    The conference is over. We will be putting it up permanently on this page as soon as we get it.

    thrilled & releived
    We just read the article from The SF Gate . It is so nice to know it is NOT bad news !! I was scared that Rhino would take everything from the archives and sell it all .. Man what a releif !! When UC Santa Cruz gets it all organized it would be a heck of an exhibit.. We would heve to plan a trip to California to see that .. And a huge Thank you to Eileen Law for being the safe keeper of everything for all these years !! ( huge sigh of releif ) .. The UC of Santa Cruz sounds like the perfect place for the safe keeping of the Dead`s (and our ) history . I am quite sure they will take exelent care of everything.. And they have been teaching a music class on the Grateful Dead , WOW ,, that is way cool !! And a radio show , also way cool !! I will still tune in for the press confrence .. man i feel so much better ,, i`ve been downloading everything i could for the past few days ,,i can take a break for now .. So again Thank you Eileen !! And many thanx to the UC of Santa Cruz !! And also many thanx for all the previous posts of this imformation !! Peace everyone !!

    Amazing ...
    If Eileen Law saved EVERYTHING ... all my nutty letters from the 1980's will be there ... and my frame-by-frame suggestion for a music video of Standing On The Moon (from early 1990?) and all other stuff I have sent to Dead Heads since my first fan letter in early 1981 ... ;-) But what an archive it must be ... even though I have met older Heads from Sweden who have their OWN private archives, with drawings and you know what, stuff that have been made since the early 1970's ... so WHAT AN ARCHIVE IT COULD HAVE BEEN ,,, with EVERYTHING from around the globe ... it would take all of the actual university area to store all that ... ;-) But ... I also say thanks to Eileen for saving everything ... the good ol' Grateful Dead will probably be the greatest treasure for researchers for years to come ... and perhaps their will be some more scrapbooks to be issued??

    posters
    I wonder if there is a copy of a poster I drew for Jerry Garcia Band back in 1973. Thanks Eileen for saving everything!!

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." RELIX Magazine 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...
