that Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people Time's tickin' away Synchronize your watches..... Mr. MD has left the building.......

@curse you woman.....

You didn't have to love me like you didBut you did, but you did. And I thank you. You didn't have to love me like you did But you did, but you did. And I thank you. But you took your love to someone else I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death You made me feel like I've never felt Kisses so good I had to holler for help You didn't have to squeeze it but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. You didn't have to hold it but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. Every day was something new, You put on your bag and your fine to-do You got me trying new things too Just so I can keep up with you. You didn't have to shake it but you did But you did but you did And I thank you. You didn't have to make it like you did but you did but you did And I thank you. All my life I've been shortchanged Without your love baby it's a crying shame But now I know what the fellas talking about Hear me say that they been turned out I want to thank you I want to thank you I want to thank you Yes, I want to thank you No shit, you helped keep the raft afloat....

@ Just find a place to make your stand

Back in the saddle. I feel the same way, just keep rollin on. It's hard to quit, I got a bad habit. I like the way your sparkling earrings lay, Against your skin, it's so brown. And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight With a billion stars all around. 'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling, And I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing on the ground. And I found out a long time ago What a woman can do to your soul. Oh, but she can't take you anyway, You don't already know how to go. And I got a peaceful easy feeling, And I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing on the ground. I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend. But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear, Tells me I may never see you again. 'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling And I know you won't let me down 'cause I'm already standing... I'm already standing... Yes, I'm already standing on the ground Oh, oh

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...

eBay GDTS TOO tickets

Hey now gang: Here's a new eBay listing for GDTS TOO tix, a pair, GA-Floor, for Friday 7/3. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grateful-Dead-Tickets-2-7-3-Soldier-Field-Gener… MadSwan, DrJeff and I scored on a six-pack of GDTS TOO GA-Floors yesterday, so it can be done. Cheers !!

@ KristineD

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 !!
