We chatted for quite a while and smoked stuff. It was way cool.

I was geared to go (was only gonna make it for the 2nd night anyway) when we found out about people being turned away and not allowed in, so we gave our tickets to some friends who thought they might be able to make it in (they didn't).

Autzen Stadium - Eugene, OR
Portland Meadows - Portland, OR
Shoreline Ampitheatre - Mountainview, CA (best venue)
Cal Expo Center - Sacramento, CA
UNLV Silver Bowl - Las Vegas, NV
Blockbuster Sky Ampitheatre - Phoenix, AZ
McNichols Arena - Denver, CO
Rosemont Horizon - Rosemont, IL
World Music Theatre - Tinley Park, IL
Soldier Field - Chicago, IL
Deer Creek Ampitheatre - Noblesville, IN (best town for a Dead show!)
Buckeye Lake - Buckeye, OH
The Palace - Auburn Hills, MI
Convention Center - Cleveland, OH
RFK Stadium - Washington, DC
If there's others, I don't remember them. I had a hard enough time remembering as is.
