    @ I got a pickle...I gotta pickle today hey hey...
    The sun will come out tomorrow... All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dream Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Just like little girls and boys Playing with their little toys Seems like all they really were doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love Don't need to be afraid No need to be afraid It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real Thought I'd been in love before, But in my heart I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you Don't need to be alone No need to be alone It's real love Yes it's real, yes it's real love It's real, yes it's real love...

    @As Buhwheat used to say......
    .....HERE I IS,,,,,,,!!!! Tomorrow.....God willin and the creek don't rise...... When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed I went insane, Like a smoke ring day When the wind blows Now I won't be back till later on If I do come back at all But you know me, and I miss you now. In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me When the change came, And you had a Chance to see through me Though the other side is just the same You can tell my dream is real Because I love you, can you see me now. Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel And I love you, can you feel it now.

    @ Wish You Were Here
    Remember the old days when I met you. I never thought I would get you. Remember the good times we shared together, and now they're just a song. Remember the first time that I saw you. Remember the first time that I taught you. Remember the old friends we knew together, and how they've all gone on. Well we danced by the light of the moon. The band kept on playing that tune. You asked me to carry you home, we were alone. And then I saw moonlight dance in your hair. Now I'll never, never, never see it again. No I'll never, ever, ever have it again. It's gone, just like the song that lives on. Doesn't it seem like the right time. I wanna go way back through my lifetime. Gotta go way back and re-live those days, when everything was mine. Doesn't it seem like a long ways. Back through the fog and the byways. Doesn't it seem strange it took so long, but I saw it all today. The moon through the trees did go down. The snowflakes had covered the ground. Morning left moonlight behind; day was unkind. But then I saw lovelight dance in your hair. Ah I'll never, never, never see it again. I'll never, ever, ever have it again. Oh no, just the snow and I know.

    @Dark Side of the Moon.....
    Come a little bit closerHear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away. But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon. When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart. But now it's gettin' late And the moon is climbin' high I want to celebrate See it shinin' in your eye. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon.

    @ Moons over My Hammy
    hehehe One two three four Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu Livin' is fantasy, travelin' mentally Makin' up tunes in hotel rooms 'Bout places I've never been to Though I've never crooned under a Kentucky moon I had my dream, Kentucky moon But it's all imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? But I had my dream, Kentucky moon Route sixty six to me is still a mystery And Ohio, too Went Chicago blue down to St. Louis blues Never been anywhere, south of the Delaware Never been through Kalamazoo Never been to Timbuktu But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon As I sit by a stream in the moon But it's just imagery From songs, films and TV But I can visualize, what I've never seen? So I sit and dream, Kentucky moon

    @How 'bout this.....Miami?
    Moon over miami,Shine on my love and me, So we can stroll beside the roll, Of the rolling sea. Moon over miami, Shine on as we begin, A dream or two that may come true, When the tide comes in. Hark to the song of the smiling troubadours, Hark to the throbbing guitars, Hear how the waves offer thunderous applause, After each song to the stars. Moon over miami, You know we're waiting for, A little love, A little kiss On miami shore.

    @ Well, you are a lot of things but....you're not a walrus
    In this life I've seen everything I can see womanI've seen lovers flying through the air Hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen kings and queens from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sitting watching Picture slides But I never seen nothin' like you. [Chorus] Do ya want my love Do ya want my face Do ya want my mind Do ya want my love Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang auld lang syne by the light Of the moon I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums And I heard the police playin' with their guns But I never heard nothing like you In the country where the sky touches down On the field she lay her down to rest In the morning sun They come a runnin' just to get a look just to Feel to touch her long black hair they don't Give a damn [Chorus] Well I think you know what I'm trying to say Woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know That i've got to get it all to get it all to grow

    @ I am the Walrus
    Well, while were at it...I'm crying Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Picture yourself on a train in a station With Plasticine porters with looking-glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Aaaaahhhhh... Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds [fade out]

This party is going to work out real smooth. Just exactly perfect. If not, it will be an epic catastrophe. We only hope if there are resulting prison sentences that they aren't to harsh.

My thinking is: secure as many tickets as possible in the hands of True Heads through the lottery, then get busy in a massive swap meet with Californians holding Chi-town tickets who would rather trade and stay close to home. Let's secure those new tickets, folks.

What the hell? I take a few hours out of my FTW obsession to see my Orioles get smacked in the kiester by a flock of Canadian ballplayers... and the whole galactic paradigm shifts! web service was down on my phone, now i'm hours behind on the next wave of anxiety. Can I/Should I go? I'll definitely put in for tix, Graceful is spot on with that, they can always be shared by those not looking to exploit. Can someone help me clear these flight/hotel searches from my browser history before the wife gets home?. I miss Jerry.

Dear Abby, Less than six hours ago everything was stable. All navigation systems were programmed and functioning perfectly. Compass pointed to Terrapin. Now east and west are all screwed up. Target destination is permanently fixed on Chicago. And that's just the way I want it. And now I'm trying to plot a course that gets us to Chicago via Santa Clara. Please help me Abby cause all I have now is an obnoxious horse giving me advice.

Dear Abby and her sister Ann Landers are trying to score extra ducats to Levi's....they bought CID VIP....with a handful of our SD crew....who needs them.... Once, we were one in body and one in purpose....so what, we whack ten or so names off the shirt....Tami make it happen....grrrrrrrlllll. Scrap the design, screw the fountain and let's all go solo....Jeff and Tami worked hard, but hey the Dead are going home and giving back to the left coast...as they should....we don't matter. We don't know each other, we are a motley crew of obsessed strangers, friends without faces who are jeopardizing our retirement, marriages, careers and lives, all for one final weekend celebrating a band that ended in 1995.....and the leader of the band is dead for God sakes..... This is going down the shitter quick Dudley.....was it Santa Clara or Mr. Ed...or David Gans....I don't know..... And if it does.... It doesn't make up for the fact that I still am a Deadhead and I miss Jerry..... My name is staying on the shirt and I will be in Chicago.... Who's with me.....

Life is all about compromise. This old adage worked beautifully. My gal has been a life-long Cubbie fan. I don't follow baseball until the playoffs begin. She likes the Grateful Dead but is far from being a fanatic (like me). The last big thing on her bucket list is seeing the Cubs at Wrigley Field, she has wanted to do this for over fifty years. I score the Cubs tickets and before she's recovered I hit her with the news that the Dead are going to be there that same weekend. What a surprise. Oh no, it's going to be the last time I can ever see them. I now have a green light to search for tickets almost no matter what the cost. She still thinks the main reason for going to Chicago is to see the Cubs. Small price to pay, I think.

Today was such a good day I could hardly contain it. Good thing there is a river mote of posts and notes here to calm me down... can't get through them all I'm skimming most. 6 day work weeks got me taaahred... gotta get that dough though! No scalping for me, no sireeee. Either I or a family member in the show on my tickets. Can't wait to see if we all get tickets to SC... My t-shirt line will be incorrect then but small price, eh? Can't wait to see you guys in the park. Looks like we will literally have our flag flying high thanks to Totem? Trying to map out if one of us can stash some brightly colored umbrellas at the ho-tel. Good for spotting each other and a spot in the shade. Peace and nightzzz

Morning campers....Oooooh my, what a day ithat was. Left coasters in a frenzy, east coasters hopes dashed....a new round of anticipation, and possible heartbreak. I can't do CID two weeks in a row but can do a lottery and leave on a jet plane.... or miracle a Few.... I propose a separate forum to discuss Levi Stadium plans..... As we get closer to the shows, these subforums will have more specifics re. our respective Crusades.... It will preserve the spirit of SD and allow the character of Levi to develop a life of its own.... Wishing everyone a blessed Saturday... so which way do we go, George? We're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese and wonderfully clean in the morning.....

Good Morning All! A glorious sunrise, and a wonderful Saturday to you. First things first....We Are Sunshine Daydreamers, whether we are the left coasters or the Chi-dreamers, we are one and won are we. We stay true to our roots, this forum, and post away in all abandon. 'cept you rgrrrgrrgr, you gotta drive. And a fine job you are doing. Steady on, Daddio, keep on course, stopover in Santa Scara for a field trip to see the Californai hippies, then onward to Chicago. Our T-shirt might be just fine. Our vision certainly is. A mini-tour for the Dead, a choice for us all, and music to rock our souls. Let's see how things shake down Rjjjrrrrjjjr and all. We'll talk it up on the email thread and then go public. If the cats and kittens wanna play elsewhere, because there is another weekend to party, then so-be-it. We can do both here just fine. Maybe the left side of the bus can be the SC-bound folks, and the right-righteous side be the Chi-town Irregulars. ciao, tally ho, pass the sugar, thanks. Geoallisokmeister

strawberry cream cheese pie sounds delicious, although probably too far back in the thread to be relevant. i doubt it cares. so happy for you left-coasters!! A "nya nya" to those that sneered at the notion that the band actually does give a crap about its family. joining Stella in the six-day grind (although i'm salaried so who's it all for anyway?) gotta focus, so a passing wave, and back to the path right foggy.
