Steal Your Ship
a painting i made..some of the silver paint reflects as white when i photographed it..enjoy!
We went in to the city on a field of 7 on Jerrys birthday 08/01. Anyone in a tyedye got in for free. The exibit was cool, only much smaller then I expected. They had more at Alpine Valley in 2002 on display.
In the NYHS store lots of Dead stuff for sale; books, t-shirts, coffee cups & water bottles, even all the GD Road Trips, but without the bonus CDs.
That looks awesome!
...extended thru September 5
Enjoy http://goo.gl/kjZV

The BBC did a somewhat trite feature story on the ongoing exhibit in NYC (4/27?), The Grateful Dead and their San Fransisco friends have come to to be emblematic of a time when LSD was legal till the end of days when deadheads started smacking each other.
I would hope there is a positive story theme to be gleamed from a trip to the the exhibits.
What a long, strange feeling to smile and cry at the same time. It's worth the trip.
I won't get to see this exhibit, but I am wondering about Rosebud. I saw Rosebud and some of Jerry's other guitars (Wolf II, Top Hat and Lightning Bolt) at the R&R HOF last year and I am wondering what they put in Rosebud's place there. Must say, Jerry's guitars were a major wow factor at the HOF for this visitor.
Sidenote, I work in a small history museum and if the room dimensions are small (someone noted 20'x40'), a cross-country trek to see this exhibit is likely not worth the while. If in NYC, definitely. I would wait a couple years for the UCSC folks to get the collection in order and create a full-scale exhibit. That archive must be dripping with "stuff," as we say in the museum biz.
My daughters and I saw the show today and my older girl and I really liked it, younger "bored." There was some very cool and nice stuff there but it could have been bigger. I was also disappointed that the rest of the museum was closed for reno.
It would have been a good counterpart to a very American band, to see all the very American artifacts they have!
Teachers-- show your ID and get in for just $9. Union card, etc.
So weak. come on, there were certain things that was cool but way too small, and not even a dedicated room to show the movie?
There would be more interesting stuff at any oldschool deadhead's apt.
Very dissapointed, lame and very superficial



do you have another schedule exhibit for this 2011? I am interested to watch those artworks. I am currently working as an Invisible Fence coordinator here in Tampa. And my husband is working their in NY City. He said to me that He find your exhibit wonderful and interested.
Thanks'
