By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
@oh yeah...
The ability to mmmmmbop bop, bop bop....
You know our love will not fade away!
I miss Jerry....
mmmmmm bop-bopping
Excellent suggestion.
rrrrrgrrrrr can be our coordinator to lead the GD50 2nd set mmm bop-bopping with hand signals. Add "practicing mmm-bop-bop sign language" to your to-do list.
Alternatively, just using "coming in for landing" and "prepare for take-off" hand signals can be used and will be universally understood by everyone.
But totes?????
How does one get a tin-foil hat past the TSA at the airports?

Basic principle of my profession.....

How to ride, how to drive, how to survive....

Looking for kind ride to Levi.
Heynow all! I live on an organic farm in beautiful Taos NM, and my old tour family has some tickets ready for me,all I have to do is show up!! So I haven't been to a show since 7/9/95, and did tour straight to the last show,got the beautiful expierence of almost 400 shows, and I feel this is calling me home. Please, If anybody happens to be in the west Santa Fe area,I have gas $$,and many kind things to contribute. My regual email is geothermtech71@gmail.com ,but will check back here too. May the forwinds blow me safely home! -Moon.
Couldn't resist the spainish lady....
so I'm on the bus. Flights booked, car reserved, room in San Jose locked in. Yahoo! so excited I already can't stop smiling smiling smiling. It'll be at my first and last dead show in two days and I will be able to say "I never seen them " as my tickets both days are behind the stage. (but you never know where a head will end up so I've been told.) Been doing some surfing and found that Edgar Winter is doing a show at the beach boardwalk series in Santa Cruz on Fri. June 26 if anyone is interested. Check it out here; beachboardwalk.com Me and my hot catniss will be there. Wont have no left-handed monkey wrench but, other left handed stuuuuuuuf. LETS PARTY!!!!!
Never been to Cali. and trying to plan activities, any locals willing to answer some questions to help? Please p.m. me .
3wk 4day 22.5 hr !
go pro
I sure they wont let me have one but I wanted to make sure. Can we take a go pro into the concerts ? It says no video . no camera with longer than 6 inches , again your safe totem ,. they also say no item will be saved which is taken from us. I really wanted to film the crowd , and the party but of course also do not want to have to rush to hotel to get rid of items . What are your ideas?
Yes, indeed....
Coffee is fresh and hot....
Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home.
Before we know it...Tuesday's gone...with the wind...
As much as I want Santa Clara and Chicage to come...
I fear that time is slipping away....
@roadking
If the security checkpoints are anything like the NFL (at least in Buffalo), it will be very difficult getting any cameras in that exceed specs...a good quality lens on a cell phone is another story.
Have a good day, grab some coffee for the road....king

3 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours until we meet Santa's Sister, Clara.

Happy Tuesday Sunshine Daydreamers!
@the Bolts
Some hometown NHL action. So will the Bolts steal the face off Chicago? Jumped in for the presale Cup tickets over the weekend and had sticker shock. I'd need to see the Stones open the game for the price of those tickets.
@ RK and Totes...
Steve - Rich nailed it...I wouldn't risk them snatching your GoPro. Bet the bank you'll walk through a metal detector and if it were me, I'd just use the video capabilities of your iPhone - it shoots in amazing HD.
Kyle - your 2nd cup chance in 10 years. There are cities that wait a lifetime. No better live sport, bro, so if you get a chance, I'd get your but in the building - amazing fun !!!
I don't have a dog in this fight but I have to admit...the Blackhawk's home sweater is the best in the business :-)
@Vanilla Ice
Gonna be a great series Kyle and yessir Lord Stanley's tickets are steep indeed...back when the Sabres were good, talking 1980's...second round average seats were $300...can't imagine what they're now...
@Lightning Storms
Steal this face?
The headline looks like speed vs. experience.
Feeling confident? Bet you an over-priced beer at Soldier Field the Hawks prevail.
Either way it's going to be great entertainment. Fever is running high here. Chicagoans love their Hawks. Sweaters, Ts, Caps everywhere. It's a great time of the year.
Ticket prices for the finals at the United Center make FTW look like a bargain.
CHICAGO TICKET RELEASE

@roadking
One possibility may be to hook up with a taper. The security guys rarely can tell a go pro from a tape deck, preamp, ADC etc. I will most likely be bringing some of my gear but I will give it to someone with a taper ticket if I can't swing a taper ticket myself.
Missing Jerry today, but looking forward to Trey.....
@Oh mama....and Ooooh mama!,,,,,
Thanks for extending that Chitown hospitality.....
I'll bring the bourbon, the cups and the limes....
But last time I did that....
Now the rainman gave me two cures
Then he said, “Jump right in”
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin
An’ like a fool I mixed them
An’ it strangled up my mind
An’ now people just get uglier
An’ I have no sense of time
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
think I'd learn?
This just in!
see dead.net for info on new Dead archival release 30 Trips Around the Sun.....
limited edition....80 CDs or USB....
Damn fine idea....I must say....
Oh mama, indeed....
@1 2 3 4....can I have a little more?
No public access...only your hyperlink....
Fallout from the Phil zone...
tin foil hats a necessity now
5 6 7 8 9......10.....
Klanger...don't go there....
but nice Van the Man segue....
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio
Turn it up, turn it up, so you know, radio
La, la, la, la...
Sitting in Limbo.....
Can you hear me major Tom?
Take your protein pills and out your helmet on....Commencing countdown and may Gobs love be with you.
@they call them the Diamond Dogs....
Well she's a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonightPraying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money she's a funky-thigh collector
Layin' on 'lectric dreams
Come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Laverne...
we are Floating in a most peculiar way.....
.......full Stella Moon tonight....
well c'mon well c'mon.... Sgt. Pupper got some howling going.......
Owooooooooh werewolves of (insert your city here).......
@Wednesday
Coffee is on...
Allegation of some tickets arriving courtesy of the merry mailman....
Time is ticking away...spirits are running high....
So stretch, wipe the sleep from your eyes, grab some Joe and
....Get on them humping clothes....cuz it's downhill from here....
and now a musical moment....
Ode to Stella
I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,
I love to sing-a,
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a to an "I love you-a,"
I love to, I love to sing!
Give me a song-a
About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a.
But keep it clean-a,
With a cottage small-a by a waterfall-a,
Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a,
I love, I love to sing!
I was born a singin' fool-a,
Lah-de-dah!
Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me,
Got through Yale with boula-boula,
Lah-de-dah!
Old microphone's got me!
I love to sing-a,
I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a,
And wave a flag-a,
With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy,
I love to sing!
The swingin'est,
Hot singin'est,
Bell-ringin'est,
Song singin'est
High tootin'est,
Sky tootin'est,
I love to sing!
In Franklin's Tower the four winds sleep
In 3 weeks, 3 days, 14 hours the winds blow to Santa Clara.In 4 weeks, 3 days, 12 hours the winds blow in Chicago.
Patch those sails and shine those rails!
@A Mighty Wind...
Oh a mighty winds a blowin’, it’s kickin’ up the sand,
It’s blowin’ out a message to every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowin’, cross the land and cross the sea,
It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.
Yes it’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ you and me…
Please no kale at the pic a nic!
@wind in my sails
If I eat kale at pic a nic, You won't need a weatherman to know which way the blows. Ditto no kale.
Going to trip around the sun!
Can't believe but my hubby bought me the mega set! How many early birthday presents can I get before he starts counting? What a guy!

@Donna's box
Little boxes on the hillside,Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
Totes....I'm not worthy.....
But you look good in heels....
And your last yelp was the bees knees
It got Arnold Ziffel a runnin' over the hills....
