Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’ve never been a Dead fan. Love most of the music from that era but not them. Weird because I’m more like a hippie than anyone else in my family. Free spirit, dress like a beach bum and hippie combined, always barefoot or flip flops except dead of winter wear whole shoes & barefoot in house always.
I still go to shows. Dead and company last summer and a two nite stand of Phish ..billy strings live will blow your mind

The live shows w jerry were awesome...the positive energy flowing from the stage and back made magic happen..seriously
The dead got me traveling..you see folks w signs needing tics for next show. And you go..been to both coasts and everything in between..if your car breaks down..deadheads will stop to help
If you did mail order your local show you are front row..the dead knew the venues and the sun would not be in your eyes at showtime
