PholkTales: Odd Phans
so, we were at big cypress... during the set, and earlier in the set, we noticed this dude who was just staring at a little tee-pee shrine-type thing he had made out of palm leaves. He was sitting indian style, just staring at it.

One cheesecake chant later.......he started yelling "cheesecake" at the leaves, and everyone around us found it quite amusing. For the rest of the night, he continued to sit there, taking in the show from that perspective.......

When the sun began to come up, and all the litter on the ground was visible, it bothered this fellow to some degree, and he got up. It was quite a moment for those of us around him, since we were all tracking his behavior all night long.....

he walked very slowly up to an abandoned water bottle and walked around it a couple times in a circle......wondering what was going to happen next, several people in our large and spread out area began to stop dancing and watch this dude.... he "moved in for the kill" and did some spin kick type of move, kicking the water bottle away from it's original spot, closer to his palm leaf shrine.... by the time Phish was done, our area was completely clean of any sort of garbage....there were times when we wouldn't see him for 10 minutes because he was searching for more garbage to spin kick back to the shrine.

When we left, he still was at it, cleaning up the concert field.....he had a circle of strategically placed water bottles, empty cig packs, random shit all in a large circle around his tee pee.....

I will never forget that guy, for the amusement he gave, and for cleaning up, which I think is a wonderful thing.....and whatever gets the job done works I guess.....I think that using your wands and picking it up would have sped things along, but don't think that it would have been as eventful or as meaningful to me to have it done that way!!

Editor's Note: Weird... I guess there's something about trash that has a strong effect on fans who are spun out.
