On the Road, again

Looking like this spring will be as busy as any ever experienced. Work naturally picks up, Yale assignments coming in, and The Dead are making things crazy by touring ! I like it ! A flight to LA is booked for mid May. Meeting up with a friend and trucking up to Shoreline Amphitheater for my first show at that venue. But before all that, still toying (more seriously by the hour) with getting a ticket and a buddy to go up to Worcester.
And all the while there's images to scan. Requests for a couple of '89 shows have come in giving me the excuse to exercise my new Epson V750. I'm not thrilled with the hardware, but happy with the results. And shuggar, I have been meaning to get those Wiffenpoof Aniversary Concert shots posted to my PShelter site. When the hell can I get that done, oh ya, in my sleep maybe ..
NYC Auto Show tomorrow ! I need the city: best one day break I can think of is a trip into Manhattan for fun on a (dry) spring day.... More on that to follow, in images, maybe on Facebook just for the hellofit ....

Projects

Now that the YDS project is on 'film' and composite creation is a few weeks away, it's onto the next long list of projects. Always, there's Dead scanning to do. By request I'm pulling out the Giant's Stadium June 19, 1995 show to select a 'best of' image for Lee.
The Hartford 28 May 1977 Grateful Dead show comes out this week. And I'm thrilled to be a part of the CD packaging art. I haven't seen a copy yet though I trust the great folks at Rhino did a wonderful job putting out what is not arguably my favorite show (that I attended). It's been ages since I've played my recording of 5-28-77. I can't wait to hear Bertha, since I was unable to get the decks (2) started in time. The lights were still fully up when the Band came on stage and began blowing us all away. Enough reminiscing, pulling out some slides to scan !
