    Nah ...
    ... definitely ain't gots mine. I'll be addressing this issue when I return to work next week. There's an email for a person named Casson on the relevant thread who's dealing with this shambles. She works for the fulfillment company involved, "fulfillment company" being a phrase that fundamentally gives me the creeps. Kinda, you know, definitely NOT a GD vibe. Small consolation: Going by the "listening party" they, it sounds like a dog anyway - a judgment confirmed by a Maldon GD buddy who HAS got his copy.

    Road Trips Vol 1.
    Did anyone pre-order Road Trips Vol 1 and actually receive it? I pre-ordered on November 3rd and then waited until January 4th before emailing a complaint to the Dead Store that it had not received. It was shipped again and arrived in 6 days! "Lost in the post" - well maybe, except that I know at least 3 others Aussie Deadheads who had the same experience with this shipment.

    ... spotted in Blenheim, NZ: 0 Musical highlight: Hearing "Everlasting Love" by U2 on the plane home. Now that's a band I generally loathe, but it's a great tune. I wish I still had the album with it on by the tune's composer, Mac Gayden, AND all the great Barefoot Jerry stuff.

    Greetings ...
    ... to all my fellow Melbin/Oz Deadheads. Bennie and I are bunking at Grandma's joint in Blenheim (top of the South Island) for the next week or so. With nothing more strenuous planned than movies, A-League and Premier League and Food Channel on the box, the odd movie, winery eats, lots of reading (Michael Moorcock's Gloriana) and so on. I look forward to hooking up with you all on our return. Cheers, Kenny

    To tellya the truth ...
    I haven't been at the Commercial on a Sunday arvo for at least a couple of years, so I'm just assuming it'll be open. Bennie and I went a couple of months ago for the $10 Monday meal deal. We drove past on the way to tae kwando this morning and the out-back beer garden looked like a cool place for us to visit. See yez tomorrow! ******* A long 12 hours of boring post-election newspapering today, with the following to keeps me awake: Roky Erickson - I Have Always Been Here Before. I love the sound of distorted autoharp in the morming! GD - DP29, Steppin' Out With ..., Vault III

99.9 The Bay fm in Australia rocks out! Contemporary and Aboriginal music, plus a kick ass Grateful Dead show. What’s not to love.
“Listen to the River” looks great. 1971 is possibly my favorite year . Will have to wait for my old fart social security check in a couple weeks to order. Beans & rice , rice & beans, and a victory garden. Apricot trees (in town) , pick, dry and store.
Several weeks w/o ganga. I think the THC is still kicking in from what little fatty tissue i have on me and from all the smoked phatties from all the years combined.
Phatty Patrol wasn’t just the destination, it was the journey & adventure.

Champagne lifestyle on a near beer budget. Mesquite beans are almost ready also. Wild fruit trees. Bulk food order. Walk as much as I can. Keep from driving as many days in a row as possible.
Baby boomer retirement.
Enjoying the Australian based Grateful Dead radio show, Long Strange Trip. (Bay FM 99.9 Byron Bay) Contrary to some folks notions, radio is not dead. Streaming stations from around the world is an amazing way to get a glimpse, feeling, idea of what’s goin’ on. I really dig stations from Peru,Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Jamaica, Canada (Nunavut) and down under. Add in Tribal radio stations from around the U.S. As i live off the grid in the “outback” of the great Southwest this keeps me tuned in.
