I was supposed to leave at 6:00 am on the 22nd of February to start traveling from Johnstown Pa to Cincinnati. But, of course it was to good to last. At about 1:00 am I got a call from my sister who lives in Philly. She had been raped. I rushed out to Philly to see her. I soon realized the Phish show was out of the question.

So, my first show did not happen. She was my first thoughts, but still a phish show how could I miss that? I got home laid down on my bed and was feeling about as low as any person could feel, for I knew that that moment I would have been walking out of my first show. I flipped my CD player on and all I heard was "you feel good about hood". I instantly felt better and the next day things just seemed to be brighter.

So, thanks to phish who truly helped me get through this hard time. And, hopefully the next show wont get away!
