    not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon.

    I haven't been here for a while, but if the mayor is still Klang, he passed on the Dear Jerry tix as he was already offered them. The kind soul passed the gent with the extra onto me, I accepted and then life got in the way... Peace

    Whazzat Revisited: the Pic-I-Nic, the Mayor and the Horse
    Not withstanding my earlier characterizations, and continuing the discussion, there are many ways one can view the thoughts and the happenstance responses that find their ways onto our fine Sunshine Daydream Home Thread. For instance, within the rambling stories that weave their collective ways through these fine forum threads, there is also a discussion, a sermon, a pleading, a dream, a dance, a song or three, and a reaching out. Whether it is from a Brother or a Sister or a Father or a Mother or a Daughter or a Son, it is real...or maybe not. But guaranteed, Somebody cares about Something, be it Real or Imagined, and they are letting all of us know. Turn up the Bass, Tune the Banjo, shut up during Space, I need a ticket, Who's on first, it's important, whatever it is. So we reads, and we posts, and we explore. We share. We anticipate, we plan, we rejoice and we get saddened....hopefully, the saddened moments are brief and fleeting, and if they are not, they are somewhat lessened by the comfort our family can give. We are fed, and we feed others. We are family. Sunshine DayDream: At Once a Thread, a Home, A Couch, A Bus, A Book, a Church, a Soapbox and Thank you very much rgrgrrgr, a dining room. A Pic-i-Nic? Certainly. over there, at the SE corner of the Buckingham Fountain, in that little grove of trees. Meet-ups start as soon as you can get there, and end after the last people say adios. Bring your own everything, and a bit more for your neighbor. A Mayor? We have several, they meet here. Not unlike the park bench over at the town square in Maintown, USA, populated with those Who Make The Important Decisions, they have this place. No one is in charge, each gets to be a blowhard as the baton is passed, and all issues are carefully pondered on before a proposal is offered or a decision is made. Each is a Mayor in His/Her own right. All of us get to drive, to give advice, to give directions or ask questions or provide answers or extend a helping hand or share an encouraging word. A Horse? Now that's another issue altogether. Hey you over there with your hand up...tell us about this horse deal. Film at Eleven...thanks for staying to the end....or is it.... PS I Miss Jerry too! geopondermeister

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....
