    There's no place like home but there's also no place like a Dead show...and I think I'd rather be at a Dead show! Gonna listen to Jerry on Broadway tonight. Wanted to get settled in and put it on the surround sound in the living room. Relax and enjoy from the comfort of home. Took FOREVER to get out of Chitown, they cant drive for shit up there. They need to come south and we'll show em how its done! Best time of my life during the weekend! Cheers :)

    Hey there Daydreamers, how goes it? It's so hard to come back down from that weekend high we have all just experienced. I never wanted that feeling to end. I am so emotional right now, on the verge of tears. Sitting at my desk trying to get back to work but little memories keep flooding my mind... We packed up camp yesterday...cause it looked like rain. The weather was so gorgeous the entire weekend. Just exactly perfect sums it up correctly Jeff! The shows were more than I could have ever imagined. I wish I could have been born sooner to get to be a part of this earlier in the game. No amount of money is worth the experiences I took in over this past weekend. I loved meeting everyone and so hope that we can get together again soon! I feel eternally Grateful for being a part of the Grateful Dead Experience and I am now a true blue Sunshine Daydreamer. Thank you Grateful Dead for a real good time! Matt took great photos of the pic a nic and all the weekends festivities and will get them out to you asap! So who likes Baseball? Cause the STL Cardinals are having a Grateful Dead Baseball night in September where they will give out shirts to everyone that has all the dates and venues they played in STL. Great time for a meet up! Centrally Located! Meet me in Saint Louis! Love you Guys!!!!!!

    With everyones comments....just too hard to "turn-off" what we've all ate, slept and drank for the past nearly six months leading up to this past weekend. WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! And for all the complaints folks had in one way, shape or another (yours truly included) you have to tip the cap to Shapiro for what was an absolutely flawless and way, way, way over-the-top production of the shows. Lamp post signs Roses upon entrance day one Daily programs (w/ night before pictures) Sound, stage and lighting like I've never seen Fireworks on the 4th that were the best I've ever seen Bonus works on Sunday night - WOW !! On and on...I know I missed a ton. And I'm STILL TIRED...lol. So happy and grateful for this entire experience - we did it gang - what fun :-) I'm compiling my pics now and will send out in a mail blast. LOVE TO ALL !!

    I've been putting off this note, because I can't find the words,and the lyrics of another just won't do. It was a magical weekend, and I wish to thank you all for making it that much more. Each one of you brought something special and unique into my life. I hoped your loved our city, as much as I loved having you here. rgr, there is a little place in my heart forever yours. Love, K. p.s. to the owners of Sect. 110, Row 1, Seats 1 and 2 - we hope you were where you wanted to be, because we enjoyed your seats for the second set Sat & Sun. Thank you! p.p.s. from Sect. 445, Row 34 (the very last row) -- the fireworks Sunday were INCREDIBLE! p.p.p.s. At 1:50 p.m. on Monday afternoon, the skies are darkening, and it's about to storm. What, you guys took my sunshine away? Bye, now.

I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.-Jerry Garcia 6 weeks, 3 days, and 14 hours until show time in Levi's Stadium. 7 weeks, 2 days, and 12 hours until show time in Soldier Field. 6 weeks, 2 days, and 4 hours until we set up camp at Klang's house for the Sunshine Daybreamer weekend BBQ.

Sounds like it's going to much bigger. Hope the Mayor has a good safe place to park the Klangmobile. T-Horse has really copped an attitude since getting an agent and doing those commercials for Direct-TV.

"Klang" will be a notorious prefix, sort of like "gate" is now as a suffix, except "Klang" will have good connotations the polar opposite of the "gate" suffix. Ex: that was a Klanggood time or what a Klanger of a FTW show or too bad Trey isn't a Klanger.....

Tinfoil. Meeting your psychonaut needs for over 50 years. 6 weeks, 2 days, and 12 hours until showtime in Levi's Stadium. 7 weeks, 1 day, and 10 hours until showtime in Soldier Field. Thomas Edison recorded Mary had a Little Lamb on tin in 1877. He immediately realized tin makes an awfully flimsy record. He promptly fashioned the recording into a tinfoil hat and placed it on his head. He then began reciting Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary instead. He jumped so high, he touched the sky. Never got back until the fourth of July. True story. Really..... Patch those Sails and Shine those Rails!

King of the road... Well, there's no pool but there's a pond. OK it's more like a swamp but it should do for the shellfish in a temporary capacity.

The porta-potties will be of the utmost modern type with full running water and flushability. Unfortunately, they will be paypotties. $1 a splash. Sorry, it's a sign of the times.

Two years and nary a trip down the cookie aisle. A serendipitous left turn led me to this sugar wonderland, past the Mint Milanos and directly to Oreo cookie land, with sights, sounds (OK, maybe the sounds were my own) and flavor combinations heretofore unimaginable. There, sitting by its lonesome, was a single package of Reese's Oreos. Fueled by promises of (ahem) oral pleasure, I rescued that package, and as dog is my witness, consummated our bond on the NSFW drive home. Alas, it may be a spring fling, but for one night, the sugar and chemicals flowed. Edison has his pretty maids all in a row but pb and chocolate is where it's at. Spill the wine and take that pearl! Patching and shining and ready to set sail over the mountains in six weeks--have a grateful day, dreamers!
