    not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon.

    I haven't been here for a while, but if the mayor is still Klang, he passed on the Dear Jerry tix as he was already offered them. The kind soul passed the gent with the extra onto me, I accepted and then life got in the way... Peace

    Whazzat Revisited: the Pic-I-Nic, the Mayor and the Horse
    Not withstanding my earlier characterizations, and continuing the discussion, there are many ways one can view the thoughts and the happenstance responses that find their ways onto our fine Sunshine Daydream Home Thread. For instance, within the rambling stories that weave their collective ways through these fine forum threads, there is also a discussion, a sermon, a pleading, a dream, a dance, a song or three, and a reaching out. Whether it is from a Brother or a Sister or a Father or a Mother or a Daughter or a Son, it is real...or maybe not. But guaranteed, Somebody cares about Something, be it Real or Imagined, and they are letting all of us know. Turn up the Bass, Tune the Banjo, shut up during Space, I need a ticket, Who's on first, it's important, whatever it is. So we reads, and we posts, and we explore. We share. We anticipate, we plan, we rejoice and we get saddened....hopefully, the saddened moments are brief and fleeting, and if they are not, they are somewhat lessened by the comfort our family can give. We are fed, and we feed others. We are family. Sunshine DayDream: At Once a Thread, a Home, A Couch, A Bus, A Book, a Church, a Soapbox and Thank you very much rgrgrrgr, a dining room. A Pic-i-Nic? Certainly. over there, at the SE corner of the Buckingham Fountain, in that little grove of trees. Meet-ups start as soon as you can get there, and end after the last people say adios. Bring your own everything, and a bit more for your neighbor. A Mayor? We have several, they meet here. Not unlike the park bench over at the town square in Maintown, USA, populated with those Who Make The Important Decisions, they have this place. No one is in charge, each gets to be a blowhard as the baton is passed, and all issues are carefully pondered on before a proposal is offered or a decision is made. Each is a Mayor in His/Her own right. All of us get to drive, to give advice, to give directions or ask questions or provide answers or extend a helping hand or share an encouraging word. A Horse? Now that's another issue altogether. Hey you over there with your hand up...tell us about this horse deal. Film at Eleven...thanks for staying to the end....or is it.... PS I Miss Jerry too! geopondermeister

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.

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!!!

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.
