    It is the Acid Test Vine...Did anyone expect it to go like clockwork? Burning as I type but it has been a beautiful Colorado spring weekend, running behind on a few tasks. So if I miss my Monday goal please forgive me, these will be in the mail by Tuesday. Remember to love each other and the love you give will be returned ten fold.

    Thanks Rick / Vine Order Corrections
    Rick, I forgot that Socrateazer was going to be out of action for awhile. My prayers go out to him. Assuming the last set stopped at his door, the remaining order should go as follows. 11. reedchris 12. Grateful Gooner 13. zbinks 14.toddsnc 15.wobbs7 16. rfk4 17. 143or245 18. CalebIsHungry 19. Melinda 20. Tony 21. muffin 22. joneb 23. Schnebs There was no number 12 previously, so I bumped everyone everyone from 13 through 21 up by one. Also, it looks like the order from 20-22 got screwed up screwed up a bit after joneb joined the vine. I have corrected this order as Tony joined before muffin and muffin joined before joneb.

    Our brother Socrateazer wrote - "Acid Test Vine On February 7th, 2008 Socrateazer said: I know it will be a while, and I have the time to wait, but I am getting laid off from my job for medical reasons and I do not know if I will be able to handle being responsible for the vine, so I need to bow out of this one. I will sign-up again if I am able to pass it along. Thanks!" We can only send him good and strong positive vibes, in what ever format your feel is right for you, (Prayers, chants, strong thoughts, incantations, or happy faces). I remember some one once telling me that we are all bozos on this bus and we gotta look out for each other. So lets all look out for Bruce. Good vibes you way. Now since it has been nearly a month and no movement. I will burn a new set shn/flac and wav. Package then and send them off to the person who thinks they are next in line. So whom ever you are, PM me with your address please. Peace every one and share the love. Rick Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again

Not trying to dampen your enthusiasm beatle_head42, but I'm in Middle America and Longrifle is in Western Canada, so this leg of the journey might be a little longer than others. It takes 5-7 days for vines to get from here to the East Coast of the U.S., so I bet it's more like 7-10 days to get to Western Canada. Longrifle may have not even received it yet. Hang in there . . . ~~~~~~~ "They say Cain caught Abel rolling loaded dice"

Hey all, sorry I've been gone so long. College started up, and I was overwhelmed. I don't seem to have Flying_Monkey's address in my inbox. But as soon as that's remedied, it'll be out and circulating once more! You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

Recently, a whole collection of previous unseen and extremely rare Acid Test posters and handbills has been discovered, including a couple pieces of original artwork by Jerry Garcia. Included in this collection was an original hand-colored handbill for the Palo Alto Big Beat Acid Test, as well as a Poster for Mother McCree's at the Tangent in 1964, a Poster for the Warlocks first paid gig at Magoo's on May 5, 1965, a poster for the Warlocks fourth performance at Frenchy's on June 18, 1965, Phil Lesh's first gig. A set of tickets for the In Room in Belmont on Sept. 1, 1965 and a poster for the first Acid Test at the Spread in Santa Cruz on Nov. 27, 1965 as well as a Fillmore Acid Test handbill and a handbill for Carthay studios in Los Angeles on March 19, 1966. It also appears that Jerry Garcia designed several of these items himself.The site that features all of this and more is here: http://www.postertrip.com/public/department37.cfm There are 33 pages altogether, which can be accessed from the main page. The whole collection can be viewed here : http://www.postertrip.com/public/5591.cfm Further details like the Jerry Garcia original artwork can be viewed here: http://www.postertrip.com/5584.cfm

well it`s a DVD with shn/flac files on it . to play it on your computer you will need a program called Foobar2000 , that will play shn/flac files . If you want to made CD`s you will need a program called Traders Little Helper , that will convert the flac files to standard audio files that you will be able to burn to CD . Check out to New vines 09 thread you will find links to both programs or you can just Google them . If you need more help let me know and I`ll do my best to help you out . *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

I don't have a DVD burner right now so I copied the whole thing as a big folder to my external hard drive. I found that Winamp plays FLAC files straight up and with a little add-in called shntool it plays .shn's. Its burner will convert and burn CDs from flac but not shn.

Hi there Hal, Pman, et al- I previously signed up as newbie under the handle tester75, but was never able to get back into the site after the first time. When I tried to login, it told me that that user name was either blocked or didn't exist, but if I tried to sign up again using the same email it told me that there was already an account with that email. So I was lost in some sort of terrible winternet dimension with no access to dead.net. Tech support was overseas somewhere and absolutely useless. Anyway, here goes, trying this again- 53.

I've been a Dead fan for years. Unfortunately I don't have any trading material to add to the vine. All of my non-commercial recordings are 20+ yr old 3rd + generation boom box copies. I've been looking for this set for years. Ever since I read Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and saw the set of tapes listed in a book on the Dead. 53. Psychedelicman 54. Trombone 55. Packratt
