Who's going to Chicago for GD50 & has it affected your TBF plans?

[FaceOnMars]

Congrats on getting tix!

I got shut out, but will wait and see if anything shakes loose  ... although I realize the odds are relatively low.

Otherwise, might try to make it to Santa Clara the weekend after Bluegrass - if the rumor is true.  I'd still stick around for Bluegrass regardless.

Thanks--pretty excited when my buddy (MHBTR) got  Mailorder for TownPark a couple months ago. Now we get the 'golden ticket' to Chicago... [and one last 'dead tour' is just too much to pass up this summer and I just can't find a way to do both]. Actually it worked out well as we can help out our 'family' in The Herd at Town Park with the passes and still have a memorable road trip to see the Boyz one last time.

 I sure am going to miss seeing Rhonda Vincent though! There is an old saying "There really is nothing quite like a Grateful Dead concert". It is true. But I'd argue that same expression could be used on TBF---nothing else quite like it!

 Listening to: Jump Back - Kingfish

Didn't get Chicago tix, but just lucked out with Santa Clara.

As it turns out, might wind of up having to bail on Sunday in Telluride ... since I might take a trip to California the week leading up to the Santa Clara shows.

At the least, will be conscious of toning it down a notch @ TBF ... simply as a matter of "pacing myself".

Crazy thought for a Friday afternoon.  Given GD50, the fact that many Festivarians are Dead Heads and Yonder's proven willingness to tailer a Conference Center set, I wonder if we could get our friends in Yonder to consider making one of their CC sets this year a Dead Set?  Wouldn't that be a fun way to kick off the festival and create a link to Fare Thee Well?

 Listening to: A lot of Dead lately as I gear up for Chicago!

I fully support this movement. 

[IMHBTR]

Second that emotion.

 Listening to: Way more Dead than I've listened to in a long long time

[festisolstice]

I third that emotion! We were fortunate to score 2 Friday's in Chicago and will still be at TBF this year!  We are crazy grateful that we are attending both!

I wonder if any of our friends reading this at Planet Bluegrass who might also like this idea might be able to nicely put our suggestion in front of the band (pretty please)?

 Listening to: More Dead

[psuruns10]

Just saw Leftover extended their run over the weekend.  July 3 playing Old and in the Way set during set break of the Dead followed up by a late night electric set.  July 4th doing the same thing, streaming the Dead show with a Grisman/Garcia set followed by electric late night set.

Going to be a epic weekend of music

 Listening to: Del

[sarrygarcia7]

It's insane! My ticket aniexty has been at an all time high in 2015 

[IMHBTR]

Check out this music grid. Insane is correct.

Many of the shows don't start until late night sans Nightgrass.

Del and Grisman back to back looks mighty tasty.
I plan on attending that Thursday show with GSBG, Dusters and Keller. That theater looks incredible.

Chicago Theatre is beautiful, a bit big for greensky and the dusters though.  I am guessing there will be a groupon closer to the show date.  I got mail order for all three nights, this is going to be dangerous!
