    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.

Mr. Mayor , I think it would be way cool to see if the DD could find each other in Ca. Does anyone else feel this way? Long lost brothers and sisters of another Mother meeting for the first time. I know it will be a push but start the bus cause I riding to the last stop

That's a great call, dude, and there are 16 SD'ers attending SC shows. Klang man, you gotta be the chairperson nominee to head the SC M&G Committee. Can I get a second on that please?

Happy weekend to all. Hey spascarella, I would weigh your level of timing-stress against cost of rental car. Whichever provides you with greater peace of mind... go for it. My two pennies.

Agree with Stella- rental so you don't goMental , but if you don't need it for all the days, see if you can drop it off In Santa Clara once you get in town.

...about a meet and greet. I will start checking around the area for a place we can do a beforehand something or other. Most likely informal I would presume. Let me think on it and start looking. Maybe as mayor I can form a sub committee and delegate to get some local (or more local) help. I am 2 1/2 hours away and haven't been to Levi's yet so I'm not too familiar with what's around there. I have been to Great America amusement park many years ago (before there was a Levi's) and it is right next door. There should be someplace close by, plus I have a hotel room 1 mi. away. We'll figure something out. Alright Sheriff, looks like we have another spreadsheet column. - your Mayor this message is officially endorsed by Klangstone Productions. Ltd

YEAH BABY !!! Now, close that bathroom window :-) Thank you, brotha - now the week is officially underway !!!! And the three men I admired most, the father, son & the holy ghost, they caught the last train for the coast... Heard that amazing tune again yesterday - amazing how after not hearing a song for years and years, you remember EVERY word. Incredible music and lyrics put together there regarding "the day the music died." And again, I digress... Happy Monday gang !!!
