    Wow that's pretty cool. I didn't get picked even for a case today and was dismissed early at 2pm. I get $24 for two days. Back to the mines tomorrow. Have a lovely evening all!

    So, ok. how weird is it, that I spent the day at the Cook County Court House at 26th & California (lovely neighborhood, if you like jails.) How did I spend my day? In the JURY ROOM. In the morning, I got to color (my newest kick.) In the afternoon, got to sit in the panel and get asked questions by a smart old judge, who loves his job. Fortunately, he didn't pick me, and I they sent me home at the end of the day with a $25 check. Made any more, and I might move away! I tell ya -- I don't know how people that work in the city do that commute on a daily basis.

    pretty blue lights
    RIP, John Jeremiah. There's a road I'd like to tell you about, lives in my home town Lake Shore Drive the road is called and it'll take you up or down From rags on up to riches fifteen minutes you can fly Pretty blue lights along the way, help you right on by And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace, help you right on by And there ain't no road just like it Anywhere I found Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town Just slippin' on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound And it starts up north from Hollywood, water on the driving side Concrete mountains rearing up, throwing shadows just about five Sometimes you can smell the green if your mind is feeling fine There ain't no finer place to be, than running Lake Shore Drive And there's no peace of mind, or place you see, than riding on Lake Shore Drive And there ain't no road just like it Anywhere I found Running south on Lake Shore drive heading into town Just slicking on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound And it's Friday night and you're looking clean To early to start the rounds A ten minute ride from the Gold Coast back make sure you're pleasure bound And it's four o'clock in the morning and all of the people have gone away Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive, tomorrow is another day And the sunshine's fine in the morning time, tomorrow is another day And there ain't no road just like it Anywhere I found Running south on Lake Shore drive heading into town Just snaking on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound

    No i'taint..... Jerry n Merl n Kahn n Tutt ....that's the ticket..... You got a lotta nerve To say you are my friend When I was down You just stood there grinning You got a lotta nerve To say you got a helping hand to lend You just want to be on The side that’s winning You say I let you down You know it’s not like that If you’re so hurt Why then don’t you show it You say you lost your faith But that’s not where it’s at You had no faith to lose And you know it I know the reason That you talk behind my back I used to be among the crowd You’re in with Do you take me for such a fool To think I’d make contact With the one who tries to hide What he don’t know to begin with You see me on the street You always act surprised You say, “How are you?” “Good luck” But you don’t mean it When you know as well as me You’d rather see me paralyzed Why don’t you just come out once And scream it No, I do not feel that good When I see the heartbreaks you embrace If I was a master thief Perhaps I’d rob them And now I know you’re dissatisfied With your position and your place Don’t you understand It’s not my problem I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You’d know what a drag it is To see you 3 plus weeks outside of Chicago and still Jerry jonesin'

    I met a lot of women everywhereI met a lot of women, I don't care But there's one girl sticking to my mind The girl with the yellow flower painted on her behind Thought that she was just another girl Livin' in this or-din-ary world When I asked to see some kind of a sign She bent down and showed me the flower on her behind Yellow flower, I love-a you Yellow flower, you're the sweet flower anywhere around Now I know that someday there'll be three Someday soon she'll come away with me I guess I knew all along she'd be mine The girl with the yellow flower, painted on her behind You know I love her truly (I love her truly) The girl with the yellow flower, painted on her behind I'm just crazy about her coolie The girl with the yellow flower, painted on her behind Right on!

She crept into my mind. I knew I had to say hello (hello, hello) She smiled up at me She took my hand and we walked through the park alone But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew) She had made me happy (happy, happy) Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere I love the flower girl Oh, I don?t know just why She simply caught my eye I love the flower girl she seemed so sweet and kind She crept into my mind Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun). I turned around she was gone (where did she go). And all I had left was one little flower from her hair. But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)  She had made me happy (happy, happy).

I love the flower girl Our love shall lead the way To find a sunny day I love the flower girl Was she reality or just a dream to me?

Agreed - I will be REALLY happy come mid June when I get a certified mail tracking number or an email saying "so yeah I will be in this bar before SC shows..." I think we are all good though

So I know everyone is waiting out this drama with baited breath. To ensure he is on the up and up - he has suggested no cash, no pay pal, that we should just meet in SC and exchange money order for hard tickets face to face. Righteous head. Very glad I was wrong...now to convince those I was in on this with to see the light...

If he is showing up at Santa Clara with Tix in hand, just wait and buy Money Order then,...there's Post offices there I'm sure.

If this dude is so righteous, why wouldn't he split tix so no one has to take a huge hit like $2600?

He doesn't want the hassle and after the decision today I had to make as to who got tix and who didn't I don't know that I blame him - that job sucked. Hard. Yeah we can wait - that was his point. We all need to relax and get our sh*t together...what the one dude say "hey man I am just trying to get my space together before I go into the show..."

There is a couple wanting to exchange vows at Santa Clara show June 27th. They are seeking someone with the authority to conduct the ceremony. They just posted their request on another forum. Mayor's have this vested authority do they not? This would be pretty cool.

If you can get married at a show,...should'nt it be legal to get divorced at one as well. I guess that could be more difficult when it comes to property distribution. Who get's the Micro-bus,...etc...

Haha Bobby - funny. And also your previous emails make sense. If money orders work in person... doesn't cash work in person? I guess if he wants something slim and replaceable, no. Still not sure who this guy is. Where he lives, why he's not going... mysterious. And if he's a hacker stealing emails... that is bad. I would think he would let us all pay separately... But we would still want to be protected - via ebay, or cashortrade, if they do that. Oh LE SIGH.... I'd rather think about happy heads hitching the knot at halftime. <3

Off to local Flea Market to search out Vinyl...Last year around this time, I obtained a very nice copy of The White Album, complete with the poster and 4 color Glossy 8x10's (with no circles or arrows drawn on the back explaining what each one was) --Arlo Guthrie reference,.....anyway this was the real deal. The 8x10's of each Beatle were on real Photo paper, not the later issued xerox type pictures, and the serial number is embossed on the front cover,..in white of course, and vinyl in very good to excellent condition. So I felt overjoyed to take it home for a mere $20.00. Sometimes people are in such a hurry to clean out their attic/basement/ that I get these things for a song $1 or $2. I need a miracle everyday!!! Hope everyone is well and this fine Sunday morning finds you all in good spirit.

Good morning and be careful out there SDers! Put your money in your shoe. We aren't patching sails and shining rails for nothing. 69 days to the Golden Shore 75 days to Sweet Home Chicago or should that be the other why around? What's for sure right now is we have broken the 60s seal in the countdown which is deserving of some Sunday morning primal Dead wherever you are. Enjoy your day!

Happy Sunday...going to put on my go to meeting clothes.... I am so sorry, I would have posted earlier but when I woke up the letters on the keys on my keyboard were gone. Now the keys were there but the letters vanished in the air. So after some problem solving, I went to my local supermarket and bought me a box of alphabits.... After some research I glued the individual cereal bit to each respective key and we are back in business.... Wow, what I missed.... a twilight zone email episode... A pending marriage... A roaring silence, a grab of the white album...an early totes count... Ok back to the song.... You shout and no one seems to hear, and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the DSOTM.... have a truly beatific day.... If you don't know it, look it up don't just skip over the word like I used to.... ;-)

I'll cruise for a bit - then into work to make people's days a little brighter. Maybe I'll hear Box of Rain on the radio there. It's been known to happen. Considering playing hooky and meeting you all at the pool... could use a little relaxation and time with a good dog (after being kept up half the night by a busy cat). I'll think about it. Need my second cup. I'm up EARLY today. Believe. I haven't decided what day "Standing on the Moon" will be played, but it's going to happen... both places you think??? xoxo Stells.

Blue skies, not a wisp of wind and forecasted to be in the mid-70's. As soon as I quaff my iced coffee it's off on a run with my trusty canine companion Kai. Although there's plenty of sails to patch and rails to shine, it looks like the office beckons today. It happens. Big event tomorrow, so rehearsal is needed. Hoping to have a Watkins Glen kinda day. . . . Have a good one, everyone!

Watkins Glen appears to be some sort of Nascar thingy, and funnily enough, posts: Sunday, June 28 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen 69 Days 23 hours 26 minutes 21 seconds We are synching up with words minds and hearts and it feels like it might be alright. Break a leg BobLB!

Maybe it's a California thing, but quite a few of my friends' wedding ceremonies have been performed by some other friend who went on the internet and got "ordained" as a Universal Life minister.

I am actually from NC and have lived here majority of my life. It's a beautiful state with Blue Ridge Mountains and incredible beaches so best of both worlds. Asheville is great and I'm near Appalachian State Univeristy. Lots of artists, musicians, forward thinkers. And too much development because of the beauty. Having said that we have high taxes and current political leaders are a bit of an embarrassment. But we're working on changing that :)Come check it out..

"Hey properlejdi, please take your ball and glove and play elsewhere... Dude, your intentions may have been good, but your recklessness yesterday put multiple SD brothers & sisters here in financial jeopardy. We don't need that kind of help. Prop, last night was your final at-bat dude...there's a ton of other places for you to play on dead.net - just don't play here, please. No need for a reply - peace to you. Out." Sure - I will let buddy know to put them back up - I am out a $200 deposit but sure. I was trying to help and if this is the general consensus, sure. Oh and for the record, I would have been out a ton of money too. Also without anyone else but those involved knowing what happened (I paid $2600 yesterday and everyone was afraid - they didn't pay actual hard money; I did). I would suggest you put yourself in my shoes. Paid $2600 to a guy on this site, who just joined, and the emails disappeared from my inbox (no word of a lie) - they are still gone but subsequent emails are still there. This happened right after one of the individuals questioned whether this whole deal was legit. I went numb and started shaking. Buddy gave the money right back and is willing to give the tickets face to face for a money order - doesn't want to be walking around with a wad of cash - don't blame him. Nor does he want to be walking around with 12 tickets and a sign in SC - again don't blame him. So pass judgement all you want - I was trying to help; AND the one taking all the risk. If you were in my shoes, you would have panicked too. For the guy who decided to send me a PM telling me in more polite terms to f-off, sure man. My recklessness was not trying to put people in financial ruin, but rather help out as many as I could. That included me forgoing shows to get others in...so thanks for the judge, jury and execution all in one shot.

Been brainwashed by the dead since 73.....at times to family detriment... After 7/6/15 Gonna hang up my travelin shoes.... And live on memories, hopefully the best will be us strangers having become friends on the path to Chicago.... repeat after me....I'm a deadhead... And I miss Jerry....
