Well, it happened to be a beautiful day in burlington, vermont. My buddy and I had pulled into a scenic overlook of Lake Champlain, right outside of town. We got out of the car and decided to burn one as the sun went down. 

I was sitting on the stone wall, fairly stoned, and just happened to notice a guy filming the sunset down on the bottom of the hill.  I looked a little closer and thought, "that guy looks like Mike..." that's funny... then, the camera moved and the face was exposed. I tapped my buddy on the shoulder and said, "hey, check it out, it;s Mike." 

Being toasted himself and not realizing what I was getting at, he responded, "Mike who?"...  "Uh, you know Mike from phish."  We took one more look.  Mike looked up at us, said hi, and then motioned for us to come down. So we went down, shook hands, and struck up a conversation about the sunset and Mike's digital camera he had just bought. It wasn't working properly, and he tried to focus it on my buddy's shirt, but to no avail. 

We talked a little more and said good bye. Out of all the days living in Burlington, this was one of the best by far.
