Here or There
I remember very well an “aha” moment I had once in the underground tunnels of New York City. I was sitting on the train like I had one million times before, but this time I looked around me because, sometimes in New York, you can forget to look. So I’m looking, and the scene grabs […]
New York: The Face of Fogy?
August 24, 2010
Between the incessant, ignorant rants and unnecessary national attention over a proposed mosque in New York City, I’ve about had enough. Then, this morning I read an article in the Metro about the controversial building of a new tower two blocks west of the Empire State Building which at 1,216 feet would rival the landmark’s […]
Special: Radio City in Grateful Dead Country
June 18, 2010
In October of 1980 the Grateful Dead took over Radio City Music Hall as part of a 25-show run celebrating 15 years of making music. Each performance started with one acoustic set that would revive favorites like To Lay Me Down and On the Road Again. I can’t speak to what the shows must have […]
Update: Slow, But Good
June 1, 2010
I just spoke with my dad, mentor of all things Dead, and he asked, ‘Hey, how’s the blog coming?’. When I answered with ‘slow, but good’, I could hear an ounce of disappointment in his reaction which, now that I think about it, was more than likely my own disappointment in the guise of his […]

Hello friends, The New York Historical Society’s big event, Tales of the Grateful Dead and New York, is taking place TOMORROW, Thursday, May 27th at 6:30pm. That’s the good news. The bad news is, I won’t be able to make it. Don’t feel too sorry for me though, I’ll be with an old friend who […]
Special Event: Tales of the Grateful Dead and New York
April 28, 2010
Last month I shared my trip to the New York Historical Society for the acclaimed Grateful Dead Exhibit running until July 4th, 2010. Visiting this collection was the best way to begin my Grateful Dead journey and it remains an important reference point for me. Whether you’re interested in Dead academia or wish to reminisce […]
From Fans to Fillmore
April 4, 2010
As promised, here are a few more photographs supplied by the NY Historical Society from their ongoing Grateful Dead exhibit. The first two in particular are my favorite as they showcase the personal touches and devotion illustrated by so many Deadheads. There’s still more to come from NYHS. Check out their upcoming special Tales of […]
From NYHS, to Me, to You
March 31, 2010
This morning I found a new message in my inbox from the NY Historical Society’s Communications office. Turns out, someone over there noticed my blog and wants to give thanks. They were so kind as to donate press photos and supplemental material for me to share with you. Looks like they’ve learned a thing or […]
Into the City
March 28, 2010
Yesterday I packed up my shiny new camera and headed to the NY Historical Society ready to soak up all the Dead history I could while photographing every detail to bring back here to you. So, imagine my disappointment when I approached the admissions counter and read the dreaded sign, “No pictures allowed”. Where does […]
A Very Grateful Weekend
March 26, 2010
This weekend I will be visiting the New York Historical Society to check out their much too cool Grateful Dead Exhibit. If you’re in the NY area, I encourage you to stop by (click on the link for details). I’ll be flying solo to this one. Let’s face it, not too many of my friends will […]
