Married to Beth for 15 years

Married to Beth for 15 years next month. Not that much of a Deadhead, but she had a suitably weird time at her first show back in '88 insides the dripping confines of the Rosemont Horizon. We're down to just one fur-child now, Lilly the rescued Berner, after we lost Auggie West at Christmas last year.
Transplant!

Hey!
I'm an East Coaster transplanted to the Seattle area. Me and my wonderfully amazing wife have been together around 15 years. She isn't a Head so to speak but she went to shows and I went to shows "back in the day" but we never went to one together, exactly. She was, however, at that DC show that View from the Vault II was made of. (I would be jealous if I hadn't attended some really wild shows).
Anyhoo, we have a 4 year old boy whose favorite song is "Monkey and the Engineer." I, of course, have been playing guitar and singing that song to him his entire life, including in the womb. He now sings it. In fact, every night at the dinner table, we sing it together. The chorus is so much fun! I sing, "Big locomotive..." and he sings, "...RIGHT ON TIME!" (he yells everything.)
The rest of the fam is back in NJ where they belong. This 3000 mile buffer zone sure helps with the genetic harmony!
Great to see those of you here who also were on the old incarnation of the forums. More good times to come, for sure. It'll be neat to see how many of you I attended shows "with" without even knowing you. Funny how this GD thing will never die, huh?

What he's not telling you is that his twins, Abigail and Elliot, are the cutest danged kids ever. And I'm a mom saying that about someone else's kids!

Married by the State
On June 10th, 2007 00 said:
Well I never thought it would happen, but I have been married for about 3 years now with a 1.5 year old daughter who was actually born on Christmas morning! We had a big dinner on Christmas Eve and had friends over and in turn drank a lot of wine etc. My wife went into labor about 4 am as I had my Dead DVD up very loud. I actually drove to the hospital with one hand over one eye and my blinkers on while beeping the horn! This is actually normal in China and even after drinking a 12 pack one can still drive better than the locals! Ha ha.
Anyway, we live in Century Park in Pudong Shanghai, China and actually had part one of our marriage in a government building under a giant emblem of the Communist Party. Part two of our marriage was actually at the Shangri la Hotel in Shanghai. Since my wife does not belong to any religion (formally) we did not get married in the Church. This is China of course and religions are officially not allowed in a communist state. Its strange to even use the word communism when speaking of China these days as in some aspects the market is even more wide open than the States. (This could be a good thing and a bad thing depending on what part of the economy you are actually analyzing).
My wife is Chinese and lived in England during her masters’ degree at the University of Liverpool. She never heard of the Grateful Dead before and when we first met I used to listen to the music in the car etc. and asked her what she thought the band looked like etc. She thought they were a thrash band who wore make up and shit like that. Since I have bought some GD DVD's (here in China on the black market) she was surprised to see who they are. My Chinese mother in law calls Jerry the old teddy bear! Really. They actually like the music and my daughter actually spins when I play the Dead. Adriana Maria is my daughters name and when I am playing GD or Phish she really pays close attention and really gets it. When she was very little a few months or so we used to pay Symphony and Classical Jazz for her all the time.
Anyway that that we are and it is nice to hear all the good stories out there. If any of you decide on a visit to China let me know.
Single and Happy.......
