    stories on life after the '60s. *25.00*

       I saw that KEY-Z productions has a video of one of the Acid Tests,
    has anybody seen this?  Is it worth getting....I know it's about an 
    hour long and they want something like thirty five bucks for it.

    Hey now
    
    	All through the Electric kool aid book,,, Tom WOlfe describes
    different points along their cross country trek where they were
    "making a movie". 'twould be interesting to se,.. if thats what Key-Z
    Productions is selling. Does anybody know? Has anybody ever seen any
    of the footage Tom Wolfe described being shot? I'd be interested to
    see it myself.

34.5I saw it!NYEM1::TURNOFGreetings from the Big AppleMon Jan 21 1991 17:1410
    
    About 15 years ago the Whitney Museum of Art in NYC showed the video
    of the bus trip.  My friend and I went with all these expectations of
    see a great piece of "art".  Even in our altered state of mind, it just
    seemed like someone's home movies (and not too good at that!).  One
    thing that struck us was how dated the movie was!  
    
    Reread the book - your own visual is probably a better "trip".

    That's funny.  Although I've never seen the film, I had heard (perhaps
    from a friend, long ago) exactly what you describe - poor quality home
    movies.  Not surprising, considering their condition at the time.  Also
    heard that there was a similar effort done in England by the Beatles,
    with the well known title of 'Magical Mystery Tour'.  Same results.

       In this Acid Test video, there is supposed to some very rare footage
    of the Dead playing a few songs....they claim the audio portion sounds
    great too.

34.10Planet Drum, New Mickey BookLJOHUB::RILEYYou're twisting my air!Wed Oct 02 1991 12:0311
    
    Heard on the radio on the way in this morning:
    
    Mickey Hart will be in the area on October 24th for a signing of his
    new book "Planet Drum".  The signing will take place at 7:30PM but the
    dam* DJ mumbled the location and I didn't hear it...  Some Mall I'm
    pretty sure.
    
    Anyone hear this?

word mall too.  Something like The Mall at the BU bookstore or the 
BU Bookstore MAll or or or....Date and time are correct.  

Also a new Hart LP called Planet Drum with lotsa old rythym devils on
it....flora, airto, hart and lots more.  Heard some cuts from it and it
was GREAT.

hey now t!ng,

Be sure to tell us how the cd is.  I only heard what was played
on the radio during the interview Hart had on 'Bcn with Parenteau.

    Please do tell...  That one'll surely make it to the top of my B-Day
    list with even a moderate recommendation...  The more I see Mickey at
    the shows, the more this idol-less rhythm monger starts to idolize!!!

Ok, I will, but I was thinking of giving it to Randy for his birthday
along with the book and a ticket to see Planet Drum.  They're going to
be in Berkeley on his birthday (November 16th).  Do you think Randy
would bum if I gave him an opened CD??  If not, I think I'll have to
sneak a listen.

BTW, if this Planet Drum tour is anything like the one I saw in Marin
a couple of years ago, you folks really should check it out!  It was
more like theatre than a concert - very wild!!

Nah; my brother usually does this before giving me CDs at Xmas time!

I have no prob. w/ it.

yeah as we always used to say with the vinyl format:

"we just had to check it out to make sure it didn't skip!"

:) holds true for cds too considering that I bought the "one from the vault"
and it has one disc of Dead and the other disk was the current latest Yes
lp.

i bought the one and only Blind Faith CD for my brother.  Everything was
right about it: the packaging, the song list, the printed material on the
disc, etc.  Then, much to our surprise, we played it and out came 4 Seasons!!
Classical Music on an acid rock 'n' roll album!!!

boy did we crack up!
34.22SKYLRK::TINGGive Peace a Chance!!!Mon Oct 07 1991 16:3118
Well, I snuck a listen to the Planet Drum CD over the weekend, and
I still say "Get It"!!  Although it's hard to remember after two
years, the CD sounds like the concert/play I saw two years ago
by the same name that Mickey and friends put on.  "Friends" include
Sikuru Adepoju, Zakir Hussain, Airto Moreira, Babatunde Olatunji,
Flora Purim, Bruce Langhorne, Gordy Ryan, T.H. "Vikku" Vinayakram,
Molonga Casquelord, Giovanni Hidalgo, Frank Colon, Caryl Ohrbach,
and Jeff Sterling.  The CD features a variety of percussion pieces
and tribal chanting.  There's a little booklet that came with the
CD which describes the various instruments they used for each song.
They range from Portuguese wooden shoes (tamanco) to rain stick to
a Jew's harp.  If you didn't like drums during Dead shows, you'd
love this CD; and if you love drums, you're going to be in heaven!!
It gives you pictures of tigers, and lions, and bears (oh my!! 8-)
and forests and tribes gathered around a bonfire doing their rituals.
A wild untamed (yes, I'm being redundant on purpose) CD no one should
be missing in their collection (DISCLAIMER:  I do not work for Ryko
Disk nor do I have any benefits in posting this free ad for them ;-).

      A co-worker of mine who is seriously into dealing baseball cards just
    handed me a full page ad from a trade mag.  The ad is for ROCKCARDS
    from some company named BROCKUM....anyways, in the ad it talks about
    randomly inserted "Legacy" cards...Series One featuring (you guessed
    it) the Grateful Dead...ten different cards in all...there is also a
    picture of the Jerry card among the cards they show...Now, lets see...
    there are 288 cards in the complete set, 13 cards in a pack,...I wonder
    how long and how much it would cost to get the 10 Dead cards... :-o ?
    
         Remember...card collecting is very addicting...so just say NO!

34.26new dead item on the market!TERAPN::PHYLLISWake, now discover..Fri Dec 27 1991 18:0521
    
    I just got the coolest present! :-)
    
    It's called "Sunshine Daydreams", and it's a Grateful Dead Journal.
    A date book.. but not specific to one year, filled with lots of photos
    and graphics.  All the important Grateful Dead dates are noted, like
    birthdays, and album releases and special shows and stuff.  It's really
    layed out well and looks great!  I almost don't want to write in it
    but that's what it's for.  It was put together by Herb Greene, so a lot
    of the photos will be familiar to you.  But many of them have been
    superimposed with graphics and take on a whole new dimension!
    
    " This book is dedicated to all you deadheads out there: old and new,
    dudes and dudettes, suited and tie-dyed.  Without you the Wheel would
    not go round.  I salute you.
    
    Your pal,
    
    Herb Greene "

Has anyone seen those crazy heat-sensitive T-shirts for sale; you'd touch
them and they'd change color in response to body heat?  Quickly-passing fad,
or fashion statement for the '90s?  I'd like to get one.

My buddy was wearing one once and I accidentally threw my beer on him (it

Howdy Folks;

There's a new shop in Merrimack NH called "Awearness" ... it's on Dan'l
Webster, a couple of miles past the intersection with Continental Blvd.,
just after the Country Gourmet restaurant on the left.  It's actually
in a railroad car on a small section of track.  :^)  Just a few miles
from MKO.

Lotsa neat hippie-ish jewelry, clothing, incense, paintings, pins, candles,
astrology-related material ... the couple who owns it are a lot of fun to talk
to.  Check it out if you get a chance.

My friend Cathy who trades autographs for living just got in an autographed (by
Jerry) copy of American Beauty. She'll be asking a pretty penny for it cause
she says Garcia autographs are very saleable (wonder why); something like $200.
It can be seen in her store: Hierlooms of History in Northboro. 

Also of interest, an autographed copy of "Steal This Book", by Abbie Hoffman, 
in which he scribes: "F*ck Worcester". Think I might grab that one myself. :-)

I picked up the Abbie book, its was pretty tattered, and no she has no more, 
signed or unsigned. 

The American Beauty Album looks like the original Warner release. Its in great
shape on the outside, but the orig sleeve is gone and the album itself has
scratches. Its signed in magic marker in the upper right hand corner. It would
definitely look grate in a frame. Cathy says the san fran collectors are 
getting $300 for Garcia signed albums, so she thinks its a grate deal at $200, 
but since I've never paid more than $20.00 for an album, I wouldn't know.

    Speaking of Abbie, Barnes & Noble in Nashua has a bunch of copies of
    "The Best of Abbie Hoffman" or something like that, only $3.98 for the
    hardcover.  It's in with the cheap books up front.  Mostly selections
    from his other books.

34.714GL::MROGERSMurphy Brown in '92Wed Jun 10 1992 15:2815
    "The Best of Abbie Hoffman" is excerpts from "Revolution for the Hell
    of It," "Woodstock Nation," "Steal This Book," and essays and speeches
    that he made after he came out of hiding in 1979. One of the better
    articles near the end of the book was the article on how he started the
    Save the River committee in upstate New York in the 1970s. At the time
    he was using the name Barry Freed. During one of the committee's
    meetings someone in the audience said that Barry sounded just like the
    old Abbie Hoffman, which made Hoffman more than paranoid at the time.
    
    There are two other books by Hoffman available, "Soon to be a Major
    Motion Picture" about his life underground during the early 70s, and
    "Steal This Urine Test."

Reply-To: ph@pencom.com
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 1992 20:41:08 GMT

Hey Now!!

I recently posted to the net regarding the interest in Grateful
Dead mouse pads. Since then I've received about 80 responses, not
to mention a few responses posted to the net. Many of the people
who wrote said they'd like several pads.

I figured I'd just post back to the net rather than reply to each
person. After all, I can justify a post or two to my employers, but
not a hundred responses. So THANK YOU ALL for your response!!

Well based on the interest we are going to go ahead and put this
thing together! Here's what's up...

The original pad is a way too well known mixture of Aoxomoxoa and
skeletons and candles and mushrooms and... well, you get the idea.
Three of these (14"x20") pads exist and they will never be turned
into a commercial venture <---disclaimer, please note

Several netters warned about copywrite infringement problems. Yeah,
that's kind of scary and we don't need the hassle. A few asked about
what patterns we would use and if we could custom jobs. We decided
to throw this thing open to the world and go with ALL ORIGINAL art!

So here's the plan: We are going to collect artwork from any who
care to donate it. Of these we will mix and match with computer and
camera into one intense design. Or several, I dunno. The final item
will probably be a 10" square of extraordinary magnatude. Plus we're
gonna amass a killer pile of real cool pictures!

If you would like to contribute ORIGINAL artwork, drop me email and
we will work out the details. All artwork must be black and white
ONLY but may be as intricate as you like. The final design will not
just be painted onto the pad, but pressed in relief on the bottom
of a translucient pad. That's why only B&W. If you want to send us
multi colored stuff we will be glad to look at it but will be
unable to use it for pads. You'll also have to sign the art over
to us cause we don't want to get sued by a slew of netheads sometime
down the road (feelin bad)

I'll post more details when I have them.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

On a slightly related note, are there any NeXTheads out there?
I've got a Terrapin Station home directory icon (open and closed)
for NeXT computers only. If you want a copy, drop me mail. Remember,
NeXT ONLY. If you don't have a NeXT, you won't even be able to read
the mail message so don't waste your computer's time.

Oh, and the icon's monochrome, so don't get your hopes up if
you have a turbocolorslab and/or NeXTDimension.

    Sorry but I don't sign the rights to my art away.  If they want to
    *use* my art, fine, but they want all rights to my art, therefore
    denying me the rights to use it.  Which would mean, legally, we
    couldn't make V3 shirts.  Plus they want originals, implying not
    photocopies.  I plan to keep the originals in case it's needed for a
    future printing of shirts.
    
    At least that's the way I interpret it.

    I don't think they understand copyrights.  You could grant them
    permission to use your art, in writing, effectively granting them a 
    'license' (like we do with software).  That would make it safe for them
    to use it, without giving up your ownership of the work.  This is done
    all the time with everything from GDM stuff to Mickey Mouse (who is one
    of the tightest, yet one of the most pervasive)...
    
    Of course, this assumes that your work is copyrighted in the first
    place, which most personal art/prose/poetry/software is not.
    The owner of a trademark (tm),  registered trademark (r), or
    copyrighted material (c) can always grant permission to someone else to
    use it...with or without any royalties ($)... ;-)
    
    ...then again, it's probably not worth the effort of convincing them
    that it's ok to do that...they sound a little paranoid.  sigh.

    Yup, the 1977 copyright laws say there's an implied copyright as long
    as it's signed and dated.  Then once you do this lower-level copyright
    you can register it with the copyright office.  This probably offers
    the owner a higher level of protection since the copyright office's
    word is better than yours.  Another method of copyrighting that has
    worked in courts is to send yourself a copy of the material by
    registered mail and leave it sealed.
    
    I'm not copyrighting my design since I borrowed many copyrighted Dead
    symbols.  Copyrighting this may cause some trouble.

34.86spewing at the mouth...SUBPAC::MAGGARDWashaUffitze &amp; drive me to FirenzeFri Oct 09 1992 16:3836
When I wrote my thesis, the 'Cornell University Guide to Thesis Writing'
said basically this:

If you write on the piece of work:
        - the copyright symbol-- a 'c' enclosed in a circle
        - the word 'Copyright' followed by the current year and
          your full legal name
        - and the words 'All Rights Reserved'
like:
        (c) Copyright 1992 by Jeffrey G. Maggard.  All Rights Reserved.
        
then you are entitled to protection level one under the copyright laws.
This law gives you and only you exclusive rights to your work.  In order for
someone else to use your work for a 'monetary gain,' they must first get
your 'expressed written consent.'  If they were to use your work for a
monetary gain without your permission, then you would be entitled to sue
for any lossed income on your part, and/or a reasonable amount of their
earnings (i.e. anything you could get out of them).  

Level one copyrights do not allow you to sue for punative damages (i.e. you
couldn't get millions from them because they were bad people and stole your
ideas).  For that you would have to file a formal copyright with the US 
Copyright office.  I believe the fee is $60.  I think the office is in DC, 
area code 202.

The best non-official Copyright is to send an identical copy of the original 
work to yourself by certified mail through the US postal service.  It would
probably be a good idea to write the copyright line on it while your at it!  

...I know I shoulda been a lawyer...

    Howdy, Bob White,
    
    I suspect JC's right - I've been programming for 15 years and that's
    how it's always been...I've always been pretty anal about making sure
    the copyright was there.  It has to be on the first page of the module,
    preferrably the first line, too.  It's only been in the latter half of
    that time that there was anything except "(c)" available on dumb vt
    keyboards...of course you have to include the word "Copyright" and
    the year of release on that line too, so the "(c)" is a bit
    superfluous.  (A 'bit' superfluous....arr arr. ;-)

Ken, I think it's Noteworthy.  I actually ordered a catalog back around

Well, I'll be the stick in the mud.

I bought it and was pretty disappointed.  The only musical performance on it
that is not available commercially in other medium is "She's an Artist", which
IS really nice.

While all the old video stuff is cute, I'd much rather see some more intact
footage of PigPen, Keith, Donna, Tom Constanten, etc.  I find the jumpiness
disconcerting...

The Infrared Roses computer generated stuff is ok, too.

Frankly, I'd have rather spent my $20.00 on a couple of CDs.

I bought it.  Like Prob, I wish the Pigpen stuff was just plain "let me
see pigpen sing damnit and stop with all this eMpTV quick cuts shit."

But in any event, I bought it just for the acoustic "She Belongs To Me".
It's got Bob, Phil, and Jerry sitting on chairs playing it.  Bob and Jerry
trade off on the lyrics.  Ahhhh...Jerry doing acoustic Dylan -- my idea
of heaven!

    I bought it, too, and was disappointed. The quick cuts in "Hard To
    Handle" are distracting and too fast. There are a couple of scenes
    where you can't tell who is in them! The one scene with the rocking
    chair looks like it may be Owlsley but even on pause I couldn't tell.
    
    It's nice to know that there is this type of old footage around in such
    good shape, though. Just wish they'd make entire clips available of it,
    dammit!
    
    The Egyptian stuff was real nice, and I would have enjoyed seeing more
    of this footage than the computer-generated graphics that close it.

Hey now,

    Recently I was contacted by a friend of a friend in Indianapolis, who
    is marketing Grateful Dead mouse pads, and University Logo mousepads.
    These include both mousepads and wristrests (for the prevention of carpel
    tunnel syndrome).  I got the following information in the mail:


    Grateful Dead Mouse Pads for your computer.  For details on designs
    available send a #10 self-addressed stamped envelope to:

	    R&J Associates

    I received photocopies of their Dead pads, which included a Skull&Roses
    mousepad, a Steal Your Face mousepad, dancing skeletons wristrest,
    a dancing bears desk set (pad, wristrest, 4 coasters).  I didn't see any
    prices listed, however.....

    Check it out if interested!

that's probably because large venues apparently take a huge chunk of the
merchandise revenue, thereby causing the prices to be jacked up.  at least
this is according to the response i got from the person in charge of Phish
merchandise when i asked about why the prices at shows had recently risen so   
much.

I gotta agree!  I want to receive the GDM catalog etc...   and I think
it was ordering Dick's Picks that got me the catelog...  

It's the coincidence of also recieveing a National Parks solicitation that got

34.142at least, that's what this guy told me....SMURF::PETERTrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyWed Dec 07 1994 04:1615
    I think it had something to do with when Phil went to the six string
    bass.  For subtle sonic reasons the Phil Zone just wasn't cutting 
    it when he was on Bob's left.  The addition of the two bass strings
    blended in this odd way with Bobs caterwauling and caused odd feelings
    of paranoia to everyone in the Phil Zone.  But they noticed that the
    effect was diminished whenever Phil moved closer to the center, and
    disappeared entirely when he stood behind or to Bob's right.
    So, rather than stand behind Bob the whole show, Jerry gave up being 
    Bob's right hand man and they took the position we are so familiar with 
    today. Oddly enough, though I certainly saw them earlier than
    this, I don't ever remember noticing the change.  Hmmm, I wonder 
    what that says about me???

Didn't know what topic to to throw this note under but I guess here is as good
as anywhere else. :-)

I was looking thru the March issue of "Mountain Biking" and when I got
to the back cover I saw that Gary Fisher is coming out with a Grateful
Dead bike.

The ad reads:

"WHAT A LONG, STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN"

Twenty-one years to be exact. That's how long Gary Fisher's been in pursuit 
of the ever better mountain bike. Blazing the trail toward enlightment, 
it's no surprise he met other legends, like the Grateful Dead. Gary's latest 
design, the very limited edition Grateful Dead Hoo Koo E Koo, is a tribute 
to their mutual quest for greater feats, off the Golden Road.

The Hoo Koo E Koo features a TIG-welded, double-butted Gro-Moly frame USA 
built and backed with a lifetime warranty. Hand-picked goods like Rock 
Shox's Quadra 21 and faster, shorter rotating GripShift SRT-600 shifters 
keep you truckin' off road.

Visit your Fisher dealer to see the Dead bike, live. But do it fast. This 
is one Dead tour that wont last forever.

(there is a picture of the bike, and also a picture of Gary Fisher and the
caption under Gary Fisher is: "I collaborated with Prairie Prince, the 
Dead's Official artist, to design original "bone art" that any off-roading
DeadHead will dig")

btw..
I havent seen this in the bike shop yet, but I believe the normal Hoo Koo E
Koo is $780 (according to bike mags) so I expect this model to be slightly more.

    They didnt have any Grateful Dead Hoo Koo E Koo models in yet.
    
    I asked how much more they would be from the "standard" model of
    the Hoo Koo E Koo and the guy said it would be about $150. more.
    I guess they are a limited edition and about 1500 of them will be produced.

Though I am a big fan of the Dead, put names on boats that come directly 
from lyrics or set lists, I don't need to buy a Gary Fisher bike because it's
got a Dead theme. 
	Robyn and I went shopping for her bike last summer or sping. We saw the
Gary Fisher offerings in several places and the prices appeared low. But what
I kept seeing on Gary Fisher bikes was high end finishing components before 
upgrading the more basic components. We saw front suspension systems on bikes 
with low end gear sets. I really got a negative opinion of Gary Fishe rbikes and 
wouldn't be inclined to buy one. 
	I do however like Fisher skis, but it ain't the same Fisher. I can't 
remember skiing on Olin skis, which have the Dead icons on them, but I'm not 
running to try them. 
	Now if there's an offering of a tie-dyed spinnaker, and we can afford 
it, you might see one on our boat. Now Neil Pryde sails are not in the high 
price range and I've seen them win races. Hmm, have to watch how those sails 
hold up and watch for the Dead to appear there. 

	Actually we have a Neil Pryde Dacron cruising genny. 

	I'll bet there's a Fishe rthat makes sails

seems pretty silly for me.  for $150, you could do something a bit more
worthwhile to a bike than decorating it.  i think the stealie on my mtn bike
probably only set me back about $1.

    October mountain is a real nice place.  So nice in fact, that around
    6/1/96 I will be the proud owner of 10 wooded acres that abut the north 
    side of October Mtn State Forest.  My access road is not maintained,
    there is no electricity nor is there water/sewer.  Just the way it
    was meant to be I do believe.
    
    It was named October Mountain for obvious reasons seeing the majority
    of it's growth is hardwood.

34.163Some Mala resources.FOUNDR::OUIMETTEEyes of the WorldTue Dec 05 1995 20:1416
    	Debess,
    
    You can find nice Mala beads at the Mustard Seed, in Portsmouth. Give
    'em a call before making the trip, to make sure they have the kind you
    want in stock (small hand-held, or 108-bead necklace style...) Their
    Phone # is 431-7333.
    
      Dharmacrafts should be at 617-492-4739 (that #'s a couple years old).
    
      And finally, there's a really nice Yoga retreat in Colorado which has
    a small giftshop & carries malas, if nothing else works out. Shoshoni,
    at 303-642-0116.
    
    		Happy mala-hunting....

    My order from GDM included a free Grateful Dead 1996 calendar.
    
    I already have one, so the extra is free to anybody who can pick it up 
    in ZKO, or can arrange a suitably convenient bier stop...
