    Gergelis, you crack me up everyday. My office neighbors must hear my laughing through the walls. Well, quite a few of we biologists are GD lovers so they understand. They know I'm cracked. LOL! Yah, we all need some flexibility and knowing that we all are doing the best that we can as we travel through this land. Like I eluded to yesterday, some sweet Viking mamas or Egyptian goddesses might delay my arrival to said picnic. I did a Google ruler measurement. It's between 0.5-0.6 miles from the museum to the super secret picnic location. Watch out for them teddy bears trying to get on the dus.

    ba dus is on autopilot and will stop for stray cats, dogs and heads... appreciate the well wishes Totes, and hope you're correct... re. High noon....time is relative and always has been, Totes, Lainie Bear and I will be at the museum in the morning....and after pic a nic.... However we need a window of arrival time, to expect every camper to be there for a photo op at exactly high noon is risky at best....and lacks necessary wiggle room and fluidity.... busy city busy weekend and people from all over....walking, biking, cabbing, ubering, crawling and limping there... Provided tickets are in hand Elaine and I will be there....Scott and Rosalie are a lock.... Hey look it's Brian Setzer....gotta slow down....hop on...there's a seat next to Fester....grab some coffee... you got something to say? The floor is all yours..... Well, we're having a ball just a-bopping on the big dance floor Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974 Well-ell, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice Look at me again and there's a-gonna be fight We're gonna rock this town We're gonna rip this place apart We're gonna rock this town Rock it inside out We're gonna rock this town Make 'em scream and shout Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock We're gonna rock till we pop We're gonna rock till we drop We're gonna rock this town Rock this place apart after reading back the lyrics...not the best choice of song...let's try Stray Cat Shuffle....it's the bees knees....

    Field Museum Important Info for Saturday
    Am I allowed to leave The Field Museum and come back later? Yes, if you come back on the same day and have your tickets handy. So you can leave the museum, make the Pik-A-Nik for lunch, and return to the Museum if so your pleasure tends. I am geeky, so I will be at the museum most of the morning, picnicteer, then return to the museum for some jazzy Dead and Archive/ GDTS exhibit. It's all in the same area (museum is about 1/2 mile from the picnic). For those that missed the ticket link yesterday, there is a link to the event below. Everything is Dead at The Field Museum All The Years Combine: Deadhead Treasures From The Grateful Dead Archive & GDTS Too Drawing on the extensive collection of the band’s own archive, All The Years Combine: Deadhead Treasures From The Grateful Dead Archive & GDTS Too features material from every part of the Grateful Dead’s career that document the special bond between the Grateful Dead family and their family of fans. Visitors will have the opportunity to see band and fan correspondence, decorated ticket request envelopes, newsletters, drawings, posters, tickets, backstage passes, and fan-made concert tapes. Jazz & Colors: Wave That Flag July 4, 12:30pm – 3pm, performances throughout the Museum, included with admission Following the success of Jazz & Colors in New York’s Central Park and Jazz & Colors: The Masterworks Edition at the acclaimed Metropolitan Museum of Art, Jazz & Colors comes to Chicago’s Field Museum with a more focused and intimate experience. Jazz & Colors: Wave That Flag will feature local jazz musicians performing in various parts of the Museum taking on the songbook of the Grateful Dead for two sets of music on Saturday, July 4th. Jazz & Colors is a co-production of The Field Museum and the promoters and performers of Fare Thee Well. http://www.fieldmuseum.org/at-the-field/programs/everything-dead-field-…

    "Watch out for that tree"...
    said tyhe cat in the hat in the back.... Fine job of steering da dus, rgrrrgrr, and taking those curves at just the right speed. Tis quite a shiny badge you've got there... I like the steelie face logo and Captain Rich tag. Anyone catch the Smithsonian Channel's Aerial America last night? It featured Illinois, and had several majestic aerial flights over Chicago. I was hoping they would fly over Buckingham Fountain, and sure enough they did...the area for our meet-up just to the SE of the fountain loomed right up large in my screen. The trees looked a bit shaggy, the lawn green, and my heart skipped a beat at the vision of deadheads everywhere converging on that area in a couple of short weeks....here is the link, etc: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/aerial-america/illinois/701/340… As we get closer to our destinations...rggrrgr promised to drive a bit more slowly (right!) or at least slow enough for the deadheads along the way to get on...as we approach California, there may be a sea of people around us...make sure you wave and say high to them... Matter of fact, practice smiling and greeting your neighbors today, here on this ride, at home in your hood, and elsewhere as the opportunities arise. You never know who is needing that special twinkle and smile and you may have one at the perfect time. Make a difference today friends if you can, and if that isn't in the cards, help someone who is. To each and all, the skies are yellow and the sun is blue...I hear music around the next bend...how 'bout some cookies and milk everyone. geolikescookiesandmilkandmusicandsmilesandwavesandpeacemeister

Can we put rgggrrrrr at the wheel of the ship/car/bus/train ? Either one of those vehicles or all of them at once, I think he can handle it. I would feel all at once safer and immensely frightened (how do you say it a scary sort of safe) knowing that he could spin us out of Never Never land and over the rainbow and off to willow farm without missing a beat or without missing, 9, 11, or 7 beats depending. -- Tom

I'm just saying' rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr promised some sort of welcome AFTER I arrived. So I'm late, but at least I made it. No welcome whatsoever. What's a resigned and reinstated mayor supposed to think of this? (Too tedious to go back through previous posts unless someone points me to which page.)

Here is what you do: 1) Go to edit, insert passwod, and check the box "delete picture". Hit save; 2) Log out; leave the page totally, leave dead.net (I know, it hurts, but relax); 3) Log back in, note that there is no picture, you are merely a shadow of your former self; 4) Continue messing around, with no picture, do this for a day or so; 5) Go back to your account, log in and choose new picture. Hit save; That should get you your new/old avatar back. The point is that you have to let dead.net relax a couple of days after making a change, before hitting him with a new change. He is elderly and set in his ways, and he has to get used to the idea you messed with him. It'll be ok, honest. ciao- geofredpoobahmeister

I second that, rrrrrgrrrrr, and want to wish all SD'ers where applicable, a blessed Good Friday, and a joyous Passover or Easter. I'm on business travel next week out the the left coast (SFO) but as always, checking mail. BTW, rrrrrgrrrrr, I believe Totem is out of pocket for a few days on a camping trip. But it is 4/3 today and the first show is 7/3 so that's an easy one for us :-) Cheers everyone !!

Our beloved Mayor Klangstone has been detected, selected and elected on two occasions. He has also been corrected many times. He is the only mayor we have ever known. The infamous Rob Ford received honorable mention once or twice, but Mayor Klangstone was obviously far more colorful.
