Anyway, they make there return so I see chicago and it was intense, not just the amazing show but the phriends the burrito miracle I gave and the happiness I shared. but I didn't feel very different. so I went to Cincinnati, one thing I have learned is that you really need to go see them in a different city to really feel the phamily atmosphere.

Anyway I started to feel homesick and nervous for whatever reason even though the shake down was bumpin, I was walking into the show and my adrenaline was starting to rise with my racing thoughts of bliss and complete satisfaction of life I knew I was about to feel and as I looked around I saw another world that I had subconsciously joined literally overnight and I saw the way the arena workers looked at everyone and it was a reminder of where I came from this fueled my fire for the love of it all.

I walked in and sat down with my buddy, I think we were the youngest ones in the whole place but everyone treated us with respect and equality. I looked up at the sealing and I thought to my self this is the build up of all the stories everyone had told me stories that seem impossibly perfect..... and the music started I almost started crying my joy had hit its all-time peak and I half closed my eyes to dance with my thoughts and still see the beautiful lights(thanks chris k) I knew I didn't have to worry anymore because I was home. no story I ever heard can justify the feeling I felt.

I can't even explain it. but to know that humans can create something so beautiful makes me feel that intense joy that phish and phriends brought me will always be hear when I believe in it. so thanks to u all I will do my best to return the favor,
