Things will pick up with fall tour, just haven't been any domestic shows for a while.

I guess people are busier than ever and/or have so many platforms to discuss things they're passionate about. In the past, the rhythm of this forum could be encapsulated by: "New ones coming as the old ones go" A more apt description now might be: "That's the way it's been in town, ever since they tore the juke box down" It is a ghost-town around these parts now....Sandboxes and playgrounds change, I guess. Life for me has never been more hectic between work, kids, (who are both now taller than their mom + dad), and caring for parents who used to care for me. I just don't have the time to geek out on DSO like I used to. Since 2008/2009, travelling to see shows has dwindled to a trickle and that makes me a bit sad - but life marches on I guess. Thanks to Taper Ron for keeping this place from falling in on itself. What am I saying? I don't know - I just miss ya'll. I hope everyones worlds are spinning in the right direction and I hope to get the chance to see some of you out in the great wide open dancing to the amazing music of DSO. Peace.

Thanks, Tea. That’s my basic thought every morning when I check in to the forums while the coffee is brewing. I try to exercise restraint and not post every thought I have to everyone else’s posts but thoroughly enjoy talking about all things Grateful Dead. Not an easy task for someone who is a known interrupter. Ask my kids. Forums are a Great help with getting to the show and back safely logistics. Details about a venue or city can be the ultimate in help. The Grateful Dead trivia games that get posted occasionally are a great way to survive until the next chance to catch a show. Gotta stay in tune and the forums do that for me.

Going to Christmas Jam 12/10 to see Dinosaur Jr, Phil & Friends, Tyler Childers, Govt Mule, Hiss Golden Messenger...going to be a good time
