In the beautiful Croton Point Park, an hour north of New York City, Terrapin Tapes put together a festival for East Coast Deadheads. It was more than just a gathering of GD-influenced bands, which it was indeed as well. It was a chance for people to live together for a few days, and nourish a common dream. Besides the obvious non-stop partying, there was much discussion about where we're headed, and reflections on where we'd been that "afternoon, long ago."

Steve Silberman, David Gans, and I (l to r) shared a 'rustic' cabin at the park. It was pretty hilarious at times. Three older heads from the San Francisco area, coping with the withering heat and humidity at a gathering of mainly much-younger people used to this kind of weather. Since all three of us are incredibly opinionated, and always right, you can bet we had some interesting late-night discussions about the state of the Deadhead world. |

Mr. Silberman's Sunday Morning Service | |
|
Deadhead author Steve Silberman led a discussion about the state of the Deadhead community, and where it might be headed. Even after the all-night drum circles, about 20+ people dragged themselves into the rec-hall early Sunday morning. The guy playing bagpipes outside was certainly memorable! |
John Dwork | |
John Dwork, of Dupree's Diamond News, is resting between sets here. Much discussion during the weekend was swirling around "What's up with DDN?" Everyone hopes for the best for this important community magazine. |

Thanks Bob! | |

Bob from Terrapin Tapes worked practically round-the-clock for the entire weekend, and still maintained an excellent positive attitude, even when we inadvertantly locked him out of the cabin Friday night! Sorry Bob. Notice the boat on the Hudson River coming out of Bob's left ear. |
Ken Hays | |
Ken Hays, the tireless promoter, and Terrapin Tapes owner, is shown here in the classic pose for the weekend: talking into the radio. He kept threatening to turn the radio off and go dancing; I hope he got the chance to enjoy himself. Job Well Done Ken. Thanks to all at Terrapin Tapes. |
