Deadheads in West Sacramento

We saw this sign in the neighborhood during our evening stroll. It brought back memories of when we went to see the Grateful Dead in concert at Cal Expo in the 1980's.

Trivia: The parking lot was full of old Volkswagon Vans decorated with Grateful Dead artwork, outside the event there were the vendors selling all sorts of interesting "paraphernalia" and the "spinners" were doing their holy dance. Inside, the air was a pungent aromatic blend of patchouli, body odor and tobacco. Sitting on the grass in front of the stage were the younger fans in tie-dye and sitting in the bleachers, dressed in suits and ties and designer jogging outfits, were the Sac State and UC Davis Alumni "Deadheads". All there had one thing in common, they were diehard fans of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.
