Should’ve!!! - In 1993, the Grateful Dead played Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY.

Happy anniversary. and happy birthday. I missed my birthday show twice despite best efforts to go, in '72 and again in '76 (when they did the Dew as the friggin' encore, much to my dismay!). was finally going to get one fall '95 at my hometown Spectrum. damn.

I went to the Ventura Fairgrounds when they played on my birthday (12th)! After the show my friends the Purpl Turtlz played on a flat bed truck, and my other friends had an ice cream cake that I had to be led to because it was a surprize and they sprayed me with silly string!! The we watched cartoons on the screen in the horse corral eating ice cream cake....I also remember the Red Rocks Shows that they played on my b-day....oh what fun we had. Met some of my bestest friends there. Nothing like a Dead show on your birthday, camping out and hanging with good people. Ahhhhhhh. Life's too short to be blue...
