Archives of the Penn State Daily Collegian are available online at http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/, which might prove useful for others (I have found lots of Jerry-related stuff).
Just for giggles, I thought I'd post this little snippet from the police blotter over the weekend of the Jerry Garcia/John Kahn show (Robert Hunter opening) at Eisenhower Auditorium on 11/16/84:
Tee hee.
Good scheme, too bad it didn't work. Also funny to me because it's so east coast. Hard to imagine anyone at, say, CU-Boulder thinking a university blazer would draw attention away from them. :)

how do you know this scam hadn't been a great winner for years? For all we know, the guy snuck into every concert for his entire college career, until this one.
ReplyDeleteThe scientific approach would be to swipe a CU blazer and walk into the next concert--it might be a proven winner of a strategy!
The PSU digital archive is great.
Ha!

I am going to investigate more college papers.
Northern New York Historical Papers also has some stuff at http://news.nnyln.net/
And, a CU blazer is really just a fleece.
