Looking for a place to eat while in Schaumburg was simple. Launched the Maps app on my iPhone and typed in “restaurants” and in 3 seconds found Hooters – and saw exactly where it was. Mmmmmm, chicken wings.
But my point is that my iPhone is used for SO much more than just a phone. Doesn’t seem possible living without it.
Oh, and by the way, it found my dinner choice while I was actually talking to someone on the phone.
This is a great 2009 video compilation with the current band lineup. It shows their enthusiasm and great personalities during rehearsals. Pretty amazing for a band that formed in 1965 and continues to play today, even with the loss of their iconic guitarist. The Grateful Dead are well-known for constantly touring throughout their long career, playing more than 2300 live concerts. Not to shabby. Keep on truckin’.
He’s bummed he can’t go with me. I’ll bring him a shirt. He asked me
if he could listen to the Atlanta ’77 Fox Theatre show (one of my
favorites) while I was gone. How could I say no? He’s my pride and joy.
Well, just a few days away from the show in Chicago. I’ve been looking forward to it for quite some time. The last time The Dead toured was in 2004. What a long five year wait it’s been. I’ve been lucky enough to have seen the band 17 times, 12 with Jerry. That is really the blink of an eye to a true Deadhead. But, nevertheless, I consider myself lucky.
We’re leaving on Sunday to make a “weekend” out of it. The show is on Monday. Too bad the Tuesday show (which was their first booking) sold out so fast. I would have bought tickets to that one as well.
