PholkTales: Run-Ins with the Law

This was my first Phish experience.  I had been listing to them for around two years, but had yet to see them. We end up getting to the lot around two hours early, and if you have ever been to Antioch, Tennessee, you know the lot is all gravel roads and grass. We decided to drink some beers and hang out.  

We are walking around... this being my first show ever, I am just in heaven. We go watch some brothers play the congas and other percussion instruments.  Pretty soon, let's say the gel is starting to come on strong. Next thing I know, I see this guy running, and everyone starts yelling.  I see this cop on a bike trailing right behind the guy, yelling, "don't drop it... Don't drop it!" 

The whole lot started jumping in front of the the police, yelling "run, brother, run!"  Then the guy runs up this steep hill, going towards the box office.  At this point, I'm thinking that there's no way the cop on the bike can get up it.  He starts flying up the hill after the guy and falls, and I hear the biggest cheer I've ever heard in my life... Everyone clapped and yelled, and it just made me feel good that finally we got one for us and the cops didn't get their way.
