COOL Marye!!!!!!

tickets

anyone know when presale tickets get mailed out?

Pre-Sale Tickets

Good Morning, wondered if someone knew when the pre-sale tickets would mail. I ordered tix a week later on regular sale date & rec'd those weeks ago. Thanks...Ron

Any info on mail dates for the Gorge?

I am hoping they dont get lost in the mail...and curious when charges will take place? TYVM Mark

Sometimes people post a series of photos and I notice if I comment on one of them it removes it from the series and takes it to the top of the latest post list, disrupting the original series. Is there a way that the person posting the series can note on page that it is part of a series of say, five and a way that the viewer can easily look at the series?Also, someone here in one of the forums mentioned some topics being buried beneath other topics. Is there a list of all forums? Perhaps I am just missing some obvious accessibility but there are certain forums that haven't been posted in, in awhile and I would like to go back and read. For example I am always looking for a good book to read and if I dig around I could probably find that book forum but I would love a big old list. Peace & Music from old Docks here, on dialup, in more ways than one. Again, Peace

Questions, questions, questions

If users who upload photos that are a sequence would include a sequence number in the subject line it might make it easier for other users to follow that sequence, especially if the upload user's identity would return to the fan photo page layout (hint, hint.) If you go to a user's page all their uploaded photos can be found there. Regarding the forums, if you look at the top of left side of any page you should see a nav section titled "table of contents." The sixth major item from the top is the doorway to all forum topics regardless of how recently anyone has posted in them. It will take a little poking around to figure out where everything is as there are many nooks and crannies holding the melted content. Sorry, couldn't resist. Perhaps if there was a page structured like an exploded tree of links to all forum topics (sort of like a site map) it might make it easier for users to find specific topics more readily. Dialup? Ouch. I feel your pain. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I would add to Mr. Pid's excellent answer

that "melted content" does rather rule the day. For example, you'll find almost as many people looking for tix in Tix Offered as people with tix for sale. So discussions are not always where you expect to find them. Hence you may find that search feature in the left-had bar useful also. E.g. if you want to find all discussions involving the Gorge, you can do a search for "The Gorge" and it'll bring up everything with the reference.

Advanced Search brought me rite back here

Thanx for the tip on search but it seems there arent any answers so far to that question.The closest Ive seen is mail out dates 2 weeks before show ...not specific to the Gorge.............I will get by

Marye

What is there like 514 pages on deadnet? Why could'nt you give each page a specific number, alphabetical order the topics and maybe have a spot on the home page for search topic {like google} to access topics or pages quicker. If you could remember a specific number, it would be much easier to relate a number with a topic.Just my opinion, Phatmoye

phatmoye

the really short answer to that is that while we're looking at ways to make the place a bit more navigable, the fact is that the software on which this site runs is seriously deficient in dealing with some of these issues and some things are more fixable than others. Also, there IS a search function right there on the left, right above My Dead.net, which should help somewhat. But believe me, we're aware of the situation and trying to do what we can.

phatmoye

also, some folks have suggested bookmarking topics you like, and you might find that a useful workaround.

spring tour

hey now, I was wondering if you could tell me who I might speak to about volunteering on spring tour.I trained with Calico. I passed out garbage bags in the rain with her at Alpine 89'. Whatever I can do to help make shakedown street a safe and fun experience, sign me up.I remember when the only way I knew what day of the week it was by my ticket stub. I couldn't wait to get to a dead show just so I could change my clothes.

Music Today not shipping 09 tickets?

Is anyone used to the two week prior to show shipping from Music Today? I just want to make sure I'm getting the tic's I bought as I'm not used to waiting to just before a show to get delivery. Is this the regular way they do it? WE'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS TOUR SO I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS! WE LOVE YOU JERRY

Counterfeit/Bootleg items on eBay

Is there a email address to report bootleg GD items on eBay to? I buy licensed GD items and sell on eBay and there is a ton of counterfeit GD items that I sell being reproduced in China and Thailand and being sold on eBay. Looking for someone to report these to. Thank you

jmontoya

I'll pass this up the line and see that it gets to the right person, thanks much.

Press contact

I am looking for a contact for Press Passes, any guidance since I can't find a management contact? Thanks for help. Peace & Blessings Doc

Press passes?!?

That's almost as funny as this: Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

GDTS tickets........

Greetings.... I know Ive asked this already....sorry....but...I did pre sale through GDTS for the Gorge...first day faxed in request....still nothing has been charged to my card ...I am going to be on the road in the next few weeks and hoping to see some action or update on the charging process for that show...I dont mind waiting for tickets as long as I know my order has been processed. Any word on when this might happen? Thanx!!!!!!!

rebel

Not having ordered Gorge tickets, I can't speak to the status, but you might get a more direct answer by going to the GDTSTOO.com site and contacting the ticket ladies directly.

Just have a question

Why am I laughing so hard at Mr. Pid's Video response to the DoctorTrip? Just a question. _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Why am I running so slow on Dead.net

I've been running real slow hooking up to dead.net lately. I've done alot of work trying to speed it up with the puter. Is Dead.net really busy or is it my puter?_____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

it's not you

the new releases and whatnot are drawing quite a crowd and things are a bit slow. This will probably take care of itself, but it's not you and we're aware of the issue. Thanks!

FYI for all waiting for Gorge GDTS pre sales

Greetings.... I just received this reply from GDTSTOO...... We will start processing the Gorge in the next couple of weeks. You should be ok. On Mar 24, 2009, at 3:28 PM, Hope this helps anyone interested!!! gonna be a long long long crazy night!!!!

thanks Rebel

I'm sure this will be a huge relief to many!

camera policy at upcoming Dead shows?

Are cameras allowed? SLRs? professional gear? Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question - any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! (looking forward to the MSG show and seeing Bob and Phil with the Allman Brothers tomorrow)

jlb

historically still cameras including SLRs have never been a problem and video cameras almost always have. However, I would check with the venue as different ones have different policies.

dead.net online ticket orders??

Has anyone received the tickets that were ordered online in January through dead.net? Albany and Worcester are three weeks away and still no tickets.

Taping for 3/30/09? What about the rest of the tour?

Howdy! I do not have tickets for any shows on Spring Tour (yet) and just won a ticket to Roseland for this Monday! Yippppeeeee!!! I am wondering what the taping policy is for Monday's shows and the rest of the Tour??? Thanks! Brother Antonio (^_^)

tickets

I ordered tickets for Buffalo and Izod the first day theybecame available from this site. I still have not received them - is this normal the shows are coming up soon. Help thanks joe

joe

I get the sense that they are shipping the hard tix out really late to prevent scalping, but you should have them in plenty of time. There's a lot of discussion of this in the various venue topics, so you might want to compare notes with people over in the relevant venue topics (e.g. Meet Me in Buffalo).

E-mail alerts and messages

I never recieved any alets and/or messages on friday 3/27 about shows on Monday 3/30. Did not hear about them till I logged in after 9:00pm. Just wanted to make sure I am signed up, which i thought I was ,, for all future announcements. Peace

crippledbutfree...

Same thing kind of happened to me...I didn't get the email announcement until late Saturday night and by then when I went to click on the link it said it was no longer available. So I know I'm signed up, just didn't get the email until it was too late.

crippledbutfree

if in doubt, sign up for the email list again. Also, if you're already signed up and didn't get the notice, check your spam filter, because misbehaving spam filters have been known to grab vital messages!

private messages

Hey Marye.....Can we still send private messages on here?? I found an old friend on the user list and would love to know how to get a hold of him. His user name is Cassidy Dodge. Thanks ...Chris

hey Chris

if that's his user name and he doesn't have messages blocked, you should be able to send him a PM; just go to his profile page and click the Send A Message link.

hey marye

I must be blind or dumb cause I cant see send a messge link on his profile page. Under heading PERSONAL MESSAGES it says "block messages " thats it. ...chris

Hey Marye

Hey... I think I got it now. I went to edit my account and I had not checked the box " allow pM's " I guess. When I now pull up his profile I can write him a PM. THANKS !!!! ...Chris

all's well that ends well...

thanks! Good luck reconnecting with your pal!

use of image

i have knit a sweater with what i hope looks a lot like a stealy on the back its not a print of the image or copy or reproduction its a knit sweater and i would like to sell it its highly impressionistic and im wondering if this is breaking the law as far as the image copyright is conserned

GDTS

I would like to know if GDTS sends out an e-mail before they send off the tix or do they send them out and they show up at the door??? I'm still waiting on 2 for 4/22 in Wilkes-Barre. From the Western Union in Ottawa here they do not do any american money orders so I sent a canadian money order. Know I relize that they asked for american money orders only and with the exchange I could be short by 2 or 3 dollars with our dollar falling since Jan. It will be a true miricale if the folks at GDTS can fix my order up and send some sweet tix. Any experiences out there with GDTS fixing things like this???

canuck

I would go to the GDTSTOO site and take it up with the ladies directly. Someone posted the latest mailing status in the tour topic, and I think Wilkes-Barre is just now in process, but I could be misremembering.

The kind folks at GDTSTOO

Thanks Marye, I have been asking and the latest word they tell me is that they have mailed my tix!!!! I can't believe it after I royaly screwed up my order, they made it right and have sent my order out. I allready have tix through Consider it Dan but with these now I can bring my 19 son who worked the winter on the ski hills out in BC and is coming back for the summer. I will now be stalking the mailman for a couple of days. LOL Fare Thee Well

Anniversary!

Are there going to be any special events marking the 5th Anniversary of the new deadnet? I think there should be! I wonder if Marye can be persuaded to write a piece for us on her experiences as our heroic moderator over the years. I am sure there are many untold stories she can share with us (amended to protect the innocent and guilty of course). How about it Marye :-)

How about even being able to examine the product that

you might be interested in purchasing, INSTEAD of a mini billboard of a 'related product' obscuring the view (picture) of what you might be wanting to buy. This is a bizarre way to try and sell stuff. To hide what you want the customer to see, behind a picture of group of 'related products'. Or the even more strange when you hide the product the customer wants to see behind a BLANK 'related product' cutain which obscures the product the customer was attempting to view. So the idea is that every purchase should a mystery (grab bag?) at the GD store? "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it's what you know for sure that ain't so." M. Twain.

Hide gazillion "product" threads

Is there a way I can hide the product threads? It's bothering me to have to wade through so many of them to find the threads I want to read. OR how about one catalog thread-showing all of the products in there. I guess they are what fund this site, but...to me it feels like the community feeling is tipping over into sales only.

fan photos

On the community page there's a feature for uploading fan photos, and we THINK that it's working properly now after much drama, so give it a try...

Yo, joe dimaggio! (YC747)

If the dead.net store doesn't have it (and I assume that is why you posted here, otherwise look there and support the band) then go to Amazon which has 8 left in stock. I love Deadset also. It rocks. Also, Reckoning is the pick for choice acoustics from this run.

photos of fans

Hi - is there a section on this site where we can upload photos of fans from shows? I have lost touch with many tour friends over the years and would love to share old photos. :) -Angela

Still not received my DP Vol. 1

I subscribed on the very first day Dave's Picks was advertised back in October, but I still have not received vol. 1. Two calls to customer service led to a replacement being sent (on 23 March I was told - I never got an email confirmation); however this one has still not made it to Europe. All of my previous orders with dead.net arrived within 15 days. I am particularly concerned, and posting this plea here, as DP1 is now sold out and DP 2 will be shipping soon. Marye, can you please help? Thanks.

Where can I get..

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask but maybe you can steer me to the right place? I have a cassette, " Greatful Dead, Dead Set" on Arista from around 1981. It's a 2 album recording with some of my favorite tracks like Samson & Delilah, Brokedown Palace etc. It's worn out and I'd like to get it on cd. Anyone know where I can order it? Thanks..
