    We had a technical malfunction on ba dus this morning.... Seems while Pupper tried to spin an old 45....the song vanished in the air.... Think we got gremlins on ba dus.... Maybe the dreaded dus police....be on your best behavior....perhaps a Sting operation.... Well, gonna give it another shot here..... Whatcha got there Sarge? Ahhhh suspicions correct..... hit it....

    @the Roses<It musta been<I don't know
    ahhh....the day after....where is it? Uhoh, gone again...once again it's missing....why? I was really paying attention...I knew it would be so...I was hoping it would come true...we were childlike in anticipation...then it did! Yup they stole my face right off my head...and I do so love it when that happens...where is it? there it is, patiently sitting there next to the smug kitten-purr puppy-waggle head who is smiling from ear to ear...ahhhhhhh...all better now. Digress time, as Shirley says to Stanley, while we gather our thoughts again...there's one!..and get ready for day two.. How can we miss you when you won't go away...please stay, Irene, the diet-challenged lady ain't gonna sing, ever, cause it cannot ever ever ever be over, rover. We don't want to miss you, we want to kiss you and hold you tight: the music, the dance, the song, the laughter, the sharing and caring and love for all of this and that and you and you and you and yes, you too bring to this world; our Dainty Ever-loving Amazing Darling family. How come there are not any locks on ba dus? Because you are welcome to get on anytime, stay as long as you want; no need to luck the doors, nobody ever wants to leave. That's right, Women are smarter! So, about those roses...and the petals...and the ever so sweet fragrance of the Boys singing and playing last night...my oh my, we were treated to a feast at the first sitting, and it was so good. Seeds were planted; we read and remember that there-abouts a band sprouted forth some 50 years ago. We remember with love those who started the garden but left too early...starting with PigPen and ending with Jerry, you will always be here in our hearts... Thank you Bobby and Phil and Billy and Mickey for doing what you have always done so well, for taking us back, for bringing us forward, for pushing it furthur...for keeping it fresh, for surprising us with that song only ever played once before, and thank you for reminding us how timeless and universal the music is. ...round about sometime last Tuesday a fortnight and three score or more days ago we saw this shiny dus pull up outside, with a briver who had a twinkle in his eye and a song on his heart. Springing forth like a box load of excited puppies dumped on the carpet of life before us, we scrambled around, rolling and prancing and dancing and dashing and wagging our little tails we all got to know each other. An oreo? A cuppa Joe, a spot of brew? A hug, a smile, an extended hand? Why sure, for we were apart, and now we are together. Turn up the Dass, briver, this is the good part. Last night we gathered from all across the land and became one again. Thank you for being part of the whole...and let's do it again and again and again and again... geoyesweareallplayinginthebandmeister

    oh, you're here.....morning...Sunday I guess.... Coffee is on....thanks geosomuchfunlastnightwishyouwereatourbuddyohwaityouaremeister, Miami kid you are worthy, Stan and Totes....n all you in SC.... I feel invigorated, refreshed and spent... Dominant and violated.... Trey, I love you, man.... Where have you been all my life..... BTW Stellz.....see that rainbow?.....came in colors everywhere...... Just like the days of old..... Drink all day and rock all night..... That's how the song goes.... Now get your rest, Sarge move over, Stella needs her rest..... Now that your up Pup.... let's go back to where it all began, just like the boys did last night.... the book of Genesis... The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave. He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy, To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair, The scene of death is lying just below. The mountain cuts off the town from view, Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. Let it be revealed. A waterfall, his madrigal. An inland sea, his symphony. Undinal songs Urge the sailors on Till lured by sirens' cry. Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change.

    Your heart felt good
    It was dripping pitch and made of woodAnd your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

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 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.

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?

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.

I've seen them dozens of times. But I'm going 7/2 in part for that reason - high probability of special guest appearances. Most of them (Donna included) have previously shown up as unannounced guests at one time or another.

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.

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.

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.

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.
