    Thursday night in Chicago - 7/2/15
    GM SD'ers !!! Hey now, for anyone interested and getting into town the day before the shows, rrrrrgrrrrr and his wife, and my wife and I will be heading to The Kingston Mines (a classic Chicago blues club). Given there will be three wonderful days to Let the Music Fill the Air from Friday to Sunday, Chi-Town is one of the blues meccas in the US so why not take in some or the local color, right? http://www.kingstonmines.com/ Note: AND TO THE RELIEF OF MANY OF YOU....I AM NOT ORGANIZING A FIELD TRIP FOR THIS :-) (but if Totem attends, we may have a 2nd daily event countdown!!) PS - if any of our local Chicago peeps have another or better recommendation, bring it on please.

    For anyone who hasn't seen DSO - they really are great! I've seen them a few times in Baltimore over the years. They replicate a past Dead show start to finish. Lots of fun! The Vic might be a good Thursday night group activity for whatever SDs are in town?

    Hey now! Sorry I went dark on you guys. Been interviewing for jobs and had a big one to prepare for. My husband would like me to continue to support the lifestyle he has become accustomed to... How can I help?

    Totem - perfect. I forgot DSO. I'm sure more and more will be popping up, so I'm real glad that you're on it. Also it's Pink Talking Fish :) rrrgrrrr - OCD or none, nothing wrong with writing the name of a band, or spelling a word correctly. I too honor the alphabet. I respect and revere my given and unusual name (Chandra), but Stella sure has a nice ring to it! Thanks family. ps. un-dead but Chicago-weekend related - I will be looking into the possibility of Blues and House music (both very Chicago related). If any of you have a line on either of those, please PM me or otherwise drop me a line! I may only have enough bandwidth to do all of the Dead related things plus probably the Art Institute.

    Stella, Funny you say that. I was making a table of after shows at work today, uh, during a break, I planned to send out I left it on my work laptop, but I can send it out early tomorrow for inputs. Sound good?

    Did I get it right.....there is no us....as in Sunshine Daydreamers...without u...My best way to apologize for misspelling a sisters name.... My plan is dead x3 and explore other musical and artistic scenes, while all those are excellent options.... No one does it better than the Dead! Stella STELLA....love to say that.

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!

Like waking up to Mickey and Bill doing their thing. Last drums I saw I'm sure Mickey was playing a rubber chicken at one point, but after the show no one else knew what the he'll I was talking about. Anyone ever see that? . Sometimes the chickens we hear are just birds of own.

Been beaned by a number of those solid black varmints in my day....quite the projectile when launched appropriately...one broke my friends nose in Uniondale LI...he had quite the prodigious beak beforehand...but after the ratattack was never quite the same.... Love the garbage can baseball bat playin rat throwing Good Rats... They weren't the best at what they did.....not even close....they were the only ones who did what they did... To those who care....seek out Tasty 1974 Warner Brothers Records.....still in my top 10 of all time studio albums....eclectic Long Island street music.... RIP Peppi Marchello....hope to see you in Rat heaven someday....
