    There is - and I have been hearing it a lot lately...I think for now, I will live off of Live Music Archive as long as I can, before the estate takes it all down (like they tried to do) and start charging for all of it.

    Friday the 13th Indeed
    Received my MO's in the mail today. Postmarked March 10th. At least I know now and will be able to process my disappointment some before my birthday Monday - better today than then. I'm doing my best to keep it all in perspective. I've lived in Chicago since 1988, and was blessed with glitter tickets for both of last shows in 95 at Soldier field. A buddy and I had a little 23 foot sailboat named Sundance at the time that we moored during the summers at Burnham harbor (the harbor at Soldier Field), so we were able to sail during the day and sleep aboard after the shows. I remember there was another trailerable named Wharf Rat that was there for the shows that we partied with - it really was a magical weekend. I also was able to attend both shows at Alpine Valley when the Other Ones got together the first time after Jerry's passing. Alpine Valley has always been one of my favorite venues (second to Shoreline) and it was at those shows I decided if I ever had a daughter I would name her Cassidy. DSO also plays frequently in town (saw them February 6 at the Vic) as well, so, as I said, I really am trying to keep my disappointment in perspective as in my head I know it could be worse. I will jump on my bicycle each morning of the shows and head down the lakefront to the parking lot looking for my miracle. Although I am becoming resigned to the fact I won't be inside (no scalper tix for me), I won't miss the opportunity to celebrate life with you all - my Grateful Dead family - one last time. It's not everything I had hoped for and imagined as I stood in line at the post office with others in the family, anxiously reviewing our envelopes, index cards and artwork as we waited for the next available teller, but as I type this I realize it's really not that bad of a consolation prize. The community has always been an important part of the experience for me. With or without tickets, I hope to see you all in Chicago this summer - we can dance in the parking lot together...

exact same situation. i have my copies of my cashed MOs but cannot get confirmation from GDTSTOO that I'll get tix. Elvis @ GDTSTOO said I'm not on the reject or "winner" lists. It will take a few more days to conform...but I've heard that 3 times now. hard to stay patient. I "assume" i have tix, and you probably do, too, but really need the confirmation.GDTSTOO cashed my tickets.

thanks for the reply. i have gotten the same response from elvis- not on the winners list or rejection list. i know i am not on the rejection list because my MO's have been cashed. i am either on the winner's list or stolen list. i am stilling holding tight and being patient. i went to the post office on monday and filled out a 6401 form, so i guess i will find out sooner than later who cashed those MO's. i will keep you posted on my situation @mkav. i am rooting for us!

I am still in limbo. MOs were cashed but no confirmation email. Elvis said I should be good to go and that they just lost me in the database shuffle. Sure would be nice to get a confirmation and info as to what tickets I 'might' get. Are there others out there waiting (hoping) like me?

hey now. i was in limbo land for a very long time. i was lost in the data base as well, but elvis found me and sent me a confirmation email about two weeks ago. i was in communication with him for a while. all of my correspondence to him were respectful, patient, kind worded, mellow, and reasonable. he always got back to me and he, in turn, was respectful, patient, kind worded, mellow, and reasonable. he really tried hard to help me out. i think if you keep corresponding with him, in a reasonable manner, he will find you in the data base and get back to you. those folks at gdtstoo had a big job and i thought they did a good job and made the best out of a very difficult and trying situation. my hat is off to them. also, if you sent gdtstoo a postal money order you can file a PS form 6401 with your post office. it cost $6.10. i did this for ONE of my six money orders. i received a scanned copy of the money order. on the back of the money order, it showed the offical GDTSTOO stamp on the endorsement line. this gave me a piece of mind and i would recommend doing it if you are worried that they were stolen. good luck to you! i am sure you got tickets. from on limbo lander to another, i am pulling for you. see you in chi!

I had similar experience as HeadyB. By all means, trace at least one of the MOs to be sure GDTSTOO cashed them. I emigrated from limbo land to the promised land when Elvis was finally able to confirm my tickets, but I was 99% of the way there when I saw that GDTSTOO cashed my emails. I emailed Elvis my MO #s...almost immediately after that, he confirmed my tix. It may have been mere coincidence on that part, though. Good luck. If GDTSTOO cashed your MOS, you should be good.

You were right. After waiting patiently, Elvis sent me my congratulatory email last night. See y'all in Chicago. Now for those California tickets.

that is some good news thornwave! enjoy the shows and see you there. i found santa clara to be a very easy ticket. there seem to be way more extras floating around. i was able to find two for each night, face value- worse seats (also the cheapest- which is nice) in the house, but we are in! good luck to any other limbolanders!

There is limited availability of 12 and 20 person Sky Suites for the Chicago Fare The Well shows. They are obstructed view but there will be big screens showing the band. The tickets are $200 and you must buy the whole suite. I don't know which dates are available but if you can round up enough buddies to do this it will at least get you in. You can contact them at suites@soldierfield.net and ask for information. Hope this helps!

HeIlo all....

I am searching for Bobby and Billy NYE Kauai tickets they sold out today. Do you have any idea where I might locate these on a ticket forum in the Dead community? I am really looking hard as I want to gift a ticket to my beloved for Christmas. Any help would be much appreciated. 2 tickets would be ideal but 1 would be just fine as well. Thanks for any leads!
