    Oof that's a bad day
    for Commander Cody. I'll bet at least 88% of us know what that's like. Every last thing... but these are better days. We have a place to be and Holly is gonna get us there. Uncle Rrrgrrr, did you figure out who bounced out the back? Maybe it was just that extra luggage we don't need no how - Bobloblaw's gonna teach us all how to travel light. Best for us, gas mileage, running from windows and this gorgeous planet. Be the light. But give me coffee first. <3

    Hey morning Stellz..... Philz on my doorstep....should have a pot of Silken Splendor on soon.... Hit it Pupper.... She keeps Moët et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake,' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a pussy cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild.. She's all out to get you She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try...

    Bob teaches us all we need to know about ourselves..."the simplest way to put it is, I have problems..." That whole movie is everything. I'm going to put my headphones on and watch it from the back here, is that okay? It's a bed coffee kind of morning anyway. One of my mothers went on a trek in Nepal and every morning the sherpas would bring her Bed Tea. BED TEA! Is that not the best? I tried to be good and was a tea-in-the-morning kind of gal for a lot of years. I will be again sometime, when the first outside-task of the day is working in the garden... until then, java in my cup! I like the feeling back here anyhow. Holly at the wheel. Sarge keeping an eye out for bumps. Everyone else singing, mumbling, or snoring away. Perfect way to step into the day. Bed Coffee.

    SSIA.... I'm goin out back a second.... Stella, move them feet....thanks... I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go Well, I saw your other man today, he was wearing my brand new shoes And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Well, I met my old friend Bob today from up in Bowling Green He had the prettiest little gal that I'd ever seen But I couldn't hide my tears at all 'cause she looked just like you And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Now everybody tells me there's other ways to get high They don't seem to understand, I'm too far gone to try Now these lonely memories, they're all I can't lose And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Well, my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home That's just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too Got the down to seeds and stems again blues

And I was more than willing to show her the way We cruised up Sunset and back down Vine I liked hers and she liked mine But when her daddy caught me, he said look here son You're going to jail for having too much fun Get out of my way, you small town hicks This country boy is out for kicks Stole a car, drove to Kalamazoo I met a gal, she was ugly too When they finally caught me, here's what they done Jail... too much fun Every story's got a moral and mine does too It ain't nobody's business whatever you do All of us got weird notions of time The Lord only knows that I sure got mine I'm public enemy number one All because I wanna have too much fun Oh my....Holly at the wheel.....take it sister....

Hey all, I hope you guys are all good and enjoying these first few days of Fall. For what it's worth - I have 2 tickets to Verizon Center in DC for November 6th (Sec 404 Row B) if anyone is interested. I think of all of you often - hope you are well and happy! Peace, Anita

Greetings to all this first weekend of fall; Do a merry dance: a waltz or a jig, join in, make it up, think big; Sing loud, be happy and free, for you'll see that is the key; Doesn't matter about the song, or whether it's short, medium or long; That which is in our spirit and heart, is what sets all of us apart; The dance, the song, the giving, is what keeps us all a living; It's Fall, and the Summer ends, crisp weather is around the bend; Love long, hug strong, be glad, that the Sunshine Daydreamers are rad; So look to the future with glee, share with your friends and see; That in the end we'll find, that Mickey is right, Be Kind; Love to you and you and you, don't worry, be sad or blue; That's the message, meaning and call, in geomeister's poem to ya'll. Blessings and peace... g

Quite the wordsmith.... A crisp clear day....gotta love fall and the changes the season brings..... After seeing the Aspens lend a golden blanket to the Rockies, returning home, we marveled in the beginning of the same transformation in the Northeast. Looking forward to warm cider with cinnamon sticks, Apple crisp and the kids dressed up for Halloween.... Watching the sun rise as I drive to work each day.... Sitting by the fire in the evenings.... Being thankful for each and every day, no matter what they bring.... Coffee is on.... ba dus is idling....

Hey now, thanks Geo for your poetic stylings. I love the changing of the seasons and the crisp fall air. Autumn equinox and Blood moon eclipse last week...brining celestial influences to the mix. And I love the Daydreamers!

They go 'round and round, and it was not twenty years ago today, but a mere 90 days ago when we parked the bus right over there in the shadow of Soldier Field and let it tick off the heat from its well worn engine... ...as we exited ba dus and merrily gathered from hither and yon to shake hands and hug family, all seemed perfect in the world....at least in our little corner of it. Daydreamers everywhere were meeting perhaps for the first time sharing smiles and miles traveled, lifting a cold one, singing a song and dancing a jig. Color us all Happy Happy Happy. That was and is the stuff folklore is made of, our special weekend just ninety days ago. Then the music! My oh my, did you enjoy that? A fiftieth anniversary celebration and family reunion. Comes a time when you look back and just smile, smile smile. Yes, that weekend was just that good. So happy Fall, Daydreamers near and far, let that wheel take you on adventures greater than your imagination and dreams, and thank you for making our internet house a home. Bus is idling, ready for another trip...stop by, hop on, set a spell, share a song and tell a tale.

I have 2 Hard Tickets for Seats in the ADA section of the General admission area. This gives you full access to General Admission area with the benefit of a seat. I bought them for myself as I have a back Injury, but like to be close to the action and where the sound is better. Regrettably I can no longer attend the show and have to sell the tickets. Including Shipping ( which would be priority with insurance) The pair would be $345.00. I can show proof of purchase in my name,..Pictures of tickets or whatever else would be desired. Preferred method of payment would be Paypal, I guess.I hope someone can use these. you can text me at (570)335-0626. Thanks for any and all consideration,...Bob

So much grate music this weekend! And 30 Trips! I'm still streaming 30 trips...stuck on 1981 this week. I did talk to Bertha's grandma at dead.net and she said the 30 Trips USB drives are supposed to ship in a week or two. But mysteriously they removed the estimated ship date from my order?? Upside out or inside down False alarm, the only game in town

Morning all. The wheels on the bus, well you know how the song goes..... After immersing myself in Mayer and Company for the past 10 days, I must say I am pleasantly surprised. There is a new energy in old Bobby. Chimenti shines as always and Otiel brings a non Phil bottom end to the mix. Drumming is spot on. Plenty of room to shake our bones, as the sardine box of Soldier Field is replaced by smaller crowds in manageable arenas..... Couple of updates, Stella Moon and Cain74 send their regards but seem to be off the bus for now.....for those of us with shows in our future, may they be joyous ones, next stop home in da Buff on 11/11..... May the spirit of Jerry be with us all.... Remember kids.....you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.... Oh yeah....coffee is on.....Philz of course....

After my weekly call to dead.net they told me a week or two. They've been saying a week or two for the past month so I'm pretty sure they have no idea. Hoping some of them have shipped somewhere... Did anyone get a shipping notice?

Hey now Daydreamers, and good morning to all those still on Ba Dus! I must say, in the words of David Ganz, "That boy can really play guitar!" Was fortunate to listen to the show on Saturday broadcast live on Sirius and it was smokin'. The crew had interviewed the whole band earlier in the day and Mr. Mayer was very articulate and humble about playin in the band... The music NEVER stopped! Had the tunes crankin, dancin' in the livingroom! Let's keep this bus a rockin' and a rollin' down the road

I was really looking forward to Verizon Center, but also had just a little splather of skepticism going on... NOT ANYMORE. It was really incredible you guys! SOOOOO GOOD! If you're still on the fence - jump off and shake your bones at one of these shows. So bummed I can't make it to more - hoping there will be 2016 dates announced and that they'll come to Florida!! Happy Trails to all traveling! You won't be disappointed! - Anita

Another season of touring came to a close for me last night as the boys rocked da buff. Solid first set with an Althea just for Geeky, US Blues for the Veterans and an El Paso, just so Bobby could screw up the words, just exactly perfect. What a mess he made of that....in a good way.... The second set took off with a scorching viola Lee blues, courtesy of Mr. Mayer....btw...up close he looks nothing like Klangstone. Lainie Bear got her elusive wang dang doodle then a new speedway into dark star to truckin to dark star.....drums back to dark star a china doll, then our national anthem, sugar mags... Casey jones took us home safely..... One observed OD with paramedic assistance, some lightweight went to ground on the first verse of promised land...waste of a good pit ticket... This Dead and Company tour exceeded all my expectations and the vibe was more early 80s in the arenas than the FTW spectacle....that's a good thing....if you go be ready to have your face melted....
