Happy birthday, Jerry! Ya would've been 64 today, according to the Hippie Word-a-Day Calendar.

I like Jerry. He seems like he was really friendly. And a big teddy bear. X3 And, like Hannah says, his wife was Mountain Girl! Le awesome. I really wish my folks had been Deadheads; now that I know about the Dead, I wanna see them in concert, but Jerry dying really put a damper on things.

Since I can no longer possibly meet Jerry... I want the official Jerry Garcia stuffed doll. X3 One: Jerry rocks. Two: THE DOLL IS SO CUTE HDSOFHDLAKHFLADSJFALSKAOMG. *squee!* I love collecting cute things. X3 This is definitely one of 'em.

Anyway, let us all raise a celebratory joint for our friend who is no longer here. *raises it* To Jerry--good singer, good songwriter, middle-finger-less guitar player, and all-around hippie teddy bear!
