a phish show at msg. there's certain pieces of memory that i can recall about that night. i can recall a ride into mid-town in an old bronco. somewhat light traffic. a very, very cold night outside. almost the entire posse had tickets. up in the 400's. page side HIGH!

some fungus. that hit like fog rising over a desolate road during split open and melt. accapella freebird. never saw that coming. what's up with those worms on stage?

giggly set break. round room pulsating as we checked in on the peeps down below. back up top for the second set. free busting out powerfully. a ridonkulous yem to close. the last divided sky encore.

couldn't defrost the car afterwards. couldn't stop laughing either. fun times.
