By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
@Lisa and the rest of us....
Preach it girl...
My better half is along for the ride.....and that's it.....
As are Id say 80% or so just of our merry band of 35 or so
Give or take a spascarella.... If he ever shows up for his welcome package........
Hey Steve? Where's you at brah?
Seriously Geeky if only true heads had tix.....there would be 40% more miracles.....
I like math....
but I miss Jerry!
@Spouses along for the ride
Hey maybe we can do something nice for those widowed by the Dead? Even a pretty card with some tie dye wonderment and a little thank you special one sentiment...
I think tie dye would look very cool on a vellum...for you guys that's a paper!
Yes......
I second that emotion, spouses, friends, soul mates who love US more than we love ourselves....!!!!!!
We need an artist and ideas.....
Volunteers?????
On behalf of the congregation....Yay we say!!!!!!
Klang I'm voting yes for you, mmmm ok?
Tony we need boxes and columns and a subcommittee....
Somebody take the wheel....I gotta go opine a minute.....
@ Geek; rrrrrgrrrrr
OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus.
It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this:
"MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"
this could be big.....
Have totes make them a flag that says I'm with Buzz.....
We need rails shined, we need digital countdowns, we need pontification, we need Canadian bacon, we need Florida Sunshine, Cuban spice, Texas hospitality, California Fun, Horses, Chicago BBQ, #88,Rochester soul, Buffalo snow, that grass growing in Saundra's state....and whatever else it takes to make this happen....we need drums and space and Bieber....And we need Stella!
Klanger, I'm your proxy here....
Unanimous.....
Hey I still miss Jerry here, focus please.....
Don't leave me hanging.....
Can I get an agnostic. "I know"?
I'm here
Sorry, responded to your nice emails. Ready for the welcome package and ordered my t-shirt already.
My girlfriend will not be coming. Tried to convert her but she's not interested. Played her all of the Dead's country tunes but to no avail. Oh well.
Steve
@spascarella
On behalf of Munchkinland I speak for Mayor Klangstone as well...
SO GLAD YOU MADE IT.......
Coffee is on, shuggah in the house....
Roll on up to the bar, and smoke em if ya got em....
This is a free form forum for the most part.....kinda performance art with soul...
We are all one in Jerry and all you need to say to us to complete initiation is....
Confess you are a deadhead and you miss Jerry...
Fate will decide the rest.....
steve spa
Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son.
grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?
Ambivalence
Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails...
I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that.
I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry.
My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;)

Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Most likely you go your way and I'll go mine....
Love 75 Rolling Thunder Dylan....
Have one more cup of coffee...for the road....
heavy cream n sugar is flowing like wine....
....dogs begin to bark now...HOUNDS begin to howl....watch out stray cat people....little red roosters on the prowl .....
just cuz I could....
and we know, all of our respective digits know....
@tfonts
Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows!
Am I right?
@FWT
Sigmund at your service...
4 years of psychoanalytic training.......
Zo you dreamed of a tunnel unt a banana?
Shirts are good....
Or thank you cards....
Gift baskets...
Party favors.....
Little baskets with seashells and sea horses.....
Gotta do something...
How about we just tell our significant others we love them and appreciate their co dependence of our addiction....I will..........just sayin'
Or have Klangman preside over divorce court at the fountain....
Your mileage may vary.....
Follow your arrow wherever you go.....
We are so not well.....
But what a hoot to read :-)
Mama Bear's making home made Za for dinner tonight - yeah baby !!!!!

Jerry Garcia
the pumps dont work
Cuz the vandals took the handles.
When will we learn this never works.
Just sucks and riding out the rage.
This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far.
All that gone.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name
Just checking...
..how early the first pick-ups are on this bus route.I recall hearing bold talk about a 4:30 am shift.
Lower the Sails and hold the Rails
Tie down the deck, a huge storm is coming my way off the Gulf of Mexico. Sorry California, keep patching those sails, and if it's clear, leave it there!
61 days to SC.
67 days to CHI.
Watch those skies fontsman, it might be coming your way!
@a mighty wind a' blowin'
thanks for the weather report ....sweet
Can always count onTotes....
@ totes...
Yeah baby - I'm getting weather advisories now...looks like mama nature gonna put a bit of a hurtin' on us today.
Hey bro, as you know, it's the price we pay to live in paradise :-)
How's your flip-flop tan lines looking today?
Patch-em' !!!
@Tfonts
we pay a different price for a different form of paradise up in the northeast, Eh rrrgrrr? Beautiful day today, nothing but blue skies and mid 60's, could use 10 more degrees, but this ain't bad at all, not after this winter. So nice out I had to break out the bike, nothing like pedal power..pass the java if you would be so kind, maybe one of those scones...
@Boo469....
Right you are Boo buddy.....
65 and sunny here, no wind and cloudless blue sky.....
Guess us Nor'easter's adapt to it...we have all 4 seasons, past 2 winters proved to be a harsh mistress, but Spring, Summer and Fall in the Buff and Rachacha are the cats ass.....
Assuming Toronto weather is similar, eh? Nanuk??
Fresh pot of coffee is on, scones out of the oven....
cream and some sugar on the table....
back to work on the southernmost regions of mental health.....
@ boo...
Yo Boo, cool cat dude !!
And bro, I grew-up in Philly. You can keep your "four seasons" and frozen tundra, and mountains and mountains of snow. I paid my dues.
Kinda like it where the weather suits my clothes :-)
(although we're gonna get slammed in about 15 minutes with a big ass storm...lol)
Later !!
@Tfonts
That is one of my boys, Black Bart, he's a Bombay and he likes to greet me when I arrive at home, that is him with front paws up on my thigh, he is quite a character. It isn't the 4 seasons that are so nice, but living through a winter up here makes you really appreciate the nice weather, and when it is nice here, it is fine! and a little snow doesn't bring down the house......
@tfonts @boo
Yo T,
I know......
somebody help a brother out....that avatar was a nice memory of Philly but we are done with the past....tear that old building down...btw great run in 09.....saw it with JeffTOO
@Boo...
Where you been living, son. West Seneca NY had 7 feet of snow in 3 days November 2014......
Now that's a lot of melting....
@ avatar tech support !!!
Somebody put my change through !!
PA-LEEEEEEZE !!!????
@the rectum.....
reading that title over again....mmmmm...let it be...might spur new interest in our mindless banter.....
I remember being there in the 70's for a Rangers Flyers Stanley Cup Game....Eddie Giacomin vs. Bernie Parent....
Great memories of an old careworn barn.....
I would tear that old building down.....
@Boo
Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum.
Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast.
We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-)
Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment....
If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down...
And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.
Any where the wind blows
Nanuk from the North reporting blowing winds.May on its way...sell in May and
Go away? Taxes on my
Mind. Can't complain, at least the health care is
Covered. Right doc? By now my mental health bills would have made me house poor. Socialism communism canadian ism. All I am saying is give peace a chance.
ye old avatar @tfonts
I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following:
1) Remove picture from profile.
2) Do not add new picture.
3) Close your computer down.
4) Click your heels three times.
5) Turn your computer on again.
6) Wait 48 hours.
7) Add profile picture.
It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place.
Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway.

Tony click them heels thrice....
Shirley you jest
And Frankly, I've always wanted to be a weeniemeister....

Thanks guys...

@LaVerne....my rides here....
Shirley just got the 3:10 to Yuma...

RIP Warren Zevon.....
almost miss you as much as Jerry......
@Baltimore
Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos.
Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless!
Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
@Mike
Yessir, despite all the chaos here, you drove the point home....
mean people suck.....
just give peace a chance....John Lennon sang that at that Live Peace thing.....eh?
Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon?
Nah that place with Yonge Street, Bay n Bloor.....and all those cool record stores back in the day......
anyway welcome back Mr.Mayor....
