    These last few days... first SCOTUS comes through <3 Then CHI tickets arrive finally then an amazing sunset at work. And of course yesterday with Rainbow Clouds on the way to Santa Clara, and then actual DEW from the sky - and tonight... He's Gone always gets me... and that cute little bow at the end. :') And both the girls on either side of me got to hear the ONE song they each were hoping to hear.... SIGH/Chills/Happiness/Gratitude/I can't believe how magic it always is... Oh boy I feel it all. I am emotionally stable. Emphasis on the "emotionally." Me, Uncle? For a while now... Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful... I like that Mickey. SINCERE <3 Sorry I missed you Tami. Got my hug from Greg2 and dear Gob showed sis 'n me the way to Shakedown :) Winding down in Marriottland. I ain't ready yet, to go to bed Think I'll take a walk downtown instead xoxo

    On the bus
    On the shuttle back to my room. Missed the organized chaos yesterday and instead walked one hour in the urban landscape in the wrong direction. Chased down a cab. Today we bee lined to our way post encore tears to the bus but it is not "ba dus" . Sleepy deadheads around me. Scent of red rose and Mandarin citrus courtesy of my cid package. Craving grilled cheese and ipa. But stuffed myself nuf full of memories, and released enough cathartic emotions to make this leg of the tour the finale non parallel. But chugging forward to chitown... Hope to meet you all and celebrate our homecoming together! Coxoxo

Stella where will you find the time? Are we planning games for after the photo? I'd really like to!!! Or are people planning on only buzzing by for a spell? We should do a spelling bee! Pin the tail on the hippy, musical chairs, pass the dutchie... (Ha ha my spell check on dutchie came up as Ritchie)... We could play that too. K. Doc? You'll get passed around on the left hand side.

That was, if you missed it. She was kind this month. So... Mahalo nui loa Uncle RRRGRRR. Your singing voice is fantastic! Thank you :) Tami it sounds like you are inspired and fired about the games? I'll ask around, but in the meantime maybe run with what you have? I'm thinking only one or two. We might not get to them. We might be too busy snacking and running around talking to each other FACE TO FACE. I'm going to be silly with it. Oooh. What about SD trivia. "Which SDer when to ___ ___ State and graduated ___ ___ laude?" etc. Oof. That would take some information gathering... time. *** So. I am looking for a lower tier GDTSTOO ticket. One for any or all nights. I love my no-view seats. It gets me in the building, and I'll always remember the moment Ticketmaster said "You're going to the Grateful Dead!" Because of that moment I TREASURE my sweet sweet no-view seats. I have abstained from selling EVEN ONE of my tickets for over face value, much less for several hundred dollars as someone close to me suggested I do in March (they don't know). That way I would have been able to afford plane tickets or acomodations (sp). Rent, etc. "I can't do that" I said. Still. I would part with and sell at face value one of my tickets that I am grateful for, if I could get a golden ticket for one night or two at one of the lower prices. That would be alright! Just. You know. Putting it out there. I did finally send good 'ol E an email. Throw my hat in the ring. It's a little late but you never know. You just never can tell... Alright. Back to selling stuff on ebay! Love Stella. ps. How the frack do you spell "accomodations"??

King of the Road.... Not here in NY....but told the merry mailman what to look for....he's a head as well, so he has a vested interest.... I agree with the batch idea....I keep looking at my 2/26 confirmation email...sick thing is wondering if it's an April Fools joke... but I know it's real....fingers and legs crossed here in da Buff.... guess I had too much coffee or beginnings of a prostate problem... getting old sucks...

Don't worry, be happy. I think the GDTS folks are working hard and getting out "batches" of emails and tickets. I'm thinking everyone will hear something over the next week or 2 rather than a single broadcast announcement (until all is said and done of course). Not that my word is any consolation and won't keep you from stalking your mailman everyday.

Games people play you take it or you leave it things that they say, aren't right If I promised you the moon and the stars would you believe me? Games people play in the middle of the night Although I am not big on party games, I have no where else to be than at the pic-a-nic until we head over to Soldier, so whatever we do to pass the time and have fun, I'm all for it. Should we wear all nametags? Seems kinda cheesy but how else are we gonna know who's who? A stand-up and speak session? Hi, my name is Mike....I am a deadhead and I miss Jerry...

But I believe certain executive members of our Pic-A-Nic committee may, and I stress, "may," already be working on such a name tag idea. I can't confirm nor can I deny; we'll just have to wait and see :-)

.....pulling the dus over at the next rest stop....time to stretch, relieve ourselves, have a cold one....water, milk...uh huh, sure it is.... ice coffee, cerveza....etc....this space is getting hot and not in a good way....whilst you romp and frolic in the fields of opportunity I will be seeking a fresh shot of refrigerant for our dus's AC....as lately it's been blowing mostly hot air...and when we began this grand crusade it was cool as a cucumber.... Rest stop up ahead....smoke 'em if you got 'em.... Oh I see we crossed the Alabama state line.... Oh mama, could this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again..... and Mr. Mayor....I know.... ( and a little advise....no more spell check...trust me, it's evidence based) Oh, Texas medicine and railroad gin....maybe I'll mix them?

Pass the milk. And I tried to post a link here yesterday from Amazon for delivery of those elusive special edition Reese's Oreos. Even suggested we could get drone delivery to Buckingham Fountain. But the link to Amazon apparently breaks the laws of the Dead.net boards...It just keeps getting tougher to keep it light... Ho Gawks!

received my tickets in Dallas-Ft Worth area today...woo hoo. i think donna and plant would be...interesting...midpoint between complete cacophony and sublime harmony. actually, i REALLY enjoy Plant's Band of Joy and prefer it to the Plant/Krauss collaboration, which is also really good. BoJ's pounding kettle drums, mandolin and buddy miller's guitar are sweet together.
