    It was a real treat hanging with you as well in SC, at the picnic and especially on that super special and crazy wild night that was July 4. Great times, I could not stop smiling and laughing and grinning and feeling super special the entire time in Chicago. That Saturday night was a wild ride for sure, so many memories and special moments!!!! I know I keep repeating myself about the colossal spectacle that was FTW, but it's so hard to stop gushing over this spectacular event.

    I'll post more of my thoughts on the weekend next week, as I am slammed in the mines right now (a small price to pay for five out of nine)! However, I wanted to add a tidbit to Mike's great narrative. I was fortunate enough to run into the Klangmeister by the gate before Saturday's show (one-in-70K chance?) and he was getting his space together before going in. As he related his plan of attack and as I admired his sense of curiosity and abandon, I knew that 24 hours later he would have some absolutely fantastic tales to tell. As I pondered his imminent departure to realms unknown, he suddenly pointed to the grassy incline with an overpass and wandering Deadheads..."I need to get up there"...and with a flash, our esteemed Mayor was off and running, armed with an open mind and a less-than-empty pocket. I'm glad I got to share that moment, Mike, and am even more glad that subsequent events met or exceeded your expectations.

    Hanky over here please! Klang- I echo your sentiments on the pic a nic and the shows. I was also slightly hung over at the pic a nic since we were camping the night before and listening to the concert on Sirius... the drinks were goin down easy. Thank you Klang and everyone who helped to prepare for the pic a nic, it was a blast and wish it could've last just a little longer...It was really great to meet everyone and I agree that it was like we had known each other forever. The shows were more than I could've ever imagined. the best time of my life! I danced like I was 17 again with no inhibitions. I didn't drink a drop of liquor during the shows Sat or Sunday but I was in such an altered state with the lights and music. I broke down during standing on the moon but managed to keep it together for the last show. Afterwards though it was hard... I got just a taste of the life/family/community/vibe/magic/electricity of the Dead and now it's over... Is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...why yes but it still hurts. Klang, if your brother lives in STL then you have 2 reasons to come here! Meet me in Saint Louis! We'll show you a good time...and anyone else who would like to visit Matt and I in the city of Blues. I'll be brivin da dus but I need a road companion, someone to ride shotgun...or I might fall asleep at the wheel. (peace love unity respect) PLUR!!!!

    Great comments, Sir Klangster. Thanks for taking on the duties and all over the past months....for all you did, are doing, and will do. It has been a wonderful ride, and it ain't over. Sure, you don't need to sit in at all the public hearings, take those calls in the middle of the night about the chuck-hole in front of Martha'smailbox, or officiate on Proclamation Tuesday, but don't stow that gavel just yet. We need our Mayor Emeritus available for ribbon cutting ceremonies in our Sunshine Museum, for the dunk booth at the Daydream Fair in August, and the Beautiful Baby Contest organizers are looking for the perfect person to anchor their judges panel. All kidding aside, your reflections are spot on and covered a bunch of what was on my mind. Thank you for taking the time to put it out there on our corner of the internet universe. Da Bus is idling just fine. The new sunshine solar engine puts out no fumes, and is green friendly. It'll run forever. Hope to see you here and there, and don't forget we gotta populate our new town, www.sunshinedaydreamers.com. Might need a mayor there...see the ring? Got a Hat? Toss it in! geofriendsdon'tletfriendsretiremeister

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!!!! -- Tom

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.

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....

...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.

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....

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

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 :-) -- Tom
