ordered my VT tix yesterday. that was a no-brainer.. looks like i know when i\'ll be taking my vacation..
still hasn\'t really sunk in, and i don\'t think it will for a while.. i\'ve been kicking around a lot of thoughts about the whole thing, going back and forth on how i feel about it..
i always pictured myself \'growing old\' with phish - going to shows well into my 30\'s and whatnot.. part of me wants to call trey a big liar, for telling us they were taking a break after 17 years, and wanted to come back for another 17.. part of me thinks that this has nothing to do with the state of the music - that maybe the whole kuroda/rehab thing has something to do with it.. maybe that was a wake up call. maybe they feel like they can\'t go on because they fear that one of them will end up dead if they keep going the way they\'re going. i don\'t know. none of us do, and we probably never will. all i know is that the band i can probably call my \'favorite\' will cease to exist in a couple months, and that sucks. since 11/26/97, i\'ve seen a lot of the country, made a lot of new friends, and had some of the best times of my life because of these guys, and i\'ll never forget it. thanks, phish. it\'s been fun.
