Hey Now!

	About the Lithuanian t-shirts:

	I just read in an AP story that while the shirts are selling
for $30, one-third ($10) of the proceeds from each shirt is being
directed towards the Lithuanian Olympic Committee. The story also
implied that the Boyz are not profiting from the t-shirt sales, but
who really knows how the extra $20 is being divvied up.

	All in all, it was a rather interesting article...good press
for the Boyz, talking about how the t-shirts were "the hottest selling
items" in Barcelona, and contrasting the Lithuanian team with the
US team's infatuation with covering up part of their uniforms, etc.

	I also just picked up two ties from the J. Garcia collection
at Bloomies. Heck, if Jerry won't wear them, then I will :-) :-)

Hi fun folks!

1. Donna definitely had her moments. I've been listening to quite a few
'77's this past weekend, and when she was on, she was on.

2. I still like Keith on piano the best.

3. I quit smoking 12 years ago. Actually , it was pretty easy! I don't
know why, but the only bad part is my super-sensitivity to smoke now.
That aspect has not lessened over the years.

4. Still looking for some good quality tapes from Egypt '78.

5. Many many thanks to Melissa for the kind copy of SSDD!

6. I also trade G-Men tapes, if anybody's interested. I play keys in
the band.

If I want to tape a album for personal use, is it advantages
to use dolby?  I would not encounter generation problems, and
would play it back on the same tape deck most of the time.
In this case, is dolby a beneficial thing to use to remove hiss

Is anyone involved with GDTS or who knows their procedures out there?? I 
looked up the mail-order problem # from the FAQ for this group, it was listed
as (415) 457-8034, when I called it I got a recording...& yes I called between 
11:00 & 5:00 Ca. time.  Heres my question--I want to know if GDTS keeps track
of what tickect numbers are sent to whom when they send out tickets. The 
reason is because my tickets were accidently thrown away, I am the original 
purchaser, so what I am thinking is...if they keep track of what ticket number
is sent to whom,& what ticket numbers have been refunded  they will know that 
the tix they sent to me have not been refunded, thus prompting them to give me
a refund.  For their own protection they can keep the ticket numbers on file 
in case somehow the tickets re-surface & someone else tries to send them in 
they will be denied a refund. 

 Any help is *gratefully* appreciated!!

Jim, 

Do yourself a favor so you can get some sleep tonight. :-)  Call 1-800-CAL-DEAD
and ask them where the money's going!  They're the ones who know, and they
will either confirm your darkest suspicions of the Dead as Capitalists (which
they have been for some time) or calm the stormy waters of the soul by 
revealing that they are indeed the Angels of the Most Highly Beneficent.

Have you been to a show recently?  GDM t-shirts have been selling for $24 ->
$38 dollars for several years now.  Up to now, no one else has been inspired
to dig up the dirt on this outrageous scandal, so maybe you should be the guy.
There could be a whole new career in investigative reporting awaiting. :-)

Seriously, this is, more or less, a free market society.  That means the seller
can sell for whatever the market will bear.  It's the essence of capitalism,
and has been going on since the World's Oldest Profession got started.  You
don't like the price, spend your dollars elsewhere.  There's plenty of other
less expensive t-shirts available.  You don't want the guv'ment to regulate
shirt prices, do you?

Supposedly, (from a source who has been known to stretch the truth)
Healy already has selected what he is going to use for OFTV III.  I don't
know what it is, but should find out pretty soon.  He has allegedly layed the
show out on tape and is now doing the usual engineering and such.  This could
take a long time, because last year at this time he and Bob Bralove were
soundchecking St. Stephan from OFTV II at MSG, and that didn't come out until
last spring.

I would be inclined to agree.  However, I've just returned from a 
pilgrimage to several large midwestern cities, & my old friends there
do exactly that:  they listen to CD's, to David Gans' show, &
swap tapes.  The Dead rarely show there, they don't know much
about the side bands (which I think are better anyway), getting
to all the shows we on the coasts have enjoyed is/was a big time & money
hassle for working folks, &c.  Some haven't been to shows in years.
Many of these people are well acquainted with the "scene" too --
some were in the original tourhead groups in the 70's.
