Jerry Garcia was born on August 1st 1942, I was born August 1st, 1982. I have always had the pleasure of sharing my birthday with Captain Trips, if I had to have a celebrity birthday buddy, I am glad to say it is Jerry, which is much better than Coolio, who is also born August 1st.
Unfortunately, after battling with drug addiction and diabetes, Jerry Garcia passed away August 9th, 1995 in a drug rehabilitation facility.
For this reason many fans and deadheads the World over celebrate the first week in August as "Jerry Garcia Week".
In celebration of Jerry Garcia Week 2010, I have made a special tribute print. Here are the details for this particular print release, this one is very different so try to follow:
This print will go onsale Sunday, August 1st at 11:00 AM EST, it will remain onsale until 12:00 Midnight on Monday, August 9th. After this date, this piece will no longer be on sale and the prints will no longer be produced.
This print will not have a set edition size. Edition size is based on how many prints are sold in the 10 day period between August 1st -9th. If we sell 5 of these, the edition size is 1/5, if we sell 134 of these, the edition size will be 1/134.
20% of the Final proceeds will be donated directly to the REX foundation. For more information about the REX foundation click HERE
