-Sweet-I'll take that as a DEAD-ication!!! Thank You, Jerry.
Ten years ago tonight I was at my second to last Dead show (inside) at The Palace at Auburn Hills. It was quite a special show. I was there all by myself. I had taken off in my truck with the capper on the back, and my couch bed mattress in it. A rig that had earned the title "the together-ment" (as opposed to the apart-ment-lol) when we were on spring tour. (see photo)
I met a guy the night before the show who helped me get a camping space. His name was Gary Tomaro (like "tomorrow") and he was from San Francisco. I was involved in what had become a sort of cosmic game of chess, looking to put a certain king in check. This was like a sign that my plan was working, but then that's a horse of a different color! Gary Tomaro and I hung out in the togetherment and swapped tour stories until it was gettting light out. All the next day I thought to myself "Last night I talked to Tomaro until dawn!!!"
Now I can say "ten years ago I talked with Tomaro until Dawn-and I am just beginning to be able to understand all that was said!"
to be continued....
