GoingBackTo Where....

in 24 hours will know if taking the western trail back to where I belong. PC is good elevation so not worried about any heat wave even if one is. Its a dry heat at perfect elevation for a good dance party. Be good if Scotty played some tunes post show. If going, hopefull to hit Escalante Staircase. Will find place to stay tomo if I get the green light which looks pretty good to date!!!! And yes, Weir and Barlow are correct---the Mormon girls are great---least when I was fit and not balding!!!

My old stomping grounds for at least 8 years. Can't belive I missed DSO in Salt Lake...to busy being a wanna be scholar. Would love to get these shows. See some old college bros. Teach em how to dance well...to let loose. I find the area to be very into themselves. Awesome for the self absorbed....I fit in well....least used to. Praise those who get these shows. PC is a awesome place. With the mass migration out of California and little Hollywood with the new tech valley, the billionaires now pushing out the millionares.....regentrified. so jealous of you heads that can afford and have the mobility to tour. I want the music now so much more than ever. Spent 3 hours at a trampoline park with kids yesterday. My legs are strong, but spine compressed. Wonder if they may play SLC? That would be awesome!!!!

We talked about that show this last weekend. I was blue. Hypothermic for sure. Ron nearly died and has never been to a show since. That was Virginia State officials at their finest. Another one of our fine companions was taking to jail with no charges. I think that was the last year of that Pocahontas. That place was my first show in May of 2012. I hopped on the bus and wow, what a long strange trip its been since. I have lost weight since Fredericks last year Rude. I would of been fine then, but at that time, I was no body fat. That rain literally knocked me out. I was blue. I stripped down and crawled in my sleeping bag cause we gave bunks to elders and women---right? Was Meli with us? I know Rebecca was there. Cosmic--Mike--you--I--Rebecca--T(?). Please fill in. I do compliment your memory. You are a bit more quicker than I, especially when I was blue and close to collapse. That walk was horrid. I cant believe they did that to us. They could of drove us right to the campgrounds--instead,,,they dropped us off at the entrance to the park. Were you not staying with us that weekend Rude? We had a cabin. We had a cabin the next year with a AC. I remember AMY had a cabin, but you for sure was staying in our Cabin. No? Follow up... I have started a journal to document the past decade and the decade to come. Tired of forgetting all the fun!!!

Chuck thinks therefore I am..........To be understood is to exist------Validation comes so easy with our community. YOU GET IT!!!!

I was way to thrown back by the weekend to complete a review last night. There is something in this music and watching those who love it in real time that makes one speechless. Trying to find words for feelings that run so deep is at times complicated. We all have individual constructs of what we see and feel as beautiful. Yet, as humans, we are able to share, relate, and understand the overlaps of our individual constructs. Its amazing when the overlap occurs in close proximity. The energy feeds, fuels, and opens up our minds to the thoughts and feelings of others with out speaking them. To communicate with out words is the most intimate of anything shared between people. Its something that I do not yet have the words to fully describe. I can only describe it as breathtakingly beautiful. It literally changes the way I see the world--both the macro and micro. May not be ready, but definitely encouraged to write the first book on Quantum Mechanics and Dancing Heads. Entanglement occurs for us as much as it occurs for the spin of a paired particle. I need more shows to research this phenom------Can anyone say tax write offs for research!!!!!! The last night In SC was more than one could ever ask. There were so many highlights. The people I got to dance with are some of the people I love most in this world. The music is the "Flavor" that brought us all together. The set list says it all. There were some things I never heard before. PG dead on----no bumps or no thumps before BIODTL. Rob just started singing. How fun getting one of the favorites with a change....it threw me off for a second. FOTD was fast--more western---and a delight!!! It hurts me too----thanks Rob----we felt it----its confusing for the mind to feel the pain yet be happy dancing to it. Who can honestly say the music does not make you grow as a individual. Learn about your feelings and how to manage the internal conflicts. Yes----its more then dancing to quality sounds. Its a reflective process that forces us to grow in front of everyone--In real time!!! China/Rider-----YAY!!!!! St. Stephen---always a highlight. Huge highlight of the night. Thank you DSO for hitting it hard!! Felt like I was dancing on air. Nothing no longer grounded my body---a arrow straight and narrow hitting every sweet beat. GDTRFB------Always played well. Tonight no different. But---to share it with people I love, again--special beyond words. Love light----I am unable to comment and share----I can say DSO did its job and put smiles, thoughts, dreams into hopes and wishes. Never underestimate the power of hope----Hope has moved mountains, cured diseases, and transformed lives. So nice to be able to share a brief glimpse of how a single show can have such big impacts on a individual life----because its so much more than music!!!---It is with out a doubt a rare and different tune. Thank you guys---thank you Lisa-----thank you for all those who I shared the weekend with. Now keeping a journal -- I never want to forget the joy you all bring!!!

I have never been so embarrassed for ignorance in my life. As a younger man, I might have had a talk with these guys. Wisdom comes with age----so I threw my self reflection vibe there way. It will take about a week. That redneck will be on forums with in a year begging for a WRS like they produced this night. It came out of a space that was so much fun. Skip was awesome during the night. So excited. So much chatter, but when he got involved in the drums during drum space transition, we knew from his facial expressions that they too are like us----kids in big bodies with talent!!!! Following up on PG's comment-----Strange Man was amazing. Lisa's vocals were so powerful I found myself no longer dancing but moving through a dense medium of vibrations that filled every molecule of air. Quantum mechanics pushed all that vibrational energy into our souls. To have all your cells vibrate with Lisa's powerful sounds is at the very least----spiritual. We are so lucky---

The night was super fun and jaw dropping. The weather report was so beautifully constructed, developed, and executed. We are all so lucky to have access this. More dance space than anyone could ask for. The company shared was top notch. Heart bending. The weather was perfect for the heat. The light rain fell on hot sweaty bodies just enough to keep the hot trot dancing cool. Why can't this happen every day?

See you soon Mike. Funny, you rooming up with strangers. Has not got you or T killed yet!!! Charlotte could of been very different on a bad day. Travel safe...flight comes in 12 ---- hotel a almost a walk away. We be boogie about lateral from soundboard. T and Flair have a special relationship. All I have to say is massages---one gets them, the other one watches!! Seen stranger things---like me making this 7am flight. Uh oh----Mason on board----maybe he will have a wood floor I can Install for him during set break. see you soon....please have your girl save a dance for me------ Be good, be safe, be wise

T, its amazing how much we grow when we lose. How much we gain through loss, how much loss makes us feel when those nuggets of joy are given for us to experience. Sorry about ruff times and the fate of life. At times it seems its never ending. Perpetual cycles of ups and downs or constant downs. Hits you harder when your down, then hits you again till you become numb to all the blows. From dreary and cold nights of winter comes the rebirth of spring, to the long days of summer, back again through the strange nights of fall. Life is seasonal, but not always on time. Sometimes those seasons last months, year, years, a decade or two. Not always sure time heals but it does offer reflection, growth, and a sense of peace going through the worse accepting the tides, being more cautious, and eventually being wiser and more accepting as you experience more of the same. Steps to make you stronger to face a always not so beautiful world. But---with out the darkness there would be no light. Peace be with you brother. You will certainly carry some load, but time will allow you to shed the weight. Just as a caterpillar sheds its cocoon. The experience is part of the change inside. Your a good soul, keep that to heart as you bear the burdens. Little bit of music certainly helps. Support from friends and Jerry/Hunter words that seem to already know how you feel. Keep dancing....glad you got some music. Hope you get more. Take time for yourself T!! The ones you love will be better off with the time you take for yourself!!!

"I am not a Dude, I am a New Jersey State Police Officer" Plus the 1st song escorted walk out at Further in Atlantic City----Vic---I am not getting any closer as you!!

That is for sure a star studded list. Wow!!! Three nights in the same gold circle. Glad to know your in the know. Scotty plays his ass off. Absolutely floored by how well he and mango--with others--performed at black mountain. I imagine Covid has only honed their inner talent. Would love a invite to come by and mingle for the after party. As a heads up---years have changed---not the same as I was when hopped on this bus. No worries about behavior. Rick on the other hand---Just Kidding!! Happy to hear the lord bought Velvet a Mercedes Benz. I am sure she had some work in it!!! That's awesome. Herdy is creeping out of the Laramide Orogeny uplift-----that's good stuff. Word travels fast when venues are good. Music at Frederick was kind and the sound impeccable for outside venue--for any venue. Early show at that. It will be day time when the shuttle lifts off!!! I have not danced in the day since last I saw you August. That was outside of DC---Wolf Creek I believe. Maybe a Jubilee----no matter, be nice to shake hands and give a hug. If Covid allows or the comfort be. They supplemented and ended with a kick ass Tangled that day at Wolf Mountain!!! I know the original crew talks, mingles, and keeps up with each other. There are two sides to everything and it is absolutely wonderful it continues. I often don't come around here no more, but every so often I need to jazz up and cause controversy. Cant have Rude always take the show. You guys are more than likely what helped start and keep the tradition with tour and dance. DSO is lucky to have you, as we are lucky to have them!!! Will always be grateful for the encouragement when there was no light. Not even a tunnel. I now know Fredericks is going to be lit up with good people and dedicated members of a bigger family. Warmest of Regards!!! Thanks for chiming in August. Sincere appreciation!!

Hmmm... Herdy Gerdy and Velvet Thunders b-days today. Have not seen either in a very long time. Guess Velvet is enjoying German Alps, while Herdy has dropped off the map. Two people who I know loved and supported DSO from its early days. Wish both a happy B-day. Hoping both are doing well and doing what they love. Remember Herdy Jam in the Sand-----all I can say is smurfs----nothing more funny!!! Except when Rob B saw me helping Resort security get into a balcony room. Nothing more awkward than security standing on your shoulders to enter a room. What happened to master key? Big place and not enough time to get in to make sure someone was ok. Some people find themselves in places they do not want to be but are there because they are the person who should be--at that moment. What a ride that year was. Velvet---always has had her own beat to drum. A friend tells a funny story of picking her up from airport in the south. Sitting on the corner playing a mandolin. The kind of scene you saw when the circus was in town. It was the time when DSO drawled me in. A semblance of when the original played. Not strange, but different was around. It was a always that safety net you felt. The excitement to know your brothers and sisters were around. Happy B-day to both!!!

Just bought third night. This is perfect and what I wished for. Things happen when you want them enough. Great venue-----hopefully in a good gold section. The sections can be very odd. Some gold are not as good as bronze or silver. I know, seems odd, but its how they park you!! Rude, you do not have a kid, you have a baby!!! But, are we not all babies one way or another. Safe travels for you and your family!! Look forward to another three day release!!! Super excited about the drive in. Learned a lot from last run!! Edit, I purchased a gold tic earlier today through ticketmaster---i believe....Checked email this evening to confirm tic.....no email. Checked website, as for some reason I can not go through DSO website, and tics for sunday night go on sale the 12th? Do I need any more strange in my life? Conspiracy in my crazy world. Or maybe I am crazy. I prefer the former. Hoping I did not buy two nights for saturday.

When one respires like I do---like all of you do, there is no one mask during a show. Mask replacement for each song. Mask get water logged. Respiration produces what? Water vapor. Simple glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy released----- Its a no brainer!! Common Sense. Depends on what DSO plays. Early GD or late GD. Bring 15-26 mask. Not mocking you brother, but you bring a good point up.

1.9 trillion. That's nothing. Who cares about zeros? We should spend 10 trillion and bring in Mexico and all of middle America. Non-violent cartels. Some think there was a insurrection with a couple thousand. Lets bring in millions!!! World is changing faster and faster. Pepe La Poo is now a rapist. Dr. Sues is racist, and Megan Markel is an African American though whiter than myself. Being under educated, I am simply a simple man. My lenses are blurred. Spent a year with Covid business interruption claims. Spent hours listening to small business owners cry because they lost their whole life's work. Some, phones disconnected. Could never finish the claim. Cuomo is fighting Me too-----Allegations for a politician is damning. Who cares if there founded. All you need is a media to tell us under educated people what is right and wrong. My mother who is 78 with underlying conditions has yet to get a call to be vaccinated. Happy smokers get in front of the line. Its the American way!! Small businesses who can not afford closing should be penalized. Large corporations who can afford government bond buys should be set to grow bigger. The world is set for electric cars----how do we get electricity? Fossil fuels? Any thought about next generation lithium batteries? Hopefully China can produce better and better solar cells. Hydrogen Fuel Cells---ocean is full of hydrogen and oxygen!! Wait, does it not take more energy to split covalent bonds than we get back. Thermal dynamics? Nuke power plants? Fast breeders?---Hopefully molten salts work out. Bill Gates worked with China on those projects. Damn Trump administration shut that down---China moved forward---- Something about intellectual property given access to the next Super power. China buying our agricultural industry, as a means to keep feeding Americans. Somehow I reflect back to Lola. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola. I no longer extend my civic duty to vote. At some point, you have to withdraw from the game so your soul no longer has a part in the fall. Cop out----maybe---but would rather watch from the sidelines then have a hand in the mess. Ironic-----how far we all drive to see music. Fly to see music. Extend the resources the pollution, yet feel compelled to support green initiatives. All is good when we ourselves feel good. One side or the other, in the end, we have to look at ourselves. Our actions. Our complacency or our compliance. Mask do remove human expression. 90% of communication is body language. Simple domesticated dogs get that. Our loyal companion that assisted with the evolution of modern day society. Somehow we do not get that. So smart we are...our leaders even more in touch with our daily lives. We allow for hypocrisy---if its our side. Instead of wishing for the world to have a Coke with pretty endangered polar bears---who would bypass the coke, and just eat you if had the chance----I wish for individual thought that is not aligned with a two party system that has failed original intent. Self governance by "educated" people. I do not mean those educated by current institutions!!. I have enough of those degrees---but COMMON SENSE!!! Common has now become in its own right, non sensical. To busy to be common, to bullied to express "Common Sense". Common sense is now labeled---and if you are one of those labels, God Bless you---oops---I used God-----easier to use the parables from a book of common sense. Don's steal, don't lie, don't sleep around(you might get dieses), don't murder, etc..... Essentially a backdrop for common sense. Inclusion------why does DSO not have NWA open up for them--vice versa? Could we all mix together peacefully? Would it be peaceful? Hard questions, difficult thoughts, unless your media driven, and its all black and white. No pun intended. This post is only a mockery of ourselves and our nation----IT'S US BLUES!!!!!!!

This one is for Rude Dog----and all the low educated people of America. I bought Game Stop at $84.00----sold this morning-----funny how uneducated collectives forced billion dollar losses for some Hedge Funds!!! Cohen will not have as much now to donate to the GOP!!!------But, Pelosi's husband did a great job on his insider trading shorts!!!! And people are in fear of Bo and Luke Duke. Maybe Daisey is the one we should all fear. She could definitely cause some insurrection in my life----then, not now!! All written with a smile a laugh----none of it matters to us little folk!!

Sympathy for the Devil The Highway Men 7 Spanish Angles The Gambler Coal Miners Daughter (Lisa Song) 16 Tons On the Road again Ring of Fire Cripple Creek I'll Fly Away Ballad of the Alamo The same old tale that the crow told me Jim Bridger----North to Alaska----Comanche In the Arms of the Angle---Not sure how they would do this one. JGB-----but the words hit as hard as they should ---- Comfort is not always a easy place to find.....but somehow easy among strangers dancing to beautiful sounds. Pancho and Lefty American Remains I walk the line Paradise--John Prine Fireball Mail FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN!!!! (Bluegrass Breakdown)--"Originally wrote by Earl Scruggs for Bill Monroe" Thats VA/NC music as its finest!!! Finally: Any song by Talking Heads for an Impressionable Ambassador Extraordinaire noted above!!!

Thoughts with you for your loss brother. Memories will heal the loss, but it will never be forgotten. Mothers are true blessings despite ourselves. Love between Mother and Son is probably the strongest in all of the universe. Take time between the sorrow and grief to celebrate the life and her impact on yours!!

showing my era with this post-----still 20 years to late for where I should of been. Would rather be 66 than 46 right now if I could of spent the time 20 years prior. I love this song I just posted. How could Men with out hats and a midget make me smile? How did this song hit me before I even learned of GD? How does this mix in with Maslow's hierarchy? Well....how do you feel dancing to the Dead? GD, DSO, Further....when your dancing to the music, this music, how do you feel? I have, at times, felt my scariest thoughts and confronted them dancing to a China Doll, Attics, Sing me back home, So many roads..etc...... Such thoughts and internal confrontations in front of 10s of thousands down to only 6---the six was DSO sound checking in Jamaica when everyone else was eating. I was dancing in the sand, alone, but not lonely. Sure we share energy, but to dance alone in front of DSO was a rariety......I did not need to share and it felt good to be selfish. To have that stage all to my own. Chills up my spine as my hands type. The Music has always been my safety dance. Ironic it took discovering the magic of this music to understand safety dance. Life is so regimented. Society constrains-----our rituals constrain further----oddly many of us still jump right in and still believe in many outdated social rituals------I was embarrassed during my wedding---standing in front of people I have known my whole life, family, and another persons family that I allowed into my world. I can not remember a time I was ever embarrassed in front of Dead Heads. I have been other emotions, but embarrassed, I can not remember. We can dance, we can dance ----- We can dance like we come from out of this world and leave the real one far behind. Well, every time I dance at shows, I leave the real one far behind. From day 1, I felt safe doing so. There is not 1 of these needs that was not fulfilled at any show I have ever been over the past 32-33 years. If anything, this pyramid has been filled completely only at shows. Days Between----when phantom ships with phantom sails set to sea on phantom tides. Days Between. Life is a dance, an exchange of who we are presented to those who see.......I rarely dance to the days between, the days between has never completed the pyramid. No wonder why we give up so much to feel that fullness!!! The safety dance-----a dance I have only felt at shows.

The Wheel into China Doll---that sums up a lot----confliction, motives, actions, keeping up, giving up, trying to hang on with a slow silence of heavens bells and the thunderous movement of a life in motion. Through it all I just wished I was a head light on a north bound train. The Thai say same same but different---in Thai of course. Not sure if I am to be sad of earth shattering shared expereinces that are same but different, or if I am to be happy someone else survived through that type of hell. I lean towards the latter----I believe we have crossed paths Greg. I want to say T for Texas brought a introduction. I appreciate your thank you and reciprocate. 6 feet---50----3000miles----hugs is love----Been a long year of distance----Summer will come...the season to dance again will be laid before our nimble toes and the wings we all need to spread.....I spent the whole day with the window open and GD at volume 10!!! My neighbors have not seen me in 8 months-----but today the heard me, and whom ever looked through my window saw a dancing man happy to move!!!

It now does seem to be in rotation. I heard a glimpse of it in 2017--maybe 2018. I did not know what I was hearing, but a Carolina feller, now retired, came up to me with raised eyebrows and excited expression. "Man, that sounded like a low spark tease". Being me, a man----I dare not share that I had no clue what he was talking about. Low spark? Are you flipping kidding me? The show being played was a 68:}----- Probably the best show I have ever heard. Less that 69 we got at Jubilee. You remember, they started playing Mountains of the Moon---and we all were a bit transformed into a OMG, what is going to happen? Was one of the last times our paths crossed. Hope that will be corrected sooner than later. We all have those we look up to for various reasons. We also remember the exchange that elevated that person to which you appreciate the gold inside the soul. Granted, all that glitters is not gold, but at times what does glitter is gold especially when that person knows all you know and then some. Mr. Vegas is true gold, and his mind will weigh deep in your own when you realize your own depth may not be as deep as those of others, and there is still some distance to go. From John Ford to Focualt------from Talking Heads to the limitless depths of the Dead. True understanding of the world is a understanding of, or at the very least exposure to history, art, society, law and science----You have to work at this. It does not come to you---you have to search it out for yourself-----My dyslexia gets me at times----so I will use someone else words: Wise people generally share an optimism that life's problems can be solved and experience a certain amount of calm in facing difficult decisions. Intelligence may be necessary for wisdom, but it definitely isn't sufficient; an ability to see the big picture, a sense of proportion, intellectual humility, and considerable introspection ....wisdom can be acquired only through experience, but by itself, experience does not automatically confer wisdom----and from that, I offer thanks to one of the wise men of our community. Low Spark, well, another door opened and another lens to see. She never destroyed me, she allowed passage back to myself. Thanks for being part of that catalyst Brother V!!!!

WOW----TR------you have done so much with this place since I first logged in. I have not had time to read through past words, but I hope your getting the support you need and more!!! Find a place---its awkward when you yourself are awkward, but this place is a place where awkward no longer is awkward but rather, a celebration of the inner excitement and the strange that comes with enjoying productions by Merry Pranksters-GD--Zen Tricksters------>DSO------> Days of strange with Novel being novel, at least since 1918. Seclusion to a recluse. Hidden behind walls, covered faces, expressions lost by vails. Its nice to bring back winks to show favor of personal flavor. Nothing more kinder this year then spinning with a lop sided belly to wonderous sounds that pierce the soul---Remember how you cried the day of your first born----Impactful---you will always remember. Life out of the movement of two bodies becoming one creating another. Its poetry in motion---Its beauty we all celebrate in the ways we like the most. Soon there after--the late nights--no sleep---the dirty diaper changes---the efforts, finances, sacrifices to make that act into a person we will always see as beautiful in our eyes no matter their failures or successes. We will still love because of the energy we give---despite the ups and downs--somehow that rollercoaster makes us closer, love more, and allows us to care beyond what we ever cared for previously. -----Sound like tour? Less the diapers? For some----we got 1 on the way, and for some reason, I think some of us may change a diaper or two over the next couple years. How Rude!! Most of us know and have a understanding or some hint of the interconnectedness of life. To be born again in the witness of thousands---to be one way, and that night turn into something else. To walk down that crazy lot and into a isle ---- to fully open you self up to something larger than yourself. Its a birth into something greater than yourself. Its love making with the moves and grooves of many. Its a product that would not be unless enjoyed with others. Its enough at times to make you cry with all the emotions you ever had or will have. A release of the deepest seeded feelings that a person can experience outside of the creation of life itself. A sacred bond shared by those we choose to love. A wise Doctor once told me, we are a dysfunctional family that choose to be family. We were not born into it--we searched for it----the meaning of it----to much to understand on our own, so we connect with others to share how it effects ourselves, only to find, it effects strangers the same way. Over time, those strangers became friends, and from friends, became family. Family, that on multiple occasions drove an extra 5-10 hours to get me home, when I missed a train. When your girl got mad and left you in a rural area with no rentals, planes or trains. The existential family stepped in and delivered you back to where you belong. I have family on here. I am lucky I searched and found individuals I will love forever, and despite me, will love me forever. People outside of us, have asked--- "why is going down the road feeling bad fun".....Me Mom--in particular-----Why is bad so glad----because---- stuck in a car melting away was not enough for a soul to leave area of the best sound just to attempt to pry my ass out of the car to share in our ritual dance. The ritual is not ours as if we own it, but the shared experiences and joy of sharing it with each other and everyone else is as close as I will ever get to the tears and the joyous feeling of my first born. ----Brother C---you did not get me out of the car---but I danced with you the same. Spirit is not always as real as shaking bones, but its as big if not bigger----thank you for trying!!!! Military----when you work through it all, you grow with some ---you know in your mind why honor, valor, and courage is respected. Its because you realize, you would actually give your life for someone you know who would do the same for you---you become connected in ways typical friendship does not offer---or even allow. The comradery----sounds light years away from this type of "Hippy" forum---but its as close as it could ever be. I came here lost, trying to find some semblance of normalcy, peace, acceptance---answers----The answers found me when I was not looking. ------There is a road, no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night and if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone You who choose to lead must follow but if your fall you fall alone if you should stand, then who's to guide you? If I knew the way, I would take you home. There is no path home but the path home you make for yourself. No one can answer those questions so deep and personal---even if you share. The beauty of it is ownership of your choices, but the love in it is the help our family gave to keep a dead man walking. The support to help a wounded brother. The understanding that we all fall. To fall is human, to seek answers is human, to step back and offer support in the journey to help someone find those paths, well------that's love in its purist form. Family kept a float a wandering soul, disheartened, disillusioned, numb, near no mercy, and the death that would of followed. Awkward---huh? lil bit---Openly shared a world of despair. Everyday, like the panhandler on the street. Just looking for little nuggets to hold on to. Something to bring back meaning to the feelings. Oddly, found it in the Ruddiest of places. Younger Cosmic offered a hand, followed by some Texas Tea, wrapped by some locally hated Reynolds out of the Carolina Contingent, and smoothed over by chance meetings with a northern Cave Doctor on some Caribbean island stuck with another confused child of Mason---who has grown as much as myself over the years--near a decade. Teacher up north and a pizza brother in Jersey who no longer frequent-- I dont forget the nights you reached out worried. What a quick synapsis of years past that seems like yesterday. There was some sweet Mango in between along with deep wisdom out of Vegas-----yea, I know, there is more to Vegas than glitter and gold!!! I will end this story with some of biggest offering of thanks---TR......Thanks T Ron----you offered confidence to a pure heart when awkward was at its height---All I wanted was to jump back on the bus, so badly it scarred some that were already riding. Anyone, anywho, anywhere else, the troubles would of been turned away, dismissed, and never thought about again. Not here----Not with these people. my 2nd GD show----so drunk despite help, they were throwing me out. Alone, helpless, all my funds and material out for some to prosecute, others to profit, and for me to loose was kept close and hidden by strangers who left 1st set of the show to care for me. Staid with me in the lot until those I was with found my near lifeless body. I do not know who those strangers were, individually, but I know them now as our family. The same family who I annoyed, pestered, and ultimately shared with the darkest moments of my life--openly, with out embarrassment----as I knew from days past, when I lost my wings---and could not fly, others would fly to me and so they did, and so I get to write this random with a smile on my face. God Bless Jerry Bless -----I am truly thankful, I am thankful for your peace, your patience, and your understanding. You are a community of brothers and sisters that choose each other!! You are family, and I am thankful to always be part of it!!! Thanks for bringing me water when I preferred beer. LOVE YALL!!!

All smiles for all those who got the music against the beautiful fountain formation.

Defintely got down110%.....followed by musical suprise by mango and friends. Good to see so many of you, good to see so many with the let loose type of dance. So much fun. 3 nights is right!! So much fun. Why cant it be every other day? Love yall, love the magic, and love the good friends that continue to help with these experiences. Floored by the beauty of it all. Other thoughts to mention, but gots to go!! And my name has changed once again....sorry for the confusion. The life of a ever evolving head!! Name changes were normal at one time....haha..internally. Thanks everyone for a real good time. Dennys both mornings 430.....thanks doc.....for getting us in the mountain. The music post show was notable, and literally infused in me the difference between beauty and what it means to be around beautiful people. I am lucky to know beautiful people. Always learning...and I learned some things about myself this weekend. Yall have fun at red rocks!!!
