Since the original topic now has hundreds of introductions and is getting a bit hard to navigate, this seems as good a time as any to launch a new one.

The original is here, should you wish to catch up on the who's who since this opened up in May.

If you haven't introduced yourself yet, please do! And if you already have, but have something new to tell us about you and your life, speak up!

(A bit of housekeeping business so we don't have to repost everything we posted before--izzie and I are the moderators here, and for our more extensive intros see the original topic.)

Thanks and welcome!

Paying Hommage

I don't make music, I make art. I paint portraits of musicians on worn vinyl LPs. I've got a gallery on my website, but what I'm excited about is my YouTube videos. I did one of Jerry backed by "Uncle John's Band" and I'm trying to get people to see it and talk about it.

It's short, but sweet, I think. Hope you like.

Hi guys
My name's Dave and I'm from Canada (montreal). I'm actually pretty new to the Dead's music and only started listening to them about a year ago. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and trying to build up a little library of live shows. I'm actually currently working on a project about Deadheads for a musicology class I'm doing and if anyone is interested in doing a short interview with me who's seen the band I'd really appreciate it. thanks

Be happy to help

Hi I'm Don, this is my first post here, and I'm still trying to navigate the site.

I'm from Chicago and saw my first show at the Uptown Theater in '78.

I just moved to Ottawa area about a month ago, and I don't know too many folks here yet.

Dave I saw lots of shows, be happy to answer any questions. Contact me here, and we'll figure it out.

Now I am stirring
And I will lay my love around you...~

Name is Charles. My first post here...decided to join after some time lurking. I'm from Ottawa, Canada as well, so welcome to town Don!

Discovered the Dead in the mid to late 80's, and spent subsequent years seeing as many shows as I could, as well as gathering as many recordings as I could get my hands on.

I'm glad to join the community.

d_bridger, I'd be happy to help as well. I've seen a fair number shows in various locales.

Hello, great to see everyone

Hello, great to see everyone stopping in to introduce themselves...I currently live north of Boston and I went to my first show in 87 or 88, Started on tour in '91 - was on tour for most of 93-94 would love to hear from others who were there :-) I did mostly Easy Coast, but was out in Oakland for some New Years runs. I was Michelle from Boston to many LOL (I often had a small indian drum with me and sold jewlery and did hair wraps, etc...
Went to school for Anthropology, then switched to Massart and combined them into some interesting performance/experiental art. Now I am at SAHM, have some health issues that prevent me from working a FT job, but allow me to be home, so it all works out. Looking forward to getting back into the pottery studio soon, it is one thing that being home with 3 little ones limits...I have a 3 week old, 2yo and 4yo! I love music, reading, forensics and my family. Would love to reconnect w/ old tour buddies, esp Mike Harris of Pensacola Fl and Bay St Louis MS and Jarrod Tanney from Montreal, if y'all are out there somewhere

Hello, I found the new

Hello, I found the new spruced up site..... Nice! My 1st Dead show was Jan 11 1978, my last was Vegas 95. My only regret during that time is that I only saw about 50 shows, mostly the last 3 years. 3rd generation Californian, I live in Ventura, Married an artist, we created a son age 12, I wear a suit for my day job, but I like to play guitar and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. Here's a video of me playing "I need a Miracle", I programmed the drums n Bass the rest is live :)

Just want to hi. We recently saw Bob Weir and we love Rat Dog. The Dead were wonderful and definitely the concerts were very magical.
