I was listening to a tape from the Family Dog from 9-6-69. Jerry sang
Good Lovin. This is funny as hell. Did any of you go to this show? I saw
the dead back east at that time but I always recall the Pig singing Good
Lovin. Neat treat.

Greetings from Terrapin Tapes!

I've never visited rec.music.gdead so I wanted to poke my head in, say
hi, and let everyone know what our new policy is in regards to the 5%
discount for net users.  First, I want to apologize for the changes
we've made but too many people not on the net were trying to get the
discount by saying they were.  So here's the scoop.  If you're on the
net simply take 5 percent off the total of your tape order.  All I need
is your e-mail address to confirm an active account.  I think this
will work well for all.

Please note that we have an agreement with Deadbase to sell #6 (everything
thru 1991)  for the exact same price as they do.  Hence, we can't extend
the 5% discount on Deadbase.

On another note, we've continued our pricing policy in '93 which
guarentees you the lowest prices on Maxell and TDK blank audio
and video tape.  Just let us know where you can get them for less
and we'll beat that price by 5%.  If you have any questions feel
free to send me email or call our 800 number.  We would like to hear
from you if you have any ideas, suggestions or comments on how we
can better our service to you.  This and any other feedback is welcome
and sincerely appreciated.

In the very near future Terrapin Tapes will be branching outside
the land of the Grateful Dead to reach mainstream America.  It's
important to me that Deadheads recognize that TT is their creation
and our roots have been and always will be here.

Thanks to everyone for making our existence possible.  I'm looking
forward to offering you the lowest prices, fast delivery and
the kindest of service in the new year!

Sincerely Grateful,

Ken Hays

While skiing with my new Dark Stars on New Year's Day ;-) ;-) ;-)
someone I was riding the lift with mentioned that he had heard the
next Dead ski was to be called the "Panther Run"...sounds like it
would be consistent with a rainforest design.  But I doubt if they'll
be any cheaper than the Lunatic Fringe Dark Star, just because
they might be coming from K2.  They'll probably be another limited
edition (1000 prs or so) and that means they'll likely cost the
full amount (no sales), $400-$500. ;-(

Also, when I got my new skis (at Demo Ski in San Rafael) they also
had the Lunatic Fringe "Bertha" snowboard...also beautiful!  If
it skis ("boards"? "snurfs"?  "shreds"?) anything as nice as the
skis do, I'm sure any snowboarders out there would love it.

This is the official announcement of the December 13th 1992tape tree.  The seed
was graciously provided by Steve Jeck.I am aware that many people are away for
the holidays so thetree will open at midnight Jan. 5th (wednesday morning) and
close at midnight Jan 11th.

Please don't mail requestsprior to that time as I
am purging/rearranging my mail box.

The tree will start out on DAT and
eventually end up inanalog format, so if you have one DAT deck
but can makeanalog copies it will be greatly appreciated.

Don't worryit makes no difference how soon you
sign up, once I have allthe names I will organize it (with the help of my
roomate)in a proper fashion.

Simply clip the following and mail it back to me, it would
be helpful if the mail subject was "12/13/92 tree", as I get

For those of you who are crazy about cross-country trips, the desert, and
gonzo driving, identify with this:

About a thousand miles out on the odometer, crossing the Arizona desert
out where great freeways merge in the middle of nowhereness, I sensed the
need for recreation. Kaiser March 1987 was handy.  Soon I was wider awake 
than the truckers making time on whites.

Just at the complete apex of this tape when Bob Weir was electrifying my
near-blown speakers with the line

  "..Tell the folks back home this is the Promised Land calling and your
   poor boy's on the line!"

-- which is, of course, in one of the ultimate driving-across-the-U.S.A. songs
-- I was passed.  Four boys heading west -- Dead sticker on car, check -- and 
sure enough, Virginia plates!  They disappeared.

Now the questions:
1. Is the song really about carrying, heading for a show, or just wandering?
2. If there are seven digits in that Virginia phone number, did anybody get'm?
3. Who were those boys from Virginia on AZ I-10 that Thursday? (& did they have
PL on board!)
