PholkTales: Run-Ins With the Law
My Tale began at The Tweeter Center (or Great Woods, whatever you like to call it now) in Mansfield, Mass, on 09-12-2000.  I hope someone else who was there reads this because we all ran this day. 

O.K, now this weekend was a whole mess of bad karma for our end of summer tour. We got in the parking lot the first day, and things seemed cool.  All the pham was hanging out near our cars and coolers and what not, when the tweeter put the Gestapo security on the job. 

They started by checking every young phriend's I.D., and if you were near a cooler and you weren't of this fucked-up government's legal drinking age, they threw the whole contents of the coolers onto their cart. Now, that was not so surprising, and the show was great! 

So, after the show we all go back to our little hang out by our stuff, and shortly the cops are there, clearing out the whole damn lot! So we go to the nearest cool spot, which turned out to be a Mikki D's and Drunkin Dog Nuts parking lot, and a few other phriends were there too.  One Pham who came in a big blue school bus got raided there because they had a glass blowing biz hooked up in bus: legally, I might add. 

We all spent the night in our cars cause it rained all night. The next day, they let us all back in a few hours before the show, and here is the real story! The cops were there all day, making the rounds, and the vibe was crazy ! This one kid in the lot had been getting busted and he decided to run for it! 

So the whole crowd all of sudden started cheering for the kid, telling him to run!!!!! Faster!!!!!!!!  And we all ran screaming with him! Unfortunately, the kid had no shoes on.  He got tripped up in the chaos and fell into this big grassy ditch. So the PIGS got there, man, but I am sure that kid and all of us who ran with him that sunny day wont forget it! 

The end. 

Peace,Love & Phish.
