Speaking of that..... Hey #88, hope you are back safely...let me know...got some tunes all ready to go.... keep my Buffalo boy Patty Kane off the hootch and away from the strumpets.... At least until he brings home the trophy.... Ho Gawks....

    Sweet Saturday Morning
    And good morning to you all...Ani from the Buff? Got a bit of listening to do, I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc4eYOhNnU8 Thanks for being who you are, when you are, and how you are friends...let's polish up our voices and sing along with Mitch, I mean Rich...keep you eye on the bouncing red ball... No worries if you can't carry a tune, as they are light by nature, and can float effortlessly about you before soaring off like an eagle. Jerry always smiled when hearing your voice, you know, and is smiling now. Enjoy those danishes, they're calorie free today, and piping hot out of the solar oven... geogimmieabucket,i'llcarrythattunemeister

    But holy cow! I couldn't take my cat nap in the back without first expressing my gratitude for hearing the name Ani DiFranco from another head besides mine for once in the past... lot of years. She got a lot of air time in my dorm room and then in my walkman when I moved to Canada the first time - along with Jerry and the boys... Sigh.... Got to see her once in Hollywood and again in Massachusetts when she opened for Dylan. Although I think I missed her set - it was out in Great Woods or something such thingzzzz. Sun's rising in the East!

    Never too late for coffee
    In a coffee shop in a city Which is every coffee shop in every city On a day which is every day Cowboy Neal is back at the wheel and one of Buffalo's finest, Ani DiFranco, is on my mind. A splendid brewed secret shared by da briver, but I'm gonna opt for the boo-tea. I'm a filthy hippy at heart, but it's...OK. Cuz I'm good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like me. Let's have a good show, people. Ticket to Levi Saturday arrived in today's mail. Ready to explore the little plastic castle at dawn.

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!

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!!!

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

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.
