Grateful Dead

Morning all. Ears Buzzin, head mushin, after show wake up day. Sweet weariness! Had a blast yesterday. Got caught up in the horrible backup on Rt. 29 getting to the show and missed the Shakedown scene and Daydreamers meetup, really sorry guys - next time for sure. Made it to the venue Just as Phil was starting.. I brought my 3 sons (Phil, Spiro, and Costa) to the show - first live Dead related experience for all them - fulfilling a promise to them, and a dream to me. That for me was what the night really ended up being about. I wanted to wait until they were old enough to appreciate the music and not worry if we got separated in the crowd. This was a family bonding night I will treasure forever, especially since they're at or getting to an age when family activities seem fewer and paths are branching off for them. We danced and laughed, pranked and shared post-show pie (cherry crumb). . Jambase has a good rundown of the shows events: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/125076/All-Star-Cast-Honors-Jerry-Garci… (BTW - that's me and Costa's "J" in the first photo - sign was about 15' high) . SPECIAL SHOUTOUT: Who ever started the tin foil hat thread, we made and wore them to the show as a goof, but they are really great for finding each other in a large crowd, and at least ten people told us we were reference points for finding friends. Genius idea!

That smell in the air during Shakedown was just lil ol me doing some late night baking in da Buff!

Will you be ready for the Sunshine Daydreamers? This ship is damn near ready for sailing! Dear Jerry was a nice warm up listening party on the couch, but we want to hear for the Dreamers who dreamed it! Happy Friday! 6 weeks, 1 day, and 14 hours until showtime in Santa Clara! 7 weeks and 12 until showtime in Chicago! Patch Those Sails and Shine Those Rails! Have a Buzzy Day.

I fixed my Jerry jones..... Spent some time bonding with a pole, a cool kitty and the Chicago Blackhawks....I'm out another $20 Reminisced over personal losses, celebrated life and new found friends who are all dreamers.... Woke to the sound of the thunder and the rain pouring down, and it looks like the old man is.... ....getting on..... Bye B.B. If anybody sees Lucille give her a hug for me.... Coffee is ready! It's Friday....let's be thankful for all we are blessed with, 'cause as Chandra pointed out... The wheel is merciless night dear Stella...good morning Campers! The Thrill may be Gone But Our Love Will Not Fade Away...... Mmmmmmbop bop, Bop Bop.....

RIP big blues man

And goodnight, dear B.B. Thank you for the music. It's nice to think of everyone communing together in person and remotely over the Dear Jerry fest while I was at work doing the deal. Sorry for the loss of the Blues great. It's just that Wheel. So. Here's to all our safe passage to Chicago and beyond. It will be great while it lasts <3 Boo I hope to see some of those monkeys in June. Hope they have a place to play! Sounds like there's nothing but nothing near SC. Big sigh. :) I have a gray-eyed cat snuggled up to me as I say goodnight with my brown eyes. Another two hours before rrgrr and Tonytone are up but... I think we've had enough of a day, que no? It's been a big full day. Night dreamerz... Sweetest of dreamzzz.

I saw BB King at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento about 16 years ago. Great show.Great man. RIP Mr. King

R.I.P. B.B. King! I was lucky to get to see him about 10 years ago with Buddy Guy warming up. BB sat the whole time while he played but put on a great show. A true blues legend...

Youngster! I think my first LP was Out of the Blue by ELO, or was it Capt Fantastic by Elton? Probably Elton John, I think it came out in '73-74 (I was 9-10 yrs old).

good night rrrgggrrr and company, good morning dear stella.
