"My best friend in the whole world, Rob, and I took the train to NYC about five hours before the Sunday, May 21, Radio City show, hoping to be miracled (yeah right). After trying everything in our powers (my buddy was blessed by two Hasidic Jews on the street) we still did not get in.

We met up with three of our other friends around 9:00 PM, figuring what the hell, why not wait on line for Roseland? What have we got to loose? Seeing Phish in a 3,000 capacity venue?!? When we got there (a few blocks away from RCMH) we were around 300 on line, guaranteed a ticket!

We all dropped and just sat on the corner of a NYC block for about 10 hours. JUST as I was about to fall asleep, we see the mad rush. It was crazy, all the line crashers (we still got our wristbands), but this isn't the craziest part. Anyway, we go to the show - all rolling our heads off. My buddy Rob and I got to the front of the venue towards the end of the show (around Train Song).

We were literally three feet from the stage and Trey! I had been mad close before, but this was ridiculous. As they are walking back on for the encore, he packs his chillum up. We both take big hits, hold 'em in, then direct our arms upwards and let go. "Stuff it in my...sock!" It was awesome!

Show over, or was it? We all meet up, and walk around the venue to the back, where we had waited for 14 hours to get in. It just so happened all of their equipment trucks were there, gated off. I ask one of the roadies if they had come out yet. "Ummm...I don't think so. Wait over there."

We sat around for a good hour, all of a sudden, I see Rob bolt to the end of the block. He ran right up to Trey and I ran up to Mike. We both gave 'em hugs! I was in shock! My buddy says, "Trey, did you see my rip man?" All I could say was, "Man, we waited for 14 hours to get into this show and we would have waited for three days!"

They both said thanks for coming out, got in their van and listened to the cheers. Then, when we thought it couldn't get better, as we were walking back down the block, what was sitting there? What prop could be just sitting there, leaned against the trucks? THE TRAMPOLINES!!!!!! Need I say more? The best show of my life!"

In response to this story, you can actually SEE their hits in the VH1 video from that show! Right as the camera pulls away from Trey's face as he says, "Stuff it in my sock!" you can see the cloud of smoke...
