What can I say? My love language is cooking delicious food for my friends and sharing in the joy that comes from experiencing the spontaneous tapestry weaving of improvisational live music like that of the Grateful Dead and their contemporaries and torch bearers.

I have greatly enjoyed piecing together “the rig” of audio & visual equipment that powers our backyard shindigs, which are truly the next best thing to being there live. For some of us it’s the only way we’ll ever experience the cultural phenomenon of a live Dead show (or any show at all really, given the expense and logistics of a night out these days, sheesh!).

Whether you come for the music, or the long strange pull of community, thank you for a real good time!
