    I love my son
    I woke up one morning last week because I heard a funny noise. I walked into my kitchen and found my 2.5 year old with the fridge door wide open. He emptied it completely all over the floor, table, and chairs. 12 broken eggs, half gallon of milk, stick of butter rubbed into table and chairs, ect. He even dumped all of the baking soda everywhere. Leftovers, veggies, condiments...Everything opened and poured/squeezed out. A true test of ones patience and love!

    All Star Assignment
    I just received my schedule for the 2008 season. Always exciting to see when you will be in your favorite cities, I then received a call from the League EVP/DBO who said he wanted to tell me that I had been selected to work the plate in the NL All-Star game in Winnipeg 7/8. It is a great feeling to be recoginized and appreciated by MGT. Not a common practice in Corp. America

    I believe a clue as to the inklings of said instance of canis canidae was available vis his general reaction to Badger approaching the CD player. Never trust an ungrateful dog. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    yes,i think youre right.But its not only the net its the wholle vrtual reality created by the media,the moviemakers even advertising.everywhere you see things happening which in reality would kill every bystander.but,modernday technologie doesnt let die nobody so easily.they rush him(with5gunshot wounds,a broken skull and ebola)into the emrgency room.Dr.somehow gives him a good shoot of defibrilator,and the happy sucker is rady to go home.no wonder that many people today think that you can fall down from standing and it will only ruin your haircut.they do not understand that this ruined haircut has to be redone-i,c.of seizures for 30%of the victims-in a funeral home.sad bud true !

    To Frankly about seisures
    The last time I saw someone having a Seisure there were already 3 people helping out, but you would expect that at Earthdance, the time before that was in High School, my friend Tim had them and he was 6' 1" and I am all about 5'4" trying to catch him hurt. Out of our whole group that day I was the only one who tried to break his fall, I had been thru it with him before so I knew what was going on. So it was easy for me to jump in and help.It is a sad time for humanity, comraderie and looking out for your fellow man has fallen by the wayside. I feel it is because of the wonders of the internet. You no longer have to face someone to talk to them, therfore no one understands what is going on in reality, like someone having a seisure, or someone in medical need. You can read all you want but experience is where it is really at.

    Marriage
    Well after one and a half years my boyfriend Steven Miller proposed to me Dec. 8 2007 at a Cubensis show with Kofi Baker Band (if you get the chance to see either band DO IT they are grate!) at the Malibu Inn.Anyway....we went to dinner at the Charthouse right on the beach. Steve kept trying to drag me down to the beach for a walk, we were in the midst of STORM WATCH a few light clouds with scattered sprinkles. So needless to say it was cold and windy I wanted no part of walking on the beach that night. Off to the show we went, little did I know that Steve had the ring in his pocket this whole time. We set up our shirts for the band and had our little corner of the place and all during the show Steve was a little jumpy, finally when it was Cubensis's set he asked me to go outside with him, we get to the door and he freaks out, It RAINED he says. I am clueless so I say well we are on storm watch after all, then we walk out to the truck and get in for our imbibement for the moment. When we are done (still sitting in the truck) he turns to me and says. I have been thinking and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I say you have got to be kidding am I really worth all that. He says yes and I can prove it, reaches into his pocket and extends his hand to me with a jewelry box in it. When he opened it I wanted to cry, but trying to be strong I say you really don't mean that, and he says I sure do what is your answer. I say there is no reason to say no! Yes I will marry you! We have set the date for April 26, 2008!. Thank you for reading this I am still excited about it cause I only want to do this once! Steve is the one for me. We met at a Cubensis and Jerry Garcia Band show at 14 Below in Santa Monica, CA. The rest as they say is history or in my case herstory! Have a Grateful Day everyone.

    scary
    since about 10 years ago i started having epileptic seizures,and having had a lot of them i know how it looks like when somebody else starts..!in fact i was in an office waiting for my turn in a room full of people.beside me was an old man who suddenly startetd turning his eyes and to move strangely.the room was crowded with people but everybody just stared..so i went up to this man because i knew he will fall down.and thet happened within seconds,i just could grab him and lay him down in a secure position.With30 people staring at me.after 15 minutes the ambulance came and to my horror started treating the old guy like a drunkard.i told them he was shaking,had cramps..but no interest,just everybody staring quitely.a few days later i met the officemanager who told me that if i wouldnt have helped this old man and he had fallen down it might have killed him.but since this day i still remember this staring people...why so few humans are willing to help their fellow being in need?

Hi All! I am a patient lady...couldn't find a man worthy to even date. So, I bought my (OUR, I'm married now) '74 VW Bus. I joined a VW camping club. At one gathering, Vince Welnick was present! He was playing keyboards for the band. I chatted him up afterward, had several pics taken with him (this was when cameras had film), and asked for a kiss before I left. I wanted a peck, but he slipped me the tongue! hehehe.... Then again, I was pretty-little-VW-driving DeadHead. hehehehe...I've been married almost 2 years, and the going joke is, "Now that i have the bus, I can get rid of the wife." He's had plenty of chances to kill me: snorkeling, SCUBA, on the back of his Ski-doo... I think DaMan loves his wife. ;-)

Hey - We've been working with Bob Weir over the last few months to create an iPhone app. Today it launched. Bob approached us about making and app featuring a twist on the classic kids songs. He recorded original music for some classic kids songs. His version of Old Mac Donald is wacky and crazy. The best part of this app is that 100% of the proceeds go to his charity The Further Foundation. So, check it out: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weirs-world/id359503370?mt=8 Bob would love to hear what you and your kids think! We've also set-up a Fan page so he can keep updated about Weir's World. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weirs-World/381664192352 Thanks - the folks at Weir's World

Now true, Sam Morse invented the telegraph, so there's some poetic connection there. But Jerry's name is Jerome (after Kern) John Garcia.

Jerry's brother cut off young Jer's middle finger with a hatchet! So it could be worse. They were quite young at the time. It did give Jer something of an iconic handprint.

For all you heads in the academy, and for those of us struggling to follow along, I wanted to share my excitement at a new publication: The Grateful Dead in Concert: Essays on Live Improvisation Jim Tuedio, Stan Spector, eds http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4357-4 My partner, Brent Wood, contributed a beautiful essay entitled "The Eccentric Revolutions of Phil Lesh". It is a great piece of work and feels good to see it in print after hours of conversation, listening and writing. He's already published an essay on Robert Hunter's poetry and psychedelic experience and is currently tackling the subject of Jerry & tragedy. These pieces will hopefully appear as a whole book in future. This book is carefully put together with foreword by Stanley Krippner and contributions by the usual suspects. Great writing, nice organization (tuning, first, 2nd, 3rd sets, encore...) and good ideas! I couldn't be more proud.

Thanks for sharing your ear to ear grin with us Marye....I was fortunate to have shared a few words with Mr. K. after a show at the beautiful Mt. Baker Theatre(where I work as an usher)up here in Bellingham,WA. He was on a tour featuring the 'Blues Guitar' with Robben Ford and Ruthie Foster. They each played solo sets and then traded licks in various combinations. I waited till the crowd got done with him after the show in the hope of asking how best to obtain a copy of 'Electric Hot Tuna....Live at the New Orleans'....Jorma was very kind and such an 'easy talker'.... P.S. It was so good to see and hear him playing with Jack Cassady at 'Furthur Fest' in May....

I was really surprised, having done about 82 gazillion interviews with all kinds of people over the last 30 years, how easy and comfortable he was to talk to. This is one of my faves that I've ever done. One of the things he had to say is that he and Jack got to talking recently and realized they'd been playing for 53 years, and how many people are there that have not only spent their lives on one job, but one job they loved?

Congratultions marye on the Jorma interview. I just saw him (Hot Tuna) at the State Theater in NOVA not long ago (awesome show btw). I don't know him personally but he (and the whole band) exude a very cool and peaceful vibe. Ditto to everyone else TL, O, et al.

I'm proud to be working on a book called "Brand Like A Rock Star" that uses the experiences of rock 'n roll to demonstrate how to build powerful and lasting brands. The book is a collection of expanded postings from the blog www.brandlikearockstar.com. It should be out in mid-2011. Lots of cool bands are discussed, including Jimmy Buffett, AC/DC, The Beatles, and many others. The Grateful Dead are frequently included, and I would love to get feedback and input from the community. Please feel free to share!
