The Illustrious Seth

Can you buy a vehicle pass later or do you have to buy it when you buy your GA camping ticket? I can't tell from the website.

$20.30 to buy a GA ticket? C'mon man, just add that to the price of the ticket up front. Good lord.

Sweet that makes it easy on me!

Does she really love this guy?

Thanks for the synopsis TW. Sounds nice but also sounds like it won't be the end of the world if I go the regular route. I'm use to car/woods camping and staying at huts with loud people so I've got my gear pretty well dialed in. Either way I'm already bouncing off the walls thinking about this festival. Can't wait!

I almost want to pony up for Glen Close. Almost. The problem is that it'll be awhile before I can rope my friends into going and by then it'll probably have sold out. Plus they likely wouldn't splurge on GC. Ultimately I'm sure I'll end up with just regular camping which suits me fine.

Shore leave officially approved by the Boss. Let's do this fuckers!

I'll be there. Which will be pretty awesome.

HA, thanks for the offer Sagan but that would be the sort of lie to crater our marriage. No, no. Honesty and begging is the best policy here. I plan on playing up my 40th birthday angle to make it happen. Glen Close sure sounds swanky but I'm a cheap bastard so I'll likely be camping with the masses.

Sweet. Now to broach the topic with the Wife.

We did that summer tour and Camden was definitely the sketchiest place I experience by far. Though that 7/4/00 show did prompt us to make a game time decision to hit up the Toronto show as well.

Man I had fun on Friday. Been 1.5 years since my last show. Forgot how awesome the Garden is. We were high up on Mike side. I didn't know about the bridge. It looked pretty cool. Kind of wish I jumped on tickets up there when I saw them. But our seats were still good. Wife had fun. Guy behind us threw up but apparently it was mostly in a bag so alright. I wasn't familiar with I Always Wanted It This Way but I really enjoyed that jam. And that Chalkdust went on so long I forgot what song it was. Took my fun to the limit and saw all kinds of 3-D robots and polar bears on the stage. My brain felt like scrambled eggs the next day. This was show 52 and my little tour journal is now completely full. It only took 19 years. It's sad in a way - sort of feels like the end of my Phish journey. I'm sure there'll be a few more shows but my passion for the band isn't what it once was and I know my time with this band is running down. Filling in the last empty pages of this book feels like completing the last chapter. I hope there is a long epilogue to be written in a new book.

Tickets acquired. Let’s do this!

Ha, unfortunately he only had one left. I got a free room with rewards at a Marriott in Rye so we're heading down either way. Hopefully I score tickets using the cashortrade app on the way down there. If not we'll try our luck outside the venue. If nothing else it gets us into the city and out of our house for the night. I'm considering it a fun adventure. My wife...not so much. But she's a trooper!

If anyone hears of a pair of tix for tonight, let me know. Thanks!
