    @ at least it's not that bad...
    Took the bus downtown this Morning. 10 minutes to downtown. I love my city. Even the homeless sleeping in the park or those waiting to get free breakfast from the Salvation Army. I was born here. My soul grew here. Big city, big problems but it's home. I know it like the back of my hand. These streets have memories, of harder times and slower days. When horses were pulling wagons down the cobblestone streets. The Dred Scott decision was handed down right across from where I sit.

    It's ok I will spin one for you.... 5 a.m. on Tuesday, why am I up so early? Drive out to Santa Ana 'cause I've got jury duty No breakfast, short tempered And I cut my head shaving Ten miles out, I hit traffic Some days just aren't worth saving You know I haven't had the best of days But I want to stop and thank you anyway At the courthouse I waited And waited then I waited At lunchtime my car stalled out I couldn't get it started Had a book by C.S. lewis I finished the last page and Slept on my desk for three hours Just like my high school days 'Cuz every single moment Whether sleeping or awake is your creation And what you've made is good I don't always thank you for the rough days And the hard times in my life Even though I should Got home and decided I'd be in a bad mood My shy and quiet wife said she didn't like my attitude Got a call from my mother Forgot my sister's birthday I'm a lousy older brother safe to say I've had a bad day

    @ excused for lunch
    As soon as the panel was called, the case was setled. Now I'm drinking my lunch at TGI Fridays in the shadow of the Arch. I never get to have a coctail at lunch. Hopefully I get called up cause the book I'm reading sucks...should known it was a rape story, its got my blood pumpin. Good to see other jurors at the bar... Cheers! ;-) My song now is Tennesee by Arrested Development. Takes too much battery to post lyrics.

    @ Jury Duty
    Hey now Daydreamers it is a beautiful morning here in Saint Louis. I'm sitting here in the Jury pool looking out the window at the Gateway Arch. What a great weekend it was indeed! Thanks to rrrgrrr and a carrier pigeon who is headed back to da Buff for my package. Matt and I were so excited to get "show tapes" in the mail! Now we'll see if I get chosen to help decide someone's fate... Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show  The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature;  This will not do. Call the schoolmaster! I always said he'd come to no good In the end your honor. If they'd let me have my way I could Have flayed him into shape. But my hands were tied, The bleeding hearts and artists Let him get away with murder. Let me hammer him today? Crazy,  Toys in the attic I am crazy,  Truly gone fishing. They must have taken my marbles away. Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy. You little shit you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key. You should have talked to me more often  Than you did, but no! You had to go Your own way, have you broken any  Homes up lately? Just five minutes, Worm your honor,  Him and Me, alone. Baaaaaaaaaabe! Come to mother baby, let me hold you  In my arms. M'lud I never wanted him to Get in any trouble. Why'd he ever have to leave me? Worm, your honor, let me take him home. Crazy,  Over the rainbow, I am crazy, Bars in the window. There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in. Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy. The evidence before the court is Incontrovertible, there's no need for The jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before  Of someone more deserving Of the full penalty of law. The way you made them suffer, Your exquisite wife and mother, Fills me with the urge to defecate! "Hey Judge! Shit on him!" Since, my friend, you have revealed your  Deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before  Your peers. Tear down the wall!

    These posts of yours are better than calling a 900 number....enjoy dinner... Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast I'm hungry.....

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.
