crazydiamond:

  • i was 15, yelling at my brother to turn off phish b/c he never listened to anything else.  I was planning on attending my first show with him, only to find out he got arrested at the previous show, so i was representing us and reporting the show back to him. It was at the show that i realized why it was all worth it to him, and I suddenly realized that it all made intense sense. After waiting patiently for two years, I'm getting the opportunity to tell him that i won three shows to the hampton lottery and that i chose to take him, knowing that this experience will be a family bond forever!

Kelly A. from WV:

  • you can close your eyes when listening to the boyz and be able to just Share in the groove, like a brain floating in water, like when earth, wind, fire, and water all come together to make one harmonious sound. Makes you feel in tune with the Universe. For example, like the first time you heard Divided Sky and already knew how the song was supposed to go without hearing it. Amazing!

edephish:

  • NOTHING....and I mean absolutely NOTHING will keep you from seeing the boys this NYE.

Jessica:

  • August 14 - You went out surfing, and as you are paddling out into the waist high breaking waves, you're just calming singing Brian and Robert to yourself - the same day you went out skating while thinking of the funny stories about the accidents the guys had while skating out at the farmhouse.
  • Went home and painted that night, feeling that you accomplished so much that day, when the phone rings and it's your friend telling you to guess who is going on tour. And you say Red Hot Chili Peppers cause you were just talking about them the day before... but your friend says, No guess again. And you look over to your Phish dedicated wall and think: No, can this really be possible? but my friend who is calling isn't really into Phish, how could she know before me? But you say, "Phish?" anyway and she says "YES!"
  • -So for the next 20 minutes you have trouble breathing and grasping the idea that Phish is actually back, but then naturally coming to the conclusion that they came back today to make the best day ever... even better. You then make your family watch Bittersweet Motel while crying tears of happiness, knowing that the boys are back :)

Tela:

  • You just read the last dozen entries, and 1/2 way through you find yourself shedding tears of pure happiness~ Can't wait to celebrate NYE with everyone... see ya on tour!! (It feels so so good to say that again) :0)

James Biehn:

Phattestphish:

  • you know that the Circus is back in town! Amen! (see Aug. 13 posting)

Harpua:

  • you're current fiancé was straight laced when she met you in summer '01- you have already booked hotel rooms and air passage and will be (hopefully) doing all the shows on the reunion tour as your HONEYMOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at her request, of course)

  • You run laps around your house screaming, then you immediately call your little sister (tour partner) to start making plans. Let the mad rush begin to get a hotel...they are ALL booked solid in Hampton and the front desk attendants can tell you that without looking at their computer.

Phatty Patty:

  • you come to find out the boys are comin back to us at 8am while sitting in class... and your teacher asks you why you are crying... you want to shout it from the rooftops, but they just don't understand!
