    Post Chicago SD???
    No way, Stella - ain't happening. We'll always have and forever be the SD'ers. Next time Bobby in whatever iteration comes down here to So Fla, you're all invited down. Plenty of room at the ranch. No reservation needed. We'll be dancing amongst the palm trees in our flip-flops, SD T's and tin foil hats baby !! BTW, it's Taco Tuesday here - who's hungry?

    Happy Birthday Anniversary and happy unbirthday to us all of the other days. We certainly have put a lot of mileage on this bus and by the time we "get there" we'll be experts (at being beginners). Today I'll have coffee before taking the wheel but the wheels know where we're going so... until then.... I'm trying to imagine post-CHI SD land. Silly? Where's my coffee.

    Happy birthday, deeeaaaarrrrrr uuuuuuuuhhhhuuuuuhhhs, happy birthday to us! All I ate this morning was a hard-boiled egg. No cake, no other culinary delights--so unDaydreamer-like. Fueled by delicious coffee and yolk, lol. Oh, well, all in the name of shining sails and patching rails at work. See you all around our third anniversary and I hope the honeymoon never ends . . . . PS - thanks again, Tom!

    Our Birthday!!!
    Just in from "Those Who Keep Track of Things Important" Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! We are one month old today!!! Yes, on March 21st, our fearless founder and seeker of truth, TFont, announced our new Name: The Sunshine Daydreamers! Here's his email from that fateful morning: "GROUP NAME: Well gang, nearly and I mean nearly ALL of you voted and the final tabulations are in. Right now, you can break out your 1973 release of the late, great Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name” on 45 (shit, I’m guessing there are folks here who weren’t even born in ’73 and may need an explanation as to what a “45" is? lol…). Anyway, I digress…or as we like to say in the Dead vernacular, I’m a Ramblin’ - sorry, Rose. So the vote was cast wide and deep. Reflective of our coast-to-coast and sea to shining sea group. We had, incredibly, 20 creative names to pick from (thanks, again, to all of you for that). And while the voting did indicate a critical mass around a few prospective names, the one undisputed leader and the one that received the most #1 votes (there were no ties here) was………modest snare drum roll now over-dubbed to that Croce classic you have spinning in the background: SUNSHINE DAYDREAMERS \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ Lift a glass, stand in front of a mirror and sing a selfie-toast, "We are the Daydreamers and we are one month old. We Miss Jerry but we will get by, because we are friends and the music never stopped." Then tuurn and take a bow, for you are Someone Who Counts. Take care one and all! geopartymeister

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

Klang is Rgggrrr's alter-ego. Beans spilled. Or rumor spread? Again, beware the meds and round-number hoarders. I got no dime (or your $20 bill) but I've got some time to hear your story.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
