    And now I see,,,
    That this Road Trips 2011 Subscription discussion has its own place over at www.dead.net/forum/road-trips-2011-subscription-discussion-topic. Doh!

    More than ten bucks cheaper
    The price of a subscription with standard international shipping is now $143.50, whereas it was originally $275 ($95 for the discs + $180 shipping). Originally it was cheaper with Rush shipping, but as that was by UPS then extra charges galore would have to be added due to their policy of presenting packages to customs and charging extra on your doorstep for doing that, on top op the customs charges. I estimated that the Rush option would also end up costing around $275 in total. For the standard shipping they have knocked around $130 off the cost of shipping four packages, i.e. around $32 less per package (more than the cost of the RT itself). As regards release dates, it states that the shipping dates will be February, May, August & November. To align the series with the calender year it seems that there will be a RT 4.5 in November - in previous years No.1 of a new series has been released around November. Will the price of individual RT's be higher as individual purchases as and when they are released? Who knows, but they will all be 3 CD sets so it is quite possible. If so, the subscription becomes even more attractive (except that you have to pay the whole cost up front). I am also a grumpy old pessimist, but Marye helps to keep my pessismism in check, bless her. I think the basic rule of thumb is that people are good and corporations are bad - until proven otherwise. Bah, humbug.

    The Big Remaining Question is...
    ...if and how much the price of the individual releases will be jacked up, if subscription sales turn out to be disappointing. I don't know when the first RT in the batch will go up, or if they'll have a preorder for the individual release. The subscription offer ends Jan. 31 and the first release could be a few weeks after that. I'm such a pessimist. I do have an offer to join a "subscription collective" with a few other folks. A couple of them are completist fiends and would cry if they miss the Blessed Holy Bonus Disc - but they can't afford the subscription so they plan to chip in together.

    Yeah, I noticed the price change...
    ...looks like they knocked off about ten bucks per release on the shipping, if I remember correctly what one of the Euroheads had posted for the previous total w/shipping. I would've commented on it but the Thirty Days posts QUICKLY disappeared and there is no commenting on the RT subscription page.

    A bit off topic, perhaps...
    But I don't really know where else to post it. During the magnificent 30 Days, the announcement of the Road Trips subscription appeared and it was quickly spotted by myself and others that if you happened to live outside the US, you would have to mortgage your house to pay the shipping charges. The ever vigilant Marye said that she would look into it (and what she says, she does, bless her). Now I notice that the shipping costs have been amended. Now the subscription costs $95.50 for the US and Canada and $143.50 for the rest of the known universe. Bearing in mind the usual shipping costs for an international Road Trips order, this seems pretty good to me - not cheaper, but also not more expensive than placing four orders in a year. Of course, there is also the bonus disc thing as incentive. The subscription is now the sensible option for me here in Europe. Many thanks to Marye (because I am pretty sure this is largely down to her) and also thanks to Rhino who had the good sense to listen (and to realise that they would not sell any subscriptions outside the US). Now, bring 'em on!

    What a great day! I came home to find a 16 GB flash drive filled with goodies from a guy I met through the 30 Days promotion. After dinner, as I sat down to copy the files and reload it with stuff to send back, the doorbell rang (literally two minutes after I sat down). It was the UPS guy bringing me my prize for being the third weekly winner! I chose the vinyl Warner Bros. box set and it is sweet! I can't wait to listen to it!"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" Thanks again for the contest! Happy Holidays to all, rg

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.

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

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.

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
