    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

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.

    @Good Morning Wednesday....
    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

Well, I think I finally figured out the programs I need to use to make a crisp image to make a better Buzz for CHI. That just sounds so right. This is such a nice family. Pass that this way. Goodnight John-Boy.

Klang - Arrived at San Francisco airport today. It's the standard for travel. All food vendors are organic. Solar arrays on the roof of the terminal. Future is now. No diesel bus fumes here. Give up the wheel and get in the cockpit.

Gotta hear those Guineas Clank, If I'm gonna get to Fennario! Working mad overtime to make it happen, Oh but it will happen, Just need that perfect set of Santa Clara's with a view to pop up for my friend, and I can put all of this "Up all night searching the Interwebs nonsense" to bed. I will still keep searching out Chicago's when I have free time. I hope someone jumped on the one I posted last night. Good Morning RRRgggRRR and all of my fellow intrepid travelers out there in cyberspace. Totem, I can't wait to meet "Buzz". I did have a nice pair of King of The Hill Boxer's to add to the pole,..Oh well! Gotta go, coffee's on and My "Dang narrow Urethra" is calling. ( Also King of The Hill) "Damn It Bobby"

My Favorite from That album: "Ventilator Blues" When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake, Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break. Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream, You feel like murder in the first degree. Ain't nobody slowing down no way, Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator, Don't matter where you are, Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator. When you're trapped and circled with no second chances, Your code of living is your gun in hand. We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words, Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn. Ev'rybody walking 'round, Ev'rybody trying to step on their Creator. Don't matter where you are, ev'rybody, ev'rybody gonna Need some kind of ventilator, some kind of ventilator. What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do? What you conna do about it, what you gonna do? Gonna fight it, gonna fight it?

The Dead show was the last one there, they tore it down shortly after. Got home last night to the wonderful aroma of a freshly baked blueberry peach pie!!! I called it, no idea the little lady was gonna spring that on me, and she doesn't read this madness...

with lunch, it isnt as good as when the fruit is in season, but frozen ain't bad after this winter,I'm thinking the '87 show was Hollander, also torn down, with Good Rats opening. When the rat dude started banging on a garbage can full of rubber rats and tossing them to the crowd, crowd throws back rats and then all kinds of stuff, drove the rats offstage pretty quick....

Ditto and well said: "Don't feel bad if you don't understand half of what's going on in here it's all good cause it's not so much what you hear but what you feel." I might add it's also not so much what you read, either but certainly what you feel. Can the Sunshine Daydreamers borrow that for our website?
