Custie's find the Dead

Forums:

Let me start by saying that I know I’m a custie. I know I’m a custie, because just the other day, a guy I know used the word custie, and I had to ask him what it meant. Another friend explained: a custie is “a tourist in the world of hippies, as opposed to an authentic head.” A dealer might sell an eighth of weed to a custie for $60, then turn around and sell that same eighth to a real head for $40, the first friend added. I know I’m a custie, because I happen to pay my dealer exactly $60 for an eighth. And because custie is one of those words used to define an outgroup, like “poser” or “muggle”: If you have to ask the question “what is a custie,” the answer is always “you.” I know I’m a custie, but I’m learning to love the Grateful Dead.

I never saw Jerry Garcia. 

I never saw Pigpen, TC, Keith and Donna.

Slack, you should start a sex thread about it. Custie Jerry Garcia sex.

I had to explain "custie" and "Wookie" to a co worker this morning. Too funny!

When I first started going to shows I was too poor to be a  custie.

By the time I was no longer poor, I was too smart to be a custie.

I only knew wookies from our scene until someone put a wookie business card on my vehicle. Learned a whole new meaning to word wookie.

Slacker,  how many times have you seen Moonalice? 

Every free show in a park in the East Bay except some. 

where's zippy?

That's an interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

Zippy is on timeout for violent threats. Unknown if he has a huge problem with it.

whats funny, is folks who use the word custie, to differentiate the touristas, are actually the custies...

 

your dealer bro, who rips you off an extra $20, does not go to shows, and might not have the deep transformational profundities that you, the real dead head has... when jerry rips your face off.

 

those lots kids are the worst... buncha custies.

Burnouts like to act like the Dead isn't one of the most popular bands of American rock and roll. Heads are still trying to figure out what happened to their lives while rotting away in a parking lot somewhere. Customs walk around with Northface jackets that have the jerry hand on it. It's pretty funny.

Unless you've sucked on a gram of crystal like a popsicle with Zane Kesey on top of the Furthur bus you're a custie.  That means all of you lightweights. 

jr, what are you saying????

Custies stopping custies, just to show their hand?

JR is one of Bobby's bastards. Zane had to let him on. 

>>>>> ...until someone put a wookie business card on my vehicle.

lol

 

Somebody add Wookie Business card to the lexicon
