    bear,
    bear, I reckon, if memory serves, you were in on the chat where we started talking about fishnets and garter belts, and how iknowUrider thought them sexy... she has told me, a while back, her place with her husband; they call it the 'love shack' a bit of an inside joke there. peace.

    and then
    the airlines usually respond and give 'something' even to semi-legit complaints like that one with the phone being dis-connected. there is a lot of competition in the air these days. and there are other choices. we do fly A LOT, so they also tend to 'respond' to steady custom, especially when worded so sweetly lke in my letter. ( -; and then there was the time I bitched, nicely in a letter, to NW about the fact there was no pillows, and got 10,500 miles, the time a reservation agent laughed at me, (well, she chuckled...) and I got 10,000 miles... I was pointing out a problem with a reservation. in a totally serious tone of voice, and she just chuckled. 'you think I'm funny? what am I? a clown? here to amuse you??!!' Pesci in Goodfellas I AM one of those guys who just tries to ek out as many miles as possible at every occassion. I even take convuluted, extremely time consuming routes because it adds up to more miles at the same fare. peace.

    squeeky wheel
    I grew up in the back room of a saloon, learning that 'the customer was ALWAYS right' this is a case of how I got 5,000 bonus miles just for sending an email to explain what happened when I was trying to buy a tix online... being the squeeky wheel, so to speak. I refrained from using cuss words, and had my old lady edit up my shakey grammer and spelling... ( -; Message: To Thai Air: I would like to explain what happened when I spoke with reservation agents on the telephone yesterday. Online, I was trying to book an e-ticket, and I had an e-cert certificate that I was trying to use. I was unsure of the procedure, and called to inquire about it. I had searched for a flight and a price, but even after I had put in my e-cert number, and even after an E-Coupon icon appeared, the price remained the same. I did not want to click Purchase this Ticket before I saw the changed fare. I asked why the price had not been discounted. She asked if the ticket price was over 100 US$, and yes it is because this is a long flight. I was placed on hold (there is a timer on my cordless phone, so I am quite sure about the times) for 8 minutes. When the reservation agent returned, she told me she did not know, and I should use the information portion of the website to ask my question. I told her I wanted to book the ticket as soon as possible to get the best fare, because sometimes discount fares become sold-out, or lower priced seats suddenly become sold out. She told me she could not answer any more questions and my only option was to use the site. I tried to read through the FAQs, and so on, but could not get an answer to my question. I wanted to book the ticket before any discount fares were suddenly sold out. I called Thai air's ticket line again. I explained again. This time, the reservation operator asked for my schedule and flight numbers, etc. I was placed on hold for 9 minutes, when suddenly the phone line went dead. I immediately called back but getting a different person on the line, I asked to speak with the person I had just spoken to. I told her this was a flight ticket, and again gave all of the flight numbers. I was agian placed on hold, and after 13 minutes the phone line went dead again. I called again, and again, I told her how I had been on hold before and cut off twice, this time, she had the common sense to ask my telephone number in case we were cut off again. But, I had to explain everything again, and I finally learned that I am unable to use the e-coupon. I clicked on purchase this ticket, but the session had timed out, and I had to go back and re-enter all of the information again. Needless to say, it was a very long and frustrating experience trying to book this ticket, a major bummer, and a total buzz negator. Is there a problem with the phone lines? Essentially, it took me more than 90 minutes to finally book my ticket. The time to call, the time to explain, the time to wait on hold, and the time to enter all of my information again. It was all rather vexing. Sincerely, CC Joe Dear Mr. CC Sawat Di Ka. Thank you for contacting nwa.com Customer Service regarding the difficulty you had booking a reservation online with an e-certificate. We appreciate the time you took to write and tell us about your experience. On be half of Thai Air I apologize for the amount of time it took to get an answer to your question from our agents. I can understand how frustrating it would be to desire assistance and each time be disconnected. As our customer, you are in the best position to point out areas that need attention. Our goal is to provide consistent and accurate information to our passengers at all times. I am sorry that in this instance you did not receive the service you expected and should have received when you called the Customer Service to inquire about the use of the e-certificate. Feedback like yours will help us improve our process and overall customer experience. Please know I will be sharing your comments with the responsible leadership team for internal follow up. Please know we greatly appreciate your business as a Platinum Royal Thai Air Silk member. As a tangible expression of our appreciation and as an apology for the poor service you received I have added 5,000 Bonus Miles to your account. Please allow 2-3 business days to see these bonus miles added to your account. Again thank you for taking the time to write us about your experience and I am confident given the opportunity to serve you in the future, Thai Air will not only meet but exceed your expectations.

I tend to say some off the wall things, as you've all gathered I'm sure ,but..... Do ya'll ever feel like you belt out a GD lyric, or line daily ?? It just comes to mind so often for me & I think : Man some folks in the Dead family would sure know where I was coming from. Even if it's cheezy nonsense. It's mainly The Dead & Arlo for me, when I said " TYPICAL CASE OF AMERICAN CASE OF BLIND JUSTICE" to my ( then) new boss at the Courthouse, I felt like an idiot, but I HAD to say it :) PEACE

I was in a meeting last week at work, and someone said the phrase "no scour, no dry" a couple of times in a row. I'm not sure exactly what possessed me, but I started singing "No scour no dry" to the tune of "No Woman No Cry"....subvocally, I thought, but I guess maybe louder than I thought. My boss looked at me for a second and said, "Bob Marley, right?" We all had a good laugh...and I was impressed that I was singing well enough for someone, anyone to recognize the melody.

My Mom used to have this saying..."Sing at the dinner table, cry before bedtime." I never really knew if this was a subtle first shot at getting me or my siblings to shut up (or face the consequences!), or if it really was some kind of superstitious goobledygook. It was her fault that we all sang in the first place. She was always singing to the radio, singing without the radio, and we were always singing along with her. I couldn't sing worth a lick after my voice changed, but it doesn't stop me to this day. I love to sing! Anybody else ever hear of this? How about our Canadian friends? Mom came from the far northern reaches of Maine, near the border, grew up speaking French. Some strange translation? Or was she really a lot more sly than I've given her credit for?

That my Mom was paraphrasing Robert Hunter? Or that his Mom gave him the same crap as mine? (Probably the latter, as my Mom was doing the singing/crying thing in the early 60s).

For the link to the Jerry/Elvis article. I remember seeing that issue of Musician on a newstand, Jerry and Elvis staring right at me. As a big Costello fan, I was floored by the two of those guys together, and it was the only copy of Musician that I ever bought. Rereading the article, it's amazing what kind of real natural co-interviewing that's going on between the two....the "Musician" interviewer barely got a word in. Makes me really, really wish that Jerry was still around to be on Elvis' "Spectacle" show. It would have been a classic.

It might be neat if The Dead would wear little video cameras on their heads in concert. It would be neat to look up at the big screens and see what they're seeing sometimes. It would also be cool on DVD. Nothin left to do but smile, smile, smile

the scene is bleak. everyone's dopesick and neglected. normally i would go anyway. but this year, given the ridiculous ticket prices and the general hopelessness on lot, my daughter and i are going to disney world instead. thanks boys for finally making me grow up and see how it really is just about money. this time ill use that money to make positive lasting memories instead of fattening the boys wallets in these tough economic times. cant try and save my kidz cause its like quicksand. ALL FOR NAUGHT. The message got mixed up in this newest generation of wannabe-lot gangster kids from white upper class suburbs touring on daddy's credit card. Enjoy the money you make from them, can't blame you for takin the custies for all their worth. But what about the family? The families that travel and live and love together? Throw them in with the uber-custies and you come up with a helluva lot o addiction/custody problems. Was this the purpose of the creation of the Grateful Dead? Its not fun anymore. Hasn't been since Jerry died. And you can take that to the bank. Signed, One of a growing number of disillusioned/non-participating former fanz of the grateful dead experience AND environment--you are losing your base boys

I heard a rumour that the Dead will trot out "It's a Small World After All" and play that somewhere during the tour. A guy who works on their soundcrew told me it's being rehearsed. Apparently, Weir can't this tune out of his head after going to Disneyland recently. This is Weir's home movie from that ride in Disneyland: (rare footage) you kind of have to watch the whole thing, but Bobby points the camera back at himself about 3 times during it, just a glimpse of him 'going to hell in a bucket but at least he's enjoying the ride' you can hear his distinctive laugh a few times and his resonant voice. I think he says, though it is a bit garbled, 'hey you know, it really is a small world after all...' ( -; now thatyou have seen it, I reckon'you can't get that tune out of your head either. yuk yuk yuk. ok, let's put it back on track here: 100$ ??? I mean, after all, how long is a Dead concert gonna be? Shit, those free shows on 3/30 were a total rip-off, they only played like an hour at the first two places. and what, like 90 minutes or so at Roseland... What are the Dead, in colusion with the subway company? forcing some people to have to ride from place to place to see all of the shows. I think it was all an Opec conspiracy during the late 70's, a few thousand deadheads on the road, DRIVING from place to place... think about it. seriously. I think the Dead should have had a Tour Pass ticket, all shows, all venues, for $500. INCLUDING free gas coupons, enough to drive a big ass diesel tie-die bus from place to place AND all the veggie burritos you can eat at every show. (bathroom use will not be free, however, and it will be 2$ per tinkle, and 5$ per dump) you know, people might think 100$ is a really 'high' price for a Dead show, no discounts available!! well, that is not entirely true, didn't some of the venues offer cheaper seats behind the stage? but, in reality, whatare we talking about? MAYBE 2 or 3 hours of music. do we count drumz/space as music, I don't think so.... now, on the other hand, a whole day and night of entertainment at Disney can be had for these prices: Disneyland Tickets - Prices List prices for Disneyland tickets listed below are valid as of January 1, 2009, according to the Disneyland web site. One Day, Single Park Admission to one park only These Disneyland tickets are available at the resort ticket booth or by calling 714-781-4400. Not available online. Children $59.00, Adults $69.00 You can also buy this ticket through CalActive with transportation included, but be aware that it's far from the cheapest way to get to the park, costing over $30 per person more than tickets alone and with a restrictive schedule that would not allow you to stay for the fireworks or evening parades. One Day Park Hopper You can visit both parks on the same day. Children $84.00, Adults $94.00 No advance purchase discount. Order online through Disney only. CHILDREN UNDER 3 are FREE!!!!!!! but, children over the age of 10 are priced as adults... but there are, in fact ways to save money buying your tix to Disneyland!! Go on your birthday, Disney is free for you!! Off season, even cheaper! ah, to each her/his own. ( -; no offense intended to anyone, just joking around. please find your joy in any way you can. serious disney discounts available on disny's website, you can get in for as little as 41$ per day if you buy a 5 day pass or something like that.. major Dead tix discounts to many of the old shows the Grateful Dead played are here, but you can't actually 'see'them play: archive. org now THAT site is a value for your money! ( -; yuk yuk yuk. peace.

My wife just called and in her best shaky, shaky voice told me that she was feeling extremely ill. We're supposed to be driving from NC to Maine very early Friday morning, so I was sitting there thinking, oh man!, when she let out the "April Fools!" on me. She's a very wicked woman.

Back in 94, I can remember thinking to myself, man this is so cool!! Then I thought to myself, how can I wrap this moment up and take it home with me for everyone to see? Or rather, how can I meet cool people like everyone thats dancin and smilin around me? Tryin to explain it to nondead heads and others was virtually impossible. Well, the answer to my question is here on dead.net. It's hard to find kind good hearted souls in the world these daze. But I found a buttload here on dead.net, So how do you bottle up the show and take a piece of it with you? The answer is DEAD.NET!! Thank you all and thank you dead members! Peace- Moye
