    Oof that's a bad day
    for Commander Cody. I'll bet at least 88% of us know what that's like. Every last thing... but these are better days. We have a place to be and Holly is gonna get us there. Uncle Rrrgrrr, did you figure out who bounced out the back? Maybe it was just that extra luggage we don't need no how - Bobloblaw's gonna teach us all how to travel light. Best for us, gas mileage, running from windows and this gorgeous planet. Be the light. But give me coffee first. <3

    Hey morning Stellz..... Philz on my doorstep....should have a pot of Silken Splendor on soon.... Hit it Pupper.... She keeps Moët et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake,' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild.. She's all out to get you She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try...

    Bob teaches us all we need to know about ourselves..."the simplest way to put it is, I have problems..." That whole movie is everything. I'm going to put my headphones on and watch it from the back here, is that okay? It's a bed coffee kind of morning anyway. One of my mothers went on a trek in Nepal and every morning the sherpas would bring her Bed Tea. BED TEA! Is that not the best? I tried to be good and was a tea-in-the-morning kind of gal for a lot of years. I will be again sometime, when the first outside-task of the day is working in the garden... until then, java in my cup! I like the feeling back here anyhow. Holly at the wheel. Sarge keeping an eye out for bumps. Everyone else singing, mumbling, or snoring away. Perfect way to step into the day. Bed Coffee.

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....

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.

...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
