    I lost my boots in transit, babe
    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.

Tony, thanks for keeping an eye out for those ticket deals that can help a fellow SDer! It's much appreciated. I PM'd will74, but no dice. He hasn't gotten any other offers, but cheap obstructed view SC tix are not very appealing, even when you sweeten the deal.

Sorry just got back from inspecting the bus..don't worry about the scratches, and yes ma'am you really know how to off-road...but there nothing wrong with kicking up a little mud every now and then..right? Your fashion sense is impeccable...the fuzzy dice and the doggy whose head goes boing boing boing when you hit a bump really make this bus feel like home...oh yeah, that mean people suck bumper sticker rocks... So Geeky....Bus license reinstated.... Baby you can drive my car ummm bus 8 days a week!!!!! Have a fantastic day! One more thing, Lisa is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho... Here fido, fido? ...bark bark bark!

.... And how does he know I sleep by a Medicine Jar? COSMIC DEBRIS Enter—the transitive nightfall of diamonds. There are crop circles dancing in a wave on Neptune, with corn rows gleaming from the man on Mars. Tail feathers toss toward a flute near Venus. Fly me like a rainbow to the nearest star. Sirius B has nothing for me. Anunnaki women want to dig my scene. Don’t take me seriously; I’m bluffing like a rookie with a pair of queens. Moon Unit lands with a Zappa on Pluto. Yoda on Saturn plays steel guitar. Moses rides in on a doggone quasar. Captain Trips sleeps by a medicine jar. Sirius B has something for me. Hot Nibiru babes try to make my dream. Don’t greet me furiously. I’ll drop you like a comet heading to the east. Exit—the transitive nightfall of diamonds. Frank Zappa

Still no tickets yet. I offered for a Field GA ticket on ebay at $600 and was countered at $650 but that was just before the PPV was announced yesterday so I'm inclined to turn it down at this point.

And I still can't decide if I'm bringing relish or chopped green onions. I saw the GD play Green Onions. I believe it was Rochester. I never saw them play relish, but I think I saw some in Jerry's beard once. May I'll just bring catsup.

RRRRRRGGGGGRRRRRRRRR, you still driving this thingy? Being that we are an environmentally friendly group, I have to assume the bus is powered by clean burning no emissions natural gas. So, I am here to help (yes, I'm still here for all of those shaking their heads!) BTW, it is not nice to shake us too much, we might get dizzy. So since I just hopped back on the bus (y'all)(again), there's no need to stop for gas.... ...I had a gigantic burrito for lunch (and it's not the veggie type). "HEY, SOMEONE CRACK A WINDOW OPEN MAN!"
