    ...been a week beyond weird, that I may never recover. Momentous shifts in the work arena. I really was dreaming of lions last night. Gotta run - so much to do today. Said shifts mean I have to work, but I still need to do some garden work this morning. This evening, it's Ravinia Festival for Brandi Carlile and the Old Crow Medicine Show. Should be fun. I need some fun. *poof* where did geo go? ah, there he is! Hi, geo! Happy Anniversary. Marriage rocks. ttfn.

    Kristine, to answer your question... one so small you need tweezers to hold it. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments --- scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday --- eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows --- they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. Just say a word and the boys will be right there: with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air. Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder. I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.'' This game that we animals play is a winner. Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me. I'm a tiger when I want love, but I'm a snake if we disagree. The rivers are full of crocodile nasties and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He's a lover of life but a player of pawns --- yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn to light up His Jungle as play is resumed. The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

    Blue Moons and Fridays and Mystics
    Happy Friday, everyone...TGIF indeed for those of us in a traditional 5 day work week. Was it one month ago we were all giddy with excitement? As the first week of August looms, let's celebrate Jerry's birth and life...a nine-day Jerry week for those who look at the bookends of Birth and Death. This upcoming week my sweetheart and I are celebrating 20 years sharing, laughing, crying, working, playing, loving, living and enjoying life together. Once in a blue moon a gem comes around, and I am so thankful and humble that she strolled into my life. This goes out to my honey Lynne', a throwback to 1970 and Van Morrison...Kristine, this was posted earlier but shut down for an admin review of a link to u-tube...you weren't imagining things... We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won As we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home And when the fog horn blows, I want to hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will fold Into the mystic When that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it I don't have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will fold Into the mystic Come on, girl Too late to stop now

    A mother once she had a lovely daughter,The mother was an actress on the stage; She traveled with a troop of awful lions, And every night went in them lions' cage. One night the daughter had a premonition, That everything that night would not be right-- And so she told her mother, in the kitchen, "Don't go in them lions' cage tonight!" Don't go in them lion's cage tonight, Mother Them lions are ferocious and they bight! And in their angry fits, they could tear you all to bits So don't go in them lions cage, tonight! The mother laughed " Ha! Ha!" to hear this warning That unto her, her daughter tried to give, Said she "I do not fear them awful lions Not one of them could make me cease to live!" She went into that cage of awful lions The lions were ferocious as could be. "Alas!" she cried, when one strode up and bit 'er, "I now recall what daughter said to me." "Oh who will save my mother" cried the daughter, "By lions she is being bit and et!" "I will!" replied a young man from the gallery, "I'll save your mother from them brutes, you bet!" He stepped into that cage and grabbed the mother From lion biting she was almost dead, "Here is your ma" he said to her, and kissed her For he the maiden loved and soon did wed.

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.
