    After looking at Tony's father's day spreadsheets (thanks, T-man!) I just noticed that if Buckingham Fountain is the head of the Park from an aerial view, then we are meeting in the "heart" of the Park. Home is where the heart is, as they say. I want a girl with the right allocations Who is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack Nice Cake selections on KDED today, Mike and Rich!

    Morning Mr. Mayor , didn't recognize you with all the makeup....have some coffee.... now on K DED a request for Cake..... a little driving music on the Highway to Hell. Pupper break out the vibraslap.... I've got wheels, Of polished steel, I've got tires that drive, The road, I've got seats that selflessly, Hold my friends, And a trunk that can carry, The heaviest of loads, I've got a mind that can steer me, To your house, And a heart that can bring you, Red flowers, My intentions are good, And earnest, and true, But under my hood, Is internal combustion power, And Satan is my motor, Hear my motor power, Satan is my motor, motor, Hear my motor power, Satan is the only one, Who seems to understand, I've got brakes, I'm wide awake, I can stop this car, At anytime, At the very last second, I can change directions, Turn completely around, If I feel so inclined, I've got a mind that can steer me, To your house, And a heart that can bring you, Red flowers, My intentions are good, And earnest, and true, But under my hood, Is internal combustion power, And Satan is my motor, Hear my motor power, Satan is my motor, motor, Hear my motor power, Satan is the only one, Who seems to understand, Satan is my motor, Satan is my motor, Satan is my motor, Satan is my motor, Satan is my motor, Satan is my motor, Hear my motor power, Satan is the only one, Who seems to understand...

    in the Echoes of my mind
    Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks And no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.

Go west young man. Let me know if your logistical needs include a hotel room. No tickets for Santa Clara for me, but truth is that was the smartest option. Clear path to Chicago now, I'm happy. I was standing in line with Mr. rrrrrgrrr

congrats to those who made it. too bad to those who did not. your own fault who didn't even try (me). but as others have said, a much higher percentage went to fans for these shows so whatever becomes available will probably be more reasonably priced. i still can't decide if i should/can have/make the time to go even if i could score a single. i sure hope this is the hardest decision i have to make this summer :)

Maybe it was meant to be. Think all the great shows going on in Chicago in addition to the 3 shows. Maybe just make a long weekend out of Chicago. I'm def throwing all my marbles at Chi town. I'm hitting the Rex benefit Thursday. Moe Saturday. The Jerry tribute show with Kimock, Greene, and Melvin Seals and company on Sunday afternoon. And I'm just getting started with other plans. I'm sure SC will be fun, but Chicago will be through the roof. He travels the fastest who travels alone

Who won the lottery! Brother Adam said it just right "feeling lucky and humbled. The lovelight is bright." That is exactly how it feels!! I am on the other side tonight - having gotten the regret email... I might just have to keep my SC hotel reservation and go see what I see... Don't want the back of the tshirt to be wrong!! Haha. My heart feels tender and smarts a little, but I have faith and will see you all soon! I just got home from work and have some catching up to do... gonna have a little snack and maybe watch a movie and breath first... Nightzzzzzz.

Hopefully that translates into more SC available for those in need. Nobody bought Chicago hoping to trade for something else. Not so w/ DJ & SC.

Given this theatre announcement, my guess is that Shapiro couldn't do a bigger deal with the cable and satellite providers for an in-home PPV. I would have thought that to be not only ideal for the fan and consumer, but a revenue jackpot for the band and Peter. Maybe that's coming...who knows. I will fork out for the boxed-set DVD in blu-ray when it comes out though :-)

Perhaps they are going for the group experience? That is only speculation, but I would rather go to a cinema with 500 people and awesome acoustics, than sit at home eating cheesies and beer...wait...beer, no, most cinemas sell beer now...thank you VIP cinemas!

Group experiences happen in the home as well and in a less restrictive and constrictive way.... Can't speak for your entertainment room, but my acoustics don't suck and I'm wired inside and out.... I would NEVER spend Independence Day at a movie theater... But I won't have to... And they could do both....

My acoustics SUCK - I don't even own a TV. I sold my turntable years ago to move to Europe (amp too) As for the group experience - definitely, but I am a loner in a sea of people asking why I even listen to a band that arguably died in the late 70's...I caught a lot of flack for saying I even wanted to go to a Dead concert. People don't get it and they look at you like you are crazy when you say something, so, finding a group that would start to emulate a concert experience...that would be tough (for me at least) And you sir, were one of the very lucky ones (of course you know this) - also my 'independence day' read Canada had already passed so - meh...

Possible that Theaters will announce advance ticket sales in order to assure sell out. Once this has been achieved then market can be reassessed to determine if home viewing is viable. Living 250 miles from the nearest theater that would even consider showing FTW, I have been down this exact same road many times.

You are always welcome to the Buff... I learned a long time ago to let my freak flag fly At work at home everywhere Got ostracized, criticized and alienated... But you know what.... It has freed me, so now I know who my friends are...and more importantly who aren't..... I agree the Dead culture is an acquired taste and much left of center..... And a special thank you to the almighty great and powerful Wizard of...DA...geoknowwho... My path is mine and mine alone, your mileage may vary... So please don't follow in my steps...you might not like where you end up..... But goddammit, I'm a deadhead and I MISS JERRY! Can I get a witness?

You just described where I live. Lucky to be 4 or 5 Deadheads on this side of the state. Had to enjoy the band all by myself. Amazingly one of the others is a district judge.

T-Horse told me that if and when they offer Home PPV it's going to be by lottery too. This could be a real no hitter. If my luck is really this bad, how come I have a spam folder full of all the wealth I've inherited, sweepstakes I've won, and third world business opportunities I've been offered? If I had not procrastinated so much I would be as wealthy as Bill Gates, or even Shapiro. Then I could have acquired all the suites at both stadiums and miracle'd all the Sunshine Daydreamers with a VIP experience. My bad. Stupid Horse.
