    Happy Independence Day to all the lovely Daydreamers everywhere! Glad to have met you all at the Pic a Nic a whole two years ago...and what a fine day it was...the sun was shining and the breeze was blowin', smiling faces all around. I don't think any of us could have imagined that day what a tight band would come out of the remaining crew of Dead members after FTW. I am Grateful Indeed. Here's to many more years of friendship and fun times with fine tunes...

    Wow...two years!!!
    Amazing how the time does fly, huh?? And actually, it's even longer than that given all the pre-FTW planning, logistics, ticket heartburn and spreadsheets we went through. Spreadsheets? OMG, what was I thinking...lol. I could never find the time now to do that over again - seems to be the planets and orbits aligned just right, forming that time vacancy to execute on a plan - and that we did SD'ers!! I have zero intel to confirm this, but I have a really good gut feeling that D&C are not done. I think the music will continue for at least one more tour - who knows, maybe more. Maybe they'll even play in this little state called FLORIDA one day...lol. My only regret, with three consecutive summers of the music, is not taking either of my kids to a show. Many of you have shared the experience with your kids - that is so, so awesome and without question, the #1 item on my bucket-list. Peace, love and HAPPY 4th to all!!

    Happy Anniversary
    It was two years ago today that we all met up in Chicago for the FTW pic a nic, a lot has transpired since then. I would like to wish all th Daydreamers a Happy Independence Day and to once again thank Tony for brainstorming the idea. Without his hard work and vision it never would have been possible. I have made a number of good friends from that experience who have proven invaluable to me. We have toured together, vacationed together and grow together. Thanks to all who have contributed here, made me think, made me laugh and helped me change as a person. You know who you are. Life goes by oh so quickly, let's not waste a minute of it. Carpe Diem... https://youtu.be/_Mnw9uiYggU

    What an amazing, transcendent summer celebration. "Thank You!" to the entire band for getting out there once again and making the magic! And thanks to everyone who was there along the way (or streaming from afar) for sharing the vibe and spreading the kindness with all of us. Maybe another tour after the dust settles? . . . Hope so! Onward! . . . still miss Jerry.

Tony, thanks for keeping an eye out for those ticket deals that can help a fellow SDer! It's much appreciated. I PM'd will74, but no dice. He hasn't gotten any other offers, but cheap obstructed view SC tix are not very appealing, even when you sweeten the deal.

Sorry just got back from inspecting the bus..don't worry about the scratches, and yes ma'am you really know how to off-road...but there nothing wrong with kicking up a little mud every now and then..right? Your fashion sense is impeccable...the fuzzy dice and the doggy whose head goes boing boing boing when you hit a bump really make this bus feel like home...oh yeah, that mean people suck bumper sticker rocks... So Geeky....Bus license reinstated.... Baby you can drive my car ummm bus 8 days a week!!!!! Have a fantastic day! One more thing, Lisa is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho... Here fido, fido? ...bark bark bark!

.... And how does he know I sleep by a Medicine Jar? COSMIC DEBRIS Enter—the transitive nightfall of diamonds. There are crop circles dancing in a wave on Neptune, with corn rows gleaming from the man on Mars. Tail feathers toss toward a flute near Venus. Fly me like a rainbow to the nearest star. Sirius B has nothing for me. Anunnaki women want to dig my scene. Don’t take me seriously; I’m bluffing like a rookie with a pair of queens. Moon Unit lands with a Zappa on Pluto. Yoda on Saturn plays steel guitar. Moses rides in on a doggone quasar. Captain Trips sleeps by a medicine jar. Sirius B has something for me. Hot Nibiru babes try to make my dream. Don’t greet me furiously. I’ll drop you like a comet heading to the east. Exit—the transitive nightfall of diamonds. Frank Zappa

Still no tickets yet. I offered for a Field GA ticket on ebay at $600 and was countered at $650 but that was just before the PPV was announced yesterday so I'm inclined to turn it down at this point.

And I still can't decide if I'm bringing relish or chopped green onions. I saw the GD play Green Onions. I believe it was Rochester. I never saw them play relish, but I think I saw some in Jerry's beard once. May I'll just bring catsup.

RRRRRRGGGGGRRRRRRRRR, you still driving this thingy? Being that we are an environmentally friendly group, I have to assume the bus is powered by clean burning no emissions natural gas. So, I am here to help (yes, I'm still here for all of those shaking their heads!) BTW, it is not nice to shake us too much, we might get dizzy. So since I just hopped back on the bus (y'all)(again), there's no need to stop for gas.... ...I had a gigantic burrito for lunch (and it's not the veggie type). "HEY, SOMEONE CRACK A WINDOW OPEN MAN!"
