 I think it’s wild that a group of people like
to be identified so much that we put stickers all over our cars. Dancing
bears, skeletons and Steal Your Faces going down the road on all types
of vehicles all over the world. It’s always great to have meone
wave or beep at you because of your stickers. |
The carpeted hallways at the Providence Civic Center
are a barefoot Deadheads dream! My first Brent show was there and best
of all, it was the night I met the love of my life. We’ve been
together ever since. I’ve heard of high school sweethearts but
we’re Deadhead sweethearts and I wouldn’t want it any other
way. |

| The best thing about tour was that I always had an
easy time figuring out what I would do with all my vacation time! By
following the Grateful Dead I have seen places and done things all over
the world that I might not ever had if it wasn’t for the Dead. |
Dogs! There were always great dogs everywhere. Big
ones, little ones, scruffy ones but all really happy and loved. Where
I live I can’t have a dog so I always got my dog fix in with my
Grateful Dead shows, I loved it. |

| One of my favorite things to in the world was to
eat after dancing for hours at a Dead show. There was always a great
selection of “tour” food. You could always find the best veggie burritos or “kind”pasta. Grilled cheese and stir fry were always around, it was great food cheap. |
One of the coolest things was when the Chinese Acrobats
opened for the Dead at the Chinese New Year show in Oakland. They can
do some mind blowing things I didn’t think possible. Diving through
flaming hoops of knives, contortionists fitting in places they shouldn’t,
it was wild. |

| As an icon for several generations and folk hero
to many, Jerry Garcia & the Grateful Dead have influenced more people
from more walks of life than any other musical group ever. Bringing
their free form jams and San Francisco sound to countless cities around
the globe for over thirty years, Jerry and The Dead became the most
successful touring band in Rock history. Through his art, words and
music, Jerry has inspired happiness, free thinking, and a lifestyle
that has been adopted by people around the world. |
I know lots of people have said this but it really
happened to me! I was in the first row at a show in Las Vegas when the
band played Stella Blue and Jerry sang the entire song right to me.
He winked and smiled at me, I couldn’t believe it. I never got
to meet Jerry but that was even better. |

||
| One thing that I always looked forward to at Dead
shows were the drum circles. Lots of people all playing at once
creating one groove, the energy was always intense. I think I danced
during drum circles as much as the show itself. |
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen at
a dead show was a wedding. It was a whole ceremony with a tie dyed tux
and wedding dress. A large group of people gathered around and there
were flowers, dancing and lots of love. It was one of the most beautiful
weddings ever. |

| My favorite thing about being on tour was that even
someone you had never met before would rather say hi, flash you a great
big smile or even give you a hug than just walk past you staring at
their shoes. I wish it was always like that. |
