    I'm Joe. I live in Ireland

    I'm Joe. I live in the west of Ireland.

    I am looking for a pen pal to write real pen and paper letters... share memories of the Grateful Dead, and stories about Ireland.

    I write poetry and shun technology. I have no email... a friend Dave is posting on my behalf. I am 74 years old. Let me know if you would like me to write a real old snal mail ;-)

    Looking for Tobin Smith or Domonique Farely

    Tobin and I attended July 10th 1987 Dylan/Dead show in Philly together and he got lost en route to the venue! We also went to the same high school, Bullis, in Potomac, MD circa 86-87. I'd love to run into him again and catch up.
    I knew Domo from school too. Good times.
    Is anybody else out there a dead head from Bullis HS in the late 80's? Did you attend our little Trips festival we had in Fall '86 at school during 'Recreation Day' or some such thing?

    Looking for Cindy Wright…

    Looking for Cindy Wright. Bay Area deadhead who used to work at BASS tickets and who was seeing the Dead since her first show at the closing of the Fillmore West in July 1971. She lived in Oakland or Alameda but was originally from Modesto or some other Central Valley time. Message me on twitter at @DrBeechwood if you have any info!

    Anyone know this lady Deadhead? She made these beautiful hand-painted parking lot shirts in 1980. I bought one. They were a limited edition of 100. I just wonder if she is still around. Thanks.

    Hey now!

    Anyone know how to find the person or people in charge of licensing for Dead-related stuff?

    I'm trying to navigate through Rhino and the only licensing stuff I can find seems to be about music. What about gear?

    Thanks in advance for any help or answers provided!

At the beginning of 2007 I got a really bad case of food poisoning and ended up being misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic. I was subsequently held in psychiatric facilities for 1.5 months before being released without any explanation as to how they supposed my "mental illness" was "all better". I've spoken with an attorney in my homestate of Pennsylvania (a deadhead) and I've been told that I have a legitimate case, but need to find family to represent me. I'm grateful for any help anyone can offer! Thanks and keep on truckin'! Joseph http://www.photonicbeing.org

I am also looking for heads in my area.. Big Rapids, MI - Sister Earth you are not too far :)I know there must be some in town, though because there is a telephone connection box with like 20 dead stickers on it in town. Would love to know of anyone around who even listens to the dead, let alone really likes them - I seem to be alone in this small town. I know we are everwhere, but is everyone who likes the dead in hiding in this tiny town :) Email me --> esawicki@yahoo.com

It's been awhile since i was in action, but it would be nice to hear from old friends I knew on tour... You see it's a Black Peter issue, as I am battling cancer.. I am about 3 hours from san fran, and I feel like the family can help me heal, and deal with this issue. And new friends are always welcome to chat with me, after all that's what family is all about.

I am looking for Jason Pizzo...he is the person that originally got me into the Dead...I guess I have to be grateful for that any way. We split up very unfriendly like and I just would like to apologize for my part in it....although not for the left hook in P'town...he kinda had that comin'.... I know he is in Vermont, probably Burlington...and I know that he just lost about everything he owned in a fire where he was living, as I saw it in the local paper from up there....but I dont know where he is now... If anyone up there reads this, and knows him, please tell him to e-mail me @ patriot.gyrl65@yahoo.com...... Tell him I said to get himself a can o' peas....

You know who you are! I used to chat with you on 40M and and repeaters up and down the coast. You used to come up to my car because it had call plates and antennas all over it (at the time in 88-90 had a white nissan sentra with my N6PPS plates) and we would talk shows and eqpt. while getting strange. We would also find ourselves in mid chat around the soundboard during shows. We would run into each other from LA shows to SF/Sac shows. I also met a few of you in Phoenix and Vegas before/during/after shows.... Where are you? PM me and we'll sched on HF or IRLP/Echolink Peace DE KJ7XJ CN87tf

Hey Annie! You were an unemployed architect from Connecticut who lived in the city. You made hippie beaded necklaces for a living and volunteered at the Warfield. We met on a plane from SFO --> PHX and rented a car together for the shows in Dec. 1992. You lived in an apartment near Delores Park and your neighbor was in the SF symphony or ballet or something? Remember the "Peace March" against the 1st Iraqi War from Delores Park to City Hall? Remember the morning of the march the Urban Foresters were planting trees along the street on your block? I think their goal was to plant ten thousand trees throughout the city. Remember during the march, the kid who climbed up the light post and yelled at the crowd? "What do we want?!!!" The crowd's response, "TO END THE WAR!" When do we want it?!! "RIGHT NOW!" We danced to the music on the square at City Hall after the march. I think I was the only one wearing slacks and a button-down shirt. Hey Annie! Where are you?

Hey That Nice Hippy Guy! I'm not so far away, and I've been thinking about going to southern Missouri. I live in Little Rock - only four hours to the Missouri line. Ha! Ever been to SchwaggStock? I haven't, but I love The Schwagg, and I've always wanted to go, and it's somewhere in southern Missouri. I'm looking for any kindred spirits in the central Arkansas area. I know there are some deadheads around here somewhere because we have seen one another at Juanita's. I just don't know you! Drop me a line anytime! Peace and Grateful Love Always
