    Tom - You know I love you man, but you have to be kidding. A bit sloppy? Most folks I know would call it theft. Sure the buyers didn't have to 'click' purchase. 400 level for 200 because that's what the market will bear? You'd have to be pretty heavily dosed to say they handled things 'pretty well'. This is the biggest cluster fuck (or the most brilliant) in the annals of modern concert promotion. Some people got some splaining to do. Now that I have that out of my system, lets's party! Peace, gob

    Yeah, they did they best they could considering the mess they caused in the first place. Hindsight is 20/20. Let's be real, the organization doesn't need praise, just understanding for trying to fix the biggest ticket fuck up in history. Tom, look up cluster-fuck in the dictionary, there' a picture of TM spinning wheel with the Dead50 logo on top. I love the Dead, but I'm not drinking that Kool Aid.

    Hurray for GD
    I just want to say that I think the GD organization is doing a pretty good job of handling this whole adventure. Sure just like Gimme Some Lovin when Brent fails to recognize the tune and fails to kick in the big organ intro, things got off to a rough start. Chicago was a mess, the demand was unexpected, seating charts re-written, behind the stage seating etc etc. But the boys learn from mistakes and things have gotten better, and I appreciate that. Bravo for handling Santa Clara well. For folks with Chicago tickets perhaps SC was an insult, but as someone who needed tickets at the time, Santa Clara was handled well. Friday release of tickets. Once again Dead Heads with the spirit to try one more time, it seems a subset of them were rewarded. Well done. GDTSTOO in general seems to have done well and when possible did the right thing. Sure today people are pissed about $200 tickets being in the upper tiers and that does seems a bit sloppy in hindsight. I think the choice they had to make was to give tickets or not give tickets. So the seating chart went out the window, but overall I think the band has had to fight with the venue, fight with TM to try and make things as good as they can for us. -- Tom

geopondermeister hit a home run. He's a masterful facilitator that always brings things back together and makes since of it all. Much like Sam Elliot's narration on the Big Lebowski. No one means to pee on The Dude's rug. It ties the room together.

I haven't been here for a while, but if the mayor is still Klang, he passed on the Dear Jerry tix as he was already offered them. The kind soul passed the gent with the extra onto me, I accepted and then life got in the way... Peace

not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon. KFOG Radio

Rough night last night, T-Horse kept hogging all the blankets. Shopping for a wagon as the sound system got too big for T-Horse. Couldn't get the speaker placement just exactly perfect. Starting to resemble The Wall of Sound. Gotta remember to turn it down a little as we pass by towns on our way to Chicago. 100% Fishhead Music.

I like the idea of using a wagon and trailer. T-Horse is claiming it's customary for the rider and horse to switch off.Is he right? Says all he eats is Spaghetti-O's and canned chili. How many cans do I feed him? I don't think I can believe everything he says. He's only been here one day and has everything screwed up.

"Thanks For The Information". McKenzie Bro's are an excellent source for informational " how to" videos. Check em out on you tube. Hi boo, this horse never stops talking. He's fluent in six languages. Claim's he's the inspiration behind "The Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials. Seems he drinks way too much beer for that to be true.

Just got a great idea. We can all gather at Klang's place. Have huge bon fires, play music all night. RRRRGRRR can whip up some of his world renowned breakfasts. Anyone know if Klang has a pool. Oh well, it's California, surely some of his neighbors do. T-Horse says he has some swim trunks. Ah, this is gonna be epic. Klang's gonna love it!!!!

Santa Clara will be announced tomorrow. Shhhhhh. Don't tell Klang,it's a surprise. First a surprise party at his house and now this. Is this July 'cause it sure feels like X-mas! Really, tomorrow. Be ready Klang in case tickets go on sale immediately. I can't bare to witness another shut-out. Unfortunately all my money is spent on pre and post parties in Chicago.

Cat might be let out of the bag tomorrow. KFOG's gonna announce the Klang Dang Doodle immediately following the Santa Clara announcement. Tickets will be available through TicketMaster. Man, if he gets shut out on his own gig. Just wouldn't be right.

Let's roll with Dead Lurches. They wrote some original material. "Tweets" will be their encore. Original lyrics sung to the tune of Fluffhead (Phish). Bill will be bouncing his balls (around the room, obviously). He's a closet Phish-head. It's well documented.
