    Tickets and Dead Covers
    I enjoyed the Dead Covers Bracket also. My first choice was "He's Gone" by Alice and her gang. I also liked The Lower Companions "Mississippi Half-Step" and The Play Dead "Black Throated Wind." For the record, I am hoping for a ticket for at least one night - with a view. Ideally a MO ticket. Depending on the cost, I will hopefully then have a ticket to get in the building to miracle to somebody. Welcome SoCalDeadfan! Nightzzzz

    @ tom hanlon and tickets...
    Couldn't have said it better bro....you are spot-on. And to be clear, my expectations are still low on copping any of these eBay auctions. I do know this - I prefer a GDTS TOO commemorative ticket, rather than a TM ticket (I think I can speak for all on that one). I also want a frickin' view of the stage (which I believe every GDTS TOO ticket will have). I also believe, as posted last night on the big board, that when tickets finally get sent out in June and arrive in people's mailbox, that there will be a flurry of ticket sales during that time period. So, I've concluded that yes, there is a price for "peace of mind" by securing a ticket during the next 8-10 weeks, but patience, as always, is a virtue.

    @tfonts re: ebay sale for Friday
    I'm in if you've got room for one more. I won't place a bid 'cause I don't want to drive you up, but let me know if you're not bidding any more...

    Nice avatar ASL! Looks like a sticker, are you printing them? I've printed some GD50 logo stickers, 2.5" round to give to everyone at the pic-a-nic, would love one of these though.

    Good luck to MadSwan, tfont, properlejdi and ASL
    Good luck you all on the divide and conquer Ebay sale. I intend to wait for a bit longer. Try to relax this whole thing is way more stressful than it used to be. My heart raced every time the seconds ticked down to a sale time. CID presale, TM sale, Dear Jerry Citi bank presale, Dear Jerry 9:30 club presale, Dear Jerry public. That is 5 near cardiac arrests while waiting for bits and bytes to come over the wire and show me success or failure. At least the Mail Order was not a single high stress moment, just a series of days waiting for bad news. So watching an ebay auction come to an end and wondering if my bid was accepted would be too stressful. I do wish you all luck though.

I am listening through www.Dead50.net. I bought all 5 shows for $110. Totally worth it. It's webstreaming fantastically. In my Living Room Live! This is GRATE!! The Boys are sounding tight. And some cool videos and music during set break.

It was dripping pitch and made of woodAnd your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

oh, you're here.....morning...Sunday I guess.... Coffee is on....thanks geosomuchfunlastnightwishyouwereatourbuddyohwaityouaremeister, Miami kid you are worthy, Stan and Totes....n all you in SC.... I feel invigorated, refreshed and spent... Dominant and violated.... Trey, I love you, man.... Where have you been all my life..... BTW Stellz.....see that rainbow?.....came in colors everywhere...... Just like the days of old..... Drink all day and rock all night..... That's how the song goes.... Now get your rest, Sarge move over, Stella needs her rest..... Now that your up Pup.... let's go back to where it all began, just like the boys did last night.... the book of Genesis... The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave. He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy, To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair, The scene of death is lying just below. The mountain cuts off the town from view, Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. Let it be revealed. A waterfall, his madrigal. An inland sea, his symphony. Undinal songs Urge the sailors on Till lured by sirens' cry. Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change.

ahhh....the day after....where is it? Uhoh, gone again...once again it's missing....why? I was really paying attention...I knew it would be so...I was hoping it would come true...we were childlike in anticipation...then it did! Yup they stole my face right off my head...and I do so love it when that happens...where is it? there it is, patiently sitting there next to the smug kitten-purr puppy-waggle head who is smiling from ear to ear...ahhhhhhh...all better now. Digress time, as Shirley says to Stanley, while we gather our thoughts again...there's one!..and get ready for day two.. How can we miss you when you won't go away...please stay, Irene, the diet-challenged lady ain't gonna sing, ever, cause it cannot ever ever ever be over, rover. We don't want to miss you, we want to kiss you and hold you tight: the music, the dance, the song, the laughter, the sharing and caring and love for all of this and that and you and you and you and yes, you too bring to this world; our Dainty Ever-loving Amazing Darling family. How come there are not any locks on ba dus? Because you are welcome to get on anytime, stay as long as you want; no need to luck the doors, nobody ever wants to leave. That's right, Women are smarter! So, about those roses...and the petals...and the ever so sweet fragrance of the Boys singing and playing last night...my oh my, we were treated to a feast at the first sitting, and it was so good. Seeds were planted; we read and remember that there-abouts a band sprouted forth some 50 years ago. We remember with love those who started the garden but left too early...starting with PigPen and ending with Jerry, you will always be here in our hearts... Thank you Bobby and Phil and Billy and Mickey for doing what you have always done so well, for taking us back, for bringing us forward, for pushing it furthur...for keeping it fresh, for surprising us with that song only ever played once before, and thank you for reminding us how timeless and universal the music is. ...round about sometime last Tuesday a fortnight and three score or more days ago we saw this shiny dus pull up outside, with a briver who had a twinkle in his eye and a song on his heart. Springing forth like a box load of excited puppies dumped on the carpet of life before us, we scrambled around, rolling and prancing and dancing and dashing and wagging our little tails we all got to know each other. An oreo? A cuppa Joe, a spot of brew? A hug, a smile, an extended hand? Why sure, for we were apart, and now we are together. Turn up the Dass, briver, this is the good part. Last night we gathered from all across the land and became one again. Thank you for being part of the whole...and let's do it again and again and again and again... geoyesweareallplayinginthebandmeister

The tax man's taken all my dough,And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got, All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Stellz.....dont have to ask are you experienced?...... welcome to the club! wait till geo teaches you the double secret handshake using only your left foot...but I digress,,,, Hey Roxanne, you still here?....Stella vacated the back bench...what you say you and I....Sarge take the wheel....

On the shuttle back to my room. Missed the organized chaos yesterday and instead walked one hour in the urban landscape in the wrong direction. Chased down a cab. Today we bee lined to our way post encore tears to the bus but it is not "ba dus" . Sleepy deadheads around me. Scent of red rose and Mandarin citrus courtesy of my cid package. Craving grilled cheese and ipa. But stuffed myself nuf full of memories, and released enough cathartic emotions to make this leg of the tour the finale non parallel. But chugging forward to chitown... Hope to meet you all and celebrate our homecoming together! Coxoxo

These last few days... first SCOTUS comes through <3 Then CHI tickets arrive finally then an amazing sunset at work. And of course yesterday with Rainbow Clouds on the way to Santa Clara, and then actual DEW from the sky - and tonight... He's Gone always gets me... and that cute little bow at the end. :') And both the girls on either side of me got to hear the ONE song they each were hoping to hear.... SIGH/Chills/Happiness/Gratitude/I can't believe how magic it always is... Oh boy I feel it all. I am emotionally stable. Emphasis on the "emotionally." Me, Uncle? For a while now... Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful... I like that Mickey. SINCERE <3 Sorry I missed you Tami. Got my hug from Greg2 and dear Gob showed sis 'n me the way to Shakedown :) Winding down in Marriottland. I ain't ready yet, to go to bed Think I'll take a walk downtown instead xoxo
