@closing time again......

Woke up this morning feelin' fineThere's something special on my mind Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah Something tells me I'm into something good (Something tells me I'm into something) She's the kind of girl who's not too shy And I can tell I'm her kind of guy She danced close to me like I hoped she would (She danced with me like I hoped she would) Something tells me I'm into something good (Something tells me I'm into something) We only danced for a minute or two But then she stuck close to me the whole night through Can I be fallin' in love? (She's everything I've been dreamin' of) She's everything I've been dreamin' of I walked her home and she held my hand I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could (I asked to see her and she told me I could) Something tells me I'm into something good (Something tells me I'm into something) (Something tells me I'm into something, ahhh) I walked her home and she held my hand I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could (I asked to see her and she told me I could) Something tells me I'm into something good (Something tells me I'm into something) Something tells me I'm into something good (Something tells me I'm into something) To something good, oh yeah, something good (Something tells me I'm into something) To something good, something good, something good Night Trixie!!!!

@ Turn, turn, turn...

If you gave up major vices you're between a hard place and a wall And your car breaks down in traffic on the street Remember, I'm the one who loves you you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me baby, turn to me If your father is free basing and your mother turning tricks That's still no reason you should have a rip Remember, I'm the one who loves you you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me When your teeth are ground down to the bone and there's nothing between your legs And some friend died of something that you can't pronounce, ah Remember, I'm the one who loves you hey baby, you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me You can't pay your rent, your boss is an idiot and your apartment has no heat And your wife says, "Maybe it's time to have a child" Remember, I'm the one who loves you and you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me turn to me When it's all too much you turn the TV set on and light a cigarette And then a public service announcement comes creeping on And you see a lung corroding or a fatal heart attack Turn to me, turn to me baby, turn to me, I'm just a phone call away Turn to me, turn to me hey, turn to me, one .... a dollar Turn to me, baby turn to me (Turn to me, turn to me turn to me) (Turn to me, turn to me turn to me) Total Eclipse of the Heart was my first choice but was censored... ;)

@Krusty....

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.....

animated avatar

you can make animated gifs, and they seem to work as avatars, at least if you don't go too nuts.

@I was staying at the Marriott...

...with Jesus and John Wayne.... ....I was waiting on a chariot, they were waiting on a train.... the sky was full of carrion "I'll take the mazuma" said Jesus to Marion "That's the 3:10 to Yuma" Coffee is on..... Happy Tuesday.... ....my ride's here...

I'm canceling my flight to Santa Clara

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.

@ MadSwan...

GDTRFB :-)

@mean old walking blues

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....

A day off from the countdown,

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!

marye

If the Daydreamers crack this egg of a forum before it hatches, do we all get stuffed Dead50 bear or something as a carnival prize?

@ Totes...

TY brother !! I was wondering what happened to you and the countdown yesterday. I think there's a app on my iPhone to calculate Swan's required walking speed for his journey - brb with the answer :-) Greets from San Fran !!

@fonts

I just provided the question in my edit. lol!!!

for the Pete's sake

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.

@good tail

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

@good tail in Chicago

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!

@coffee time...

Everyone can use some good tail and more music..... Talk amongst yourselves....

@amazing

.....6594.9 hours of music.... Gonna go back to live archive.... And listen sequentially.... Kinda like the Bible on acid

@coffee with Mary

Put on some of that Legion of Mary in the coffee house. Let's roll the FLAC for crispy Tuesday morning joe. That's some great sounding betnikky stuff to start anyone's day. Cheers Marye, grab a cup!

@Phillip and Company

WE NEED MORE SHOWS!

@Ladies and Gentlemen....

Step right up, step right up... Guess your weight within 10# and birthday within 3 months for only $10..... Can't stop laughing.....maybe you can help animate Mr Mayor... (You are messing with my mind brother....and I like it) Love you Totes..... To all who missed the opportunity.....que sera sera..... What will Bee will Bee Back to business.... you didn't hear? the grand prize ifor breakin' eggs is a Mayor Klangstone Bobblehead..... The Good Samaritan he's dressing, he's getting ready for the show.... He's going down to the Carnival tonight on Desolation Row.....

6594.5 hours, mathematically speaking

hmmmm...that is 275 days...just about 9 months...or the typical human gestation...I guess you could say Grateful Dead have given birth to something.or in the case of many of us...is it "jest-ation"?

@theory of relativity....

I ain't clowning around here.... But I venture to guess that we are the fruits of all that hard labor....

Jumbo Cup

Coffee good. MadSwan I get it. Hopefully I get to go to all 5 shows - but I've been doing the math on how many tacos I'd have to sell and with the days getting shorter - it's a lot!!!

@tacorimeter

I wonder how many tacos can be laid end to end around Soldier Field.

@tacometer

depends, soft shell or hard shell?

Dang. Good question.

Soft - always soft for eating. But for math, let's say hard shell? I like hard shell for vintage family get togethers though.

Somewhat MIA

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.
