PholkTales: Odd Phans
First of all, I want to say that the night set at Big Cypress was absolutely incredible. The guys were tearing it up and really nothing could keep me from enjoying the show, but there were some things that happened that made it a little more difficult.

The fact that I was on very little sleep from the craziest traffic jam I've ever been a part of (if you were there you know what I mean), didn't help. And the mystery pink pill I ate before the night set was tearing a phatty hole in my gut.
But all this aside, I was in absolute awe of the incredible music and of course CK's fine work.

It was about 4:00 or 4:30 A.M. and about half the people in the crowd were laying down, probably from exhaustion. I'm chillin out just trying to keep in the groove of the show, when I hear some commotion next to me. When I look over I see a guy walking through the crowd with a glazed look in his eye. As he walks, the crowd seems to be eagerly getting out of his way. I look down and see why everyone is trippin out; to put it bluntly, his dick is hangin' out of his pants while he stumbles along.  I had thought to myself before this set started that not everyone was going to make it to the port-o-lets and damn was I right. 

So I move to avoid the potential of getting wet, but everyone around him is pushing him away, so that hopefully he will move past them. This in itself is rare at a phish show, people being aggressive just doesn't happen at shows that much, but I can understand why. So as he prepared to open the flood gates, we moved as much stuff as we could, including my friend who was passed out on the ground right in front of this guy.

Now he proceeds to piss all over a big pile of people's stuff that is on the ground, and everyone around is yelling at this guy to stop, but his brain had stopped working completely. Now the part that truly sets phans apart from the average joe. At any other show, this guy would have gotten beat silly, but no one did. They just kinda shoved him away and he wandered off.

This was a true testament to the power of phish and their phans. Even though this guy did something that was totally disrespectful, the drive to keep the peace and harmony of the show prevailed over any urges to inflict bodily harm to this wacked out guy.

Editor's note: If you think this guy was bad, read about another Big Cypress phan who wasn't too shy about asking for what she wanted.
