    Tom - You know I love you man, but you have to be kidding. A bit sloppy? Most folks I know would call it theft. Sure the buyers didn't have to 'click' purchase. 400 level for 200 because that's what the market will bear? You'd have to be pretty heavily dosed to say they handled things 'pretty well'. This is the biggest cluster fuck (or the most brilliant) in the annals of modern concert promotion. Some people got some splaining to do. Now that I have that out of my system, lets's party! Peace, gob

    Yeah, they did they best they could considering the mess they caused in the first place. Hindsight is 20/20. Let's be real, the organization doesn't need praise, just understanding for trying to fix the biggest ticket fuck up in history. Tom, look up cluster-fuck in the dictionary, there' a picture of TM spinning wheel with the Dead50 logo on top. I love the Dead, but I'm not drinking that Kool Aid.

    Hurray for GD
    I just want to say that I think the GD organization is doing a pretty good job of handling this whole adventure. Sure just like Gimme Some Lovin when Brent fails to recognize the tune and fails to kick in the big organ intro, things got off to a rough start. Chicago was a mess, the demand was unexpected, seating charts re-written, behind the stage seating etc etc. But the boys learn from mistakes and things have gotten better, and I appreciate that. Bravo for handling Santa Clara well. For folks with Chicago tickets perhaps SC was an insult, but as someone who needed tickets at the time, Santa Clara was handled well. Friday release of tickets. Once again Dead Heads with the spirit to try one more time, it seems a subset of them were rewarded. Well done. GDTSTOO in general seems to have done well and when possible did the right thing. Sure today people are pissed about $200 tickets being in the upper tiers and that does seems a bit sloppy in hindsight. I think the choice they had to make was to give tickets or not give tickets. So the seating chart went out the window, but overall I think the band has had to fight with the venue, fight with TM to try and make things as good as they can for us. -- Tom

GM I'm not trying for SC tickets as all my eggs are in the Chicago basket but I waited almost 3 months for my answer...happiness to have gotten a response from Elvis that my email had been sent and I didn't get it so yes indeed I'm in. So comparatively 5 days seems great. Good luck and a beautiful day to all.

and the sweet memory of singing harmony to Bob Marley songs with the strolling guitar player at the (nearly deserted) Wyndham Rosehall restaurant. The smile on his face when he realized I knew every word to Redemption Song was like a sunrise. ...we sang every song that driver knew. Back to the salt mines. I can pick & shovel, too.

You should not be fretting ever about not having half and half for your Blue Mountain (or your Kona for that matter). You should be sad that it was likely drip...you want to see what it brings out? Use a vac-pot (syphon) or pour-over...or better yet, an espresso made by an experienced barista...THEN you will never want anything else but Blue Mountain and Reggae I don't leave home without proper coffee gear...that is a must to start any day!

GD 50th update: We are now answering emails for anyone who is still in "limbo". We do not have seat locations at this time. The Fabulous Envelope Art contest winners have selected and notified! It was a difficult task, choosing the finalists, as each and every envelope is an incredible piece of art, many being museum worthy. http://www.gdtstoo.com/GDTSTOOupdate.html

Trying to contain my enthusiasm - a Pending Charge just posted to my credit card from music today. It's different than a posted transaction. Kind of like a hotel pre-authorization.

Mine was a picture of a cow eating grass... "Where's the Grass?" you ask.. "Cow ate it all" I say.. "Where's the cow?" you ask... "He left, no sense hanging around..." Apparently, the GDTStoo folks thought it looked too much like Rgrgrgr's Polar bear/snowstorm envelope. got my pink slip early on...only it was white too. Thank you for your attention. We now return you to your regular scheduled forum posts.

Lots of posts on the big board of peoples CC's being charged for their SC tickets. Any SD'ers have any luck? My ability to get tickets continues to be a whopping 0 %. And I'm not even going to SC - they'll be miracled to any SD'er or head who wants them @ face.

I did not attempt to get tickets to SC because I didn't think I could afford the time away and the $ for going to SC AND FTW, despite my lovely wife's encouragement to go for it (last run and all)...I am now having serious not-a-buyer's remorse for passing on the SC lotto. I still may try to figure out a way to get to SC but need to continue to ruminate on that for a while. so, if anything is still available after my rumination period, I'll just havta look around.

dude, keep that wife. The women are smarter, ya know. So much so, that it needed to be said twice! Dunno, now dead.net thinks I'm a bot. Makes me put in one of those word puzzles, then posts twice. I think that's my cue that I've been on-line too long today. Therefore, I shall bid you good night and sweet dreams.
