While waiting in line with other fans to claim our tix, we jokingly started asking people if they had extras for NYE. This kid behind us says, "You guys need tickets for New Years?  I have a few extras". We looked at him and asked how much, thinking he's def gonna want an arm and a leg, which i prob would have given. To our amazement, he says he's got 3 for face. We thank this kind soul and leave for Phili knowing we have 4 shows ahead of us, including new years!!!

So we make it to Phili and see the 2 shows there. Second night is still one of my Fav shows! Rotation jam!!!! First night Boston was pretty sweet too. But than came 12/31!!

We enter the Fleet and head to the stairs to get to our seats. One of the ushers leads us down a corridor with nice carpeting and pictures one the wall. The usher leads us to a door and says "This is it". These were good seats.  These were great seats. These were fucking luxury box seats!!

We had no idea!! Our own bathroom! Tables,chairs couches, sinks and a friggin refrigerator!  We found the kind kid who hooked us up with the tickets already partying HARD in the suite. We thanked him again and he seemed like a nice fellow!!

Halfway through the show, most of the people in our box were passed out or busy puking. But not us!! We kinda started goofin on em and just havin' some fun. It became apparent that this kid's dad owned the box and he and all his little rich friends were not prepared for a New Years Eve with Phish!!

After the show we thanked our new friend and whished him luck with all his passed out buddies and left the Fleet knowing that we just had a once in a lifetime experience. Seeing Phish---in a luxury box---on New Years Eve.
