    You can check out anytime you like...but you can NEVER leave! I saw similar acts of kindness among deadheads. I witnessed a couple of guys carrying a girls wheelchair down the stairs and someone else was carrying her! I really dont think you could have that many people that weren't deadheads in one space without having utter chaos. Remeber people being trampled to death at other rock shows... Chaos and rioting after sporting events... Not at a dead show! We take care of our own. We are true Americans! We are the most humane humans there are! PROUD TO BE A DEADHEAD!

    marye, that was a beautiful read....I saw Bobby's guitar....Said to my wife...bet that goes for $10 grand... She looked at me and said...no! Half a million....at least.... ....it ain't me, it's the people that say..... smarter than the man in every way! Our community goes much deeper than music, it's spirit, family, oneness, and helping....leaving Soldier Field each night....And I got a bum leg...and..that place is NOT handicapped accessible in the classic sense, don't know how they stay open... likely took 6 months off my lifespan limping my 2 miles to the shuttle to the hotel but I'd do it again in a heartbeat, the final night I saw 4 heads, carrying a guy in his wheelchair thru the crowd....made me cry.....if there were more people like us, the world would be a happier place.... Back on ba dus....bring on Ratdog with John Mayer....so what if his body is a wonderland? ;-) every time I think I'm out....they pull me back in!

    rrrgrrr, I love confusing people at work! When my supervisor found out I was going to the shows, she was like wow, I never pegged you for a Dead head. I guess you never can tell... It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city

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

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.
