Yoga Diaries: The flute player
I’m laying flat on my back, arms to my side at the end of one of my very first yoga classes. The instructor rises to change the music. Her choice must mean it is time to quit working the body and start grooming the soul. For a lost amount of time, we hear the songs […]
The Epic Tour: A Grateful Dead… Video Game?
December 19, 2011
This morning I checked my Grateful Dead news (from an official, exclusive source that goes by the name of “Google”) and was grabbed by a headline that announced an upcoming Grateful Dead video game titled The Epic Tour, to be released online and for mobile devices. This may not be news to you as it […]
What I Learned in September
October 1, 2011
September came and went, but not without a dedicated journey to be remembered. I spent the better part of the month reminiscing on moments from my 25 years of life. I paid particular attention not just to my actual memories but to the structure and to the sharing of those memories. To challenge myself and […]
If I were a budding country music flower
June 22, 2011
If I were a budding country music flower, I would sprout from one of Nashville’s towering Magnolia trees. I would overlook Centennial Park’s ode to the Greeks and reach for the wafts of air infused with kettle corn. When the sun became too hot and the air too thick, I would call on the rains […]
UPDATE: The Furthur Experiment @ TRI Studios
June 9, 2011
After server issues during Tuesday night’s Furthur show at http://www.tristudios.com, there has been chatter about how TRI will make it up to all the paying viewers who missed out on part or all of the webcast. Some people complained unforgivably while others waited patiently, certain TRI, Furthur, and Bob Weir would offer a solution. Just […]
The Furthur Experiment @ TRI Studios – 6/07/2011
June 8, 2011
Earlier in the day it felt as if I had made up my mind. I’ve been to concerts before, once seeing Furthur at Coney Island in New York. Hours before I would feel the pre-show buzz all the way from my hands to my feet. The feeling distracts from anything else going on around you […]
Bob Weir on Economics and the End of Time
August 11, 2010
A few months ago I wrote about the business of the Grateful Dead as inspired by my visit to the NY Historical Society’s Dead exhibit. Today I stumbled upon two interviews with Bob Weir from different economic resources that discuss everything from his personal finances and business decisions to the 2012 prophecy of the end […]
Happy Birthday, Jerry
August 1, 2010
Sixty-eight years ago today, Jerome John Garcia was born in San Francisco, California to parents Joe and Ruth Marie “Bobbie” Garcia. About 23 years later, Jerome would be known as Jerry Garcia of the newly formed Grateful Dead, formerly the Warlocks. Just 30 years after that, Jerry would pass away inside a rehab facility, leaving […]
The Keyboardist
July 18, 2010
6/28 Sitting across from me on the Q train, an older man with aged brown skin leans over and speaks intently to a darker skinned boy with large, eager, brown eyes. The man, presumably the father, wears a white generic baseball cap covering what I’m sure are also brown doe-eyes. His son is dressed in […]
