    These last few days... first SCOTUS comes through <3 Then CHI tickets arrive finally then an amazing sunset at work. And of course yesterday with Rainbow Clouds on the way to Santa Clara, and then actual DEW from the sky - and tonight... He's Gone always gets me... and that cute little bow at the end. :') And both the girls on either side of me got to hear the ONE song they each were hoping to hear.... SIGH/Chills/Happiness/Gratitude/I can't believe how magic it always is... Oh boy I feel it all. I am emotionally stable. Emphasis on the "emotionally." Me, Uncle? For a while now... Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful... I like that Mickey. SINCERE <3 Sorry I missed you Tami. Got my hug from Greg2 and dear Gob showed sis 'n me the way to Shakedown :) Winding down in Marriottland. I ain't ready yet, to go to bed Think I'll take a walk downtown instead xoxo

    On the shuttle back to my room. Missed the organized chaos yesterday and instead walked one hour in the urban landscape in the wrong direction. Chased down a cab. Today we bee lined to our way post encore tears to the bus but it is not "ba dus" . Sleepy deadheads around me. Scent of red rose and Mandarin citrus courtesy of my cid package. Craving grilled cheese and ipa. But stuffed myself nuf full of memories, and released enough cathartic emotions to make this leg of the tour the finale non parallel. But chugging forward to chitown... Hope to meet you all and celebrate our homecoming together! Coxoxo

Just sold, 3-day obstructed view pass for $900. Not sure if it was a legit ticket or not, but none-the-less prices are still dropping.

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....

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.

...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....

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 ...

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
