PholkTales: Near Catastrophes
After seeing two spectacular shows in Las Vegas, I decided to skip the Denver show and spend a another night in Vegas. That was a big mistake. I drove with my buddy all the way back home to Chicago to catch the hometown show. We got there about an hour before show time. That wasn't the worst part of it.

I rolled down my window so that i could hear some tunes while chugging a couple of beers. Suddenly, I heard a crash and there was glass all over my seat. Yep, my fuckin' window had just broke. Probably the strangest thing I'd ever seen. Well, I attached a garbage bag to the window, and went into the show hoping no one would bust into my car.

During the second set, it was getting so hot where I was standing I had to go to the concessions to get some water. The next thing I know, I'm on the ground with paramedics standing around me. "What the Fuck just happened?" I yelled. Apparently, I blacked out for a second and hit my head on a counter. I insisted to the meds that I wasn't on any drugs, which I really wasn't. Just a couple beers and some pot. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I had to plead with them not to take me to the hospital, but they made me miss the rest of the show. It's ok. I've seen Phish plenty of times, and they aren't worth dying over. I went out to my car, and it was untouched. The only thing that sucked after that was driving home with the window open in 30 degree temperature. By far the worst day of my LIFE.
