    saw that guy just this morning... all's well in DFW, enjoying the shows from the couch and lazy person's chair. Hallway is very convenient for that dance or two too. Peace and best wishes to old and new heads, on the bus, magic carpet or segwaaaay.

    Thanks for sharing Graceful Tom. Those kind of tales just don't come across in the streams & downloads. What a just exactly perfect 50th BD celebration for your lucky friends – sounds like they're now on the bus. And speaking of "bus", where's Geomeister? Anybody spot him at any of the shows? To everybody in Bristow, enjoy the ride tonight. Looks like it'll be cooling off by showtime and the rain will hold off til after midnight (but who'd notice anyway!) Onward!

    A good time was had by all, in spite of the lawn area being oversold by three-fold, in my opinion. And the brief summer shower, even as the horizon cleared for the sunset, came just as Bobby reached the crescendo on Looks Like Rain; perfectly timed. As a 50th birthday present we brought some friends to their first exposure of any kind to this world. They had a blast. And made so memorable for the incident of the friendly fellow who approached us early in the first set and asked if he could leave his Birkenstocks under our beach chairs. We then proceeded to share some of what he grows himself, and did not see him again until the end of intermission. He was OVERJOYED to find us and his sandals. Our friends now have an indelible impression of the nature of interactions between Heads. By now you will have heard of the continuing modifications to the treatments of the old song pairs: China and Rider as bookends to the set rather than a doublet: anything is possible. And what Mr. Mayer did with Deal was epic. EP-IC.

    Looks like just exactly perfect weather at Fenway tonight & tomorrow. Don't be late – don't want to miss getting blasted out of the ballpark! And, just curious, who's in the SSDDer contingent there? Onward y'all! BTW: Bit the bullet and got a brand new Oat Cart last week with mucho mas "After Midnight Oat-age". Just love that "new cart smell!"

    Great show, got an Easy Wind, Throwing Stones and a belated Flag Day Liberty. Highlight was Lil John doing his best David Lindley falsetto Stay imitation on The Wheel. Only gripe Pennsylvanias 5 0. For Chrissakes, you think El Chappo was in attendance. What a bunch of tools. ASL and Roadking, Enjoy Fenway kids! as an aside, a few weeks ago on another subform my concern that setlists have stagnated since 10/2015.... To quote Rosanne Rosanadana...."nevermind"

    Hey rgerrgelis et alii, Glad to hear the feared cloud of stagnation is lifting so more and more spontaneity can seep into Dead & CO '17. You could tell from the nugs tease last night that Burgettstown was going new places (I'd love to hear the whole show). And those Boulder shows were definitely high in the Rockies. Looks like a few clouds may keep temps down in Boston so y'all can better meld with the music. Onward Daydreamers!

of Oreos that I can think of are the Red Velvet, Reeses, and yes... the S'mores!! I brought a package of those to a birthday party on Sunday. They went over fairly well. I only had one and didn't have milk with it so I didn't get to fully experience it, but of what I tasted, yum! They carry different selections in different stores including some that I haven't tried - the lemon and the mint. I might not have tried the golden birthday cake ones but I've tried the golden ones and the birthday cake ones and am to understand that the golden birthday cake ones are the best. They make mini original ones that come in a snack bag that can be pretty entertaining :) Also I HAVE BEEN DRINKING WATER and it is a miracle! Thank you <3 Aside from that... I feel like I should be drinking coffee when I catch up here with you all, but it's actually my bed time... which means it's time for Rrrgrr and Tonytone to rise and shine :D

Excuse me please, experienced heads: As far as shows... If one were to go to one or the other show in Santa Clara... might it as well be either? If one were to sit one out in Chicago... it would be Friday me thinks? Is this an intuition thing, or is there a sciency kind of an art to it? xoxo Stella

hi c- i think all the shows will be great but if i was forced to choose, i'd go with friday in SC. If i had to skip one in chicago it would be friday. just my 2 cents. gob ps- pls check your pm

The law of inertia dictates that you should always go to the first show of the run so that you will then resist a change in motion and find that you ended up going to all shows in the run. It's a sciency thing but there's a little bit of an art to pulling it off. Good luck!

another night down and day to go.... as promised, coffee is on...Colombian blend... it's a wee bit strong but after a night in the mines, it is much needed.... 8 more hours, and it'll be time to tie one on! question begs, should it be a full or half Windsor... Knot joking here.... BTW, quite the thread we had going... think I'll crank the tunes... Silver threads and golden needles couldn't mend this heart of mine.... and Stella, agree with that son of a Bee...Friday if you need to choose.... And I didn't forget you #88.... Goal and an assist....love me some Pat Kane....

Someone described SC as the working man's shows. Not true. Unless you show up on Friday. The magic can appear on any night and they'll all be unique in their own special way. So hit 'em all if you can. And if you can't, don't sweat it. Whichever one(s) you choose will be great.

Haha BeeLawBlog. You speak my language. Well... I have a little more ruminating to do. I want to do it all, and I just don't always get what I want. Which at first is really annoying, let me tell you... There's also the joy of helping others get what they want even if I can't. Times like these that selfish part of my heart says "why can't you just be a little bit of a scalper like all those 'heads' on ebay with one sob story or another." Well Chandra (I say to myself) because that would take all the wind out of your sails for the nights you *can* be there and well. There's no magic in that. And that's what this is all about. .,-'*'-,.<3.,-'*'-,. a little (or a lot of) magic. I am moving on to bigger guns of fund raising. I'm going to do the sell-my-stuff routine like I did in my twenties for lesser goals. I can stand to lighten the load though. My newest medium-term goal involves a road and a bike and there's no room for all that much on that trip. ;) I will keep you guys posted on details of the sale. Some of you might want some of that (media) magic, and there's lots to go around. Love Stella

(I first thought the lyric was "only love can feel.") And there's lots of feels here in the sister pad - we just finished watching The Other One on Netflix. Sissy wasn't having it, but I said "just the first five minutes. If you don't like it, we can change it." Well. We just watched the last of it. The bus is literally "coming around again" for her, after she was literally invited on to Phil's tour bus last month, but had one of the (only 3 or so) legitimate reasons not to hop on then and there. Great way to end the day... ended up picking up a spare night shift at the mines, so a good day it was, and soon it's time for zzzz. On that note... zzz.

Some come to make it just one more day. TGIF (thank gob it's Friday) 4 weeks, 1 day, and 14 hours until Santa Clara. Folks, we are officially a lunar month plus 2 hours to the beginning of the first show! Calibrate your sun dials and chart the stars. 5 weeks and 12 hours until Chicago. The lords and ladies of this cracked court of Sunshine Daydreamers will bring this carnival to the Fountain and fill our cups (and empty them TOO). Patch those sails and shine those rails!
