Checking In

Hi All, I've been out of the electronic loop for some time - just moved 1,037 miles and am just now catching my breath. So...are you guys going to try to get tickets to MSG? I'm really not looking forward to the spinning ball again but will do what it takes. Hoping the SD'ers will be reuniting!! Miss you guys, Anita

@ Dancin in the Street

FYI the STL Cards are giving a portion of their Dead tribute night proceeds to the Rex foundation. Glad I decided against the 1st Dead and Co. Couldn't make it if we tried... Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house Though I know you're not home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back" I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but- I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone

@Summers here and the time is right..

One soft infested summer Me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe The fire we born in Catching rides to the outskirts Tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house Getting wasted in the heat And hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets With a love so hard and filled with defeat Running for our lives at night on them backstreets Slow dancing in the dark On the beach at Stockton's Wing Where desperate lovers park We sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings Huddled in our cars Waiting for the bells that ring In the deep heart of the night We let loose of everything To go running on the backstreets Running on the backstreets Terry you swore we'd live forever Taking it on them backstreets together Endless juke joints and Valentino drag Where famous dancers scraped the tears Up off the street dressed down in rags Running into the darkness Some hurt bad some really dying At night sometimes it seemed You could hear the whole damn city crying Blame it on the lies that killed us Blame it on the truth that ran us down You can blame it all on me Terry It don't matter to me now When the breakdown hit at midnight There was nothing left to say But I hated him And I hated you when you went away Laying here in the dark You're like an angel on my chest Just another tramp of hearts Crying tears of faithlessness Remember all the movies, Terry We'd go see Trying to learn to walk like the heroes We thought we had to be Well after all this time To find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park And forced to confess To hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Where we swore forever friends On the backstreets until the end Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets...

@ DWK

hahahaha, one shot, two shot, coppertone red... Arabella's got some interstellagator skin boots And a helter skelter around her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs a shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella, oh As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure Arabella's got a 70s head But she's a modern lover It's an exploration, she's made of outer space And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And a kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella, oh As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure That's magic in a cheetah print coat Just a slip underneath it I hope Asking if I can have one of those Organic cigarettes that she smokes Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke Makes you wish that you were the bottle Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like... Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

@Sunny Daze

Not a care in the world, just trying to beat the heat.Body like an hourglass, sand on her feet. Can't help but stare cause I got the best seat. Just when I thought it couldn't get any hotter you slid on in, Said, "I'm a little hot and bothered, if you know what I mean. Let's crank it up to a hundred degrees." Alright You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet. Burned me up and down, no way to cool it. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Like a bottle of Jack straight to the head. One shot, two shot, copper tone red. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Slow driving south with the drop top down, Hair in the wind, Tom Petty up loud. You gave me that look, you licked them lips. I said, "Hang on baby, better pull over for this." I don't wanna get DWK, driving while kissing they'll put you away. You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet. Burned me up and down, no way to cool it. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Like a bottle of Jack straight to the head. One shot, two shot, copper tone red. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Well, you hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet Burn me up and down, no where to cool it Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet. Burned me up and down, no way to cool it. But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head. One shot, two shot, copper tone red. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey. Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

@Debbie Downer

I see a red door and I want it painted blackNo colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they're all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door I must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Hmm, hmm, hmm,..

@ Don't need no hateration, holleratin'

in dis rafterie... I'm feeling mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door And in between I drink Black Coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room I'm talking to the shadows 1 o'clock to 4 And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black Coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dream's too dry Now a man is born to go a lovin' A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her oven And drown her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes I'm moody all the morning Mourning all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much hard to fight Black Coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby To maybe come around My nerves have gone to pieces My hair is turning gray All I do is drink black coffee Since my man's gone away

Oxygen is REALLY Good

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

Don't do that anymore...

Some may worry that that was my source of paranoia - total on me. Emails are still gone and still weird...

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...

Properlejdi

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.

By The Way....

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

Good Question

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..."

Paging Mayor Clangstone

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.

How Awesome is that?

Seriously that is awesome that they want to get married during the intermission - that is awesome. Peace and luv, peace and luv

How Awesome is that?

Seriously that is awesome that they want to get married during the intermission - that is awesome. Peace and luv, peace and luv

Hope they can make it happen.

Ought to be someone there to perform the service out of all those people.

I Wonder???

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/Waah

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

Hey properlejdi...

Hey properlejdi, please chk your PM.

Good Morning Sunshine Daydreamers

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.

the lunatic is on the grass

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!

....and if the dam bursts, thunder in your ears......

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.... ;-)

~Good Morning~

Good Morning All Sitting back with first cup of coffee in hand...Puppies on my lap...reading all your posts.... And wanted to greet you all with a smile and wishes for a blessed day

@Saundra....

What a glorious day we have... On second cup of coffee here.... Dog is sleeping, again... Hope you have a restful albeit productive Sunday! :-)

Morning

It's a rainy cool day..perfect for being cozy and kinda lazy..

@rain?

Where's you at? It is sunny and crisp...blue skies, no clouds, high of 70 today...in Buffalo....

Pool side....

And floating in the raft with my new GD 50th Tervis cup. That's my agenda for the day. All are welcome - bring your swimwear :-)

Cool and Clear in CA

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.

sec. 445, row 34

For me, it will be Standing on the Moon all three nights in Chicago :-) Happy Sunday, all.

Haha Sister. Well said.

I'll be in 355 ;)

Perfect Day

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!

I did the work for you

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!

weddings

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.

@rain

Hours later I respond ;)I'm in the western mountains of NC...absolutely beautiful but rainy spring..and I think we may resemble Seattle with current weather pattern..rain 4 days a week of late. Continue to enjoy this perfect Sunday

@marye

That is so cool..... have a serendipitous Sunday... We use this forum to expand our minds and vocabulary.... back to shoveling 6 months of grateful Pyrenees remnants....

Let it rain....

Well it looks like rain, and it feels like rain, here comes the rain... 4/22/78.... Nashville, TN....oooohhhyeahhhhh....Donna was there Cosmic moment here, listening to dead concert on SXM and that song played as I saw your post....

@Cassaundra

How is NC? That has come up in conversation a lot lately - and is currently on my short list in my daydreams of peregrination.

@StellaMoon

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..

@Saundra

Ever hear of a musician named Brittany Reilly.... Her and her boo Brent Hopper.... Played Asheville plenty... Blue grass Jam style Love NC.... YouTube Her version of Luckenback Texas.... To die for....

@stella

I almost forgot...being a mountain girl I felt compelled to tell you the prosopography of us mountain folk..otherwise referred to as 'hill billies" is way wrong. We aren't nelipots in shacks. :) ;)

@rergelis

I just checked them out..great versionI love Bluegrass..this is the home of Doc Watson. Are you by chance going to Dear Jerry?

Sure

"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.

@blue grass.....

I love it as well....if you ever get a chance see her...she does play Asheville.... unfortunately no Merriweather for me... promised the better half I'd obsess over Chicago and then I'm out... 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....

Absolutely Nothing

Nice...SSIA as Rich would say. Have a blast people.

@bluegrass

This is the great summer for soothing my soul with music...the Chicago shows and the grand adventure getting there has been the focus of my world of late. It is a blessing and I've never been as grateful to be on the bus. I miss Jerry soooo much.

@ grass of any type, not picky

Looking forward to making a hillbillies acquaintence.... fell free to lead the way here....something comes to mind....say it we all drive the Vdub.... Just that I got the map..... peace kid, got more yard cleanup.... wonder if I can trade 80# of dog manure for a ducat?

@ I Know

I too am a Deadhead, and I miss Jerry.

Mauka/Makai

Wow Cassaundra - that is the second time this week I've gotten chills/goose bumps from someone telling me about NC... I for sure ned to check it out. Being from Hawaii with part of my heart in British Columbia, my ideal spot is mountains and ocean. Thank you for the inspo! I know you guys. I miss Jerry too.
