Hi, Mom

During their coverage of Phish's 3-day reunion in Hampton, VA, Rolling Stone put together some profiles of fans that they met in the parking lot. Nate definitely wins. (Wins what, I don't know. Maybe some hash)

Name: Nate from "everywhere"

Age: 22

Occupation: "I sell herbs and hash"

Number of Phish Shows Seen: 10

Craziest Thing You've Done for Tickets: "I traded a lot of hash for tickets"

Describes the Hampton Crowd As ... "I don't know, dude I'm freaking out. There is fucking ... They are trying to set people up here, it's fucked up. But it's chill here ... I don't know."

Substances You'll Admit to Ingesting Today: Hash

Hampton Comes Alive!

Today should be a national holiday because tonight Phish reunites at one of its old stomping grounds and the recording location for its 6-CD live box set Hampton Comes Alive. The band is playing three sold-out shows at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA this weekend before they gear up for a tour that starts in June (and hopefully never ends). The band has confirmed that this is not just a reunion tour. This is Phish Phase Two. They have already recorded 20 demos for their next album, which they are planning to record this fall. One of the tracks, "Backwards Down The Number Line," is expected to be played this weekend. Check out these links for all the heady goodness:
