    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

Wets coming down, but its opening day here in Baltimore. 3:00pm EST start to the dismantling of the Pride of Canadian Baseball (shots fired!). So I'll be in the stands for first pitch with my phone tuned to KFOG for the hopefully big announcement.. TFONTS - How was the Jimmy & the Reefers? Looked like a pretty solid setlist.

Here yee....here yee (can I borrow that, Geo?) VOL. IVX; No. 1 email is in your morning in-boxes. Gotta say, the Palm Beach parrot heads and the parking scene lot at The Cruzan was on fire yesterday. Super fun show by our home town boy too. Hey, it's Dad's Weekend up at FSU this weekend so I'm jumping in the truck and making that six hour drive north to Tallahassee to hang with my kid, slam beers in his frat house, and really get an accurate picture of how my tuition dollars are being spent :-) Love you all ! Be safe, be kind, and have a great weekend !!!! Cheers !!

Wow, great job on the T-shirts. Can't think of a more prized memento for this occasion. Like Tony said, you need a spare just to frame. No way to thank you two enough. Tennessee Ed Horse wants to order a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL. This is due to too much beer and Spaghetti-O'S.

I wonder if Jimmy still has that CA license plate. As I mentioned many moons ago, I'm gonna go with Caution Jam>Jack Straw. Why? Because it will give Trey a chance to find a groove with the others and if it is correct, it would be an excuse to buy a SuperDuperPowerBall lotto ticket. Those Midwesterners have the multi-millions lottery experience down pat. First thing I'd buy is a ticket for Klang to Sunday night's show. Hells yeah.
