Grateful Dead Music Forum

So if you haven't noticed, I haven't been around in awhile. The reason is the standard working class story. Lost my job, lost my residence, lost my band, lost my way. In other words, shit fell apart. I'm very close to having everything back in place. It's been difficult, but I'm almost there. I've got two new bands, A decent job, and hopefully a new apartment (I've been staying with my buddy).
So I made a bet against myself. I bought Penn State tickets. If my shit is fully on track as it should be in 3 weeks, I'll be at the show getting a helthy dose of stress relief. If it doesn't work out I guess I'll have to sell my tickets at the last minute. As I have no luck at all what-so-ever the odds are against me. However, I've busted my ass to put my shit back together and every now and again hard work actually pays off.

I've missed being part of this site/community. I'm very happy to have an internet connection again. It's great to be back!

Great to have you back man. I feel the same way about this site when I can't come on for whatever reason

welcome back spilly,

once in a while you get shown the light
in the strangest of places when you look at it right.

Hey Spilly,

Best of luck to you as you rebuild. All it takes is hard work and determination and the willingness to never ever give up. You can do it.

Best of luck to you man. My dad is kinda going through the same thing, but his Dead tickets are a lake house. Just keep hoping.

Good luck to you, there are a whole lot of folks out there in the same boat. Work hard, play hard and be kind, it will come together. I will try to stay positive if you will.
