    What can I say?
    What a great run! In no particular order...I logged into the site numerous times over the 30 days and found something new every time. Met a dude online that sent me a DVD of of three SBD's of a run at MSG. Met another dude online and we're gonna keep the discussions going and are planning on doing a CD(s) swap. Got two friends in line for me to burn them the 30 Days to DVD. Kept a spreadsheet of the songs, dates and locations. Read some grateful and (quite amusing) hateful posts. Downloaded 38 unreleased songs (1 per day, 4 doubles, 1 triple and the "B" cuts). Won a weekly prize! (Chose the Warner Bros. Vinyl box set.) Was given a link to a hilarious Brokedown Palace that is started in the wrong key and Jerry says, "It's all f*&%$@ up man!" Got some cool album artwork from Canyon Critter that looks really great on my iPod. While doing "research" (HA! Research!), re-discovered "Bear's Choice" and the AMAZING Katie Mae. Probably much more. Gracias, rg

    Welcome to Day 31
    Once the narrative information about Sugar Magnolia is released, the compilation of documentation for 30 Days of Dead will be complete, It's available for download at 30daysofdead.weebly.com. It appears as though all of the music will fit on 5 chronological CD's. Pigpen: Cream Puff War - Easy Wind A (64:16) Pigpen: China Cat Sunflower - He's Gone (71:54) Brent : Estimated Prophet Cassidy > Don't Ease Me In (67:46) Brent: St. Stephen - Let It Grow (60:23) Keith/Vince: Playing in the Band - So Many Roads (78:04) What song do we explore on December 1st? I nominate Ramble on Rose. Does anyone have a favorite version that they would like to share for our guessing game? Or have the rules changed? Maybe we ought to listen to a "Song of the Week," and select the most-liked version by consensus. This would definitely lead to lively discussions if we remain actively interested. What surprise awaits us on Day 31?

    It sounds like you are in the same boat that a lot of us are in. That's why I am grateful for this site and the folks who come here as well as for Furthur. We got to keep this magic alive. We will get by. We will survive. Btw = I agree with you about Facebook! Those sites make me cringe. I prefer being a tad more anonymous! "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

    It would be interesting to discuss this a little bit more. I'm really not the social networking type. My wife spends 6 hours a day IM'ing on FaceBook, but I'm lucky if I check my E-mail once a week. If I don't make an effort, I'll just be "out of the blue, into the black" and retreat into my own head. Talking to my cat about GD. It's becoming harder for me to keep in contact with my bros that I toured with. A few have passed now. When we do have time, it seems there is so much other life to talk about, and real time bonding with the music playing is rare. I don't mean to gush so much, but the odd thing, is that this simple promo touched me so deep.

Man - I'll walk in the SunShine DayDream any day!And it's not like we're waiting until September :-) The fact that you started the 31st Days competition off your own back, at your own expense, is deeply cool. Thank you Spring is over the horizon, and it sounds like it ain't gonna come too soon in the Canyon. Stay warm, and if you're in NYC this summer, there's a beer with your name on it.

Just got it today... awesome! Just in time for Friday night too... beautiful! We're gonna crank out a really nice vintage bottle of French wine tonight and play this beauty! Of course we're not stopping with just the bottle; there'll be a few choice brewskis to back that up for sure! :-) Hey, you only live once, and Sunshine Daydream is worth celebrating! Wish you were here Critter!! Thank you so much... I've been wanting to see this beauty for years! Nothing left to do but... :-) :-) :-) Love, hippiedarkstar

And on the 31st Day... Thank you so much for all of this. I can't recall any other band that gives me 30 days of free music from the depths of the archives and such great shows. The discussion and annual contest game will continue here: And on the 31st Day... Last year I made up a couple of games and gave out things like The Creamery Benefit Show of 8-27-1972 DVD. I worked hard on some new artwork for this year, and will add the back covers to the rest of the dead.net art already posted. Last night I could only stay up for a few hours dew to phone calls. I'll finish it up in the link above. Thanks for the list as well, I'll be using that to finish up the backs and the 6 Volumes. See you all this eve after work. ~Love is Real~ P.S. Yes this is a team effort. Like 3phase putting up the file and everyone else posting the links, etc. We are a family aren't we....Please make sure you stop by the 31st Day link (above) in the Dead.Net forum for everything related 30 Days of Dead in the future. All information and links and lists and contests will be posted there

This was the stuff I created, but not the stuff Dead.Net came up with. Don't know where that is. Last Years Album Artwork: 30 Days 2010~1 30 Days 2010~2 30 Days 2010~3 And let's move on to this year 2011! 30 Days 2010~4

Really, really nice art. I have to admit to being partial to the male/female skeleton pair. I wish I could post the Tibetan Kinkara skeleton couple. What deadheads did with this motif actually has an ancient lineage. You have a really nice touch, Mr. Critter

A five disc chronological set works so perfectly I feel like someone planned it out like this at HQ! Disc 1= 1967-71 Disc 2= 1972-73 Disc 3= 1974-77 (two Lazys but oh well) Disc 4= 1978-1981 Disc 5= 1982-1992 I'll still use the CD fronts.

This Monday: I'll be finishing up the 31st Day Contest tonight, sorry for the delay but I had alot of work over the last week. I would like to say that I'm truly happy that Dead.Net did such an excellent job this year, they really pulled out all the stops. In honor of David's new picks coming out, the contest is going to be a tribute to his "Star Wars" theme (not overly Ewok but just a hint). Please go here tomorrow to see the new video and contest. First contest prize is going to be the first 3 to guess the right venue, musicians, and song in the contest will be getting the wonderful Chateau D'Horreville show that was played on a whim (due to a cancellation of a festival) in 1971 by the GOGD. Oh and I elected not to make artwork this year, because Dead.Net and Rhino were so efficient on the album covers.

❤ ♡ ❤ ღ ~Critter

I ♥Love♥ messing around with my video program so it's actually just as much fun to make. You bring me such cheer as well with all your shining light you bring to Dead.Net. So I'm truly happy to be able to give you a present of your own and make you smile on a rough day. Luckily that's what this band is all about LOVE and MUSIC....Thank you Grateful Dead for changing my life. I really hope everyone likes the "Live Video" aspect of the song as well. ♥♥Love is Real, Not Fade Away!♥♥ ~Critter

Contest 31st Day #1 2011 Winners are: ecb NFA1985 and Ted (don't know your dead.net name) I still need Ted's address, I've got the other two, so i can send him a good bag (with Chateau D'Horreville 1971 DVD) and a few other goodies for the holidays. Way to go! I know it was a little tougher than I had thought, I thought for sure people would get this right away. The answer was: Furthur, 5/30/2010, Calaveras County Fairgrounds (Angel's Camp, CA) "Samson and Delilah" From the left: Jeff Chimenti Phil Bobby Joe Russo Larry Campbell on fiddle Jeff Pehrson Sunshine John Kadlecik If you ever going to listen to Furthur, these three special nights at Frogtown, USA were some of the best music I've heard since the early 90's Grateful Dead. Especially Friday's show, check it out. Next contest will be up in a couple of days or so. ~Critter
