CUBENSIS cali's GD tribute experience

2009-11-05T02:32:48Z

Hey there,

I was surfing the tribes and thought you might want to join my tribe for the band Cubensis cause if your into music ( why I'm asking cause it seems you are) then you'll dig the sounds of Cubensis the only Jerry Garcia approved Grateful Dead tribute act.

The group has its craft so well refined that even members of the Grateful Dead themselves, such as keyboardists Vince Welnick and Tom Constanten, have appeared on stage and performed with these live music interpreters. Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir praised the band, saying, “Just love what you do...and of course, you do!”

The band doesn't reproduce the Grateful Dead's songs note for note---though it would be hard for most listeners to tell. The Dead's music is highly improvisational, with rock, country and jazz influences. Cubensis members say there's room for interpretation while staying true to the original. “It’s all about tapping into the same inspirational flow,” says Cubensis guitarist Craig Marshall. Dead guru Jerry Garcia granted Marshall permission to recreate the Dead’s music, as long as he "did a good job" of it. “I told him we played all Grateful Dead songs,” recounts Marshall, to which Garcia replied, in mock surprise, “Oh yeah? So do we!”

Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California

2009-09-14T03:27:21Z

Hi Family,

"And if my words did glow, with the gold of sunshine. And if my tunes were played on the harp unstrung..." Please help these words to ripple... ripple becomes a wave... wave becomes a tsunami... pretty soon my priests/priestesses are out of jail.

Right now there are two competing signature drives to put Cannabis legalization initiatives on the ballot in California in November 2010.

One is found at www.taxcannabis2010.org

The other is found at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org

Please look carefully at the text of both laws (the text of each is finalized) and make up your own mind which one you support.

I am supporting www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org because our law will protect Cannabis users from discrimination in

healthcare, employment, and housing. It is a full legalization measure for industrial hemp and recreational cannabis which will restore full human rights to Hemp farmers and Cannabis users all across California. Of course supplying Cannabis to children will remain illegal just as it is today. Driving vehicles under the influence will remain illegal just as it is today. Cannabis users will still be fired from their jobs if they show up to work impaired.

There are two parts to our plan. The first part is to publicly post and personally distribute our "Freedom Lover's Call to Arms" in order to recruit volunteers. This document is available here-

www.imgur.com/dbU83

The second part of our plan is to ask everyone who volunteers to make a pledge for how many signatures they can collect in

the next 30 days or so. 15-30 signatures is a good number. If enough volunteers show this level of commitment we can succeed. You can probably get that number from your family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors without having to solicit in public too much. This is an "out of the closet" movement. We will have to proudly advocate human rights for responsible, honest, hard-working Cannabis smokers in order to convince legitimate people to support us. I can supply stickers equivalent to each persons pledge number. These stickers can be used to generate interest and be given to voters who sign the petition. Here is the sticker design-

www.imgur.com/2cjvb

Feel free to distribute and use these images. Just don't copyright them.

We have 145 days in order to get the number of signatures that we need. Our petition is hot off the press on 9/11 and we

have started collecting the first signatures yesterday 9/12.

We are polling 56% public support for Cannabis legalization in California which menas that this is an initiative which is not doomed. Its time has finally arrived; we are at the tipping point right now. Now is the time to do this and to do it right. We may only get one chance. If a law which is not exactly what we want is implemented then we may lose our critical mass and our ability to set it right.

I believe that less adults will smoke cannabis after it is legal. This is the case in the Netherlands where it has been

available over-the-counter for 30 years yet only half as many citizens (percentage-wise) smoke as do citizens here. My economics professor has taught for years that prohibition has not succeeded in decreasing usage by increasing penalties. Instead it has destroyed lives and families without substantial benefit to society. After legalization hard-drug usage will decrease due to a "separation of the markets," a decline in the price of Cannabis relative to hard-drugs, and the restoration of honesty and common sense in drug education. Violence, thievery, and the incarceration of honest people will decrease as well. I also believe that a well regulated market will decrease the availability and appeal of cannabis to children. In fact teenage Cannabis use in California has fallen steadily since the passage of Proposition 215. Furthermore the adults who smoke Cannabis after legalization will be better able appreciate the majesty of nature in peace and unity without learning to fear and disrespect authority figures. This will be better for their spirits and better for society. Finally the human rights of legitimate medical Cannabis patients will be better protected than they are today. Legalizing Cannabis will create a safer, healthier, and more humane California for us all to live in.

If you want to help us in any way please contact the CCI campaign at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or write me at
deep_space_underground@yahoo.com I give you my encouragement to modify this message if necessary and distribute it to anyone who might help on any forum or by any mechanism.

Love,
-Fully Committed

Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski is No. 1 threat at Washington club

Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski is No. 1 threat at Washington club
BY RICH SCHAPIRO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Sunday, November 9th 2008, 12:06 AM

Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski
A drunken Jersey City councilman was arrested for urinating on a crowd of concertgoers from the balcony of a Washington nightclub, police and club sources said Saturday.

Councilman Steven Lipski was caught relieving himself onto several revelers at the 9:30 Club during a concert by a Grateful Dead tribute band Friday night, club sources said.

"He was very drunk," the source said, noting that it wasn't the first time Lipski had caused a ruckus at the popular concert venue.

SEE: SPITZER WON'T FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES
"We've dealt with this man before," the source added. "He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."

Lipski, 44, was hauled out of the club about 9:50 p.m. after staffers spotted him in the act on the concert hall's second-floor balcony and called the cops.

The crass councilman, who is serving his second term in office since getting elected in 2001, was charged with simple assault, police said.

Attempts to reach Lipski were unsuccessful Saturday night. His aide, Irina Zaki, said the councilman was in Washington Friday night, but she had no knowledge of his arrest.

The lurid incident marks the second time in recent years that a Jersey City pol was caught with his pants down.

Photos showing Jerramiah Healy, still a councilman at the time, naked and passed out on his front stoop were widely circulated in 2004 days before he was elected mayor.

Here's another story on the Golden Shower Incident:

Cubensis and fans trashed by Easy Reader reviewer

2008-06-22T16:32:07Z

A personal message from Craig Marshall

I'd like you to read something, probably the most vile piece of "scumbag journalism" I've ever seen.

In the South Bay Easy Reader, reporter "Ryan Beachkofski" wrote a review of our recent show at the Lighthouse, in which he denegrates Cubensis, the music of the Grateful Dead, and worst of all, he rants rudely and insultingly about you, the fans.

It's shocking, actually, to think that any one person would stoop to writing such trash, whether he liked the band or not. This man, (who is not listed as a staffer) even has the gall to put down others in his profession who have written good reviews of the band.

In fact, you can't really call his drivel a "review" because he doesn't critique our performance, but rather he hurls insults and assults the dignity of our faithful fans while maliciously tearing into our performance and your attendance. It's unbelievable!
Read this garbage and see what you think

Here's what he wrote:

Live Music Review
Cubensis
by Ryan Beachkofski
Published June 19, 2008 in the Easy Reader

Cubensis, a self-proclaimed Grateful Dead uber-tribute band, needs an editorial kick in the hemp shorts for three specific reasons:

First, a band could be the finest tribute band on earth with the ability to cover trademarked songs from the originators without a glitch or misstep. Fine. I have no argument that Cubensis may play Grateful Dead music to undeniable perfection. I wouldn't even know because I race to the tuner every time I hear one of the hillbilly heroin-induced-wannabe-jazz car crashes make it to air play.

Secondly, I just don't get it.

Finally, I feel that Cubensis' following is bad for business.

It's a shocker, I know. But Cubensis has a 40-member hard core following that heels when the band comes a calling. Every band wishes for that blessing and every house booking agent knows that phenomenon is too good to turn away.

The standard envelope for four sets of anything, no matter the number of members in a band, is $300 flat, unless the band has a name or an in-pocket following that plans to buy drinks. Cubensis asks for north of $1K.

After my 10-minute punishment that put me in front of this band, I realized a few things about their groupies:

1) You're not helping the cause of saving water by refusing to shower. You only contribute to methane gas emissions that cause global warming. 2) Is it absolutely necessary to immediately remove your flip flops when entering an establishment that serves food and drink? And 3) don't show up high. That's what the bar is for. Pony up those few pieces of silver and buttons you keep in that silly pouch you made from hemp rope and sunshine and invest in some commerce.

I took note from a reliable source after leaving the musical water boarding and asked the employee of another club about this band and its following: "You're right about the asking price and the patronage. They want a thousand bucks and the hippies don't spend a dime on drinks. The band gets the take at the door and we get left with bupkis and hours of mopping up after the blackfoots."

In essence, I don't care if Bill Walton and the other hundreds of thousands of VW van-driving bad dancers see color in the music. I am utterly disappointed in my colleagues that inscribe "Cubensis plays with the same laid-back mastery as the Real McCoy."

That is just plain promotional banter for hire.

Cubensis is just an extension of the original Grateful Dead, whose music drove me to madness at UCSB (where the free-range Dead Heads account for the lingering odor of BO and patchouli oil). If you love it, great, please keep it to yourself. I, on the other hand, will practice my civic duty and choose not to choose. And get your carbon monoxide billowing vans a tune up. Forget "Saving the Rainforest," as your bumper sticker denotes. Save oxygen by getting that piece of #$@%! off the road. ER
--------------------------------------------------

Wow! I ask you, how does that make you feel, to read this hateful, intolerant attack on our scene in general and our fans in particular? I'm sickened, and incensed that this poisonous rubbish was allowed to be published. It harms our reputation, it might very well cost us business, it defames our faithful fans and likens our performance to a torture session.

I've read many a review of Cubensis shows by reputable, sincere journalists; most are favorable, some aren't, but this goes way too far! This hostile and possibly libelous smear campaign is not even a true review of our show! As he says, he only stayed 10 minutes, and barely acknowledges the music other than to rant about how much he has disliked it for years. This is not a review, it's a personal and very negative attack on all of us.

Those that know me also know that I rarely get angry...but this is different. I want to strike back and protest against this sickening and unacceptable criticism, and I hope you'll join me.

If you're as shocked as I am, I'm asking you to take a moment and express your feelings to several editors at the Easy Reader newspaper. I think a retraction is in order; you may have other, better responses, which I encourage.

You might mention how much you enjoy the performances, especially at the Lighthouse, and how Grateful Dead music has made your life more enjoyable, and how offended you are by the reporter's depiction of those in attendance.

There's several ways to respond:

1. Click here to see the story as it appeared, with a box at the end of the article to send a letter to the editor;
2. Email publisher Kevin Cody by clicking kcody@easyreader.info ;
3. Email entertainment editor Bondo Wyszpolski by clicking
entertainment@easyreader.info .
4. Write the reporter directly (he's too gutless to provide his email address) addressed to:
Ryan Beachkofski
c/o Easy Reader
PO Box 427
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
5. Call the Easy Reader, ask for an editor and politely but firmly express your displeasure: 310.372.4611.

To the extent that you are able to participate in this, I want to thank you. You might think that this idiot's opinion is not worth getting upset about, but I think it's important for us to stick up for things we believe in and enjoy.

I'm outraged by this "reporter's" despicable opinion, and this is my own personal response to being maligned.

Craig Marshall

Free mystery novel Grateful Dead book available! ( Sponsored by author)

2008-05-22T08:42:17Z

I am Kearney Street Books' publicist. Kearney Street Books is a small, independent publishing house which focuses on books about music. Currently, we are sponsoring free book discussions for Gary McKinney's new mystery novel, "Slipknot." "Slipknot" is a mystery featuring County Sheriff Gavin Pruitt, Deadhead.
Set the year before Jerry Garcia's death, "Slipknot" takes place in picturesque rural Washington, and revolves around the murder of a politically prominent environmentalist - who was going to decide whether a local forest is logged or not. The future of the local logging industry is dependent upon the decision - but so are the lives of the wildlife within the forest.
Gavin must figure out who the killer is, all the while quoting classic Grateful Dead songs, taking up jamming sessions, and dealing with his daughter's new "hippie" boyfriend.
If you are interested in learning more about "Slipknot," there are limited free copies available. If enough people are interested, a discussion group can be started.
This isn't spam - we just want to get the word out about a great book featuring the Grateful Dead. Since the music can be downloaded for free, why not allow the same in literature - except this offer is available for a limited time.
(Again, this isn't spam - there will only be a few offers made at similar sites devoted the Dead or their new bands)
You can also read the entire first chapter of "Slipknot" for free at Kearney Street Books' website, kearneystreetbooks.com
This book is available for ANYBODY. All we ask is that if you like the book, please do some promotion for it - guerrilla marketing style. We are a small, independent business and we would just like you to tell friends, blog a post about it, put a review on amazon.com, or whatever you have time for.
Thank you so much. You can contact me here or at msclement@yahoo.com

GOODSTOCK 2007 - This Summer's Event

2007-04-13T01:40:43Z

Hi Everyone -
I just wanted to pop in at let you know about Goodstock 2007, if you haven't already heard. It's being produced by Artie Kornfeld (Woodstock 69) and Doug McClurg, and from what I'm seeing already, it just might be the place to go this summer. I've pasted their release below. If you're interested - pass this along. It could be the music event of this century.

I know they're also looking for tribute bands. Bands and soloacts should send all presskits and inquiries to allan@retro69.net, not Goodstock.
Hope to see everyone there -
Joanne

Woodstock - Preservation Archives
www.woodstockpreservation.org

Goodstock 2007: LAST CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE REAL WOODSTOCK 69!

GOODSTOCK 2007 MUSIC FESTIVAL. 3 DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC
FROM THE CREATORS OF WOODSTOCK and the MIND GARAGE

GOODSTOCK 2007 will bring together the most amazing 60's and 70's bands from coast to coast for a 3-day festival. Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Starship, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Mercy and dozens of others, including the Electric Prunes, will reunite for this musical extravaganza. Experience the music, rock culture, peace and brotherhood of that era! Bands and fans - from Boston to Berkeley - will finally experience the musical event that they have waited decades for since Woodstock!

“I have watched the attempts to copy Woodstock by others, “ comments Artie Kornfeld, Goodstock 2007 promoter and co-creator of Woodstock 1969. "To me, these were over-commercialized attempts to take a great event and use it to rip-off rock and peace lovers. I consider Goodstock 2007 to be the first real attempt to have another 3 days of peace and music."

Goodstock 2007 is produced and promoted by Larry McClurg, of 60's band Mind Garage, and Artie Kornfeld, famed music industry song writer, manager, producer, and most notable as co-creator of the 1969 WOODSTOCK MUSIC AND ART FAIR - rock history's greatest 'happening' - on Yasgur's farm in upstate New York.

With nearly 50 bands booked to date, Goodstock 2007 will be held July 19 - 21, 2007 on 1000 rolling acres at the Good Evening Ranch in Summersville, West Virginia. Like Woodstock 1969, Goodstock 2007 is a 3-day music and camping event. The ranch will be transformed into Goodstock Village, as a festival of the sixties offering memorabilia, clothing and band attire, a 60’s museum style exhibit, bands performing continually, as well as a San Francisco style light show.

Camp in the Village or stay in nearby hotels. The Village will accommodate bands and music festival fans from nearly every state in the USA, as well as countries worldwide. Unlike Woodstock's for-profit imitators of recent years, Goodstock admission prices - that include camping - start at $28.00 for one day and go up to $75.00 for all 3 days. Goodstock 2007 is all about peace and music instead of generating profit.

According to Larry McClurg, Goodstock promoter, "Imagine the excitement of seeing the stars and legends of rock who played the Fillmore East, West and Woodstock, with the bands who opened for them, and the fans who were there, all in one place again. That's what Goodstock 2007 is. This is not an attempt to go back, re-create or re-visit. It is a new 'happening' and an opportunity for the whole family to experience a re-awakening of the ideals of peace and togetherness through music."

More information on the event, band line-up, and purchase of tickets is available by visiting the Goodstock website at: www.goodstock2007.com/

GOODSTOCK is produced and promoted by
Larry McClurg, Artie Kornfeld and Goodstock LLC.

Who's got Tiger now?

2005-10-10T21:45:44Z

I can't recall the guy's name who bought Tiger, but if he still owns it I was thinking about bugging him to lease, loan or otherwise arrange for DSO to use it. It seems like that would be the best place for Tiger to live IMO. I know Phil is using Wolf to raise funds for charity.

I dunno, just thinking out loud.

Hello,

Ive seen DSO about 25+ times. Most recent shows were in santa cruz, and in san francisco. Both shows were beyond description. In santa cruz i met the warf rat... it was a really trippy experiance. San Francisco was equally incredible. On that acid screed thing they use they played a prankster tape. I thought i was going to freak out untill i realized it was a PRANK!! the jokes on me.

Become a DSO rep!

2005-09-09T17:26:18Z

Hey all,

If you would like to help DSO, you can become a rep. Go to www.darkstarorchestra.net, then click the link on the bottom left hand side that says "become a dso rep"

Dave Weisman their publicist will send you some flyers. Put them up at some shops and shows. Then Dave will put you on the guest list. Its a pretty sweet deal.

Ive done this for years and its allways fun. DSO is a great organization, and its fun to help good people. Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested.
