went up to Hartford last night with Tim to try to do some promotion for the Cafe 9 shows, but all i can say is the crowd that goes to the Dead shows are all, for the most part, washed up and drugged up. Its not like im new to these crowds, but last nights just seemed more pathetic than ever. Hope the Breakfast dont appeal to too many of these kids. Of all the music scenes to set an example you think this would be the one. Im all about havin a good time, but half the people commin out of the show were trippin so hard and so messed up, they looked like the flyer scared them (or they were pissed it was no longer \'psychedelic\' breakfast) when i approached them with it. And of course you see them all over the ground too. I just didnt get it. And there was about honestly 50 people selling \'veggie\' this and \'veggie that\' outside the gate...and everyone of them was yelling for about 2 hours to sell their shit. nothing more annoying. Real jobs arent that bad. The Dead should just face the fact that things aint what they used to be, and the little \'hippie culture\' they set out to create has just dwindled into a reason to abuse drugs and be a hippocritical lot rat that loves to complain about the system but are too f\'d up all the time to do anything about it. Music is best.
PS . wolfie..this does not mean i dont want you bringin your cooler of sam adams and burritos to cafe 9 though.
