Missed the conference.
No setup information on website until after the conference had started; it would be nice in the future to list connection and software requirements so one could be prepared ....
Aghhhh!

To get from 'cool' to 'real' you have to pass thru a lot of awkward - its a magical place we all trudge thru.

large undertaking for UCSC
From the sounds of it this is going to take a while to catalog this stuff. Plus just imagine how much is really there. Eileen said she has been saving stuff since the first Dead newsletters of the early 70's. Weir and Hart have no idea how much is in there. Some of it sounds more like it should go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rather than a library, but I am sure they will figure it out. A pretty cool press conference though and Bob and Mickey were pretty funny about it all.
I won't hold my breath waiting for a refund of my contribution to the Terrapin Station project, but after this announcement they should lower the price of the album by ten bucks, at least.
"All that material, which Law explained would have found a home in the Dead's once-planned Terrapin Station museum, will be housed at the McHenry library at Santa Cruz."

There is your answer. I haven't seen this comment in any other article regarding that UCSC deal. It's been more than a week. Don't bet on them posting the MP-3 of that press conference here either...
