    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.

You know, I find there are some advantages to watching a show from the comfort of one's home.

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.
