    Rest areas!
    State websites usualy list where their rest area's are. Find one close and crash there, thats what im doing. Look up truck stops too, they have shower rooms you can use also for like $6-$8 if your the type that needs a shower. You can look up car pool lots also, there's many places to crash. Just dont get so tanked you cant make it, nothing spoils a tour like having to deal with the law.

    no camping bro
    not in philly these days.The lot scene at the spectrum is usaly WIDE open but after the show they will make you leave.But if you drive down 95 to exit 9 A highway 420 there are a few hotels right there sure you can find floor space. I for some reason you can not find space in a room there is a deneys right there sure you could sleep there(in you van)

    looking back
    February 1st, 1960 marks the 49th anniversary of the fateful day four brave black students sat down at a segregated lunch counter in a woolworth's store in Greensboro and made history. The counter's chairs and stools were for whites only, while blacks had to stand to eat. The four were refused service, but were allowed to stay. The next day, 28 students joined the sit-in, and the next there were 300 more. About 5 months later, 3 major stores changed there policies to allow intergrated counters. 4 yrs later the civil rights act was signed by LBJ.How cool is that? I remember the day when hippies, long hairs and dead heads were treated the same way. Like once in a restaurant in Ohio in l969 when we were refused service due to our appearance. Thank the stars for people like these students and dead heads everywhere for standing up for what you believe in. "We will survive"

    Apologies if am slow to comprehend this tix catastrophy
    But isn't scalpers BEFORE public ass-backwards? Setting the public up for higher priced tix, from the get-go? Like "if you wanna see this show, bow down and beg, and pay out the nose"?Simple business calculations would seem to indicate that every party involved in selling these tickets earns their percentage on them, making the end price higer, after every extra agency they go through. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    I've heard that the tickets were on sale on TicketNow and Other Scalper sites, even before they went on sale to the public....being that I just got home, haven't been able to sort through all of the info, but from what I see this is true!____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

    Am I reading correctly or incorrectly that it sounds like Ticketmaster sold, "allotted" or whatever, huge blocks of tickets to their sister company TicketNow? Ie: direct to scalper agency instead of to the public?********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    Reading through this, this does not surprise me. Just got an email from Sugarmegs.org (i've been working alot throughout all of this) and they said ALL the Mail orders have been fulfilled, except for a few (1 out of 3 ain't bad for Shoreline) and this is all just wrong. I used to mail order everytime for shows, only got shut out once. Needless to say, I suspected that Ticket Bastard and others did this for along time before this. NOW I KNOW. "It's a sign of the times", people say. "It's all about the Benjamins", others do. But really? I don't blame the band at all. They are just musicians that are the best in the world....think of how many bands they've influenced, why so much GREED? So wrong. Thank God I got my tickets to Chicago. I'm skeptical about getting any for Shoreline. Most of my headicated friends from home (Bay Area) had to work at the time of the presale too, except for the mail orders, and "tried" to buy tickets through Ticket Bastard to no evail. I'm so excited to see these shows, I've been dancin and singing all over town. Yet, this really pisses me off. Thank you to all on this forum for letting me know that at the very least, WE all still have our original values. There are some really good people in this community, so let's just stay true to each other, and say FUCK the money monger bastards! I can't wait to see the boys in full swing, making me feel like I'm home again. Blowing my mind, and melting my innards. Thank you Billy, Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Warren, and Jeff for letting me know you are NOT apart of this rape! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

First, let me say that no one can ever replace Jerry. Not even close, IMHO. That being said Warren is a monster. Last night was the first time I saw him play, and I think he will be great with the Dead. The Allman's even closed the second set with a kickin' jam of The Other One. Made me feel right at home. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

Nice! Hey now how do you import youtube vids like that? I tried to put one in a post in dead.net and all it did was paste the web link to youtube... Just wondering how you get the whole video like that? "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

I think it's way cool to have green, sustainable camping at a four day event, but after looking at the VIP packages I'd have to say that the energy footprint for this festival is going to be a monster. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to lay our the $3400 for a safari tent with all the furnishings and electricity, air-conditioned bathrooms and showers and trucked in ice as well as the $118 vig for "shipping & handling" charges. I just wouldn't want anyone to think it was green, sustainable camping. Conspicuous consumption is just so retro these days, what with Feed The Children leading convoys of food into cities and all.... Wouldn't you just love to hire two white-jacketed eunuch nubians with black linen towels over their arms and say "Blend us up two more top-shelf ritas and bring us the mirror after you finish slicing & dicing. Chop-chop boys!"

This from Wikipedia: On April 4, 1996, Bob Weir and Deborah Koons spread half of Garcia's cremated ashes in the Ganges River in India, a site sacred to the Hindus. Then, according to Garcia's last wishes, the other half of his ashes were poured into the San Francisco Bay. Deborah Koons disallowed one of Garcia's ex-wives, Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia, from attending the spreading of the ashes. Phil writes in Searching for the Sound that they made it under the Golden Gate to a point where the captain said the ashes would be carried out to sea. As they poured the ashes over the side of the vessel some of the ashes were blown back against the hull. Bobby leaned over with a cloth napkin and "scrubbed poor Jerry off the hull". Sometime later Phils wife Jill was weeding a garlic patch when she reached into her pocket and found the napkin Bobby had used. She offered a quick prayer and buried the napkin there in the field. May he rest in peace. We miss ya Jerry.

I was blown away the other night at the Allman Bros, Beacon Theater, NYC. I have a buddy on the inside who is always a reliable source but when he told me earlier in the week that Eric Clapton was going to show up I didn't believe. Sure enough, Clapton came out and jammed the whole second set. My bud also told me that Bobby and Phil are jamming with the Allmans closing night Mar 28. For all the lucky ones, just a little taste what what we're going to get on the tour. Always believe. If you get confused Listen to the music play "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

Just received tickets from gdtstoo for the Charlottesville show and they are floor seats - wahoooo. Although I have not received tickets from the online pre-sale for the same show; called to check on them and MusicToday said they should be sent out seven to ten days before the show. Wow- talk about cutting it close. I have learned my lesson and will stick with gdtstoo and skip the "new" way to purchase tickets.

For presale tix? Man, what's the hurry? Make them will-call and I'll at least have some degree of confidence that we'll see them. Let's see, 7-10 days before the show I'm 900 miles away from my mailbox, and will stay that way until 3 days before Greensboro. I'm going to leave home before having tix in hand? First-in, last out. That's the way to run a business!

I'm sure we all will get our tickets in time, it's just a bit shady in my opinion and it doesn't make much sense. Unless they have to print every ticket by hand, using rare paper from deep in the rain forest, and special ink imported from the orient and then use carrier pigeons to deliver them all ... yeah yeah that's it! No wonder why its taking so long... :-) "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"
