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.

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.

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.
