    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

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.

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.
