PholkTales: Odd Phans
I saw Phish at the Hartford Meadows last year (6/30/00) with a couple of my friends. It was my first show. I was astounded at how many dreadlocked fans and volkswagon vans I saw. 

Anyway, on the exit ramp we saw a pale, thin fan get out of a van and start skateboarding down the exit ramp toward the Meadows. He was looking kind of tired, and also like he was under the influence of some type of drug. My friends and I were in a car, but because of how congested traffic was, we were right behind this phan. 

When we got to flat road, the skateboarder was trying to do fancy moves (i.e. skating with one leg in the air, or in a ballerina stance). Suddenly he tries to do some weird trick and falls face first right in front of our car. If traffic was moving we might have run him over! He got up and seemed to be alright. Of course we were laughing like crazy (I know its cruel, but we couldn't help it). 

Next thing I know the skateboarder is hanging in the window of my pal's car with bloody forearms and very few teeth (not lost in the fall). He looks at us all with suspicious, squinty eyes and asks, "You guys got a bandaid for these cuts, or some weed?" We just laughed hysterically, and so did he. 

Later that night we saw him telling some guys in the parking lot about the punks that were laughing at him. I apologize if I hurt his feelings, but I still haven't seen anything as funny as a phishhead doing odd skateboard tricks on an exit ramp, and falling down face first.
