    i don't understand this evil. i wonder what this will do to the very young, growing up in fear of these kinds of acts. i recall the atom bomb drills of the cold war when i was in elementary school, but we did not really understand what it was all about. there was no 24x7 CNN and other coverages, showing all the carnage. we knew the bomb was bad but we did not fully grasp the danger i think. the young kids today get to SEE it over and over. parents, grandparents, please hug and reassure the little ones.

    I am prepped and ready for my face to be melted clean off my head on 11/20. Caught a few glipses and musical interludes of last nights show...Hey Rich, you had a good spot! I have two extra seats for the Dead and Co in STL so unless someone comes out of the woodwork who wants them I am going to be seat hopping back and forth between club seats and section 110. And to the OD last night at Da Buff...learn to hold ur shit maaan...I wouldn't want to miss a second of the show.

    Another season of touring came to a close for me last night as the boys rocked da buff. Solid first set with an Althea just for Geeky, US Blues for the Veterans and an El Paso, just so Bobby could screw up the words, just exactly perfect. What a mess he made of that....in a good way.... The second set took off with a scorching viola Lee blues, courtesy of Mr. Mayer....btw...up close he looks nothing like Klangstone. Lainie Bear got her elusive wang dang doodle then a new speedway into dark star to truckin to dark star.....drums back to dark star a china doll, then our national anthem, sugar mags... Casey jones took us home safely..... One observed OD with paramedic assistance, some lightweight went to ground on the first verse of promised land...waste of a good pit ticket... This Dead and Company tour exceeded all my expectations and the vibe was more early 80s in the arenas than the FTW spectacle....that's a good thing....if you go be ready to have your face melted....

    I was really looking forward to Verizon Center, but also had just a little splather of skepticism going on... NOT ANYMORE. It was really incredible you guys! SOOOOO GOOD! If you're still on the fence - jump off and shake your bones at one of these shows. So bummed I can't make it to more - hoping there will be 2016 dates announced and that they'll come to Florida!! Happy Trails to all traveling! You won't be disappointed! - Anita

rrrrgrrrr, you reminded me of a wisecrack my classmate made back in the day when Alanis moved on from her Britney phase to boyfriend-bash rock. She said there's actually nothing ironic in Ironic--just replace the words with "isn't it a bummer?" Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but it sure makes me want to have a nice sammie with jarlsberg, avocado and sprouts!

Thanks for contributing the info on the suites. Been thinking lots about the possibilties. So which beers are on tap and what time does Scorsese show up to do lap dances? Guess it's a corporate write off for some? I'd rather dance with the mobs.

Some one wasn't going to win. It was awesome how Wisconsin took Kentucky out. Both teams were special. Now we wait to do it again next year. Being a Minnesota Viking fan since Bud Grant & Joe Kapp, I can relate to the frustrations of being a fan. As for pro football I finally devised a solution. Keep your true feelings secret. Buy A jersey for every team in the league and wear the one from which ever team wins the Super Bowl that year. Every year you get all the shout outs and high fives and none of the ribbing. Usually no one remembers you wore a different jersey last year.

Talk... this tricoastal gal (Oahu, Boston, Best Coast) loves that kind of talk! It's weird not being from just one place... Hawaii is my blood, bone, and heart, but I'm a nomad through and through. Hopefully I can lay me down back in the islands. Until then, the four winds have blown just so.

In 1986 Jerry was seen in a red t-shirt. He looked like Jerry Claus, or a big strawberry, depending how hungry and high you were. The little elves on stage were mischievous little devils.

Go find a pic of Jerry in that red t-shirt, man. Giddy-up now on that. Alrighty now - got another 3 1/2 hours to go here, I'm thinking it's movie time :-) Have a great day campers and camperettes !!

isn't the only place in the USofA to celebrate Dingus, Chi town has a huge Polish population... Dyngus (or Dingus) Day falls on the Monday after Easter. Started in Poland as a way to provide merriment after the seriousness of Lent comes to an end. The tradition began when farm boys in Poland wanted to attract notice from the girls of their choice. It was custom to throw water and hit the girls on their legs with twigs or pussywillows. Cologne was used instead of water by the more gallant lads. The ladies would reciprocate by throwing dishes & crockery and Tuesday was their day of revenge, imitating the same tactics.

Nice piece of history, growing up in NYC in a semi Polish household....I never heard of it....Moved to Buffalo, and after the first Easter , the following day.... I felt like Gregg Allman....tied to the Whipping Post....chained and bound....cute if not bizarre tradition.... Thanks for your Polish history insight.... maybe if I close my eyes and click my heels 3 times...I won't be Mt T anymore.... ....didn't work....
