    @Here comes the weekend....
    Coffee is on.... When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name

    Repeat after me....I am a deadhead and I miss Jerry.... Hey there Katniss....sorry I missed you....and I do miss you...... Even after 30 seconds of us time...that's all it takes sometimes..... Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn Cow moo this morning, just be boo day You better come and get it because we gonna give it away We're gonna give a little milk and give a little cream We've got the best that you have ever seen Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn We're gonna give a little birdie a little margarine And when you get that note you'll be pleased We're going down the pasture into the woods We're gonna get a little something that's mighty good Last night I heard papa and the mama say You better stop her before she give it all away If you want a good steak come and go with me I know a place to get the best that you have ever seen Calling all cows down on the farm Calling all cows up to the barn But when you've heard this song you'll be mad at me I'm just talking about a little milk and cream I'm just talking about a little milk and cream I'm just talking about a little milk and cream

Blame it on the partner that suggested wine at 4:00 p.m. Who the HELL in their right mind wants to be a partner? Miss you guys... rgr, how the hell can you miss someone you met for maybe, 30 seconds? Where the hell were you when I was so much older then than now? Cosmic fuck up, if ya' ask me.

    Oh I could hide 'neath the wingsOf the blue bird as she sings The six-o'clock alarm would never ring But six rings and I rise Wipe the sleep out of my eyes The shaving razor's cold and it stings Cheer up sleepy Jean Oh what can it mean to a Daydream believer and a Homecoming queen You once thought of me As a white knight on his steed Now you know how happy I can be Oh, our good times start and end Without all I want to spend But how much baby do we really need Cheer up sleepy Jean Oh what can it mean to a Daydream believer and a Homecoming queen

    Until we meet again... Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart Good Night

    I leave you with this little ditty..... As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song, And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along. There is no doubt about the words are clear, The voice is strong, is oh so strong. I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day. A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away, There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you. All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love, All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love. Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah. I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am, I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man, One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can. Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride, People go and people come, see my rider right by my side, It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run. G'Night Miami.....

It may come to pass that things get a bit clunky with this many posts in a thread, and at some point we might want to launch SSDD 2.0. Or 1.1. Or whatever release number seems appropriate. Lemme know.

You gotta jiggle it a little....that's what Jack Klompus would say.... Search the net for animated avatars....save one and text it to yourself...if it animates, it can be uploaded here and it will animate...or as marye said far in the future, see next post...you can create one, unfortunately I am not that gifted....hence my 2D Grateful bear.... Sorry my response teleported into the past.....

I've taken a hard cold look at the factsLooked at the numbers Seriously weighed the time I would need to commit And I just can't make it work. There's just no way to listen to 80+ shows in that amount of time. I'm gonna have to drive from Maryland. Slowly. Thank you gracious donars.

Perhaps you can hoof it ala Forrest Gump...wear your Walkman If you leave this weekend you'll make it in time....it will also afford you the ability to listen to each show chronologically from 5/5/65 through 7/9/95....

means 2 more days closer to the shows! 5 weeks, 4 days, and 14 hours until Santa Clara! 6 weeks, 3 days, 12 hours until showtime in Chicago! If MadSwan starts humping to the shows a day early (meaning he needs to wear his humping pants today), can he listen to all those shows? Some would say, "Yes, but only if we convert all them there flacs to mp3 so they fit on an iphone." LOL, and they're probably right! This is like one of those math problems I always got wrong in school. If MadSwan has 80 shows and needs to walk from Timbuktu to Santa Clara, how many days until he runs out of Jerry if he walks at 5 mph? Four questions: 1) who is doing the math to see how many days of music that is, 2) how much 'space' is needed to fit all the shows on one portable listening apparatus?, 3) If the bus comes by, will you get on?, and 4) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Yous y'all had better start Patchin' those sails and Shinin' those rails!

Okay, he might need to take a hot air balloon part of the way from Timbuktu.......That makes things a bit more complicated. I hope he has a good tail wind.

The Grateful Dead performed 2314 shows from 5/5/65 til 7/9/15 with an average duration of 2 hours and 51 minutes excluding noodling tuning set breaks take a step backs and getting everything just exactly perfect.... That figures out to 395,694 minutes or 6594.9 hours of continuous music... Get a humping Swannie! Morning Totes

So 80 shows are only 3.46% of the total number of shows. So 3.46% of 6,594.9 hours of music comes out to 228.2 hours of music or 9 1/2 days of goin down the road feeling bad. Considering Swannie needs to sleep 8 hours a day and lay in a field staring at the sky Sunshine Daydreaming 4 hours a day, the music will never stop for 19 days! Okay, it's gonna take longer the that to travel from Timbuktu by hot air balloon. WE NEED MORE SHOWS!

Hey. I've been intermittently MIA on here and the email threads. I am endeavoring to get all caught up, and update our intrepid leader on all things SD: tickets, itinerary, and all of the things. And respond where requested and where there is otherwise light or dark that I can contribute to or help with... I am also getting more serious about shining rails and patching sails, so sometimes it takes me a minute!! Love to all.
