    Hey, I hope things are warming up for y'ous all (or is that all y'all, this southern thing gets confusing). I used to hail from your parts and went to college up there. It is slightly warmer where I'm at now.

    On Your Culinary Itinerary?
    If Napoleon was right when he said that armies (including peaceful ones like Sunshine Daydreamers) travel on their stomachs, and if you can trust an out-of-towner, especially one from Texiz, here's an option that's 2.5 miles/5 minutes from Soldier Field that according to today's issue of USA Today offers the "Best Sandwich in the World": http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/03/ricobenes-chicago-best-sandwich-in-the-… http://www.ricobenespizza.com/#!location-and-contact-info/c66t

    That Something Else
    Tom Hanlon - and everyone who's made it here so far and everyone to come... Perhaps Tom Wolfe put it slightly right (as right as words can be). I can't find the quote I'm thinking of right now, but here's one somewhat in the same (grant) ballpark. “The Pranksters never talked about synchronicity by name, but they were more and more attuned to the principle. Obviously, according to this principle, man does not have free will. There is no use in his indulging in a lifelong competition to change the structure of the little environment he seems to be trapped in. But one could see the larger pattern and move with it - Go with the flow! - and accept it and rise above one's immediate environment and even alter it by accepting the larger pattern and growing with it.” ― Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Alright I don't live on the East Coast like tfonts - I have no excuse (except I like the witching hours and I work a lot of nights) Nightzzz all :)

And alas, your humble correspondent will be sending out Vol. V update this morning with important info needed so head's-up for that. Make it a great day and a great week, all !! ps - I'll try to shoot you a pic of my new tatt today (the SYF 50th logo). My artist is making a house call today @ 10am.

    The deal so far...and something else
    Okay, Here's the Deal So Far on our Birthday Weekend, subject to change in a few hours, so pay attention...you in the back, tone down the drums for a bit...thanks... Hi campers and camperettes, cats, and catettes, We are the Sunshine Daydreamers. Thanks to rgergelis, his Karma and his just all-around coolness and welcome smile, and Marye for her spot-on attentiveness to all-that-is-right, we now have this portal in cyberspace. Pretty cool, huh, pull up a chair, or stool, or carpet, join us and hop on this magic bus as we head for Chicago. For the un-initiated,and as a bit of history, Tfonts gathered a bunch of names over the past days, from folks going to or planning on being in Chicago, got them in on an email, sent out an email blast and all sorts of stuff happened...it kind-of exploded into 15-20 conversations on whowhatwhenwhere and how to have a picnic. Apparently, we can't just show up with a checkered tablecloth and some fried chicken and call it good. Thank God, for that would be way too plebeian and droll. So committees were formed, officers were elected,t-shirts and coffee mugs were designed, tasks were delegated, and we now have have meetings, we follow Roberts Rules of Order, and even have donuts. NOT!!!...but we did agree on a name, Sunshine Daydreamers. And some other stuff, like a T-shirt which is in the works. It's not too late to get in on a t-shirt, so do your homework and notify the responsible person for that. Things are fluid, we are all partying and listening to righteous tunes, you are included if you are going and are kind, and we may meet and hang out in one OR ALL OF three places, as follows: 1) A pub/hotel bar south of Soldiers Field 2) A pub/hotel bar north of Soldiers Field 3) Somewhere close to the fountain in downtown Grant Park for a Grand Hug-and-Meet-and Greet, maybe at high noon on Saturday and maybe someone can bring a camera and take a picture or sumpin'. 4) An ongoing meet and hang out spot (near #3) that will be a central gathering all weekend long, starting around noon on Friday and running till whenever on Sunday. It could be a great place for a rendezvous; to touch bases, get a plan, and party on before (during) or after the show, as you stroll thru to other hot spots that may grab your attention. Anyhow, that's it in a large nutshell. If you have an idea, or a plan, or a suggestion, or a comment, or a cold beer, OR A TICKET by all means, share. Stay tuned for further announcements...here and elsewhere, from those that are in the know, or from those who are telling us what we need to know, or from you, who has a brilliant idea and JUST KNOW it will be the perfect addition to our Grand Picnic and Show...please share, your comments are welcome. Still waiting for someone to make us our all access laminates, btw...and still waiting for a mascot... Remember friends at the end, as always, it's about the journey: the life, the love, the planning, the music, the vibes, the family, the experiences and the memories...so live large, plan grand, love without end and go for it! One last thing, as Tom right below said, we are and have "That Something Else"...dream it, say it, prove it...and Let There be Songs..To Fill the Air. cheers, geo

We braved high water (literally) yesterday and the sacred thumb has landed! It has already been debriefed, re-packed and all it now needs is Steve/Roadking's mailing address to resume its return to the east coast when USPS reopens on Tuesday. BTW: Has anybody heard where DEADSPACE1 and DEADSPACE2 are hanging out these days? If anybody needs it, my mailing address is: Jeff Smith; PO Box 1126; Fort Davis, TX 79734
