  1. Hello? Phish is playing in Toronto this summer!

    Well...I know I've had very few experiences over the last few years to compare to, and at a very reflective transitional stage of my life but I thought this was a fabulous show. It could have been something I ate but the band tore my brain apart, helped me unpack a few things and shake it all out in equilibrium.

    Such a treat to be back in the pit in the thick of it all.

    Also a real treat to run into so many freaky friendly faces that I hadn't seen in so long. Including a bunch of you Ottawa folk. It's reassuring knowing you're all still out there lighting up the world with your unique brands of vibrancy.

    I am grateful to have survived. The circusbus ride in was by far the most reckless, crazy ordeal I've ever been a part of. I honestly don't know how we didnt make the news. Driver had a death wish....and some serious cosmic skill and luck I'll give him that. Grateful for the divine forces that somehow managed to hold it altogether to avoid mass carnage....an experience to be sure but I think that's the last time I ride that particular train. Getting too old for dice lol. 

    Blessed be the phish. I found myself thinking during second set....with the current state of the world and all the layers of traps and suffering and vacuous exchanges out there, out of ALL places I get to be here right now. Lucky duckies.

    This show was fantastic. Beautiful brand new venue that the Hammer so desperately needs as with time we've lost a lot of spaces.

    The band was new to me. Super tight, great originals, you can feel the Dead and Allmans influence when they open things up. An engaging and captivating frontman and I was really impressed by their multinstrumentalist keyboard player who also busted out the fiddle and acoustic guitar. Great harmonies all around and a packed enthusiastic crowd. 

    I honestly had almost forgotten what it's like. Grateful.

    I remember that weekend, forget who it was though that steered me into that spot (Skerny most likely..lol). Lent you my tent (or someone anyway) and proceeded to fall into after setting it up. Pretty sure Amber has/had some pics from that weekend. You did drive to Bren's (only person I ever let drive my van too!) - I remember Doug Feaver being upset with me thinking I was going to be driving, but I was only moving the van out from between the trees (wasn't that straight-forward). I may even have some video footage from the chalet still. Great people and great weekend all around, so much fun. Definitely feels like a lifetime ago.

    Lol....classic. My bets on Skern too lol.  Also, I remember once at the chalet, Bren coudn't get enough of playing to himself in the mirror after he had freshly touched up his frosty tips bwahahah......"Hey you guys do you mind moving over? You're blocking the reflection of my frosty tips".....Oh to be one's own muse.  Pretty sure I slept under the staircase...all class.

    Didn't the wook 17 label (they were all numbered) come-about from some website that was dedicated to making fun of the touring and wasted folks within the lot scenes of GD/Phish and other jambands in general? I forget its name now, but remember it was a mix of slight humor with general nasty/mean comments?

     

    Yes I have a vague recollection of this as well. Didn't 'Uncle Ted' end up with his mug on that site as well? I think it was actually a photo from ghost town. 

    By the way Greg do you remember that first come together. We all drove up in your van. Arrived in the dark and was trying to park somewhere in the perimeter. Whichever hippy was navigating you as we backed in ended up getting you wedged between two trees. Lol. That was a great weekend. I think I drove your van on from there to the Gleesons' chalet in Thornbury/Collingwood. More good times. That seems like a lifetime ago.

    It felt weird reading that last sentence of yours! lol

    Kind of in the same boat....hard to get too revved up over anything with so much uncertainty.  Had considered Hershey but decided to wait and see on that.  I'm sure Vegas will be near impossible to acquire....maybe Fall... Maybe so and maybe not
