Seeing members of Phish is a surreal experience for me because I build them up in my head too much. Needless to say, I was stoked for whatever was to come. Now, we had been smoking bowls for a while and I was getting pretty hot. Somewhere in the middle of the set, I passed out due to dehydration. My friends picked me up and I said I was ok.

Moments later I fell again. For anyone who may have been around me, I don't want you to think I was another one of those kids who didn't know his limit and took too much of something. I was merely dehydrated. As I came to again, I heard someone say, "you gotta get this kid outta here," and other things to that matter. A friendly girl in front of me gave me some water which kept me going as I walked to the back. I didn't get a chance to thank her. So I'm walking to the back of the venue and I stepped on someone's stuff, to which I am very sorry.

So I got some water and got to spend my NYE with three fourths of phish. I am writing this story to apologize to the people whose stuff I stepped on and THANK YOU to the kind girl who gave me water which really saved me. Anyway, I loved that show aside from my incident with lack of H20.
