The forecast temp keeps going up. Set up day on Friday can be rough in the heat, but after that it’s gravy. We mostly just go naked with no sunscreen like they did in Venetta in 72.

The year Rude had a boot on his foot up to his knee we got ADA at several shows that were shoulder to shoulder and we had like an acre of dance space in our roped off area.

If you don’t get any other leads on this, Vic, perhaps the venue can accommodate the group with some impacted by ADA needs. This can be achieved not just through those in wheelchairs, but could be vulnerability due to crowds bumping them or easier access due to walking problems. It’s subjective to the venue and PTB, but this can be a relatively low bar to chin if expressed thoughtfully. Certainly sounds appropriate from what you’ve shared. And obviously should not cost any extra. Just an idea. DD

Old School Themed Elective Don't have the full list yet so I'll wait until someone posts it. Judging from the songs I do know, it looks like it would've been right up my alley 🤩 Sorry I missed it but happy for those that didn't 😁

(Waits for list to scan for Promised Land…)

ADA is the shit. The thing I learned is they weren’t allowed to ask why you wanted in ADA. They could only say “this is the ADA section”. At that buckhead theater it was a massive flat area next to SBD in an otherwise sloping venue. I had my boot dance in full effect. That was the only really good ada on the tour. The others were so bad that we GA’d it. I also used the ada at a Deadco show in this sloped area. I asked the lady if this was ada, flat rectangle at the front of the mid pavilion. She said yea. I said thanks and walked in. Slopes suck. Not too proud to take a flat area plus my left foot hurts while dancing on a slope for hours. If others needed it more than me, I’d have moved along but most of the time they are empty.

Looking like it’s gonna dry out and be quite WARM this time around…
