PholkTales: Random Acts of Kindness
I headed out from nashville TN hoping to get to Charlotte NC to see phish with some friends of mine from charlotte. It turned out to be a much longer drive than i expected. i got to charlotte right at rush hour. this just added to the traffic line at the venue, which lasted hours.

I Finally got near the parking lot and got in the left lane to go to the lot across the street from the ampitheatre. I started to pull in but a police officer told me the lot was full. I ended up having to turn around and get in line again, and when i got back to the same parking lot they were more people in. As i was still waiting i hear phish take the stage.

I didn't get in until funky bitch. After a long day of driving, i just wanted to find my friends and chill out with phish. I found them during bathtub gin i started to pack a bowl.

a security guard sees me and comes over and takes my pot and gets the police. i get handcuffed and taken over to a back yard to the side of the venue. it is filled with other people just like me, who had been picked up by security and undercover cops. there were people there wearing dead tye-dyes, writing up tickets.

i get a citation and i am lucky enough to be set free to the parking lot. some people are forced to stay there with their hands cuffed, some are being loaded up and taken straight to jail.

It was setbreak and i could not get back in because my ticket had already been scanned. The show was sold out so i could not buy another. i decided to sit down and enjoy all that i could hear from outside the gates.

after a while a guy came up to me and sat down and struck up a conversation. we were talking for a while and he asked me if i would be happy now with my life if i was to die. he started telling me about god and jesus and how i should get to know them. we had about a 30 minute conversation. it really made me think. then he handed me a bible and a ticket to get back inside!!!!!!!
