So after becoming a recent phish phan (about 2 years now) I have been waiting anxiously to see them. Their music has changed my life and I thank them so much for it.

So when I hear there are coming to Worcester (sorta close to home) I am absolutely seiked! However, shit doesn't work out and I only end up getting a ticket for nassau.

When 2/26 comes around however, I end up going to the show and just hoping to grab a ticket. Little did I Know that 60% of the crowd had the same idea in mind.

so after 2 hours or more of holding up my index I was almost about to give up. then I had some intuitive notion to walk farther down the venue to an area I hadn't been yet. as me and other friend who was also lookin for a ticket approach this area, there are about 8 guys hidin behind this stone wall to their left and two big closed doors in front of them. I hop over a small gate and ask what's up and if they are trying to sneak in.

They clarify they are. As we are hiding from a cop just on the other side of the small wall, we tap on the window and a generous phan opens the big doors. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! its my chance I walk as fast as I can without being obvious and make it!!! it was the best feeling ever! my first phish show I walk in for free and I didn't even think I was gonna get in!!! it was truly a blessing and I really feel I was meant to see the greatest band ever that day! thank you phans!
