    fantastic 6-3-17
    Amazing show. Got to the parking lot late (about 6:15), my son had to work in the morning and a friend that was coming was running a little late also, plus I took a wrong turn that cost us about an extra half hour or so. So, unfortunately I missed shakedown completely and a chance to see the Sherriff and Jambo. But all things considered I had a great time. We at least got set up on the lawn (a decent spot) before the band came out so I didn't miss a note of the music. My review: The band was spot on, they just keep getting better and tighter as they continue to play together. Oteil's China Doll was stellar, setlist off the charts. Love me some wheel after space, oh yeah! John channeled Jerry a few times, plus his own style shown through as he shredded the old tunes. Other special moments worthy of mention, Jeff's piano solo on Eyes; Viola Lee Blues and Black Muddy River were really nice.

    speaking of
    flat tires, running out of gas, detours, busted radiators, burns busts bummers and ripoffs, man, you'll be happy to hear that this here dus comes equipped with a magic carpet. I had a nice carpet that was purchased in the lot at Shoreline back in '89, found it handy at Cal Expo that night it rained and flooded out Shakedown, and kept it ever since. We all met up with the Kurtster last year, and Richie and Hikealike added the carpet to ba dus just after the traffic jam at Deer Creek. It's a slick little add-on, and Sarge endorsed too. Said carpet can fix any tire, repair any hoses, fill-up your tank and even comes equipped with a mirror, razor blade and straw, should you ever need to use said implements to re-fill that hard to reach spot on the rear hydraulic system's left manifold transistor flux capacitating rainbow gatherer. Speaking from experience, that's damn hard to do at night in the rain. Klang, grab your handy 50th FTW flashlight and look under the empty Krispy Creame donut box just behind seat 42, there's a latch keyhole that your SYF pin fits in. Turn pin counterclockwise, pop off cover and unroll carpet. Hop on. The rest happens naturally. Who are Dead & Company, and why do they keep following us? Enjoy the ride, all. geo'scarpetbaggingrugbogartingdaysareovermeister

Can't speak for Kris, never met the man......but grew up in Queens, had beers with Joey and their second drummer Marky Bell aka Ramone at CBGB after Tommy left....low maintenance....and chill....did not take themselves seriously at all. In my mind there is no cage match Katniss.... All Gods children sing in the choir, some sing low and some sing higher.... Let's all beat on the brat with a baseball bat with Sunday morning coming down..... I miss Joey, Johnny and Tommy beddie bye Boze time here..... It's a Blitzkrieg Bop....

Even if the pretty b*tch does have me dragging flats of plants in & out the damn garage. I'm patient for July; I love Spring with her lilacs, sugar-magnolias, green-grass perfume and a driveway overflowing with the spoils of one's greenhouse hunts. Life's too short to wish it away.

I was told June 10th or thereabouts by GDTSTOO in early March shortly after the TM debacle...they "wanted people to have tickets in hand by mid June" but it's all assumption until one of us gets them

As Mayor I have only one request from you. Don't wear the hot pants. They didn't go over so well last time. Mr. Haney's ex got just a little bit too excited and the town meeting REALLY got out of hand as a result. We don't want that again, so please...no hot pants. Another election already???? Man time is accelerating at an alarming rate...
