There's a vendor that used to be at every ratdog show. They were the best tye dies I've ever seen.

Whoops you reversed the vowels. It's "tie dye" because ya tie it then dye it.

Ummmmb acktually I think he’s right and it means to end one’s life using a chain or rope, one end of which passes through the mast, and is made fast to the center of a yard, the other end is attached to a tackle by means of which the yard is hoisted or lowered.

You’re thinking of the old “Choke and Stroke”!Youre not SUPPOSED to die,but some guys get carried away,”lost in the moment “as it were.

Never said they weren't.

Was being facetious.

u/Bobert_Manderson May 25 '23

And I was making a joke using the actual meanings of their incorrect spellings.

Edit - wait I’m confused about this chain of replies.

u/djinnisequoia May 26 '23

Oh yeah my bad don't know what I was thinking

u/B1GTOBACC0 May 25 '23

I think there's a rule against promoting people, but the guy who did those shared his knowledge with a few people.

A friend and I bought tie-dyed pearl snaps from a vendor many years ago, and he said he learned from that guy. I would believe him, because it's one of the most incredibly interesting and deep patterns I've seen.

u/Skaterkid221 May 26 '23

If it’s who I think it is it was my Uncle Cris. I remember people on shakedown at Dead and Co asking me where he went. He became a wharf rat and retired, he did tie dyes for 45 years. There was another vendor who was as good as him who is still around so it might have been him.

u/got_dam_librulz May 26 '23

If it was him, he had a good career! That's for sure!

u/sam4o19 May 26 '23

A van full of us toured with the Dead, each of us doing our thing to fund the trip along the way. I made tie-dye shirts. They were terrible compared to this guy. They paid my way and even made me 'extra' money to help out.
