    Hi Richard, Canadian Dead, Litlebri, Jodster and all, We (my wife and I) are going to one - April 21st in Buffalo.------weeee!!!!!!!!!! I wish they would come to Ontario some time. Do you know if any of them come over the boarder to play? I took a large cookie tin and an old jean shirt (with cool paint splatter from various artistic endevours in our basement with my two kids) and redrew the steal your face logo from One from the Vault. It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent a good deal of it outside in a chair listening to you know who and working on the shirt. A good (Grate) day. I will be wearing this at the show. I'll post a pic soon. Here is a gift to you all, and all others reading this message; In case you are not aware, you should check out nugs.net. Go to "free stash" (top right corner I think). There are 43 (?) dead shows there for your listening enjoyment. I also, just yesterday signed up for "The Deadpod" . Started by some Dead loving proffesor. Free in I-Tunes. This morning listening to a great acoustic set from 70'. Richard, Playin' ---- coooollll. Peace. Later, Playin' (Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat)

    There's a huge fest in BC's interior (location moves every year) called Shambhala. Not really into the big festivals, but everyone I know who's been says its a great time. There's over 100 artists, a few different stages, villages, healing and craft areas and the Rebel Soul Village - home to campaigns, workshops, cinema and debates. Variety of music too! Check out http://www.shambhalamusicfestival.com/ for more info. Cheers! ~littlebri

Je demeure à Montréal depuis 35 ans déjà. Je travaille à la Place des Arts (un complexe de 5 salles de spectacle) comme technicien de scène spécialisé en éclairage. Je suis entre autre chef-électrien en second à l'Opéra de MTL.J'espère qu'on pourra échanger des commentaires sur nos spectacles respectifs. A bientôt. Richard.

C'est drôle Richard, car mon frère est chanteur d'Opéra et il travaillait avec l'atelier de l'Opéra de Mtl il y a 3 ans. Il a chanté plusieurs fois à la Place des Arts, plus récemment dans "Pearl Fishers" - son nom est Phillip Addis, baritone. Sa femme, Emily Hamper, accompagne les chanteurs au piano. Maintenant il voyage à qqpart de nouveau chaque mois, ce qui est un défi avec un enfant d'un an. J'aime ta carrière en éclairage. Je suis musicienne aussi, mais de la musique rock/reggae/funk, etc...

Au plaisir de se rencontrer. Je te souhaite un miracle pour Uniondale. Nous en souhaitons un pour MSG. D'ici ce temps-là, essaie de dormir! ; )

Crystal Journey has arrived in the United States for a 14 city tour along with seeing the Grateful "The" Dead 7 times in NY, NJ, DC, NC and VA. It was a very smooth and peaceful border crossing, a BIG smile from the pretty woman in the booth asking where we were going? to see the Grateful Dead I yelled with excitement. Photos and news will be updated as I have internet access. All Crystal Journey dates are on the performances page.

Well,Buffalo April 21st, 2009 - I'll try to be brief. Wow! The show/my head space was perfect. I walked out of the hotel room only to be passed by a lovely lady with a basket full of brownies and cookies. Needless to say I had a great trip at the show. Incredible performace. So many highlights. Met many good people had many concerns washed away had many high moments thoughout the concert. Perhaps the best for me was sitting down overcome with joy and laughter through Eyes of the World while the entire arena took off and headed into space. Needless to say that does not happen at every concert I have ever been to. Anyway, the boys really lifted the spirit - they do that so well don't they. Anyway, already looking forward to next year's show (fingers crossed). Peace, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat P.S. Richard I took only 2 pics but do have some video, if I can find the time I'll try to post some. Hope you had a great show too! P.P.S. many of the performances from the buffalo show are on you tube.

Had a great time as well. I met lots of Canadian Heads but not you guys, mabey next time. We had 6th row center and danced the whole night. Super easy border crossing at Fort Erie. Empty Tim Horton cups on board are never questioned. Its like a passport and a good spot for goodies !!!! hahahahah Later ...Chris

Salut Richard... hi everyone, well I'm still trying to come down from the wonderful adventure high - NYC and a Nassau 2nd set bonus after coming off the road 11h - MSG was something to behold... I'm happy to have shared it with the incredibly loud grooving crowd. A real treat. Some advice: when staying in NYC, the Chelsea Hotel is a must for any intrepid traveler. Richard: Je regrette de te manquer- c'est difficile de faire tout ce qu'on veut dans un groupe de 5. J'ai oublié comment ça traîne! Cependant, j'imagine que vous avez eu un weekend formidable. Il faudra se rencontrer un de ces jours. Rends-tu à Rothbury? For all you Can-heads - I hope you can make it down to Rothbury in Michigan for the 4th of July - we're gonna camp and jam our brains out.. Love, K

C'était effectivement formidable. Nous avons rencontré Monsieur Miracle à l'heure dite à Nassau. Le spectacle était très bon, malgré la fatigue d'une longue journée commencée à 5 heures du matin. Après une bonne nuit de sommeil, nous avons passé la journée à se promener à Union square, Canal Street et Little Italy avant de "participer" à un excellent spectacle le soir venu. ENCORE!J'espère que tu continueras de donner de tes nouvelles. A la prochaine, Richard.

Well K and others going to Rothbury, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat, will not be joining in the festivities at Rothbury this year (and what a line-up), anyway it promises to be amazing, I would have loved to be there to hear and see Dylan play with the Dead (undoubtedly you will be treated to that). I would have loved to see the Yonder Mountain String Band, The Cheese String Incident, Gov't Mule and Willie Nelson and his band too, oh well we can't win em' all! I look forward (kind of) to reading the highlights at this forum....... :( Sincerely, Playin'

I don't know about you guys, but I'm still BUZZING from the shows I saw in April - they really kicked off a killer spring season for me - breaking from the routine and opening up many new possibilities. The magic is still with me and the friends I've met this spring are really solid. I'd like to thank you all in this forum for being present, kind and sparklingly-fun. I really hope to meet you someday soon. Lake Huron and Montreal aren't really that far away.... May the magic and power of this springtime bring renewed energy to all your adventures. Love, K
