Playin....... hows tricks ??? Just noticed some talk about you living near Lake Huron. I live near Mildmay on Hwy # 9, we are about 45 min to Kincardine and I have been here for about 10 years. Love the beach at Kincardine, Cypress and the grotto in the summer. krs10.......Can Heads gathering sounds like a fun idea. I have a 2.5 acre property here with lots of room for camping if anyone wants to come for a visit this summer. Beaches and parks close by but not alot to do in the general vicinity ( surrounded by corn fields in summer ). What was the extra fee you forgot to include in your mail order ??? ( postage ???). I also sent in a neat envelope for Buffalo drawn by my daughter again ( she got me 6th row center for Buffalo last spring ) hoping for some more great seats. Hope you all are doing great..............peace................Chris :)

Well, I found out yesterday that there was an additional charge for the mail order tix that I didn't include. I looked everywhere for that info, but the GDTSTOO page must have not been loading because of overuse. Anyway, I was feeling a bit defeated about that when I realized that tix would go onsale today. I expected to be hitting "refresh" for an hour or two, but I got our 2 tickets on my first try!!!! Me and my man will now definitely be going on our version of a romantic Valentine's vacation, weather permitting. Oh, I am so relieved... and happy!

Toi et ta famille seront les bienvenue!Joyeuses Fêtes à tous, Richard.

Hi Playin, Richard, et al I was thinking about what you've been posting, Playin, re: not having a GD cover band to listen to out there in the wilds of Lake Huron, and jamming with friends, perhaps leading to a GD band. It takes me back to my first band, which was a GD cover band here in Peterborough, called Zen Again. I also put together a project named after the fictional GD in Kesey's Sailor Song: the Dreadful Great. I've been playing GD music for like, 13yrs now, and mostly at home and around campfires, but I'm always threatening to start up another project. Anyhoo, I was thinking that a little outdoor gathering might be just the way to meet you kind folk. Looking ahead to summertime, I thought I could host a party here in Peterborough - an almost somewhat halfway point btwn Montreal and Lk Huron... and then I thought about group camping. I always like coming to Lake Huron - what part of the Lake are you on, Playin? Pinery, Kincardine, or closer to the Bruce? I have cool farmer friends in Grey County, too. We teacher-types are more available come summertime... so maybe we could do a little camping and jamming to get properly introduced. I know it's tricky to get around with kids, so maybe it'd be fun to come closer to you. And a Montreal road trip would be fine, too. Just thought it might be nice to find a way to bring us together. Have a super great day, you friendly freaks! Love, K

Hi Gang, Well I'm smiling yet again. Thanks K for the link. Sure enjoyed reading through that again (especially the Dead's Rothbury Play-by-Play). The mentioning of when the band really took off. Reminded me of that feeling from this year's show in Buffalo (April 21st). It was during Eyes of the World......I was so overwhelmed with positive emotion/feelings and lift off effects I just sat sat down and let it wash over me.......WOW!!!!! I will never forget it! Peace, Love and all the Good Things, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat

waller 88 => dialing in from Peterborough. Where you at? Oh yes, Ze Bloggg: http://sseeeeiinnggddoouubbllee.blogspot.com/ Enjoy!

Hi guys, Well, I decided to take a chance... instead of doing the online presale thing, or trying to wrestle with the thousands of people who will be clogging up the phone lines trying to get tix to Cornell on Dec 12, I mailed in my order. I noticed that Cornell was the first online presale to sell out. It's a Sunday at an historic venue, and the tickets are half the price of the rest of the tour. i hope I made the right choice - decorated my envelope and everything. Wish me luck! I'll let ya know if they arrive in the mail in late Jan/ early Feb. I figure, it's worth a try. And if it works out, bonus! It's the best arrangement for me, since Monday is Family Day and I wouldn't have to miss work, like I would for Buffalo. I love you guys! Keep checking in.

...and salutations friendly folk. K, Did you get your tickets?!!? I have not checked out your blog since after Rothbury, please resend the address. Keep well all, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat

I'm looking to meet some people who would like to go see some Furhtur shows this winter 2010. Get back to me if you're from the Toronto area.

Sorry, no picture of it. The set is now somewhere else in the world. and yes I still check your blog. I discovered Grace Potter by the Rothbury vine. Hope to ear more from her soon.Ooops, j'ai écris en anglais! A bientôt, Richard.
