Ok so mayor Mike, where do we go....stay on the path you say, which one....there are so many roads.... Ahhhh the Golden road that Dorothy spoke of, the yellow brick road.... But to get there I have to go thru Detroit....aren't there Lions and Tigers there, yeah and then Chicago....bears? Oh my.... Hey Dorothy the meek remember if we get to see the wizard, aside from asking to go home to TO, I mean Kansas, you have to tell him that the Dead are only playing 3 shows, all in Chicago....and Trey will play Jerrys parts.....most disturbing though is that Donna won't be there..... Ooooohhhhhhhyahhhhhayyyahhhayyyyy...wait that caterwauling ....listen.... Playin like a wave up on the sand....ya here that....the Promised Land can't be far..... A little help here, I'm on this tightrope and there ain't no net....but if we stay on the path....I'm sure we will see Oz the Great and powerful, he's in the Emerald city of Bedrock..... Oh yeah brontosaurus burgers and pterodactyl stew for supper, hopefully the Great and Powerful Oz will bless the feast.....(hint, hint).... We're off to see the meister, the wonderful wizard of Oz.... Later kitties....

Well. I don't want to speed up the wheel, but I'm not gonna lie, between the daily grind and the anticipation, it would be cool if we were in Chicago already... quite a bind, and a little confusing if I try to grasp it. I think I'll just let it go and go DRINK SOME WATER Tami. Thank you sis, for the tip ;) Also the moon is starting to show her face again, so things will be smoothing out again, if any of you were wondering why the wheels have felt so wonky lately :)

"...sounds which began as mere noise, like tom-toms and thundering gongs, savage, fanatical, ritual, end by arriving at the purest music." Yes! This is from Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann. He goes on to describe an artistic work that had the “urge to reveal in the language of music the most hidden things, the beast in man as well as his most sublime stirrings”.

Happy weekend all Coffee's ready, just the way I do it, like an oil-worker's boot dipped in storm water runoff. Taking the better half on an overnight date to see Garrison Keillor do his Prairie Home Companion show at Wolf Trap. Shakedown scene to include Powder Milk Biscuits and ketchup! Promised her I would not mention the Dead for 48hrs, the woman needs a respite from my madness.

Good morning all... As our esteemed dus briving coffee cranking and radio dial twirling captain is off on an adventure, I'll take a quick hand at the wheel...turn up the bass you say? Why sure! Over that away you'll see the amber waves of grain, back to your left you might see if you are looking closely some purple mountain majesties, up above are those spacious skies and just in front are the fruited plains...pretty country isn't it? Let's honor those who gave their lives for our country, this weekend especially, but always keep their spirit alive in our hearts. We salute you, we appreciate you and we lift a glass in your honor! Now let's have some of that hash-slinging, lyric-dropping, free-wheeling banter, as we continue the journey already in progress... Cheerio!

Got an early stop on da dus bride to give the air in the tires time to breathe...plus, there is a celebrity sighting being reported by our trained puppy-on-the-street. Coffee is on the house, step right over this way, we are featuring Chez Ray and his selection of special brews. Morning Brews Roast is here in this carafe, and Drop Dead Dark right over there next to the hypnotic donuts. Chez Ray was of the Boys catering chefs and takes it to the next level. For all your Grateful Dead coffee needs you can visit CheZ Ray and his organic coffee at http://www.chefchezray.com/ He will be joining us today, and is available to sign coffee mugs, tear stained t-shirts, and Birkenstock sandals, all of which are for sale in booth right to your left. Enjoy this rare moment, allow you to be transported back 40 years to the days of yore, treat yourself to a vintage tape, enjoy the kind...remember our Vets and make someone smile... Daydreamers are the best, carry on...have a grateful day! geodadusbrivingcoffeepouringmeister

So glad we look out for each other on our cosmic climb to Chicago...great choice of coffee...the wavy gravy rainbow blend is interesting....thought for a minute I saw Faye Wray but then I happened upon my spectacles.... Giving thanks for our great land, those who chose to defend it and those who were forced to do so.... Funny how we as a nation often take these things for granted and tomorrow is not just another one of those Monday days off.... Think I'll take a seat over by that big guy in the monkey suit, hey buddy will ya pass me a banana? Goes good with the donuts and coffee....thanks for the time away General Geo.... Watch out for that tree! Hey Boo Boo, Magilla over here just said "I know"....(disaffectedly)

"What I like best about music is when time goes away." Bob, I think it's just that your watch is broken. Tick Tock 4 weeks, 4 days, and 13 hours until showtime in Santa Clara. 5 weeks, 3 days, and 11 hours until showtime in Chicago! Our clocks are synchronized to Universal Lunar Time.

Dear Chicago FTW, I have received my itinerary for FTW. All your arrows and circles and exclamation points suggest I will be somewhere and everywhere at all times. The FTW weekend promises to be completely epic. Thank you Billy for the invitation. I have received it and thank you Devils Friend for the book. As I romp around this room I see Tami, and fontsman, and rrrrrgrrrr, geo, and stella, and the Doktor, Dire, the mayor, and every Daydreamer there ever was; same as it ever was. Everyone has their Buzzzzz onnnnn. Water flowing underground. Ya just gotta buzz-around. I am high-steppin' into Sweet Home Chicago on Thursday. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. I'm on a mission from Gob. Thank you Chicago FTW for providing me sleep time in the schedule 3 of the 4 nights I am in town. I will believe it when I sleep it! I meet the Queen at noon for the Daydreamer fancy hat contest. New contest? I have the perfect prize. Buzzzzzzz onnnnnnnnn!

Ok first off Totes....don't bogart that Buzz my friend....pass it over to me...your enthusiasm is infectious....and yes I too long for the days of haze and the buzz off the crowd at the fountain... Boo Boo, do you have Tops supermarkets in Rachacha? Reese's oreos are a staple in da Buff Tops, never had the brownie, but the S'moreos just got released...S'mores Oreos...eat them up yum.... Finally, at the newBee....dont know if you looked in the mirror lately grrrrrllllll but it certainly looks like your buzzin' buddy misses Jerry or needs an antidepressant or somethin'....adderal perhaps?...at least compared to Totes' dancin'fool of a Bumble... and thanks for the musical suggestion....let me tune the dial just exactly perfect....no.....little more bass...now ahhhhhhh...thats it... just sing along with Mr. Mayor and follow the buzzin' bee.... Life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static, I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example, take a t-t-t-t-tip from me Take all of your money, give it all to charity.... Lovin' is What I Got.... Now, I ask you...isn't that just sublime ;-)

Corporate office is in Roc town, I will look there, I neglected to mention the smores, did you find the black and tan? went to pick up a quart and it was gone! grabbed a stockboy and he tells me it is discontinued, not by manufacturer, but by Danny the W. Had him clean out the back for 5 quarts, I would bring to pic-a-nic, but the ice cream doesn't travel well.
