Who are the Grateful Dead and why do they keep following me?

I used to have this bumpersticker, way back when, that said this, and for some reason I've decided that I want to get another one. I can't find one anywhere, though. I've been googling for days now with no luck; I can't even find the design anywhere.  So, I went into my old photos (man, I used to be so thin) because I knew I had a pic of hubs sitting on the back of my old Honda, and here we are!


This was taken in March of 1993. That's hubs, sitting on the back of my car, in the parking lot of my old house in Santa Barbara. That white arrow points to the sticker I'm talking about.

Does anybody know this design? I want another one and I can't find it anywhere. Can you help? Spread the word? Ask your old hippie friends? HELP!

(Look at hubs, though! RAWWRRRRR!!!!!)

While I was looking through old pics, I found this one of me that I thought you guys might enjoy:


This is Halloween 1991 at the Oakland Coliseum. I'm dressed as Jerry Garcia, by the way, since most of you probably won't know that. There's a pillow stuffed under my shirt there. Seriously, I used to be really thin. *sigh*

UPDATE: LOOK!!!!! 


My non-German German friend Patrick found it for me at a store in Oregon!!!!! Please follow him on Twitter and say thank you!!!!

I see that you also used to wear pants. I don't know why you couldn't just make one yourself. It looks like yellow tape with magic marker writing.
Me too. I weighed less than 100 lbs when I started college.
Have you tried eBay?

There are 600+ different things being sold on eBay right now under the category of "Grateful Dead memorabilia" and I have inspected every one of them
http://www.purplemoon.com/Stickers/misc.html on this page was the closest thing I found. It says the words you want but not the same kind of graphic or coloring.
My recent post The Hungry, Hungry Bandits! #DipDipHooray!
So glad it has been found!!

I love happy endings. Especially Grateful Dead happy endings. And that photo is so awesome. Were you able to get your groove on with the pillow or did you have to remove it at the show?

Let's get a "hallelujah" for Patrick and his sleuthing skills. I'm hoping it's already been ordered and will be shipped out first thing tomorrow morning. We expect to see an update photo of it applied to the back of your minivan.

You make a super cute Jerry.
My recent post The Shadow Knows...but what are those?
You dressed as Jerry might be my favorite thing I've seen in a long time. Genius.
1993 was like yesterday, right? You were a cute little Jerry Garcia!
My recent post Gaps.
This sticker was originally done by Tom Dick of Erie, PA in the late 80's. It was conceived by Dave Hanlin also then of Erie. The originals had "Product of Today" on them, combining their names. He also did the "Peace of MInd" stickers with the peace sign imposed over the globe.
I have one of these but it is a magnet not a sticker- pulled it off the back of a car when i was a punk ass kid in the early 90's-
So, there was a guy at Santa Clara selling this exact sticker. I missed him but a few guys bought them. He told my friends that he was the guy who originally designed it and had made up some more for the 50th anniversary show. i was bummed not to get one and tried to find him before the show. Great sticker.
