By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
I am here, now, just like Ram Das said..
Hi you all,
I am here, I am reading but every time I go to post I start to ramble, then I wander and then I get distracted so I come back to an hour old post and I never click "post"
So this will be short yet hopefully I will actually post it :-)
I love the rggrrrr suppers ready stuff, makes me want to go see Steve Hackett from Genesis.
Phil is playing with my favorite non-hippie guitarist Bill Frissel on April 22 or something. Bill Frisell is really something he plays big fat melodic notes and makes great use of pauses and space. Check him out, my favorite is "good dog happy man" but his John Lennon tribute is pretty wonderful.
If I lived in Cali (hint hint to Klang, I would go to that show at TRX) I nearly went for it myself, the flight was $350, the car rental out of SFO would be brutal, and to visit Marin, or point Reyes or drive through Napa would be wonderful. My patient wife could only make a 3 day trip out of it, so the 10 hours or more in travel each way made the trip seem way to brutal. You do not rush a visit to Marin. Madness and adventure is fine, but it is way more relaxing when you have all the time in the world with no pressure except the next show.
Anyhow, I am trying to quit obsessing on this thing and enjoy the spring. Things will most certainly work out.
I am lucky that the experience of tour has helped create the courage in me to follow a path that has led me to an opportunity to do at least some of this 50 year celebration. Whatever burdens I have taken on they seem to be out of my way for a stretch of time. woo Hoo for that !!!
So with a positive vibe I may try to spend less than 2 hours a day searching for tickets, hoping for news and all of that.
See some of you at Dear Jerry..
Yeow!!!!

@gods of Magog
Hey you...yeah you stop swarming around...back on the path....
Ya know Fred...gotta keep them on the path!
At a honky tonk...guess Jerry was wrong...found one open on Palm Sunday
Rock on children
Got to keep them on the path
Rggggrrrr and tfonts are good at keeping things on the path.
That is good.. I like that path.
the thing about 9/8 is it is impossible to march to, and that is what I like about it. Keeps you moving, but not in a very regimented way..
Everyone else excuse the madness, or get used to it.. it is all good madness.
Good morning campers....
Welcome to the working week!
Grab some coffee, Tim Horton dark roast freshly ground....
Again some tea available...
Freshly made oatmeal brown sugar pancakes with strawberries n peaches as well....
Off to the salt mines....
Ready Sneezy, Sleepy, Grumpy, I mean Fred, and oh yeah, anybody see my little red rooster....

@ rrrrrgrrrrrrr
was that varmint stew road kill, or did you waste a bullet? and is there any left? I'm hungry
hey boo boo...
Still serving up breakfast, tip jar in corner, I'd appreciate it, been slaving in this hot virtual kitchen, a Canadian chick offered to throw something in the jar but when I realized what the exchange rate was I gave it back along with $2 out of own pocket....
;-)
Sabres Leafs tomorrow night...
I speak for all Buffalo hockey fans when I say
go Leafs go
we lose the last 6 we get the first draft pick....
every time I watch a game this year, I start humming...
If I had a gun for every Ace I've drawn....
check back around 4:30 est, should have an idea worked out for shrimp and scallop stir fry....if you don't dig seafood, brother Louie has some falafel wraps with tahini....
Chi-ashbury, or Chi-stock, or something
I just saw a list of all the after shows and before shows,and then I got an email for a steve kimock Jerry tribute at house of blues.
Chicago is going to be a total flashback freak scene..
Totally neat...
No worrries
the sabers are up to it, no problem. I can see why you returned the loonies, eh, can you even exchange them for Molson's anymore? RIT lost last night in the hockey version of the eliete eight after dispatching #1 the day before, it is tough being a sports fan in WNY...still hunting tickets, if I enconter any varmint, I'll bag em for lunch tomorrow.
Re no worries...
Remember boo boo
got to keep the loonies on the path....

Footnote.....if you don't get it.....not my problem yo......

Hey T.....

The Blessing
...as Jerry most succinctly put it...
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men....
We do pause before this meal to give thanks for all that is right with the world, to ask protection to all who feel threatened, to ask for strength for all who feel weak and to ask for success for all searching for tickets or their way...
...above all, we pause to give thanks for our family, friends, and din-din's everywhere....
So Be it, and Let's Eat.
@the phantom of the opera...
Boooooooyeahhhh!,,,,
SUPPER IS READY.....
Thanks brah....

Scary how etched in one's brain that childhood stuff gets. Steak & taters here tonight. Blessing all!
The menu...
Kristine D - one can NEVER to wrong with steak & taters. Yum. But were the taters "tots?"
Me? Typical guy - will eat anything. Thank God my wife cooks and feeds me. We had a nice home made shrimp salad with avocado, roasted nuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, and who knows what else in there...some blue cheese dressing and a few Club crackers - BINGO !!
Still though, no tots...
@Kristine D

Got to keep them on the path right Foggy?
@ rgergelis
Aka is correct!
Indeed I'm looking forward to tasty wine & good company!
@mama cass....
welcome to our virtual world...we are one in spirit and direction. It's easy to get lost and go astray, we have no shepherds here only guides, and even the guides wander off at times. It will all become clear to us all as we go a little Furthur....cuz we ALL want to get here together, where you ask? Don't, even the most seasoned travelers are unclear....one thing is for sure....if you can see a path, stay as close to it as possible, For aI'm done herding sheep...or kittens or heads, getting too old for that gig, but if you see a buss top, stay near by or remember where it is...cause there's quite a trip to be had....
Hey I think I hear Eric Burdon....spill the wine....
Don't worry there's plenty more where that came from.....
Check out the boys singing round the fire.....
Off to get some shut eye.....working on the breakfast menu for tomorrow,
Recommendations graciously accepted....
*big sigh*
go-live day (at risk of jinx, went off w/o a freakin' hitch!!), so my wonderful hubby cooked for me. Medium rare NY strip on the grill. Creamy, buttery mashed w/sautéed 'shrooms & gravy. Corn and salad. A nice, big busty red. There are some things in the universe that are perfect.
I am almost always on the path right foggy ...
Just got back from a run
I packed on a few pounds in the last week after reading these posts. Yum.
Giving Thanks
To all who keep the home-hearths burning, while I go out to hunt *and* gather. Proud and grateful traveler here!

Tickets Will Get Cheaper By The Dozen
Tickets will get cheaper by the dozen, don’t succumb to these scalper scumbags.
Stub Hub Quick Analysis
Notes I hand wrote down on each date:
Mar 7 Mar 31
Friday 1611 1769
Saturday 1578 1786
Sunday 1407 1620
3 Day 829 847
Total 5425 6022
That is 597 more tickets now which is an 11% increase in the past 23 days. I honestly thought the number would have gone down in this time frame when I first wrote down the number back on March 7.
I have also seen for example 2x3 day passes directly behind the stage go from over $3000 on 3 occasions several weeks back, to many now selling well below $2000. Lowest sold for $1615. 2 such passes end today in 14 hours from now and both have highest bid less than $1250 right now.
Don’t sweat getting tickets, they will be plentiful and much cheaper as time passes. All tickets, not just behind the stage will drop!!
Cheers
Greg
@ Greg...While your here...
Have a cup of Joe...
And I second that emotion...scalper prices will drop...
BTW peeps...Stones US tour dates announced....left coast in SD right coast Buffalo and points in between
@uncle rggg

To all tax paying citizens, green card carrying folk and those two living in the cardboard box under the trestle.
I hereby welcome to the Land of the Lost, aka Sunshine Daydreamers aka the place that houses Dead Space.....
KLANGSTONE....
where are you?
drumroll...
Ahh, crap, I gotta go if anyone sees a clown around these parts wearing a Giants cap....you know how to reach me.....
You know you are getting old...
You know you are getting old when..
Club seats with an obstructed view sound great because they have padded seats !
Behind the stage looks great because it will not be crowded !!
The hilton seems like a nice place to end the day, instead of the days of not letting the day end at all.
You plan a picnic instead of a party ;-)
Enough for me.. time for nap :-)
