    @the Roses<It musta been<I don't know
    ahhh....the day after....where is it? Uhoh, gone again...once again it's missing....why? I was really paying attention...I knew it would be so...I was hoping it would come true...we were childlike in anticipation...then it did! Yup they stole my face right off my head...and I do so love it when that happens...where is it? there it is, patiently sitting there next to the smug kitten-purr puppy-waggle head who is smiling from ear to ear...ahhhhhhh...all better now. Digress time, as Shirley says to Stanley, while we gather our thoughts again...there's one!..and get ready for day two.. How can we miss you when you won't go away...please stay, Irene, the diet-challenged lady ain't gonna sing, ever, cause it cannot ever ever ever be over, rover. We don't want to miss you, we want to kiss you and hold you tight: the music, the dance, the song, the laughter, the sharing and caring and love for all of this and that and you and you and you and yes, you too bring to this world; our Dainty Ever-loving Amazing Darling family. How come there are not any locks on ba dus? Because you are welcome to get on anytime, stay as long as you want; no need to luck the doors, nobody ever wants to leave. That's right, Women are smarter! So, about those roses...and the petals...and the ever so sweet fragrance of the Boys singing and playing last night...my oh my, we were treated to a feast at the first sitting, and it was so good. Seeds were planted; we read and remember that there-abouts a band sprouted forth some 50 years ago. We remember with love those who started the garden but left too early...starting with PigPen and ending with Jerry, you will always be here in our hearts... Thank you Bobby and Phil and Billy and Mickey for doing what you have always done so well, for taking us back, for bringing us forward, for pushing it furthur...for keeping it fresh, for surprising us with that song only ever played once before, and thank you for reminding us how timeless and universal the music is. ...round about sometime last Tuesday a fortnight and three score or more days ago we saw this shiny dus pull up outside, with a briver who had a twinkle in his eye and a song on his heart. Springing forth like a box load of excited puppies dumped on the carpet of life before us, we scrambled around, rolling and prancing and dancing and dashing and wagging our little tails we all got to know each other. An oreo? A cuppa Joe, a spot of brew? A hug, a smile, an extended hand? Why sure, for we were apart, and now we are together. Turn up the Dass, briver, this is the good part. Last night we gathered from all across the land and became one again. Thank you for being part of the whole...and let's do it again and again and again and again... geoyesweareallplayinginthebandmeister

    oh, you're here.....morning...Sunday I guess.... Coffee is on....thanks geosomuchfunlastnightwishyouwereatourbuddyohwaityouaremeister, Miami kid you are worthy, Stan and Totes....n all you in SC.... I feel invigorated, refreshed and spent... Dominant and violated.... Trey, I love you, man.... Where have you been all my life..... BTW Stellz.....see that rainbow?.....came in colors everywhere...... Just like the days of old..... Drink all day and rock all night..... That's how the song goes.... Now get your rest, Sarge move over, Stella needs her rest..... Now that your up Pup.... let's go back to where it all began, just like the boys did last night.... the book of Genesis... The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave. He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy, To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair, The scene of death is lying just below. The mountain cuts off the town from view, Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. Let it be revealed. A waterfall, his madrigal. An inland sea, his symphony. Undinal songs Urge the sailors on Till lured by sirens' cry. Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change.

    It was dripping pitch and made of woodAnd your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

I didn't know about it, but already grabbed a set of U2 tix for that night at the United Center, I believe Chris did as well after I mentioned it on here a while back. I haven't seen them since 87 Joshua Tree tour and I'm curious. On another note, Do you know anything about that trade you saw today on Cash or Trade.....the Chicago for Santa Clara deal? I only ask because an hour before that Tom distributed his extras to people who requested them, of which I was one. Then I know people tried to contact him regarding the trade. I'm just wondering if anything ever became of that, because I'm in the process of booking travel from Pennsylvania to Santa Clara based on the fact that he said I was getting tix from him. I tried to reach out to him with no response as of yet. If you or anyone knows anymore or is in touch with him, can you fill me in,...kinda sweating over it now. Thanks,...hope all is well with everyone,....goodnight

Based on the spreadsheet it looks like you and your friend will be fine. If not, I can get my hands on a pair for SC Saturday for you, beyond the pair I already have on the spreadsheet. Can't help with Sunday, but Saturday is 100%. PM me if you want to do that--$119.50 (P3) seats, although the location is a little unclear due to an error in my confirmation email. Edited: Ha! Never mind, just saw your last post. Congrats.

Hey Bobby check your PM...I have contacted the guy with them - it is out of my hands now...all I can do is hope and smile. I am in at SC so meh I am happy either way. Chris has made my week. I don't know that I wanna flood the dude with requests as I am sure he is going to be flooded with them, but I don't know, if others want to try, it might increase our odds. And if you score from him and have the order filled without us - cool too.

I assume he's in the east (dude with the tix) I am in the west and a night owl (about to start working again - I can work whenever the mood catches me now that classes are done for the semester) so no worries. Get some rest and we will chase him down in the morn. Have a good one...

I'm in, if it happens with this seller, and there's still one left for me. Would love a ticket with a view on Saturday the 4th or Sunday the 5th... Work was fine. I had some kind folks who told me I was intrepid, which I found amusing ;)

I really wish I was going to the record store. That Jerry Garcia Green Vinyl is calling my name, but alas I owe I owe, so off to work I go. Good luck with your purchases. If you could score the green vinyl for me, I would be indebted, and obviously pay you as well! Anyway,..Hasta La Vista.

Has a rule of one release per person. I think there are quite a few being released, so you should be able to find one later. I really want that Spusta Record Day poster too. Off I go...

I gotta go to my local record store - my admin assistant owns it with her husband and she tol' me I gots to come. I will be contactable by email - those that have the very first SD list - I am on that. I will have my phone on me so will respond. We have to discuss some ins and outs on the miracle that was sent from on high to us. Simply a case of demand outstripping supply...but if the sandbox is big enough, we can all make castles. More and more people are emailing me to get in with multiple requests - we are already outstripped by vast numbers so we will need to work together to get as many in as possible. Stella has thrown her no views into the pot for each night making it 4 premiums and 1 no view and 7 confirmed (me included) and 2 more wanting - 9 for a total of 15 tickets. If I back out for the sake of my marriage that makes the numbers not much better. Some of you who are dying for multiples, I would kindly ask that you consider trying to get as many different people in as possible - the greater good people. I am now (thanks Jim) 100% sure that all will get who want to. This community is amazing and full of truly kind and wonderful people. Peace y'all

So I have made the purchase from Jim - amazing guy that he is. As I said in the previous post, there are too many people that want tix than what we have. I would like to go the 4th and 5th and want to spread them around as much as I can...that said, can all of you that have previously contacted me, send me your email and we get a group discussion going as to who gets what? I don't want to say no to anyone - sorry new comers - but also want the decisions to be done by the group, not by an individual. Sound fair?

OK so I am in y'all!!! WOOOOOO HOOOO Jim is the man and he made a bunch of people happy - thanks buddy, I would love to meet up in SF and buy you whatever you're drinkin' Sooooo, ok I tried to post before and since it logged me out, it rejected my comments :( Um, I will be a part of this whole SD thing, no t-shirt required, just kindness! I forgot about the coffee thing...may be an issue unless I can take my smaller rig with me (and my wife already wants me dead...) my bigger setup suitable for a coffee shop sort of needs to be plumbed or at least a portable pump for it to pressurize the lines, so may not be the best call...that and that mountie on your horse there, Mr Ed, may have words with me coming back across the border once I am done! Heck, mr Lawman in ND may also have issues with me brining $7k worth of gear in! "seriously officer, it is just to make coffee for a band of misfits in a park before a Dead show..." "step out of the car please, sir..." - rubber glove snaps - As for my time there I am now officially looking for some digs to share for the 4th and 5th...if not that's cool and I will totally stay in the suburbs and train it in nightly for the shows...this is what happens when you are late to the game! If you have digs and you want to split the costs and don't mind another bum sleeping on your couch like in the old days, I will gratefully help out! Peace brothers and sistas!

Dude may be righteous, just everything vanished so I got cold feet. I need a warm fuzzy feeling for something that requires a lot of trust - and this requires A LOT of trust. Vanished emails and no communication scares the poop out of me. Dude may be at work and can't communicate. Like I said - it may not be a scam and if they come up again and you feel so inclined, by all means. The fact he posted them as sold also bodes well for him...who knows I may be the unbelievably stupid one here. I wanted to do right by everyone here but...alas.

I want to be TOTALLY clear - seller may be completely on the up and up. He may be at work and unable to communicate - he was incommunicado last night until late too. It is just weird that only his emails disappeared from my server. It may be totally on my end - and if it is, I want to apologize to Jim for potentially damaging his image on here. I mean no disrespect and I don't want to say that he has scammed me. It is my fault for not getting more info from him - so phone number and location where he is. The GDTS confirmation email he sent was legit and sent right after rrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrr's and the number sequence made sense. So no reason NOT to trust him. I may have just crapped the bed on the best offer I will ever get for these tickets. To all I apologize

I don't follow what you mean by "vanished emails" from your MS Outlook Inbox. That would require hacking into your computer. Maybe you accidentally deleted them, have you checked your Deleted Items? Are you saying all emails from him are completely gone from Inbox and Deleted Items?

OK so like I said the dude may have been totally legit - he and I just spoke on the phone and a righteous head. Roller coaster is on the way down - everyone hands up and scream...we are back on. Argh I feel sick to my stomach...
