numero fourteen

this weekend i drove through hampton, va to try and score some miracle phish tickets for their big-daddy reuinion shows. seeing as i'm a pretty big fan, and was denied tix in the lottery, it was kind of a no-brainer to go try my luck in the lot, and see if someone wanted to make my day.

well apparently 74,999 other people had the same idea... and the venue only holds 12,500.

anyway, this was what a band with a dedicated following should look like. there were people there who had been to over 100, some over 500 phish shows over the last twenty years.

sure, some were wookie-ass hippies, cracked-out heavy drug vendors, and dudes still flashing back to when jerry was playing in san fran... but for the most part, it was just good ol' wholesome music-lovin folk.

i dug it.

i want to thank everyone who helps build a scene like this, from the bands, to the crews, to the fans. these communities are really some of the coolest, purest things on the face of the earth.

that is all.
