    The winds doth not blow today. The sea is still, but the tide is rising. Back and fill Sunshine Daydreamers. This bus has begun to float and is tugging at the moorings. Check your manifests for this final journey. One final patch of the sails and check of the rails, for this vessel will sail when the winds blow next. 2 weeks, 2 days, and 14 hours until showtime in Santa Clara! 3 weeks, 1 day, and 12 hours until showtime in Chicago!

    So now that it's close and getting closer... i want to point out that there are apps available like "find your friends" and "friends nearby". I know we don't all always want to be found - sidebars with Alice and all - but could be helpful for meet ups and... well I don't know. Stupors? I don't know if SC m&g is on S or S. But bells on just the same. Ciao goodnight east coasters... you're up.

    FYI: Looks like only an All Access Pass is available for All Dead weekend at the Field Museum (of Natural History), for $31 and you have to choose times for some of the planned exhibits. $18 for standard admission is either sold out or is just not an option for that weekend (if this matters to anyone). But the all access passes were still available as of last night. Probably going to this, if so I will get a ticket tonight. I don't think I can make it into the museum until AFTER the pic-a-nic photo and pizza lunch, and shooting for making it to the meet-up site by 11:30.

    I'm feeling a little hip, but tragically so today. I was born to be a bachelor, but Althea the Viking is waiting for me in the Field. A Sunshine Daydreamer she is. Sharing is caring, but I won't be cutting any buddies down. Spin that compass card 'cause the bayou's rising on this raft is starting to float. Da Bears. Good thing they can climb, cause they don't want to swim. Funny how they all gaily gad about no matter where the barometer arrows point. Maybe we should let them on the bus afterall. Wipe them paws before boarding the dus and use you inside claws.

Back in the 80's, my dad took the entire video of my brother's wedding with the camera upside down. The last thing on the recording is his grumbly baritone growling ... "godammit, you mean I've had this fucking thing..." One of my life's true precious memories. Man oh man, I miss that man.

Youngster! I think my first LP was Out of the Blue by ELO, or was it Capt Fantastic by Elton? Probably Elton John, I think it came out in '73-74 (I was 9-10 yrs old).

R.I.P. B.B. King! I was lucky to get to see him about 10 years ago with Buddy Guy warming up. BB sat the whole time while he played but put on a great show. A true blues legend...

And goodnight, dear B.B. Thank you for the music. It's nice to think of everyone communing together in person and remotely over the Dear Jerry fest while I was at work doing the deal. Sorry for the loss of the Blues great. It's just that Wheel. So. Here's to all our safe passage to Chicago and beyond. It will be great while it lasts <3 Boo I hope to see some of those monkeys in June. Hope they have a place to play! Sounds like there's nothing but nothing near SC. Big sigh. :) I have a gray-eyed cat snuggled up to me as I say goodnight with my brown eyes. Another two hours before rrgrr and Tonytone are up but... I think we've had enough of a day, que no? It's been a big full day. Night dreamerz... Sweetest of dreamzzz.
