Who's in favor of starting a Deadheads group?

[ET Awful]

Come on all, and tell me not only that you're in favor, but how we get it started :)

[SHRED]

1. Yes

[Must_B_Free]

2. I am

[StopTheMorans]

3. dirty hippies

:P

[ET Awful]

5. I'm a CLEAN hippie goddammit

So stop saying that (he says as he rubs himself vigorously with pachoulli oil) :)

[StopTheMorans]

6. *passes out from the smell*

[Metatron]

4. I'm in favor.

[politicaholic]

7. Sorry, I'm so busy I only have time for a 5 minute guitar solo...

6.5 minutes tops.

[ET Awful]

10. SO you're saying you treat guitar solos and sex the same way

You like it quick and over instead of long and exquisite :)

[politicaholic]

17. I said guitar solo, my John Bonham drum solos are more like sex...

tap that ass, then play it like the bongos, then just go crazy.

[ET Awful]

18. LOL, yeah, but I'd rather have long and intricate with precise fingering

than loud and percussive :) If you want a drum solo, listen to Mickey and Billy circa '76 or so when they really sounded like 1 drummer with 8 arms :)

[politicaholic]

40. Sigmond & the Seamonsters had an octopus that played drums...

That cuts out having to pay another member at the end of the night.

[ET Awful]

42. Yeah, but Mickey invented the BEAM :)

If you've never seen it played you should :). . . . weirdest sounding damned thing on the planet :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. obviously I'm there

and if RKZ comes back count on him

[teach1st]

9. I'm in! N/T

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Don't let anyone discourage this - we must have 10 people

I'll vigilantly kick it!

[StopTheMorans]

14. isn't there some sort of three-fifths rule about grateful dead fans?

:evilgrin:

[politicaholic]

19. We need ten so that five of us can OD and we'll still have a band.

[ET Awful]

21. Hmmm, considering that only one member of the Dead ever

OD'd, you're pretty far off.

[politicaholic]

34. Just because they were under control doesn't mean we have to be.

[No Mandate Here.]

Check out my avatar for my answer. EOM

[No Mandate Here.]

48. I have no number. I wonder why I have no number?

on the next post up. Hmmmm. Do I exist?

[ET Awful]

58. Weeeeeeiiiiirrrrd

I don't think I've seen that glitch before :) n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. 5 so far!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. That'll be 6!

[teach1st]

15. I think darkstar is online.. N/T

[ET Awful]

16. It won't just be Dead stuff obviously, any related music, events, bands,

stories, etc. are all going to be welcome. I know there's more out there.

Weir Everywhere :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. We must write a Mission Statement

Who's game?

[ET Awful]

22. Our mission statement is . . .

We exist for the purpose of extolling the virtues of the Dead and their music, along with all topics associated therewith from band member side projects to concert trading to tour experience, etc.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

23. Good start - needs to be sharpened a bit

[ET Awful]

28. Feel free to sharpen to your hearts content.

I'm just the idea man :)

[darkstar]

24. Yep I'm in

How's this for a mission statement (as per Teach1st the other day):

"The faster we go the rounder we get."

[ET Awful]

27. LOL Works for me!

I stumped some people with Quadriplet for Tenderfeet the other day :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

25. I believe we just need 3 more!

[redqueen]

26. Ooh me!

But I'd have to be pried out of this forum to go there. :)

[ET Awful]

29. YAY!

:hug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. As long as you're for it - it can exist

plus you may charm us with your presence from time to time!

:loveya:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. 2 more!

roll up! ROLL UP!!!!

[sugar magnolia]

32. Count me in!

I might even be able to convince my husband to stop lurking over my shoulder and get his own user name.

[ET Awful]

38. Hand him a copy of 10/31/91, tell him to listen to Dark Star

and then come here for more tips on what shows to obtain :) n/t

[darkstar]

65. Hey sugar mag!

How you doing? Welcome to DU and the impending deadhead sub-basement.

Heads all empty and I don't care....

:hi:

[AngryAmish]

33. If it means segregating all of you in one place

so we know who to ban, then I'm all for it.

Boy, I'm mean.

[ET Awful]

35. Not mean, just bigoted, biased and lacking in taste. n/t

[teach1st]

36. We're sitting ducks!

[darkstar]

39. That was, like, totally uncalled for, brother amish lookin' dude

WWJD?

That's J as in "Jerry"

[kodi]

37. in

.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. We're golden - all we need to do is agree on a Mission Statement and

submit it to the Admins

[ET Awful]

43. I'm not good at mission statements. . .

LIke we wanna talk about the Dead and stuff.

Isn't that good enough? :)

[darkstar]

46. And the first matter of business

is we don't need no stinkin setlists!

On edit: As in the band's philosophy, not ETA and other's copius, most welcome knowledge.

[kodi]

71. mission statement? wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world

.

[ronzo]

44. I'll use it too...

Sounds good.

[buddhamama]

45. me

i'm in

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

47. Proposed Mission Statement

This forum is dedicated to the Grateful Dead. All aspects of the band, its members, their solo careers, the songs and the Deadhead scene are fair game. All we ask is respect of the band, the music, and the cultural phenomenon that was and still is the Grateful Dead.

[ET Awful]

50. Works for me.

I'm fine with that.

[darkstar]

53. But we should also include other jam bands too, huh? Like...

The Other Ones, Mickey and the Heartbeats, Rat Dog, JGB, and Missing Man Formation?

[ET Awful]

54. Of course, I believe that we should also include unrelated jam bands

like Stringcheese, moe, Phish, Widespread Panic, etc.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

60. Nope

I think this is a Dead thing

[ET Awful]

63. All the bands he listed are Dead related, i.e. members of the Dead

formed them, are in them, etc. Their audience is deadheads, so I think it's cool :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

66. Ok then

I'm game

[meganmonkey]

49. Count me in!

Hey, we could call the forum 'GD' for short...oh...um...maybe not :P

[ET Awful]

51. LOL, yeah, that might be problematic :)

Hehehehe How about DeadThreads :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

52. OK - I'll send the link to this thread plus the Statement. Thanks ET!!!

And thank you everybody who's onboard!

[China_cat]

55. Would be nice but you can only post to groups if

you donate and I don't have any money.

[ET Awful]

70. Well, you look like a donor to me :) n/t

[stellanoir]

56. I'm in but man. . .

I am more seriously still looking for the dude who stole my jean skirt at Watkins' Glen. There were sightings of it for many years around the country. Was really too strange.

True story. I swear. Yes I was wearing something under the jean skirt. A Victorian slip and a full length danskin. Far more for that matter, than the chicks wear in these days.

Go figure.

[ET Awful]

57. Maybe the same person took your skirt that stole my Birks in

Vegas in '94 :) n/t

[darkstar]

59. I propose that as our true first order of business

we hear more from stellanoir (round of applause for yer name) and her most intersting sounding tale of theft and, perhaps, tragedy narrowly averted.

:hi:

[stellanoir]

69. yeah well I'll never tell

you about how Bob Weir bought me a coke (which I never drink) or when Garcia winked at me. Some things are just too sacred to tell.

Glad you like my pseudonym. . .long story there as well.

[EstimatedProphet]

61. Yes indeed!

Very kind idea!

[darkstar]

64. Yay!

EP in the house!

Long time, no read.

:hi:

[ikojo]

62. I'm in favor of a Deadhead group nt

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

67. ME

I think I was born in the wrong decade.

I just got a record player for christmas.

So I could listen to Dead albums and Beatles albums.

This group is an excellent idea.

[Queen Jane]

68. me too, please!

hello, fellow deadheads. :hi:

[realisticphish]

72. how about a jam band group

so us phish fans can join in too :)

dont worry, im also a deadhead


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

73. YES

YES TO JAM BAND GROUP

PHISH, MOE, STRING CHEESE INCIDENT, GRATEFUL DEAD... I love JAM BANDS.
