DATELINE LARAMIE, WYOMING 

  In an article on local dude made good, Steve Lucero, Denver
artist born and raised in Laramie Wyoming, published in the
Sunday edition of the Laramie Daily Boomerang July 26th, possessors
of Lucero originals included lesser celebs such as Robert Redford,
but the list included internationally venerated personalities
such as our own JEROME JOHN GARCIA, (only they called him Jerry) and
Carlos Santana rounded out the noteable's.
  That reminds me of a war story:-)  See, Ol' Steve is Lee Martinez's
nephew.  Lee holds the distinction of being the only person in the
history of Laramie Wyoming arrested for Jaywalking.  Lee was chasing
after this buff nub a little drunk one day, and he ran out in front
of a cop car that almost hit him.  But this doesn't have anything to
do with that...  remember those McNichol's shows in Denver a couple
of years ago when it took the Boyz three days to finish a Dark Star
and they played all that other neat stuff in between?
  It was a mear twenty-two hours before show time, and I was talking
to Lee.  Ol' Lee says, "How you getting down to Denver?"  I said, 
"Don't know."  Lee says, "Well I got an old pickup truck but I'm
afraid to take it out of town."  I said, "Hell I ain't!"  He said,
"Fine, come by and pick it up about 11 tomorrow."  See , Ol' Lee
dosed with Jerry and his nephew Steve about 18 years ago, (and we're
still trying to figure out what show that was!).
  Tindall had flown in from that Chicago shithole he has to grovel 
for existance in, and the Amazon had never been to a show.  She'd
been screeching at us for a week-  "HOW WE GONNA GET THERE?  WHAT
ARE WE GONNA EAT?  WHERE WE GONNA STTAAAAAAYYYYY???"  Me and ol'
Tindall would just grin with that rainbow sparkle in our eye and
say, "Don't worry, we're going to a show!  Everything will work 
out fine.  And no matter what's going on in your life, everything
will be OK when Jerry hits his first chord."
  We picked the truck up and loaded her.  Of course it was colder
than a goddamn Hagen Das enema and there was a bullet hole in
the windshield we plugged up with one of the Amazon's tampons, so
I turned on the defroster and blew anti-freeze all over the 
windshield and the tampon string.  That neccesitated disconecting
the heater and off we went.
  The Amazon did come out of the bag when I took a 12 mile short
cut from one of those Colorado 2 lanes over to the freeway through
cow pastures on dirt roads.  And there was no on ramp when we 
got to I-25.  I said, "Ain't you ever seen Mr. Majestic?"  Down
in the bar ditch we went and up on the freeway we shot and down
the road we go, no problem, right?
  Well A LOT of people who didn't make those shows have the tapes.
And the Amazon likes to say, "A lot of people think there's       
significance to the fact that the Dead played Dark Star at my first
show but I don't think it was that big a deal..."  She was screetching
"WHERE WE GONNA STAY?  I DON'T WANT TO FREEZE MY ASS OF IN THIS F*CKING
TRUCK ALL NIGHT!"  Ol' Tindall an I were telling her to relax, we
weren't out of the parking lot yet, (besides, I ground scored a five
dollar bill right beside the truck after the show and we could have
put her up in one of those all night porno theatres on east Colfax
if we had too).
  Right at the exit to the lot, this brother comes up and asks for
a ride to his motel for him and his dog since his van wasn't running.
Of course he had floor space.  The Amazon ate at least a gallon of
the venison chile I'd prepared and frozen for the occasion.  But we
still had plenty of free food for the truly needy and nobody 
complained about paying $2 a plate.  So ol' Lee got his truck back
in better condition than he lent it.  And the bumper sticker in
the back window?  "CACA PASA!"
  You know, shit happens, but not to me going to, from, or during
dead shows.  There seems to be a power that pulls me there, lifts
me during, and sees me home safely that's intrinsic to the Grateful
Dead.  Shit happens when I'm an egotistical idiot-  when I'm self 
absorbed, self important, self seeking, and frightened.  That's  
when I make my own shit.
  Saw Lee last night.  He's looking real healthy.  Lee's in on
organizing this barbeque the 16th.  We're gonna eat half of one
of ol' Scotties Buffalo.  If your headed out west from the east
coast or the midwest, drop on in and I'll see that you get a 
Buffalo burger and a soda.  All you got to do is be bozing down
I-80 that afternoon in reasonable proximity to Laramie, Wyoming!
