    You are all *something* else, thanks for that..
    You are all part of that X factor, that unexplainable extra reason why I/we did what we did. I try to explain it to my non dead head wife. "Was it the music she asks"? "Yes" I answer.. "Was it just the music she asks"? "No there was more" I say. Was it the adventure? Yes there was plenty of adventure, hitching, sleeping out doors, making do, waking up covered in dew far away from home, giving things away, having things given to you, meeting strangers/friends, missing class, quitting jobs, following a crazy path that somehow improbably seemed to work out. Was that all? No there was something else, the quest, the music the adventure, the crazy path, the friends all that plus *something* else. This forum, this chat this group.. You are that something else !!! Thanks

    Spectrum was a great venue, no doubt. Spent a few evenings there myself!! Love the tee, tfonts! I used to wear a tee to all concerts...sure I made the purchase on the lot somewhere. It read "Who are the Dead and why do they keep following me?"

    You need a pic kiddo. Let's get some cool thingy up there for your name. Can't believe no comments on my Spectrum T-Shirt. That was my "Dead" home....most played venue in this great land of ours !!! And of course was there in '09 just before the wrecking ball tore it down. Unveiled a tie-die 53 in the banners - OMG....CHILLS. And the encore that night? Samson and Delilah of course...."if I had my way....I would tear this ole building down." Alright...I better go see my wife before the divorces me !!! God bless her poor soul....lol

GM I'm not trying for SC tickets as all my eggs are in the Chicago basket but I waited almost 3 months for my answer...happiness to have gotten a response from Elvis that my email had been sent and I didn't get it so yes indeed I'm in. So comparatively 5 days seems great. Good luck and a beautiful day to all.

and the sweet memory of singing harmony to Bob Marley songs with the strolling guitar player at the (nearly deserted) Wyndham Rosehall restaurant. The smile on his face when he realized I knew every word to Redemption Song was like a sunrise. ...we sang every song that driver knew. Back to the salt mines. I can pick & shovel, too.

You should not be fretting ever about not having half and half for your Blue Mountain (or your Kona for that matter). You should be sad that it was likely drip...you want to see what it brings out? Use a vac-pot (syphon) or pour-over...or better yet, an espresso made by an experienced barista...THEN you will never want anything else but Blue Mountain and Reggae I don't leave home without proper coffee gear...that is a must to start any day!

GD 50th update: We are now answering emails for anyone who is still in "limbo". We do not have seat locations at this time. The Fabulous Envelope Art contest winners have selected and notified! It was a difficult task, choosing the finalists, as each and every envelope is an incredible piece of art, many being museum worthy. http://www.gdtstoo.com/GDTSTOOupdate.html

Trying to contain my enthusiasm - a Pending Charge just posted to my credit card from music today. It's different than a posted transaction. Kind of like a hotel pre-authorization.

Mine was a picture of a cow eating grass... "Where's the Grass?" you ask.. "Cow ate it all" I say.. "Where's the cow?" you ask... "He left, no sense hanging around..." Apparently, the GDTStoo folks thought it looked too much like Rgrgrgr's Polar bear/snowstorm envelope. got my pink slip early on...only it was white too. Thank you for your attention. We now return you to your regular scheduled forum posts.

Lots of posts on the big board of peoples CC's being charged for their SC tickets. Any SD'ers have any luck? My ability to get tickets continues to be a whopping 0 %. And I'm not even going to SC - they'll be miracled to any SD'er or head who wants them @ face.

I did not attempt to get tickets to SC because I didn't think I could afford the time away and the $ for going to SC AND FTW, despite my lovely wife's encouragement to go for it (last run and all)...I am now having serious not-a-buyer's remorse for passing on the SC lotto. I still may try to figure out a way to get to SC but need to continue to ruminate on that for a while. so, if anything is still available after my rumination period, I'll just havta look around.
