the first new year's without a member of the GD playing somewhere in SF (or easy driving distance) since '65.

and, while in the lot, be sure to pick up (what i think was) the final issue of the original grateful dead parking lot zine MIKEL, put out by his friends after michael linnah himself died of cancer earlier in the year. gdsets.com/images/galle...

though there was that one sunday where he was playing a song where the singer had a thick accent & the chorus was "jah no dead" & my blurry morning brain thought they were singing my last name & i was having a stroke or something.

very excited to read someone articulate my half-baked argument that the mets are basically robert moses's fault & therefore cursed. (not sure if this book will actually argue the 2nd part of that tbh, but seems like it follows the first.)
