  I called, nice lady, she is mailing me all the information and said
yes it is a "a high energy caribbean resort, run by dead heads for dead 
heads.

   would you all mind sending me your frequent flyers coupons, I'd be
so very grateful  ;-).

	Well, I got my Albany request punted... 8~{
	
	First time, too.. Oh well, this is not a ticket grovel.  I won't
   be going to the shows.  Almost too much of a pain to get tickets any other
   way.  

	Since I hadn't seen it elsewhere, I'm including the text of the new
   message from the band sent back with the money order.  Out of curiosity,
   did the people who received tickets also get the same message?

============== begin band message ====================

						Spring, 1991

We are sorry to inform you that, due to the large demand, we were unable to 
fill your request for the Knickerbocker Arena shows.  Ticketmaster will begin
selling its portion of the Albany tickets on February 22.  Good luck when 
those tickets go on sale, and please take heed of the following.


A New Message for Dead Heads from Phil Lesh:

Dear Folks:

	Much of this message will probably be familiar, but I'd like to add 
something to our usual list of requests.  Yes, it's still important for Dead 
Heads to cooperate with certain rules -- it's critical that you not come to 
shows without a ticket, and that you not arrive at venues before the parking 
lots open.  It's essential that we don't have business, legal or otherwise, 
going on at shows, and in addition to the no-vending rule, the no-camping rule 
must continue.

	That said, I really want to urge everyone in the scene, all of us, to 
be more mindful -- to be more conscious of the way we're creating our journey 
together.  In heavy times such as these, it seems particularly important to 
act with some grace, so that we don't just survive, but do it with style.

						Very best regards,


						Phil/Grateful Dead

	bring back PASSENGER!!

	"Passenger, don't you hear me?
         Destination seen unclearly."

    
    	"You may be Saturday's child, all alone
    	 and moving with a pinch of grace
    	 you may be a cloud in the varying crowd
    	 or just another pretty face
    
    	 You may meet the fate of Ophelia
    	 sleeping ere per chance to dream
    	 honest to the point of recklessness
    	 self-centered to the extreme"

I wonder if Phil's been reading about Buddhism since he mentioned the
word mindfulness...

john

    You know what, john?  I think the boys are as spiritual in their way
    and in a manner that is very much in keeping with the spirit of 
    Buddhism.

By the way, I had a revelation this weekend while watching the boys on screen;
	I decided that Mickey looks like Spoc.  Does anyone else see this too?

Most definitely!  The closest resemblance I've ever seen!  In fact, if you
watch the New Year's Eve 1987-1988 broadcast, they do a skit before the show
where Mickey is dressed like Spock and I think he does the Vulcan mind meld on
Jerry or something goofy like that.  There was some funny dialogue too, but I
forget what was said.

adam

    
    since forever 

    I dissagree.
    
    :^)

whew! back from a vacation with my whole family and all worn out...now

Charlotte NC and Raleigh NC both have new outdoor "sheds" similar
to Gwoods.   both hold close to 20K people...I'd like to see some 
fall and spring shows there!

     He sure did. Kind of a bright azure colored T-shirt.
    
     - Ger 

    he wore the same one in Chicago. FWIW.
    
    Scott g

    
    Hmmm.  At one point during Giants I thought he had on a blue shirt and
    then I decided it was the lights.  Now I don't know!  I mean ya gotta
    figure he doesn't buy a t-shirt in a quantity less than 5 or 6 hundred
    so there must be a few lying around! ;-)
    
    

    He was wearing a blue shirt both nights in Giants Stadium.  Must be the
    "new look" Jerry.
    
    ... Bob
    

Do these shirts have pockets?

    more importent are they fruit of the loom , BVDs, or Hanes ?

    no pockets....plenty of stains

I was watching the abc/dead thing on tv the other night and Rae says:
"look he has no t-shirt on"  so we looked and sure enough it looked like
a knit sort of shirt WITH a pocket and was a deep blue.  it had wide bands
in it of the same color....

Chris - I think it might have been a JC Penny's shirt :) or maybe it was a
ralph lauren.  

I'd like to meet his tailor,

Yikes ... when I first read this I thought of a topless Jerry ...  8^O

hey rfb, did you hook up with my friend Joe?

    
    	I attended a show in Landover a few years ago, in early September,
    and Jerry and Bob were wearing Hawaiin shirts.
    
    	I have a photo of Jerry in cut off short, when he performed in
    Hawaii.
    
    

    YOU BET JC!!! 
    Met big joe at  the wynkoop...he'd been sitting there looking at Ger
    and bill&jules for a half hour thinking..."I should ask them if they
    know randy" They left and we arrived 20 mins later. had lunch and
    SEVERAL black-n-tans with him ( he drank the whizen), met some more
    heads and decided it was too hot to cruise the parking lot, so we drank
    more! Me, Patty and Joe road to the show and had to park ina Barrio NW
    of Mile HIGH. Patty and  BigJoe decided on the mushroom burgers whilst
    i lent toward to more non-vegitarian fare on a paper plate. Into the
    show where we had to split up cause Bigjoe had no floor seat, but we
    decided to meet at a specific location afterwards.
    
    afterwards.....and man what a time inbetween!!!!
    
    we realized when walking back to the car we had probably parked in a
    bad location. every corner had large gatherings of hispanics..some
    around our car. "hey man, chew gotta a joint?"
    "No, but have acouple of home brews!"  Patty and BigJoe thought we were
    gonna be stabbed. They got in the car and basically hid..
    Me, in my frame of mind, started partying with them and
    "valuing the differances"...soon they were calling me "homeboy" and
    "esse". all was cool until one of the chicks grabbed a beer bottle from
    her boyfriend cause he was flittering with another chick, and slammed
    in into the street, glass going everywhere....that was our queue
    
                          SPLIT!!!!
                          
   no one said anything for 10 mins, then we looked at each other and CRACKED
    UP!!!!! 
   Took Bigjoe home and had a crazy drive back to the Springs!
    
                      Children, don't try this at home!!!

	Speaking of "Yikes" ... one night Dave and I were having a conversation
	about rock stars and sex symbols and thier garb, etc. and Spandax (sp?) 
	came into the discussion when all of a sudden I let out a shriek! at the
	thought of Jerry in Spandax.  :-)  No disrespect to you Mr Garcia .. ;^)

Hey Randy,


THANKS TONS for hooking up w/ and taking care of Joe.  I worry about him
because he has a difficult time seeing straight, especially after eating
a mushroom hamburger!  Sounds like you guys had a *GRATE* time!  I'm gonna
print & send your little review to Joe... I think he'll like it.

BTW, he's headed back to N.E. Aug 1, for good (so he says). 

thanks mon... sure sounds like y'all had a ball!

         Phil Lesh was spotted at the deli counter in a natural food store
    in San Raphael, Ca. on Sunday afternoon.  He got all nervous when
    people started recognizing him.  My brother and his friend were two of
    the recognizers.....
