“I'm gonna to sing you a hundred verses in ragtime, I know this song it ain't never gonna end. I'm gonna march you up and down along the county line, Take you to the leader of a band.”
Hey now, catching up… Easy to lose time, wasting time. The life of a Tour Vendor Deadhead. Fun struggle. at Least we can say 2 shows in. “It never got weird enough for me” in the words of Hunter S. Thompson. Its still as big of a challenge and as fun of an adventure as its ever been. SO, Miami was at the Filmore Jackie Gleason Theater. The normal setup starts at the Botanical Gardens right near the Filmore. Then onto the Show. The Filmore and Miami beach you can image in very nice. Parking is a challenge. Your feeding a meter. But all over experience is always good and festive.. Usually to start the Tour I take time to settle in. Miami was the perfect opportunity to sit back enjoy the show and watch it all come together. Then onto Orlando... After the Show traffic was just crazy. .The road systems are all being mix in allot of people live in south Florida. We left at 12:30 am to head to Orland find a rest stop on the Florida Turnpike and fall out... Leaving Miami was a tough stuck in traffic on the 95 connectors for an hour. Then we drove and hour and a half . crashed woke up and headed to Bob Car theater. Orland was a success on all levels. . Show was great. The vending is in full swing. Just now settling in. Super stoked for tonight at Janus Landing... St Petersburg Florida.. Famous place.. College area.. its going to be rocking good time.. Its still impresses me the durable people the Dead heads are .. Particularly the vendors. Its nice to see in 2020 people still interested in making America a Great adventure. A shout out to Mark and Selena from Master Tees which im going to nominate them as the kindest vendors of the Year award. Greg and Amber from Flower lane Screen Printing making some of the newest roots inspired apparel. Shannon (pins) being the person to always put a smile on your face. Chief for bringing his hand carved masterpieces with Heather and her patches and who can forget Pete, for still pushing the envelope and going for it. Many more will be mentioned in the future. These are the consistent current tour people.. Always a revolving group with some that are just staples that I see at the shows. Love & Light to all. Lovelight to all.. Me and Sarah feel fortunate to have the opportunity.
