PholkTales: Run-Ins With the Law
This one could be classified as an odd fan one, but the po had a lot to do with it. I was chilln' out back of deer creek last year by the ponds. I didn't get in the show, but I heard you could hear it pretty good back there. I had never been to that side of the venue before and didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be very cool... many heads back there, and you could hear the show great. 

During the second set, I noticed some shit going down on the other side of the pond (which was there to act like a natural barrier to keep us away from the venue).  I see a Phan cruisin' through the woods, making his way up to the gate, and what he didn't know was that there were about five pigs hot on his tail. He went in through the woods, and they weren't to far behind. 

By now, the rest of the fans on my side were cheering him on, telling him to run and shit. We were probably 200 yards away, so we could see this unfolding. The cops begin to chase him through the woods, and we lose sight... the whole crowed is in an uproar. The dude comes out of the woods and breaks about three tackles from the cops, throwing stiff arms and shit. 

By now, the cops have about five to one odds on him and one horse.  Dude takes of running and we are all going nuts. He must have ate some serious shit or something, but he was running right toward the lake. There was a drop off about ten feet away from the pond.  I guess from this dude's view it looked like it dropped right into the pond.  He was hauling ass and jumped off of the embankment... only to find himself still on ground. 

That was the end of the chase, but the cops started hitting him and all kinds of bad shit. The side of the pond I was on was booing the cops. Finally, some other phan makes a break for the pond (probably more fried than the last), starts running, and jumps in the pond (which was about 3 foot deep max). He was screaming "Rome Wasn't built in a day" and urging the rest of us (probably 400 or so) to follow.
