2 1/2 days = 56 new SD posts - hey Tami

Moonlighting
Stella where will you find the time? Are we planning games for after the photo? I'd really like to!!! Or are people planning on only buzzing by for a spell? We should do a spelling bee! Pin the tail on the hippy, musical chairs, pass the dutchie... (Ha ha my spell check on dutchie came up as Ritchie)... We could play that too. K. Doc? You'll get passed around on the left hand side.
@in the Midnight.... in the Moonlight....
hello darkness my old friend.....I've come to talk with you again....
ain't goin' there cuz the batteries in my flashlight are dying slow...
But...If you ever feel lonesome
And you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal, or borrow
Two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
Where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us
As we kneel there
....in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight.....
Hey Stella...I sang you a song this morning....
Whatcha talking
'Bout Willis? Ok, count doc in for the games...who else is game for hanging around after photo?
After midnight we gonna shake our
Tambourines.
@bertha and the destroyers meet joe south....
Dressed myself in greenI went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines...
Yes I'm just passin' thru this time
I won't be stayin' here long
Just like an outlaw in a Willie Nelson song
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Bye-bye to you
Honey I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru
Well, it's hard to figure out just why
That I've got to be free
Stayin' in just one place
Don't appeal to me
So I guess I'll be rollin' on
Bye-bye to you
Sorry I can't stay
You know I'm just passin' thru
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Game night at Tie One On
If we in fact being hosted at Tony's hotel for a tie one o, . I hereby propose all SDers to a tie one on challenge- if you recall geo sent in a how- to video on how to transform a neck tie into a bow tie- start practicing...
Sweet Strawberry Moon
That was, if you missed it. She was kind this month.
So... Mahalo nui loa Uncle RRRGRRR. Your singing voice is fantastic! Thank you :)
Tami it sounds like you are inspired and fired about the games? I'll ask around, but in the meantime maybe run with what you have? I'm thinking only one or two. We might not get to them. We might be too busy snacking and running around talking to each other FACE TO FACE. I'm going to be silly with it. Oooh. What about SD trivia. "Which SDer when to ___ ___ State and graduated ___ ___ laude?" etc. Oof. That would take some information gathering... time.

So. I am looking for a lower tier GDTSTOO ticket. One for any or all nights. I love my no-view seats. It gets me in the building, and I'll always remember the moment Ticketmaster said "You're going to the Grateful Dead!" Because of that moment I TREASURE my sweet sweet no-view seats.
I have abstained from selling EVEN ONE of my tickets for over face value, much less for several hundred dollars as someone close to me suggested I do in March (they don't know). That way I would have been able to afford plane tickets or acomodations (sp). Rent, etc. "I can't do that" I said.
Still. I would part with and sell at face value one of my tickets that I am grateful for, if I could get a golden ticket for one night or two at one of the lower prices. That would be alright!
Just. You know. Putting it out there. I did finally send good 'ol E an email. Throw my hat in the ring. It's a little late but you never know. You just never can tell...
Alright. Back to selling stuff on ebay!
Love
Stella.
ps.
How the frack do you spell "accomodations"??
Tie a yellow ribbon...
.....round the old oak tree....thanks for the inspiration Tami....
Morning all...
Thursday here....
Grab your coffee...
How bout them Hawks...
Sorry Totes, but someone had to win that game....
follow the buzzing bee...
all together now....
Here's a little song you can all join in
It's very simple and I hope it's new
Make your own words up if you want to
Any old words that you think will do
Sunshine Daydreamers no ka oi.....
has any daydreamer received
has any daydreamer received and email or there tickets yet . Maybe I missed it in a post . I have asked several of the people I know in Ma. who got gdts tickets and no one has gotten any news as of last night. We think they might be going out in batches such as our notification of hitting lotto.Yes I so want to hold my tickets in hand just like a kid at Christmas
@Roger Miller aka....
King of the Road....
Not here in NY....but told the merry mailman what to look for....he's a head as well, so he has a vested interest....
I agree with the batch idea....I keep looking at my 2/26 confirmation email...sick thing is wondering if it's an April Fools joke...
but I know it's real....fingers and legs crossed here in da Buff....
guess I had too much coffee or beginnings of a prostate problem...
getting old sucks...
Have a great day....
Seal that Silver Mine!
3 weeks, 2 days, 10 hours until the winds blow into Santa Clara!
4 weeks, 1 day, 8 hours until Chicago. That's right, one lunar month until the winds blow in CHI Town!
Patch those Sails and Shine those Rails!
GDTS is down under the sea
Don't worry, be happy. I think the GDTS folks are working hard and getting out "batches" of emails and tickets. I'm thinking everyone will hear something over the next week or 2 rather than a single broadcast announcement (until all is said and done of course).
Not that my word is any consolation and won't keep you from stalking your mailman everyday.
@StellaMoon
2 M's in accommodations.
:-)
I was always a good speller.
@games
Games people play you take it or you leave it
things that they say, aren't right
If I promised you the moon and the stars
would you believe me?
Games people play in the middle of the night
Although I am not big on party games, I have no where else to be than at the pic-a-nic until we head over to Soldier, so whatever we do to pass the time and have fun, I'm all for it.
Should we wear all nametags? Seems kinda cheesy but how else are we gonna know who's who? A stand-up and speak session?
Hi, my name is Mike....I am a deadhead and I miss Jerry...
I could be wrong....
But I believe certain executive members of our Pic-A-Nic committee may, and I stress, "may," already be working on such a name tag idea.
I can't confirm nor can I deny; we'll just have to wait and see :-)
From the big board...
More USPS goodies arriving....FYI:

@Once in a while you get shown the light....
.....pulling the dus over at the next rest stop....time to stretch, relieve ourselves, have a cold one....water, milk...uh huh, sure it is.... ice coffee, cerveza....etc....this space is getting hot and not in a good way....whilst you romp and frolic in the fields of opportunity I will be seeking a fresh shot of refrigerant for our dus's AC....as lately it's been blowing mostly hot air...and when we began this grand crusade it was cool as a cucumber....
Rest stop up ahead....smoke 'em if you got 'em....
Oh I see we crossed the Alabama state line....
Oh mama, could this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again.....
and Mr. Mayor....I know....
( and a little advise....no more spell check...trust me, it's evidence based)
Oh, Texas medicine and railroad gin....maybe I'll mix them?
@in the strangest of palces, if you look at it right
Dus briver, hour we theeer wet?
@beeing dyslexic....
LMFAO....
Totes that's why I suggested you use the facilities....

don't remember who was drivin' that night....but it was memorable...
Love that two stepping son of a Bee!
Just got done talking with Gomer Pyle, the attendant at yonder fill station....says refrigerant's gonna be a couple of days, and he found a bent Johnson rod under the hood as well...gonna be awhile....I'll let you know when it's safe to board.....til then, talk amongst yourselves...
If it's gonna bee a while...
Pass the milk. And I tried to post a link here yesterday from Amazon for delivery of those elusive special edition Reese's Oreos. Even suggested we could get drone delivery to Buckingham Fountain.
But the link to Amazon apparently breaks the laws of the Dead.net boards...It just keeps getting tougher to keep it light...
Ho Gawks!
@light as a feather
just got done listening to Chick Corea with Airto and Flora Purim....
Gonna pipe that through our sound system.....
Sorry about the previous posts....
But...
I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress.....
It's all talk...cheap talk....
@Elmer Fudd
For a moment thought I might need to call 911 in Buff...
@Bugs.....

@lets not go there....
He and Alison Krauss duet nicely together....adding Donna will make even me feel like a stranger....
So let's get on with the show.....
@rrrrgrrrr (spelling)
Only offered spelling assistance because it was requested, but point well-taken.
How could I turn down StellaMoon? (I tried to resist but it was futile)

tickets and duets
received my tickets in Dallas-Ft Worth area today...woo hoo.
i think donna and plant would be...interesting...midpoint between complete cacophony and sublime harmony. actually, i REALLY enjoy Plant's Band of Joy and prefer it to the Plant/Krauss collaboration, which is also really good.
BoJ's pounding kettle drums, mandolin and buddy miller's guitar are sweet together.
Nametages and accomoadations
Morning! Thanks for the opportunity to stretch - it'll do well for the cat nap I'm about to take zzzz.zz.
