    The winds doth not blow today. The sea is still, but the tide is rising. Back and fill Sunshine Daydreamers. This bus has begun to float and is tugging at the moorings. Check your manifests for this final journey. One final patch of the sails and check of the rails, for this vessel will sail when the winds blow next. 2 weeks, 2 days, and 14 hours until showtime in Santa Clara! 3 weeks, 1 day, and 12 hours until showtime in Chicago!

    So now that it's close and getting closer... i want to point out that there are apps available like "find your friends" and "friends nearby". I know we don't all always want to be found - sidebars with Alice and all - but could be helpful for meet ups and... well I don't know. Stupors? I don't know if SC m&g is on S or S. But bells on just the same. Ciao goodnight east coasters... you're up.

    FYI: Looks like only an All Access Pass is available for All Dead weekend at the Field Museum (of Natural History), for $31 and you have to choose times for some of the planned exhibits. $18 for standard admission is either sold out or is just not an option for that weekend (if this matters to anyone). But the all access passes were still available as of last night. Probably going to this, if so I will get a ticket tonight. I don't think I can make it into the museum until AFTER the pic-a-nic photo and pizza lunch, and shooting for making it to the meet-up site by 11:30.

    I'm feeling a little hip, but tragically so today. I was born to be a bachelor, but Althea the Viking is waiting for me in the Field. A Sunshine Daydreamer she is. Sharing is caring, but I won't be cutting any buddies down. Spin that compass card 'cause the bayou's rising on this raft is starting to float. Da Bears. Good thing they can climb, cause they don't want to swim. Funny how they all gaily gad about no matter where the barometer arrows point. Maybe we should let them on the bus afterall. Wipe them paws before boarding the dus and use you inside claws.

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.
