Hallo! Ich heiße Josh und ich komme aus Chicago.

Hello Family
I am so very grateful to have found this message board.
My wife and I are here in Germany together while she does research on her Phd. She received a fellowship grant, and I decided to come along for the adventure. Everything has been wonderful so far on this journey, the only thing missing was a community of Heads to share stories and time with, and some live music that proves that the music never stopped.
We are currently in Karlsruhe, though we will be settling in Berlin for about a year. If anyone receives this transmission, and is in the area, I would love to catch up, buy you a beer and get to know you. Leaving Chicago I left my family of friends behind for a while, and as I am sure you can all attest to, its hard out here without your family.
Heres hoping we can get together and walk the golden road of unlimited devotion together for a while. Strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hands.
Gratefully,
Josh

Wellcome Josh!!
Please let us know when you are in Berlin and where and how to contact you. Would be nice to meet you.
looking forward
rené

Fantastisch René!
Thank you and i will.
We will be doing some traveling through November, but I will absolutely let you know when I get there. I can give you my email if that is a better way to communicate, my wife and I are sharing a phone for the next few weeks until we have a bank account here.
Thanks for the reply, finding this site has seriously brightened my whole perspective. Looking forward to meeting up!
Gratefully,
Josh

Hey Josh, I live in Hamburg but will be in Karlsruhe from 11 until 13 Nov. You will be still there?
Meanwhile you can listen to some STASH radio shows: www.stash-radio.de/archiv.htm
Ciao, Frank

Hallo Frank!
We will be back in Berlin by those dates, working on getting our housing situated. Probably in the Neukllon area. I really appreciate the response and would still love to meet up if you end up in Berlin. We are leaving Karlsruhe in a week, and heading to Venice. Safe travels, and I really hope we get to meet sometime.
Gratefully,
Josh.

Hi Josh

The Deadheads of the Karlsruhe Area are meeting on Oct. 26 in Basel, Switzerland (only a 2 hour drive).
There will be live music by the only Swiss band that plays only Grateful Dead-Tunes, AoxoToxoA. The venue is very special, it's a room full of mirrors. They are even on the ground, so felt slippers or thick woolen socks are recommended, short skirts are not. The room itself is a masterpiece full of psychedelic glory.
For more information, please contact me through www.aoxotoxoa.com

I would love to meet you there! (And everybody else...)

Flo

Hey Josh!
I live in Mannheim, not too far away from KA. Won't be in town for the next few days, but I'm sure we could meet for beers and music talk when I'm back!
Cheers, Simon

Hey Simon,
Sorry for the delayed response.
I am no longer in Karlsruhe. My wifge and I have been traveling the last month or so. Berlin > Karlsruhe > Köln > Dusseldorf, where I am currently, and then onto Venice then back > Berlin for a permanant residency.
I would still ove to meet up, if you will be in the Berlin area after mid-Novemeber. Or, if you are by any chance in Dusseldorf, that would be great to. I now have a phone number to be reached at, so if theres a chance to meet up, let me know!
Until then,
Be Well Brother.
Gratefully,
Josh

Hello Rene!
Hope all has been well with you. I am still traveling, currently in Dusseldorf for a week before going to Venice for another week. But, I have now have a number to be reached at, and I will be in Berlin permanently after mid November.
If you still have the time to get together, my handy number is 4915778596725.
Heres hoping we can still meet up!
Gratefully,
Josh

Hello Frank,
Sorry we missed each other in Karlsruhe. I really appreciate you reaching out. My wife and I have been in constant motion for the last month or so. After Karlsruhe, we went to Köln, now Dusseldorf, on to Venice next week. Mid November I will be settling into Berlin permanently. IT would be wonderful if we could still catch up for a drink or whatever. IT has been such a treat to realize that there is such a community present in Germany, and yet so frustrating that I seem to miss everyone by a day or two!
But, All Good Things, In All Good Time!
Heres hoping we can still catch up with one another soon.
Gratefully,
Josh

ps I know have a handy so if phone communication is better, let me know and ill get you the digits.
Danke!

Flo,
Thank you so very much for the invitation, I am truly bummed that the timing didn't work out for me. My wife and I have been doing a lot of truckin' on this trip and the days of the show turned out to be travel days for us.
In mid-November I will be finally stopping in Berlin and would love to meet up with you.
Hopeful that we can still connect. I listened to some of your music and am REALLY bummed that I couldn't make the show. I can only imagine how spectacular and special such a space would be when combined with such beautiful music.
Gratefully,
Josh
