    Chit town and SC
    As an eastcoaster I am unable to attend the SC shows, and having been shut out of Chi town (so far) I am wondering if any SDers that are on the westcoast, would be up for a trade if I get SC tix? I am happy to get in the lotto just to be able to help someone out for face, however I would like to arrange an equitable trade, my question, is any one interested in such a trade? Thanks, and pass that coffee....

    Snydley Whiplash Tossed Under The Bus??
    I was so glad that the statement was released Friday. It seemed to quickly reaffirm faith in the band for some folks. I never really could blame the band. Their function is to facilitate the magic on the stage. But I'm not making the connection that Shapiro is more a part of this than he is a part of the marketing process. Maybe I just haven't noticed him side stage providing amazing air guitar licks that take the music to the next level. This statement and some others give the impression he really is playing in the band. "From the moment these shows were first talked about, we have considered ways to honor the roots of our Deadhead experience, even in the face of changing technologies. Remember, Ticketmaster didn’t even go on-line until we got out of the game." Every one despises Snydley (aka Ticketmaster). It's easy to blame it all on him, and he knows being the villain is his job. Like it or not he is here to stay. In the words of the masterful Willie J. Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of is is. But just remember this Pete, if you point a Willie at Snydley you'll have five Willies pointing right back at you.

    Stella, put in for what you need and leave the rest. The way I see things, if everyone scored one extra ticket for every seat needed, one- half of folks seeking tickets will get denied in the lotto. Better than in the hands of scalpers, but still...

Than on the road, every day! On the road again - with my family of my chosen friends Every time we see a fallen tree we just gather firewood for our next meal. Coffee every morning. Starlight every night. No. No where. I'd rather be than here now with you. I'm so happy the freon fiasco is done. Can I hang my head out the window? Maybe it'll blow away this headache.

It's time for those halcyon glowing lyrical tunes - make us grateful to be with each other but mellow enough for an afternoon catnap. Some of the 20-year old road trip staples (besides the dead and dylan) I happened to have on cassette when I drove down to Baja from BC were Joni Mitchell and Cat Stevens. Per exemple. A mix would be sweet.

Euphoria building. More Lightning storms over the coming days and week. Pucks and tickets flying everywhere. Biz dev meets recreation in Denver next week. Then BD, fathers day, SC, DSO, AT, FTW, AT, FTW, AT, FTW, AT. Before all this an upcoming DSO show was enough to get me excited. It’s musical and magical. Ho Gawks. Never done the first post of the day before. Not trying to steal thunder. Steal lightning…different story.

Coffee, tea, me? No working man, today...well maybe a little. The eggs have some smooth cream and some spicy chipotle Cholula. Lovely day for a roadking ride, but today legs are turning pedals instead. Getting ready for the Death Ride in July. The month of the Dead in more ways than one. Get yer great buzz on today, peeps, and enjoy every drop!

Won't our love, like all things, "..slowly too fade away.."? Everything physical will change, given enough time. But what of the non-physical? That's a different matter (if you will). The force of the will, through recognition, commitment, and renewal creates a shared mindset which can endure, unchanged by time. For the Love to Not Fade Away, the necessary and sufficient condition is our believing that it will be so. A better description might be not faith away.

Very Gracefully said Tom....and a good Sunday morning to you... Coffee is on ...bagels are fresh, have plain and veggie cream cheese, butter and lox.... The wheels on the bus go round and round....and we are one day closer to Santa Clara and Chicago....and death... Our virtual kinship remains intact, for now.....like family we laugh together, reminisce together, get on each other's nerves, and then make peace...I fear the things that keep us on the bus will be but a memory in but a month....for its the sojourn not the sojourner....with that said, let's savor every minute...carpe diem kids.. And now on K DED, going out by special request for our Mayor....Jim Croce.... Photographs and memories Christmas cards you sent to me All that I have are these To remember you Memories that come at night Take me to another time Back to a happier day When I called you mine But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then Summer skies and lullabies Nights we couldn't say good-bye And of all of the things that we knew Not a dream survived Photographs and memories All the love you gave to me Somehow it just can't be true That's all I've left of you But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP MMMMMMBOP BOP, BOP BOP

Good afternoon and late morning Sunshine Daydreamers! All the sounds of the earth are like music, The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree, And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me. My oh my 2 weeks, 6 days, 8 hours the sun shines in our backdoor in Santa Clara. 3 weeks, days, and 6 hours we wrap our arms Soldier Field like a ring around the sun! Patch your sails and shine the rails!

Looks like we have a series on our hands....Just put the broom away.... Isn't it ironic....it's like rain, eh? we are full circle back to the dreaded path....seems like March again.... You know what....we are the loonies...and....we gotta stay on the path.... The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. C'mon Toto....let's check out the Darkside.....got myself a different tune to play...... and I know how the song goes....

Too good to stop at 4. Seven takes us closer to SC; the days between. The path is the daily struggle. The grass feels better under foot. But is it really greener on the other side?
