Grateful Dead

So many bands. So many shows. Where will you be?

The other day in the Dead & Company thread on Facebook, some guy was complaining about getting a hard time from older Heads because he never saw Jerry and so would never get the real experience, yadda yadda... He thought this was especially unfair because he wasn't even born till 1997. Whenever we each got on the bus, we've all heard something similar, with people pontificating that we can't possibly be Dead Heads because we never saw a)Jerry b)Pigpen c)Keith and Donna .... We were all new once. So welcome, new Heads AND old ones. Tell your tales here.

Coming to Santa Clara in June? Here's the place to post about don't-miss local attractions, avoidable road hazards, good food, great scenes, etc.

Summer's here and the time is right...for hitting the road. And while some folks enjoy the tours and the fests in deluxe accommodations, plenty of others are watching every dime to make it all happen. How have YOU survived on tour? Any great tales of where to get good food or a place to stay at a decent price? Any businesses that welcome Our Kind (or at least don't freak out when we come to town)? Clever vending strategies (let's stick to the ones that will not attract unwelcome attention from law enforcement here, as on the Internet anyone can be reading anything...)?

By request of Mike Edwards, who's making a documentary on this unique, memorable festival at Pyramid Lake. If you were there, tell us about it...

Somewhere along the line I think the current topic for this disappeared in the transition. This is not so good. I herewith fix the omission. Vibe on!

Stories of, for and by the unsung heroes without whom none of this would have happened...
