    I haven't heard anything yet about a broadcast in one of the parks, but it is a possible an announcement could be coming. There are several parties going on that viewing the show around town such as like with Leftover Salmon who is also playing sets. I don't think we've made an official list yet, but someone is sure to have a spreadsheet for that soon! See you on Northerly Island! Here are the best bets so far: City Winery and Park West will be live streaming the shows. Fare Thee Well Live Stream from Soldier Field City Winery Grateful Dead Streaming Party Hosted By Leftover Salmon Park West Hear it live from the Field Museum's terrace: Everything Is Dead 50th Anniversary Party The Field Museum

    According to Shapiro, if you haven't received tickets yet, you're getting the best of the batch.

The dus briver says he has medicine for dat. 2 weeks and 3 days to go + 13 hours to showtime in Santa Clara. 3 weeks and 2 days to go + 11 hours to showtime in Chicago. Somebody get me a Doktor.

    welcome aboard, and you too Gomez, Morticia, and Pugsley. and yes this is the infamous Sunshine DayDreamer bus..... and we are on the road...seemingly to nowhere right about now, see I've temporarily lost perspective and direction...strange forces from the Stinson Beach area have my compass all asunder.... but I digress.... Coffee is on and it's spectacular...steak and eggs as well.... Cousin It seems to be enjoying them...oh I'm sorry I didn't recognize you Klangstone, love your extensions...but get the hair out of your eyes.... Got my humping pants out...ready for the mines yet again.... Sarge has his trusty cell phone and his eye on the mail box.... Wishing, and a hopin' and a prayin' here....in da Buff.... as I told Mr. Mayor back in March...where there's life there's hope... things always work out, rarely how we anticipate...but always for the best.... Have a safe and pleasant day all! (thanks geoalwaysamanofreasonandperspectivemeister...) Hey you Uncle Fester, get that lightbulb outta there....no don't stick it back in your mouth...wipe it off first!

    Hi guys, new here to dead.net but longtime head. My hubby and I are brining our Sirius Boombox to Chicago for the weekend of the 4th and luckily they will be broadcasting the show...thank you Sirius! We will be camping at a state park near the city and travelling in to town to be near the scene. Hopefully there is someplace to gather for those of us who can't be inside the show. We'll be blastin tunes wherever we find ourselves. Peace to U!

    Repetition works for me
    I'm not the dullest tool in the shed, but sometimes the light of awareness takes a minute to seep in... thank you for the repeat-information Totes. I would have been sad to miss it. Overwhelmed by emails every day of my life, the last three months included. Trying not to spend all my time looking at screens but right now it's a loosing battle - laptop (pretty little thing), phone, terminals at work where I order everyone's tacos - Rrgrr forgot to tell you I brought some home yesterday. They'll be a little soggy in the fridge by now so how about Sargeant (sp) gets a treat and I'll bring fresh ones home tonight. Seared ahi with maui onions? Fried Alaskan cod? We just switched to organic chicken so all the mom's and dad's are going to be stoked. Sub tofu if you're feeling the veg way!! I'm ready for a change. I'm intending that my time in Chi may be leveraged into a new chapter... we shall see. I am overeducated and really greedy: I want more. I'm really grateful for the friends I'm making here. Lovelove

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).
