I went more to see the folks who, 'travel with the dead' and did not go into the show. I was offered weed by a guy on a skateboard as I was hanging out in 'the village'. He had it taped to the bottom of the board. I never did understand those folks that traveled with the dead. Once Garcia died I guess they stopped traveling.  |
Well, you must have been at Philadelphia in the summer of '87 or '89. I find it odd that someone offered you drugs, actually. Was he actually trying to sell them? That seems far more probable.
As far as following the Dead was concerned...well, if one were a "Trustafarian" going to somewhere like Swarthmore/Bard/Antioch/Reed/Hampshire, etc., and you're some pretty boy (and if you're got a trust fund and go to one of those schools, you almost certainly are)...well, following the Dead would be a smorgasbord of drugs and sex for you. Now the "Trustafarians" follow Phish, Widespread Panic, etc., and they still exist. (I do NOT like these people..) That's just one example..
The only outdoor concert I went to that rained cats and dogs was actually a Dead one in '90.
