The Day Jerry Died


Update 2005/08/22: Put Jerry on a stamp! SF Gate is running a story on efforts to put Jerry Garcia on a postage stamp. Read the article to see what you can do to contribute to the effort.


I awoke to an early morning phone call. I was living in San Francsico, and one of my friends in Indiana called to give me the bad news. At first, I refused to believe. I didn't own a television, so the news was out as a source of confirmation. Leave it to usenet to bring me confirmation of the nightmare.

I was in no mood for work, and resented the meeting I had to attend that day. The rest of the day I could not concentrate, and wound up sitting in my little cube creating this. It is a composite image of a mini-poster I picked up at Soldier Field 1992, and a bumper sticker of Jerry.

I hope you like it.

I've taken the hi-res original and made a set of wallpaper files out of it. Would you like a copy?
