I have wanted to see Further my adult entire life, but it hasn't been
publicly visible since I was a toddler.
On August 9, 2026 the New York Times described how Further would be
coming to San Francisco in a month.

Sadly I have seen no local news about this event, unfortunately
important things are being drowned in the sewage of lies we now live in.

Never heard of them before.
There was plenty of Dead stuff to buy at the end if one wanted, but
that wasn't the focus.
There were a few performance artists, it was very well done!
They also had two of Wavy Gravy's clown outfits...
Poetry meant nothing to me until I changed majors from CS to
Broadcasting and took a literature course where I read Lawrence
Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg.
Another room had 4 bowls of oil art (mineral oil, alcohol, and ink)
projected on the walls, they showed me how to do it and let me try...
One of Jerry Garcia's BMWs (he owned several over his lifetime) was
on display, I chatted with the owner for a minute, he bought it from
Mountain Girl (Jerry's widow) and sounded like he knows members of the
Dead reasonably well.
I know almost nothing about the Dead but I have seen them twice, once
with Kathy, not sure I had ever heard the name Mountain Girl before.
Here he is opening the BMW owner's manual on the dashboard to the page
where Jerry Garcia signed it.
