    I am here, now, just like Ram Das said..
    Hi you all, I am here, I am reading but every time I go to post I start to ramble, then I wander and then I get distracted so I come back to an hour old post and I never click "post" So this will be short yet hopefully I will actually post it :-) I love the rggrrrr suppers ready stuff, makes me want to go see Steve Hackett from Genesis. Phil is playing with my favorite non-hippie guitarist Bill Frissel on April 22 or something. Bill Frisell is really something he plays big fat melodic notes and makes great use of pauses and space. Check him out, my favorite is "good dog happy man" but his John Lennon tribute is pretty wonderful. If I lived in Cali (hint hint to Klang, I would go to that show at TRX) I nearly went for it myself, the flight was $350, the car rental out of SFO would be brutal, and to visit Marin, or point Reyes or drive through Napa would be wonderful. My patient wife could only make a 3 day trip out of it, so the 10 hours or more in travel each way made the trip seem way to brutal. You do not rush a visit to Marin. Madness and adventure is fine, but it is way more relaxing when you have all the time in the world with no pressure except the next show. Anyhow, I am trying to quit obsessing on this thing and enjoy the spring. Things will most certainly work out. I am lucky that the experience of tour has helped create the courage in me to follow a path that has led me to an opportunity to do at least some of this 50 year celebration. Whatever burdens I have taken on they seem to be out of my way for a stretch of time. woo Hoo for that !!! So with a positive vibe I may try to spend less than 2 hours a day searching for tickets, hoping for news and all of that. See some of you at Dear Jerry.. Yeow!!!! -- Tom

    Just sold, 3-day obstructed view pass for $900. Not sure if it was a legit ticket or not, but none-the-less prices are still dropping.

Hey people hows life going? My names Willy Pete and I'm a pretty young dude (think 18) whose parents might be letting me loose for the first time to drive a few states over to hang out on the "scene". I don't really have buckets of money so buying a legit ticket is out of the question, but I definitely have enough for gas, food, maybe a cheap hotel to shower up or whatever. Anyone have word on where someone could get a shower? Is sleeping in a car safe/dangerous? Where the cheapest hotel might be (willing to drive out of town for this)? How not to get murdered or robbed?I don't really have a clue whats going to happen but I imagine it would involve hanging out, being a parking lot rat outside the show and later/before, at certain meet up spots. A big request my parents made is that I find people and/or events beforehand to meet up with online so i'm not showing up clueless and alone. So yeah, whats the word on how this is going down? I'd love to get to know some real down to earth people and have a good time. I've only spent time in small time local scenes, so this is a HUGE deal for me. Bring me to the circle of life! Love -

David Marc Harris‎Grateful Dead 50th - Face Value Tickets19 hrs · FLAG IT! He just sent me this: YOU HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE FILE. And you might want to let your friends know that all the harassing emails, with low ball offer and statements about my character or what I should or should not do with MY tickets and the prices of MY tickets, are being forwarded to the Attorney Generals Office and placed into a file that is being put together regarding a charge of conspiracy to commit extortion. You see when you and your friends decided to harass sellers into doing something against their will, in order to gain something for yourself is extortion. And since all of you conspirators are in many different states you bought yourself FEDERAL charges.

Like the feds would really give a shit or make a priority about a scalper selling tickets on Craigslist. Laughable. I can't imagine anyone making threats or anything, right? That might be a different story. Just remember that words in this forum are Google searchable, I think.

He made a threat that people who he felt were messing with him about the prices he was selling his tickets for were all being rounded up and reported to the Attorney General. A threat that has absolutely no merit. All he did was bring attention to himself, and this has all backfired on him.

I assure everyone I am not scalping tickets on Craig's List in Miami. I live in Ely, Nevada. I have not been harassed by anyone over it, and I certainly am not threatening anyone with legal repercussions. A scalper in Miami posted this warning. I regret any misunderstanding this post has caused. Still feel it is of interest to some.

Fitting that today, the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express, you use the word Sarsaparilla. Anyone know just what the heck Sarsaparilla is? Other than rrrrrrgrrrrr (btw, we're still awaiting the details of your new cooking show on The Food Channel) anyone ever use that in a sentence? Who talks that way? Sarsaparilla: Sarsaparilla is a soft drink, originally made from the Smilax regelii plant, but now sometimes made with artificial flavors. Sarsaparilla was popular in the United States in the 19th century. What plant? The rrrrrgrrrrr plant?

Boy Rich, you got me there. I had to look that word up. Don't even get me going on the Brown Derby serving Shirley Temples! Beer. I have a not so funny story about me, Southern Comfort, Hamburg Beach, and tickets for the 1987 Summer Tour. There is a happy ending involving kind people and a phone number of the girl I was wooing scribbled on the ticket envelope. Short story, No Whiskey! I should have had a Sasparilla instead.

Rumor has it there's a severe epidemic of caliclarahypersomnia spreading throughout the West coast. I don't normally wish illness upon others; in this case I've got to admit I hope the rumors are true. caliclarahypersomnia:def: Severe and overwhelming need to sleep; inability to wake up; always coincident with GD Santa Clara ticket lottery deadlines. Effects include confusion upon awakening, severe distress over missing lottery deadlines, and a surplus of tickets for those unaffected.
