    You are all *something* else, thanks for that..
    You are all part of that X factor, that unexplainable extra reason why I/we did what we did. I try to explain it to my non dead head wife. "Was it the music she asks"? "Yes" I answer.. "Was it just the music she asks"? "No there was more" I say. Was it the adventure? Yes there was plenty of adventure, hitching, sleeping out doors, making do, waking up covered in dew far away from home, giving things away, having things given to you, meeting strangers/friends, missing class, quitting jobs, following a crazy path that somehow improbably seemed to work out. Was that all? No there was something else, the quest, the music the adventure, the crazy path, the friends all that plus *something* else. This forum, this chat this group.. You are that something else !!! Thanks

    Spectrum was a great venue, no doubt. Spent a few evenings there myself!! Love the tee, tfonts! I used to wear a tee to all concerts...sure I made the purchase on the lot somewhere. It read "Who are the Dead and why do they keep following me?"

    You need a pic kiddo. Let's get some cool thingy up there for your name. Can't believe no comments on my Spectrum T-Shirt. That was my "Dead" home....most played venue in this great land of ours !!! And of course was there in '09 just before the wrecking ball tore it down. Unveiled a tie-die 53 in the banners - OMG....CHILLS. And the encore that night? Samson and Delilah of course...."if I had my way....I would tear this ole building down." Alright...I better go see my wife before the divorces me !!! God bless her poor soul....lol

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.
