By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
@the claps
Yeah, me too brother, but I won't be telling any sisters I got the clap, if you know what I mean.
WSJ
I am convinced 1/2 the staff are former, current, and/or closet deadheads or at least have affinity for the thoughts and feelings. WSJ weekend edition has probably had more articles on the d e ad in the last 20 yrs than rolling stone. although I stopped reading RS long ago. I discovered WSP many years ago via an article on their marketing practices being so close to the Dead's...incessant touring, free taping, loose controls on copyrighted images, etc. Etc. Or that may be anti marketing...anyway I have found WSJ to be sympatico. Ahhh the weekend. ... Golf, craft beer fest in Ft Worth On Saturday. Then on Sunday celebrate the wonderul mom of my 2 great kids.don't forget mothers day because Momma tried!
@I turned 21 in prison....
And particular craft beer on the agenda?
craft brews
I think mostly Texas beers and aleS. North Texas has had quite a renaissance in craft brewing in the last 5 years as laws have caught up with rest of US. Deep Elum, Peticolas,community, Martin house....just a few of really good community of local brewers. Can't wait.

@Oooohhh mama...

da Buff has exploded with some tasty suds....my fave here is Big Ditch Brewery....they currently only do tap but canning will commence in October with National distribution...Haymaker IPA is a keeper....
craft beers
Gods way of showing us how much he loves usthat victory at sea IS a good breakfast beer rrrrgrrrr, you were correct!
@Boo Boo....
Yup....that and a Reeses Oreo gets the day off on the right foot....
Glad you liked it my friend...
In my old age I've become both a music and beer snob....
Only keep SBD recordings...and only drink craft....
Unless it's free....then it's a free for all......Milwaukees best, beer 30, PBR, hell even Keystone...
Boo have you gone to Beers of the World in that old Wegmans?
@rrrrgrrrr
Yes, I have, I feel like a kid in a candy store when I visit BotW, that is where I found the Ballast Point products. Yes they are pricey, but oh so tasty. I have to find some oreos......
@rrrrgrrrr
careful, you're gonna hurt yourself if you keep wailing like that, who do you think you are, Donna?
@vocal imperfection....
I wish.....
Man do I want Donna in Chicago.....even to just give a bleat, or yelp, a screech.....even a beer belch for chrissakes....
....
1977 Dead was the cats ass......but I digress.....
I knew it !!!!! : (
I am old!!!Yet agaiin it is a weekend night, and I am the only here!!!!
Dark Star is playing 45 minutes away,.. right now,...and I am not there, because I am OLD!!!! I have to work tomorrow again,.....Responsibility is a Heeaavy Responsibility!!!!,....I Guess!
Worse of all is the thought that "The Boys"are probably over here on the East Coast, or some of them might be,... anyway the possibilites of a "guest Appoearance" at Penn's Peak tonight, make me wish I had gone! I think I will definitely make an effort to get there tomorrow, fortunately it's their first two night run at the venue.
Anyway,...
The beers are going down smooth,.It's Friday, and I'm still above ground!!! Mr. Mad Swan,.. That is/was a very generous thing you proposed to the group earlier in the day,.. Can't wait to meet you, unfortunately, it won't be Thursday,. I wish I could,..I'm sure we all do! Have Fun for all of us!!!! I saw there was a link for the new website,...Congrats, It's Incredible!!
Craft Brews??
Fellas...Go Belgium. They invented the shit. You'll never go back.
Monk brews. The best.
Westmalle - Tripast - 9 1/2% and smooth as silk :-)
What would Jerry drink?
Hey SD Mom's - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!!!!!!
MOM'S ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!
DSO
I have seen them many times, which is in part, why I chose to work tomorrow, (It seems likely to happen again), but, I am regretting it fiercely!!! On Tthe other hand, think I may soon refrain from listening to Grateful Dead music all together until 6/27 so it will be that much bettter to hear it in a stadium!!! I know!!!! who am I kidding??? never gonna happen,..but I have contemplated.
Partial to the Fall
I soooo look forward to the Porters and especially the Stouts
hEY rGERGELIS
wHOAA wHy aM i TYPING liK ETHIS?//?? Oh, sorry don't Drink and Brive!!!1
I am
a hop head as well as a Dead Head. I like fresh hoppy :) craft ale. Mostly from the Northern Coast of Cali, but SO Cal has come on strong in the last few years(STONE,SCULPIN,GREEN FLASH). Nothing beats a freshly poured Russian River PLINY THE ELDER ...in my opinion.. Love all ya"ll !! IT"S FRIDAY!! Love Donna Jean!!!
If you claim to be a Dead Head
Then you ARE OLD.........soul. Thats what love will make you do. ....Sorry, I have Jerry" Don't Let Go" cd playing as I type this and I bet you can guess what song is playing right now huh.

heading to Ft Worth untapped festival
84 brews. several bands. food trucks. plenty of rain forecast. lots of Texas brews but also some European and other American breweries.Got 18 holes of golf in this a.m. between the raindrops. All in all shaping up to be a pretty, pretty good day.
My son surprised me with 3-29-90 release. Branford Marsallis (sp?) guest on many songs. Really good...I actually had not heard so many with Marsallis before. I like it.
Porter house steak
Don't make mine FARE thee WELL DONE.Had a little mother and son time today, he let me show him some grateful dead which is what I said I wanted to do
With him
"For mothers day" Showed him 20 minutes of the tie dyed documemtary and the opening animation of the grateful dead movie. my jaw dropped when he called it trippy (he's 12)!
He asked lots of good questions like what was the wall of sound, where did the band get its name, and what were the acid Tests.
Best Mother's Day- ever.

What does The Promised Land look like?
Stranger stopping strangers.
Just to shake their hand.
It will happen, during the coruse of our time in Chicago, that Daydreamers will run into each other (even if it is not on a spreadsheet).
They will greet each other, but not know the other’s name. After declaring “I am [SD name here], and I miss Jerry”, there will be a warm embrace.
Ah, such a touching, timeless scene. Passersby will take note and will remember seeing that embrace by strangers, who yet seemed to know each other somehow.
Timeless.
Good Morning all you Dreamers....
Another glorious day here in da Buff, we broke 91 yesterday, a WNY record....
Coffee is on, taking the better half, and the boy and his woman out to brunch after getting right with my Lord....

I can see the sunlight reflection of all that white winter skin from here. It's like the AURORA BOREALIS. Don't forget you're shades or ya might get snowblinded.
