2 days of Phish at MSG were incredible.On the first night, I got separated from the pack and misplaced my jacket (which had my phone in the pocket) so I ended up wandering around the Garden until the ushers made me leave in protest-no jacket meant I would meet my end via exposure. However, the adult beverages helped keep me warm enough to hail a taxi and show the driver the address of the ymca hostel I was staying at on my room key (words were not exiting my mouth properly). Needless to say, I got some good rest on that first night while my friends called central booking, hoping that i thrown in the drunk tank.

Second night was a tad crazier. at about 1pm i heard a voice from the hallway say "well fellas, moment of truth" right then i opened the door to the joyful amazement of the crew - like being reunited with a long lost family member. after a 4pm breakfast we headed to the garden fully stocked with bottles of champaigne and whiskey just in time to meet up with john's folks (who were in excellent concert form). the set was incredible and culminated with all the band members riding the hotdog thats been in the rock n roll hall of fame for the past 15 years, across the ceiling while champaigne bottles popped and mini hotdogs were being thrown at audience members. outside we called a limo driver that my cohorts came into contact with the night before. new years continued with a limo ride to brooklin while drinking bud pounders. we ended up at a party where i found a sweet blue eyed girl that was nice enough to let me bunk with her, while my friends continued to keep that party going through the morning - ending the night 4 fellas deep on a stand alone bunk bed at the hostel. we all rendevous at grand central station, took a train out of the city and have experienced some great hospitality from kevin's dad in rye, ny and his sister in philly.
jam cruise next.
peace.
