    Oof that's a bad day
    for Commander Cody. I'll bet at least 88% of us know what that's like. Every last thing... but these are better days. We have a place to be and Holly is gonna get us there. Uncle Rrrgrrr, did you figure out who bounced out the back? Maybe it was just that extra luggage we don't need no how - Bobloblaw's gonna teach us all how to travel light. Best for us, gas mileage, running from windows and this gorgeous planet. Be the light. But give me coffee first. <3

    Hey morning Stellz..... Philz on my doorstep....should have a pot of Silken Splendor on soon.... Hit it Pupper.... She keeps Moët et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake,' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild.. She's all out to get you She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try...

    Bob teaches us all we need to know about ourselves..."the simplest way to put it is, I have problems..." That whole movie is everything. I'm going to put my headphones on and watch it from the back here, is that okay? It's a bed coffee kind of morning anyway. One of my mothers went on a trek in Nepal and every morning the sherpas would bring her Bed Tea. BED TEA! Is that not the best? I tried to be good and was a tea-in-the-morning kind of gal for a lot of years. I will be again sometime, when the first outside-task of the day is working in the garden... until then, java in my cup! I like the feeling back here anyhow. Holly at the wheel. Sarge keeping an eye out for bumps. Everyone else singing, mumbling, or snoring away. Perfect way to step into the day. Bed Coffee.

    SSIA.... I'm goin out back a second.... Stella, move them feet....thanks... I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go Well, I saw your other man today, he was wearing my brand new shoes And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Well, I met my old friend Bob today from up in Bowling Green He had the prettiest little gal that I'd ever seen But I couldn't hide my tears at all 'cause she looked just like you And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Now everybody tells me there's other ways to get high They don't seem to understand, I'm too far gone to try Now these lonely memories, they're all I can't lose And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Well, my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home That's just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Got the down to seeds and stems again blues

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).

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.
