    hello
    name is mike but you can call me quinney McHappypants. actually i am not worried about what you call me. i am of the younger crowd, which unfortunately for me means that i never got to see the actual grateful dead, with jerry in tow. but i have been a fan forever. my mom's little sister, my aunt was and is a huge dead head, and she made sure that i got all the dead i could handle at a young age, and well it paid off. i have seen ratdog, and phil, the dead as they were called for a few, and been to a number of dark star shows, but alass, it isn't the same. i trade shows w/ a few people who live around me, and have a decent sized collection, and as we speak i am listening to a new show i just got, 5/1/70, and loveing it. i travel with work, and travel to see shows. i live in north east pa, but love to boogey on down to philly as much as possible. i just turned 21 actually on the 27th of august. when it comes to my favorites well eyes of the world takes the cake for me with china cat > rider comes in at a close 2nd. after that it's all gravey. then there is the great keyboarder debate, and i wont choose. i love love love pig and really dug the keith years, he and jerry could really fly, and brent well brent was just soooo damn soulful how could you not love him. really wish i coulda seen jer tho, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, i've seen some great stuff and dreamt about the rest. hope to have many great conversations with all you fine folk rockin your socks since 1986

    Hey
    Hey everyone I'm Nate from York, PA. I got turned on by the Dead in early 2005 and it has been in my blood ever since. Music has always been my passion and I can't believe It took me so long to find them. Obviously I've never been to any Grateful Dead shows, unfortunately, but I have been listening to everything I can get my hands on. I have had the pleasure of seeing Ratdog twice and plan to see many more as well as Phil and Friends and any of the other ones that come my way. I am honored to be among all of you friends and like minded people. So greetings and thanks for this awesome website. Talk to you later, Nate

    Hi everyone im seattlep
    Hi, I am a fairly new Deadhead. I was born and raised in the beautiful northwest. To make a long story short- I got into the Dead right before I went to Iraq. After I got back a few years ago I've been finding peace in the Dead, my wife and son. I guess its all part of a healing process. My mom and dad were Deadheads and I never really saw how great the band was until i got older. You could say the door didn't "open" for me until I needed it. Positive Vibes to Everyone Patrick

Hey! I am Bamski from Brooklyn and I got on the bus in college and hit my first show in Pittsburg on 6-26-88 and hit about 30 shows along the way. Between the handful of DVDs and nearly 1000 digital songs, just about everyday is a different Dead show. Nothing like coming home from a long day at work and putting on some Dead and relaxing.

Hi there. My name is Evan and I am from very nothern new york near Canada but am attending college in Buffalo. Just wanted to make a shout in the hopes of becoming part of this awesome community. Unfortunately, because I was born in '87 I was never able to see the Dead. However I love them. The first time I ever heard any real Dead (beside like Truckin' or something) was in a car coming back from a golf game. My cousin's boyfriend Jason popped in Dick's Picks 17 and turned it to Franklin's Tower. I don't know whether is was Hornsby's piano or Jerry's guitar but I was blown away. I have been a hardcore fan ever since. The closest I have come since to seeing the Dead is seeing Ratdog at the FLPC center in Geneva. Shout out to anyone who was there. Take care all!
