Hi Guys
Just to say that myself and Nanook of the North got safely back to Scotland ( Despite the efforts of the taxi driver from hell. who did his best to waste us on the way to JFK.
Thanks to Scotty, Brent, Lana, Randall and everyone else for welcoming us into the family and thanks to The ABB for delivering big time on Saturday night. Rupert and I both agree that our next ABB show has to be soon so we'll see you then

Brent, great Lammie story! Wish I'd been there to hear that one, but I'd probably still be rolling on the floor in some hallway at the Beacon. 😆 :lol2:
So where is Nick's - the sumo burger located?
Random stream of memories are bouncing through my mind today. An out loud laugher for me was a Lammie memory:
Lamdog had just powered through the most epic version of "Will the Circle be Unbroken" with Oteil on bass in our hotel room and he looks at Oteil and says, "You're pretty good, but unfortunately we already have a bass player."
Sorry if I am repeating...there is so much good news here today!!
Check out the wonderful photos that Josh took of the band...

There are some outstanding shots...and I recognize some of our fine family seated and standing behind Gregg.....:)
Hey everybody,
I lurk all over the net and have done so with the occasional comment 'round here for awhile. I came across this at the philzone, and knowing the positive energy of this "bunch", thought you'd be interested:
This was posted today Monday 22
A message from Phil-
The Grateful Dead have always relied on many people to produce the music that is the foundation for a magical community. Some of the people that make this journey possible are: the road crew, the office gang, management, and of course the Deadheads. But the unsung heroines are the real backbone of the Grateful Dead: the women who love us, feed us, raise our children, tend our gardens; who take care of business so we, the band and crew, can do our work with our minds and hearts filled with their unwavering love.
The wife who has been with us the longest and who has been a loving inspiration to the women who followed her is Frances Shurtliff- Ramrod’s wife, Rudson’s mother. Frances has had many challenges in her life and has met them with strength, grace and great good humor. She is truly an inspiration to all of us, from the oldest (me) to all of the kids; from Justin and Taro all the way down to little Chloe. My kids still call her Mrs Thumblebee because they have fond memories of a game she played with them many years ago.
Frances suffered a heart attack on Friday. She is holding her own, but could use love, light and prayers to help her come back to us. She is truly a light in this world that we need with us, so I am asking you to give {{{{{Five minutes for Frances}}}}}. We will all be praying, lighting candles, thinking good thoughts for Frances at 4 pst, 7 est tomorrow (tuesday).
On behalf of the Grateful Dead family that loves Frances so very much, we thank you.

Another unbelievable weekend at the Beacon theater. As good as the last couple of years have been, the boys have once again raised the bar. Second set on Friday may have been the finest musical experience I've ever witnessed. Why Does Love/Franklin's Tower was something I will never forget. I just want to thank the band for making the greatest music on earth, and making it better and better every year. Hopefully we'll be talking about it again in March of 2005.
Darn, didn't win anything from the raffle, but more than happy to participate. Next Year!
I saw nrbq at Fitzeralds in Berwyn on Saturday. The Spam boys were on along the crazy keyboard dude (Anderson?).
How about those FIGHTING ILLINI & UAB?

Um.......................................Nevermind.
