Hi folks,
It is good to be back. Some of you probably didn't notice that I had
left. I have been very busy with my job, and probably haven't read or
written in GRATEFUL for 6 or 8 months.
It seems that GRATEFUL has changed a bit since I last read it. For one
it seems that activity is way done. I remember a time when there
would be something like 20-30 notes a day. Has everyone gotten real
busy? Or have a number of the most prolific noters left the company.
Maybe its just that things change, and GRATEFUL is going through one of
those phases.
I have also noticed that things seem to have gotten a bit more
organized with the rules that are posted in the early notes, with all
of the reserved notes in the low numbers, and with the moderators
purging the ticket plea central note. I remember myself as one of the
proponents of such rules back in the days when GRATEFUL was a lot more
freeform. I'm not sure I like what I was in favor of.
Any comments????
Anyway, as I said, things change, and you just have to roll with them.
It is great to be back. I didn't know how much I missed GRATEFUL,
until I have come back. Hopefully, I won't be away this long again.

your opinion, than nothing.

Mike,
Welcome back! Deer Creek is in Noblesville, Indiana not Deer Creek. I
heard some people went to the real Deer Creek in '89 looking for the
show and were surprised to find that the band wasn't there....

`Deadheads' make wrong turn'
DEER CREEK, Ind. (UPI) _ Diehard fans of the rock group Grateful
Dead follow the band to gigs all over the country, but some of them
apparently got confused on the way to the group's most recent
engagement.
The fans, known as "Deadheads," wanted to see their band play at
Deer Creek Music Center near Indianapolis in July, but about 300 of them
ended up in this Carroll County town of about 200 residents, according
to a report published in the Logansport Pharos-Tribune.
"This was big excitement in this town," said Betty Smith, 49, who
owns the Stop-N-Shop in Deer Creek with her husband, Ossie.
"We're right in the center of town," she said. "I guess they
figured if anyone would know where the concert was, we would."
A few early arrivals wandered through Deer Creek Friday and
Saturday, but most Deadheads descended on the town Saturday, Smith said.
"We've got quite a few senior citizens, 15 families at least, and
they were really getting a kick out of this," Smith said. "We got to
looking at license plates; started asking these kids where they were
from. I don't think anyone was afraid of them; they didn't appear to be.
I asked these kids if they were (Grateful Dead) followers, and they said
they were."
Smith said they redirected the Deadheads about 40 miles southeast,
where they would find the outdoor amphitheater.
Deer Creek town residents didn't have the complaints about drug
abuse and obnoxious behavior that Hamilton County residents had about
the band's fans after the concert.
Smith said the fans came from as far away as Ontario, Canada, and
were between 16 and 25 years old.
"They were all very nice, very respectful to me and my husband,"
she said. "They just couldn't believe they'd made that much of a
mistake."
We are on story 1.
