Please don't get me started on the Grateful Dead! (now known as "The Other 
Ones")

I work at the MCI Center in Washington, DC and had the pleasure of 
encountering the "Dead Heads" while working the concert. On the whole, they 
were very nice people, but I haven't been around that much marijuana since 
high school! And I've never been around so much nitrous oxide! Every employee 
at MCI had the contact of a lifetime! Not caring for anything mind altering, 
it was hard to accept the fact that I and my cohorts were seriously "high." I 
told my daughter of the event and she laughed on the phone hysterically!

Musically, however, I did hear some things that I really did like. There was 
some very good music playing when I had a chance to listen. I just don't get 
the devoted following though. People came with one dog and left with another. 
The only thing I did not like was the dogs running loose in the streets of DC 
with leashes trailing behind them. Thank goodness there were only a few. We 
had people trying to bring full size kegs into the building! If someone 
understands the "Dead Head" philosophy, please let me know. I prefer not to 
judge, but rather take a "live and let live" approach to the whole thing. I 
don't think I want to participate in another concert event though!

I guess you must have stated your dislike for the Greatful Dead before I 
came on the list because I don't remember reading that little tid bit of 
information. I'm not big on the Dead either and have never figured out the 
attraction. Jerry Garcia is kind of cool looking though(after the grey came 
in, his early photos with the black hair are pretty scary.)
