Where would I be without my woman? Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman? Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day. Come sit beside me in your way. Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman? Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

    Have some good SC shows..... Rest of you....this bus keeps on a Rollin' We roll our own ..... Trees swayin' in the summer breeze Showin' off their silver leaves As we walked by Soft kisses on a summer's day Laughing all our cares away Just you and I Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights Gazing at the distant lights In the starry sky They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go No no no no And when the rain Beats against my window pane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go No no no no And when the rain Beats against my window pane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you And dream of you

    apologies to Peggy Lee.... Yes, it's a good day for singing a song, and it's a good day for moving along; Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong, A good day from morning' till night Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes, and it's a good day for losing the blues; Everything to gain and nothing' to lose, A good day from morning' till night I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun Rise and shine today" You know you've gotta get going If you're gonna make a showin' And you you've got the right of way. 'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills; And it's a good day for curing your ills, So take a deep breath and throw away the pills; 'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.

    Scalia's descent on the subject of gay marriage:"Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality [whatever that means] were freedoms? And if intimacy is, one would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie. Expression, sure enough, is a freedom, but anyone in a long-lasting marriage will attest that that happy state constricts, rather than expands, what one can prudently say." He likes hippies I guess..

    Everyone is trying to get to the bar.The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven. The band in Heaven plays my favorite song. They play it once again, they play it all night long. Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. There is a party, everyone is there. Everyone will leave at exactly the same time. Its hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, and so much fun. Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. When this kiss is over it will start again. It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same. It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be so much fun. Heaven is a place where nothing every happens. Heaven is a place where nothing every happens. You know what, the Sunshine Daydreamers bus is like a Seinfeld episode....it's about nothing....and I like it, I like it a lot!

    Thanks for the tune, always a good one. This was played a few days ago but I'm bringing it back today: Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight... say good night Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time Before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo Sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and, Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh

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...

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!

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.
