Dear Fellow Explorers:
The summer that was - is rapidly waning - & shall
soon be memory ... the affliction that beset our
enigmatic BARON ... and kept him away for a few shows has subsided - (hey
- even Barry Bonds
spends a few weeks on the DL with back spasms now & again).
Next weekend, PAUL returns to the "clean-up"
spot, to fill out the starting line-up roster card. These shall
constitute the final shows we play in the tri-state area for 2002. They
are 'acoustic shows' that also feature MARTY, SLICK, DIANA & CHRIS ...
think Fall 2000!
Notably, the band shall perform with the legendary PETE
SEEGER @ The Hudson River Festival in Poughkeepsie on Sat., Sept. 21.
PETE & PAUL have worked out a special song for the occasion ...
... perhaps we can get PETE up for "Volunteers" as well.
Now that would be something!
Sun., Sept. 22 @ The Bottom Line, NY shall be "Fan
Appreciation Night." We shall make it as special as possible
& look forward to seeing everyone, in Poughkeepsie & in NYC next
weekend.
Thu. &Fri., Oct. 10 & 11 respectively,
shall be our last East Coast shows of 2002. These are our warm-ups
for Europe - we hope to break out some 'new' material for you, that we'll
be 'debuting' on the continent. The State Thr. in Falls Church, VA
is one our very favorite places to play, so we hope all of you can make it
there.

..." - GRACE SLICK 1989
After much endeavor & reconfiguration, JS-E02
... the tour of Europe has been completely booked. I had hoped this
would have been accomplished some weeks ago - to give those of you seeking
to join us - an opportunity to put your affairs in order ... submit
vacation time requests & the like ... NOT at the last minute ... but
well enough in advance for convenience sake. The truth is: It
would have been bad form of us to organize a trip for you that might fall
through - compromising valuable time off. Consequently - it's become a
hurry up & wait scenario.
Those of you wishing to block book & join us for
either "THE CONTINENT," "THE UK" or "BOTH"
are URGED to email me privately BEFORE WED., SEPT. 18. If there is
sufficient interest, we shall be able to create an adventure for you, that
shall be both economical & memorable. We shall arrange your air,
hotel, ground transportation, and of course - the concerts. Society
members have this latter component, already covered. I shall post on
A-Deck, late next week, whether or not we have enough
"Volunteers." If we fail to achieve the requisite number
for block booking, I shall personally assist all who do wish to attend.
Speaking of JS3C: I have now completely filled
ALL outstanding memberships. Those of you, whose receipt of goods
has been delayed, shall find a pleasant surprise in your package. The
failure to deliver with alacrity is mine alone - any who desire further
satisfaction should email me privately.
A final word about JS-E02: I can't help but
remember, 30 years ago this past Spring, our GRATEFUL DEAD 'cousins' made
their own extended foray to the Old World. It resulted in a fine 3
LP release ... many wonderful tapes ... & very recently, a 4CD set
culled from their UK performances. It was also PIGPEN's last tour
with the band - and though all of us are in excellent health (PAUL too!) -
and in our prime - the coming tour is the longest we have ever attempted
outside the U.S.
Perhaps it's the golden, dappled light of coming
Autumn, glinting through my window ... or my own passing into fatherhood
this year ... but there is something about the coming expedition I find
especially sweet & poignant. I hope many of you get to join us!
Galactic-ally yours ... Michael Gaiman, Sept.13, 2002 |
