Ebb, flow, ebb, flow. Blogging is likely to be like that, for awhile.
In the meantime, regarding 46 years ago today: did the Dead play Hippie Hill?

Who knows, they might have.
While they were thought to have played at the Vancouver Pop Festival on 8/24/69, it turns out they didn't.
This Vancouver Sun article notes that "the Grateful Dead never showed up" at the festival:
http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=18db9fd0-716a-4afb-9ae1-62afa2d4b8c0Terry Mulligan's book Mulligan's Stew has several pages on the festival (he introduced the bands) – "three days of rain, cold, and miserable hippies." The festival was apparently a disaster: "The Grateful Dead didn't even show up, probably because they weren't paid in advance."
