    Thursday night in Chicago - 7/2/15
    GM SD'ers !!! Hey now, for anyone interested and getting into town the day before the shows, rrrrrgrrrrr and his wife, and my wife and I will be heading to The Kingston Mines (a classic Chicago blues club). Given there will be three wonderful days to Let the Music Fill the Air from Friday to Sunday, Chi-Town is one of the blues meccas in the US so why not take in some or the local color, right? http://www.kingstonmines.com/ Note: AND TO THE RELIEF OF MANY OF YOU....I AM NOT ORGANIZING A FIELD TRIP FOR THIS :-) (but if Totem attends, we may have a 2nd daily event countdown!!) PS - if any of our local Chicago peeps have another or better recommendation, bring it on please.

    For anyone who hasn't seen DSO - they really are great! I've seen them a few times in Baltimore over the years. They replicate a past Dead show start to finish. Lots of fun! The Vic might be a good Thursday night group activity for whatever SDs are in town?

    Hey now! Sorry I went dark on you guys. Been interviewing for jobs and had a big one to prepare for. My husband would like me to continue to support the lifestyle he has become accustomed to... How can I help?

    Totem - perfect. I forgot DSO. I'm sure more and more will be popping up, so I'm real glad that you're on it. Also it's Pink Talking Fish :) rrrgrrrr - OCD or none, nothing wrong with writing the name of a band, or spelling a word correctly. I too honor the alphabet. I respect and revere my given and unusual name (Chandra), but Stella sure has a nice ring to it! Thanks family. ps. un-dead but Chicago-weekend related - I will be looking into the possibility of Blues and House music (both very Chicago related). If any of you have a line on either of those, please PM me or otherwise drop me a line! I may only have enough bandwidth to do all of the Dead related things plus probably the Art Institute.

    Stella, Funny you say that. I was making a table of after shows at work today, uh, during a break, I planned to send out I left it on my work laptop, but I can send it out early tomorrow for inputs. Sound good?

My plan is dead x3 and explore other musical and artistic scenes, while all those are excellent options.... No one does it better than the Dead! Stella STELLA....love to say that.

I imagine the post-Chitown SD fallout will see a lot of accidental tourism, hijinx and belly laughs--all fueled by the boldest roast in the land. Oh, and the food, we can't forget the food. Some will shine rails, others will patch . . . spreadsheets. From the Florida beaches to the snowbanks of some frozen, underpopulated bastion of all things NFL, and all points west between, Daydreamers will come together with their SD Tees (note--do not mix up that acronym!) and shake hands not as strangers but as newfound friends and family all because of a single ripple in time that occurs every half century or so. No doubt that if the band took a gander at us, they'd say "One month so far."

Just saw on the early morning news that a local man was found dead behind a grocery store dumpster. He was found face down covered with Cornflakes and milk and had a banana sticking out of his ass. The authorities think it was the work of a cereal killer!!! ; )

Can't wait to C photos of Luna and hear about her favorite song! Bird Song? I'm thinking there will be so many critters that we will need a spreadsheet. Tony, what's up man? Had a couple extra ounces of java this morning and it probably shows! Have a great Administrative Professionals Day, everyone!

To drink already today, I think I had better take the wheel. I just had half a veggie burrito and I'm about to re-up on the java (just got some beans called Silken Splendor from a vendor called Philz), so I'm good for a couple hours. Was verbally attacked by a crankster at a bus stop a little while ago for being on my phone (I was emailing the SDers, obvi), so I'm feeling grateful that I have a good attitude and generally try to stay positive (you know. GENERALLY - unless someone really deserves it ;). Okay. I got this - until the scenery gets too goo [sic] then someone else's turn, okay?

Will there be pie? I could use a slice of blueberry pie with some vanilla bean ice cream. Late night pie is the best! Tastes the best after the sun go down. Any post-show pie stories out there?

We are old Dead fans and were shut out of mail order, shut out of Ticket Monster and denied tickets for the CA shows. Feeling very very Blue for an old Illinois fan- just wanted 2 two tickets to be part of this party with like minded folks.
