    Ohhhhh here comes the rain......
    Rain, rain go away, come on around another day...... Sarge, stop paddling and pump up the volume, Miami wants to play..... I got a little change in my pocket going ching-a-ling-a-ling Wanna call you on the telephone, baby, give you a ring But each time we talk, I get the same old thing Always, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding ring" My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself" Ooh, baby, baby, baby, why you gonna treat me this way? You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way That's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow And said, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding vow" My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself" You see, I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in That's when she started talking about true love, started talking about sin I said, "Honey, I'll live with you for the rest of my life" She said, "No huggee, no kissee until you make me a wife" My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"

    Felt your side of the bed... You were gone... My heart was filled with dread! You might not be sleeping here again. Man it hasn't stopped raining since we got back to STL. Last night one of my favorite state parks got hit by a tornado. Hope the beautiful trees are OK. I got a SSDD jones to feed! Miss you guys! Who wants to party? It's almost Friday!

    Hi All
    I keep repeating in my head this morning, "this time last week we were on a flight to Chicago..." and I'm sure from now until Monday I'll be repeating that a lot..."this time last week..." Wish we could turn the clock back. I really hope we can find a way to keep this momentum going - it would be so great to have another "event" to plan, whatever it may be. Don't want to lose touch with any of you. No way. Never have I felt such a deep connection to people I had never met before. It really was very special in every way. Thank you, all, again for a weekend I will never forget. The music was incredible -- the connection and the love between us all was even better. Miss you guys. Anita

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....

no sugar Freudian slip on that typo, Chit town ok i'll get in lotto, I don't know but it looks like if you want taper tix, that is the only thing you can request, no way to get other tix if tapers sold out. can any one confirm?

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.

You request the two. If you are selected, but the taper tix are sold out, you then are up for two tickets from any price tier. xo

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.
