Grateful Dead

The winds doth not blow today. The sea is still, but the tide is rising. Back and fill Sunshine Daydreamers. This bus has begun to float and is tugging at the moorings. Check your manifests for this final journey. One final patch of the sails and check of the rails, for this vessel will sail when the winds blow next. 2 weeks, 2 days, and 14 hours until showtime in Santa Clara! 3 weeks, 1 day, and 12 hours until showtime in Chicago!

It's Thursday and coffee is on....time to saddle up the Palomino. and get down to the Cumberland mines Make somebody happy today Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye night Stella.... morning everyone else.... What did you say Sarge? Oh, you hope the Czech isn't in the male.. me too boy, me too...

So now that it's close and getting closer... i want to point out that there are apps available like "find your friends" and "friends nearby". I know we don't all always want to be found - sidebars with Alice and all - but could be helpful for meet ups and... well I don't know. Stupors? I don't know if SC m&g is on S or S. But bells on just the same. Ciao goodnight east coasters... you're up.

the bus is in for repairs.... Riders are stretching their legs.... PM the mayor...he's got your details.... Lately he's got the jimmy legs, can't sit still... Time to count our losses and regroup.... The sun will come out tomorrow.... Bet your bottom dollar, tomorrow... Night Annie.... Night Sandy.... arf...arf.....

The Mayor said something to me about some of the Sunshine Daydreamers going to the SC shows meeting up at a certain bar at a certain Hyatt near the stadium round one'ish?? Anybody? Buhler????Buhler????

I'm just excited to be near the shows and see all the colorful people converge on the windy city! My birthday is the 1st of July and this will be a great present! History will be in the making. Magical!

FYI: Looks like only an All Access Pass is available for All Dead weekend at the Field Museum (of Natural History), for $31 and you have to choose times for some of the planned exhibits. $18 for standard admission is either sold out or is just not an option for that weekend (if this matters to anyone). But the all access passes were still available as of last night. Probably going to this, if so I will get a ticket tonight. I don't think I can make it into the museum until AFTER the pic-a-nic photo and pizza lunch, and shooting for making it to the meet-up site by 11:30.

Gotta keep movin'...

Feel you, Bud... Hope to meet your traveling companion...in Chicago.... tickets are gonna be dropping like manna from heaven.... just need to follow your instincts.... and know which way the wind does blow.... Life is looking up in da Buff.... Not re. Tickets, but in the grand scheme of life... Appreciate the cards I've been dealt....and am playing them wisely.... Sarge still is without a bone, but at least he has a home.... Thanks for riding ba dus Totes.... gonna have us a high time...living the good life.... Dream of large women....

I'm feeling a little hip, but tragically so today. I was born to be a bachelor, but Althea the Viking is waiting for me in the Field. A Sunshine Daydreamer she is. Sharing is caring, but I won't be cutting any buddies down. Spin that compass card 'cause the bayou's rising on this raft is starting to float. Da Bears. Good thing they can climb, cause they don't want to swim. Funny how they all gaily gad about no matter where the barometer arrows point. Maybe we should let them on the bus afterall. Wipe them paws before boarding the dus and use you inside claws.
