    War Stories from a youngin
    Once upon a time at Oakland Coliseum, sometime in '94 I saw The Grateful Dead. I always hung out in the parking lot DD (don't ask but that's how we did it) and even had tickets to the show....went up to "the gate" and they pulled me aside (outside of the venue) mind you and "searched" me. Ended up minus: 2 tix, 1 friend to the Bacon, 1 small 8th of Shomps, 14 hits of Pyramids, and $82 in cash....yet those fucks still let me in the show.....I was totally pissed, but at the same time, I loved that show with all my heart! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

    War Stories Forum under "The Scene"
    If you missed it, like I did, GD War Stories live under the Topic "The Scene", first subtopic"Really Bad Scenes". Jeez, GOGD, you posted there, why didn't you tell me? You too Frankly! I wanna hear the one about the horse cop and the paper that messed you up! A lot of people seem to be afraid of those horse cops! I think it is good to hear the Good, the Bad & the Ugly. It was part of the package! The scene has mellowed out considerably now, though. It ain't The Grateful Dead anymore, a living breathing thing that was more than the sum of it's parts.

    Frankly, War stories may be to weird!
    Hey Now Frankly! Wondered if I knew you. Yeah, but probably not from this life. Really loved your art though. It is way out there, especially the lotus petals around '"The Wheel"! Hope others check your stuff out. If you look, I did post on "Around the Fire". Check it out if you want, it's probably 2 or 3 pages back (or more) by now. The thing I want (& GOGD too, apparently) is a place to tell "war stories". Given all the cautionary warnings about what to post I guess it may not be the best topic. I don't particularly care what I post, as long as it doesn't offend, but others -- well, let us just say Paranoia Strikes Deep. Telling stories about the truly weird, strange, down & dirty & interfaces with the man might just overload the circuits. Maybe better to ask around the campfire at the actual campfire on this tour! When the Dead are singing tales through live human beings you know it gonna' get stranger, so we'll get on with the show -- probably without this topic. Hope to meet you round he campfire! We'll shoot the shit till the sun comes up and the angels and demons quit careening through the shadows!

    Might we beg a place to tell our cautionary tales of tours gone by? It wasn't all roses and patchouli out there and nobody has to look at the topic if they don't want to. Just thought the yung'uns ought to know.

I agree with reedchris. It's definitely faster. It worked fine while Bear, Pid and I were talking. But, when I left and tried to get back in, it said 'chat is already running in another window'. Not sure what that's about, but grate so far!! Thank you Marye...we miss dead chat soooooooo much!!!

Hi marye!! Of course there was NOT another window open....LOL Shame on me if there was...hehe! It's happening to me right now actually. I was in a bit earlier. I lost my internet connection due to some storms in the area. When I came back in, there was a dup account for me in the chatters list. So, techgurl2k1 was there. And, techgurl2k1_dup_A1....or something like that was also there. I refreshed my browser. I have closed out IE completely and opened a new session. I logged out of the site and logged back in, then launched IE. The only thing I have not done is reboot. So, I will try that and I'll come back to the forum. Thanks! Oh, I confirmed with deadheadkid that the IDs are not currently in the chatters list. I was thinking maybe I was holding a connection. thanks!

To have a real paper Almanac just put a big grin on this 'old school' deadhead. Thanks so much out there. Another to add to my collection. And I don't even have to turn on the computer to enjoy it. A lamp and my reading glasses, but not the 'puter!!

Hi marye, No reason to be embarrassed, and it certainly wasn't any trouble. It was pretty amusing, I sorta figured it was a little accident (there was a cover art change in the middle), although I wondered if it might be one of your web programmers having a little fun, showing off for his buddy: "Dude, watch this...(uploads page/links to "Recent Posts")...how long do you think it'll take for someone to notice - damn, 15 seconds!" Cheers, MitD

Whats the story with this Dead show? I keep calling Penn State and get no negative and no positive response. I called GDTS too early (EST) on Monday and woke some poor woman up. She was pleasant and said they had no info yet. It a fundraiser for some politico in need of help. Haven't voted in thirty years so I have no interest in that part. Please post info soon.

Does anyone have any information on the Dead with Warren Haynes and The Allmans at State College show. It is supposedly Oct.13th and a rally for Barack Obama. I cannot find any information about it all. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Especially information on how to get tickets. If someone can help me with tickets I will try to make it worth your while if you live near Pittsburgh or are planning to go to the show.

Ms. Binta is no longer among us. Seems like every time an email goes out or a new release arrives the spammers et al go through a brief period of rediscovering dead.net. Keep me posted if any of them annoy you, send you weird solicitations, etc. Thanks!

That's pretty good that someone only 1 hour old can post to the internet. They're getting younger with each passing day. Soon they'll be posting from the womb I guess.

What's up guys, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the inaugural Chicago Bluegrass & Blues festival, this 11/22 at the historic Congress Theater, all benefiting the Saving Tiny Hearts Societies fight against the country's most common birth defect. www.cbgbfestival.com The first 10 folks that hit me up at michael.raspatello@gmail.com will get a pair of tickets mailed to them. We're excited for you to help us spread the word about this righteous endeavor

hey now- I can relate to broken toes. Whilest on the Europe '90 tour, I broke 2 toes, right off the bat in Stockholm. As the innocent kids sat on the bed, my toes happened to be underneathe while it collapsed......we iced it immediately & I got crutches til we hit Germany...........after 18 years, they're ok now! Good luck on yours & may they mend quickly! xoxox Gypsy Cowgirl
