PholkTales: Phishy Coincidences
Before the third night of Deer Creek I was walking up and down the wonderful Shakedown Street that was present before some drunken phan spilled some of his Budweiser all over my shirt.

Luckily for me I had just bought a nasty Buffalo Bill shirt off of one of the vendors (this same guy I camped out with on New Years for tickets and who gave me some phatty knitted gloves at Nassau). "This is a cool shirt man, make it yourself?" "Yup, two for fifteen bucks. The Buffalo Bill hasn't been a hot seller but shit, maybe we'll hear it now that I'm getting rid of some." "I hope so man...that would be the shit."

Anyway, I buy two shirts for $15, throw on the Buffalo Bill shirt, take my daily dose and go inside for the show.

Second set and I'm having a great time. Later into the set I hear the first licks to Makisupa and of course started paying my homage to it as Trey already had stating he, "smoked some pot". Well the song is coming to a close and I hear an odd bass line that couldn't be what I thought it was...Buffalo Bill. I was pumped to hear such a rare song and then it hit me that I had just bought the same damn shirt before the show and the guy I bought it off of called it.

Was this a coincidence? How could these odds work in my favor? Can they hear me?... Being played only a handful of times in Phistory (9?!) I was completely tripped out over the whole sequence of events and have never been the same since.
