Not to rain on the parade, but...

It's not the Grateful Dead.
Not for me.
Those days were some of the most important of my life,
but they're over, and I think trying to recreate it is kinda sad.

My sincere apologies.

ok....that is news to me...thank you....

and yeah, mail ordering was kind of a pain, but we got some great seats that way over the years, in the old days...

I allways thought the mail-order was purposfully time-consuming for the buyer in order to discourage scalpers.

they always did mail order before.....and, if you have free time to actually go get the money order and go to the post office, it works great....

no answers yet....dammit.....but i would imagine that the phone in has to take credit cards.

so are they having mail order or are they doing it on the phone at 12:00?   and if so then how are they not using credit card.  and how is doing mail order reducing the carbon footprint?

and what a pain in the ars mail order was, and why don't they do lottery like Phish is if ...   I don't know, why on earth are they doing mail order!

No... seriously I didn't.

I'm so wired!

I don't have a date so I'm gonna take that extra ticket and wait until one of those really lame deadheads comes around whining about "I need a miracle" and then I'm gonna give it to him/her.  Just for old tyme sake!
