    @ There's good times to be had
    takin it easy, day by day Glad for the blue moon tonight. Well they tell me of a pie in the sky Waiting for me when I die But between the day you're born and when you die They never seem to hear even your cry So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what's mine and then The bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Ooh, the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down Trying to drive me underground And they think that they have got the battle won I say, "Forgive 'em Lord they no not what they've done" 'Cause as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share of what's mine and then And then the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Ooh, the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all And I keep on fighting for the things I want Though I know that when you're dead you're can't But I'd rather be a free man in my grave Than living as a puppet or a slave So as sure as the sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now what's mine and then And then the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Ooh, the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Hey, the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all Ooh, the bigger they come The harder they fall one and all The bigger they come The harder they fall one and all

    @Hey Ringo!!!!
    Pun intended.... It don't cum easy! Plasma, platelets, blood, sperm.... Take it Jethro..,,. Nothing is easy. Though time gets you worrying my friend, it's o.k. Just take your life easy and stop all that hurrying, be happy my way. When tension starts mounting and you've lost count of the pennies you've missed, just try hard and see why they're not worrying me, they're last on my list. Nothing's easy. Nothing is easy, you'll find that the squeeze won't turn out so bad. Your fingers may freeze, worse things happen at sea, there's good times to be had. So if you're alone and you're down to the bone, just give us a play. You'll smile in a while and discover that I'll get you happy my way -- nothing's easy. Take it easy Holly!!!!!

    @ HAPPY BIRTHDAY
    I take it how I can get it! You have a great weekend too! Tell Sarge Happy Birthday too. Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one g step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again, oh noooooo I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees Birds like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers, by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again, oh noooooo (Short instrumental interlude) There would be another song for me For I will sing it There would be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you - and wondering why (Longer instrumental interlude) MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh noooooo, o-oh no-ooooo

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.

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...
