There’s something very surreal about going straight from a Waffle House in Georgia to a private plane with members of The Grateful Dead. #deadandcompany #whatagreattour

I always hit Waffle House after seeing the Grateful Dead at the Omni. Great for breakfast or after a show! Hey, check out the Happy Curmudgeons. They just released an album on iTunes today. I think you will dig IDLE TIME. Peace

So rad!!! I started off this morning with granola in Santa Cruz and then a Delta flight to Dallas with the corporate America crowd (ok, I am a white collar guy now, too). Really stoked to be seeing you guys Friday night in Dallas and then Saturday in Austin. Can't wait to hook up with my Orange County crew. Really appreciate that my wife and kids let me go. She rather have the Dead by my midlife crisis than a fast car or young lady. I am especially GRATEFUL that I was able to muster the coin to see you guys in Mexico for my 50th. With tears of joy, I am seriously blessed! Thank you guys so much for letting the music play.

They sure have their ways. Lol. I have a plane ticket to Orlando and was going to meet my oldest brother in sunrise. I don't have tickets yet. My brother lost his job last month and really want to take him. I have been a rail rat since 95. Jeff knows me well, i like to get him going on keys. My contact to get a message to him isn't working this tour. So was wondering if you would be kind enough to show him this post and have someone pm me or email etc to see if i can make this happen. Had a medical issue the night before philly and haven't been able to get to any this tour. So just trying to put it out as the universe does have it's ways. This Momma needs her therapy and certainly a sermon with the Family. Much love, hope to see you guys soon.

I met Kofi at a session and we talked afterwards and he told me,”Bruh you need to see the band my brother play with have you ever heard of The Point? I said yep I live in the Virginia Highlands. When I got there it was a $2.00 cover and I was like whoa I will have one drink and I’m outta here. I got home after midnight totally blown away. And that’s how it began...

I’m still in the same place in the bamboo stop by anytime Oteil
