    I am a changed person
    After meeting the SD group in person and experiencing the best concert experience I have ever been to, I have to admit I am the better man for it. So many kind people, so much coolness and kindness and love. I am the better man for it. So many amazing things went down, the vibe was one I have never felt before. So for someone to say that any of these were not Grateful Dead shows, it's all bullshit. I was there, man, it was the dead in just about every aspect, in some ways it was way better than the mid-nineties scene. When I hear about people (like that jackass Terry Boers) bashing on this band or the event in general, I just laugh. Some people just don't get it. I get it, and I got it 10-fold at FTW, a fantastic spectacle it was... I am so blessed to have been part of it...

    Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here in STL ...it looks like rain. Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart

    I'm moving through some changes I'll never be the same Something you did touched me There's no one else to blame The love we had has fallen The love we used to share We've given up pretending As if you didn't care Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes I look into the mirror I see no happiness All the warmth I gave you Has turned to emptiness The love we had has fallen The love we used to share You've left me here believing In love that wasn't there Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word can bring you round Changes But when I look into your eyes and try to find out how There's no way to save it now and everything I feel Changes Keep looking for Changes Changes For some reason you're questioning why I always believe it gets better One difference between you and I Your heart is inside your head One word from you, one word from me A clear design on your liberty Who could believe when love has gone How we move on like everyone Only such fools Only such jealous hearts Only through love changes come Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes One road to loneliness It's always the same One road to happiness It's calling your name Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word, one word can bring you round Changes YES!

What's the best way do you folx think? Request 2 tickets for each night? Request 3 tickets for each night? Request 4 tickets for each night? My experience is that the only ticket I was able to get for CHI was a single. Money is a consideration for me, so ideally need only ask for 2 or 3 tickets a night, but as agreed, I don't want to miss out on a chance to help a brother out, if need be. I have family here who are interested in joining me for SC, that's why the increased number. There are 3 of us so far. Who knows what cool cats I'll meet down the road who will want to join me on the bus... Tactic intuition family? I am spent from slinging tacos and then celebrating a birthday. It's quiet time in my head. Someone shake the decision makers awake! Lovelove Stella.

Whew, back from driving 1,000 miles in less than 48 hours. Fortunately, my trusty rental Kia Optima had Channel 23. Could have gotten the red Camaro or the SUV free upgrade (w/out sat) but how else would I have heard 3 1/2 concerts and Shapiro's letter read a dozen times? Listening to the To Lay Me Down from 7-7-81 and thinking about the FTW shows gave me goose bumps. Anywho, just wanted to say it's good to be back and read the positive vibes for the additional SC shows. I give a lot of credit to the band members--I was pretty critical of them with the Chicago ticketing fiasco, but their letter was very heartfelt and classy. I think they realized they could do better and they did. Kudos, gentlemen! Nice to read all the submissions here. Tough to keep up after an absence but I'm really looking forward to meeting you all in Chitown. Peace.

Article reads like he single-handedly rescued the bands legacy. I don't know what his connection to the band is other than a columnist who's tin foil hat conspiracy piece went viral, but don't pull a muscle patting yourself on the back, dude.

Stella, put in for what you need and leave the rest. The way I see things, if everyone scored one extra ticket for every seat needed, one- half of folks seeking tickets will get denied in the lotto. Better than in the hands of scalpers, but still...

I was so glad that the statement was released Friday. It seemed to quickly reaffirm faith in the band for some folks. I never really could blame the band. Their function is to facilitate the magic on the stage. But I'm not making the connection that Shapiro is more a part of this than he is a part of the marketing process. Maybe I just haven't noticed him side stage providing amazing air guitar licks that take the music to the next level. This statement and some others give the impression he really is playing in the band. "From the moment these shows were first talked about, we have considered ways to honor the roots of our Deadhead experience, even in the face of changing technologies. Remember, Ticketmaster didn’t even go on-line until we got out of the game." Every one despises Snydley (aka Ticketmaster). It's easy to blame it all on him, and he knows being the villain is his job. Like it or not he is here to stay. In the words of the masterful Willie J. Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of is is. But just remember this Pete, if you point a Willie at Snydley you'll have five Willies pointing right back at you.

As an eastcoaster I am unable to attend the SC shows, and having been shut out of Chi town (so far) I am wondering if any SDers that are on the westcoast, would be up for a trade if I get SC tix? I am happy to get in the lotto just to be able to help someone out for face, however I would like to arrange an equitable trade, my question, is any one interested in such a trade? Thanks, and pass that coffee....

That's exactly what I did... I'm not going to SC but put myself in the lotto - option one, both nights to help out our Cally heads (or anyone wanting to make the trip for those shows). Chi-Town ticket barter always welcomed also. Have to say I'm way alarmed there are still tons of CID options left and a TM pre-sale happening. Either word has not hit the street like the Chicago build-up, or, demand is no where near what we all might have thought. Or, Cally is just being Cally and they're still in first gear :-)

it is kind of suprising, given the Chi town frenzy, I'd hate to lay out for SC tix and nobody wants them or wants to trade, I'm still hopeful this will make Chi tix easier to come by

...for sure. This may strike a raw nerve but from my perspective if you're buying them to barter or for any purpose but for going to the show you're using them as a currency of one form or another. And now you have some uncomfortable overlap with scalpers. I'm not suggesting by any stretch it's evil like selling no-view seats for $1K. But still...

Santa Clara will sell out. I'm not sure what is up with CID ticket sales, but attitude toward the shows and hype not being that as it is for Chicago be factor. I predict Chicago tickets might even be more highly sought once these show dates hit. Don't wait too long to pull the trigger for Chicago. I think it was DWC that predicts mid June as the sweet spot. I think he's right.

If we all get our ticket requests filled for SC, come to me. I have family in Hawaii, and up and down the west coast and in CO I could reach out to from across the decades to see if they want to take a little trip to California. I for sure know someone in Hawaii who was all shut out of CHI who is hoping for SC. Lovelove.
