It's been almost a year and a half since I was regularly visiting Santa Cruz, but this article from the Santa Cruz Sentinel took me right back. It's Santa Cruz in a nutshell:
Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir offered some strong advice Thursday to the UC Santa Cruz archivists who will take in truckloads of the legendary rock band's memorabilia this summer: "I suggest you don't lick any of the letters."
Looks like they're putting a new room in the library for the archives and calling it 'Dead Central'.
