Well, maybe...Phish just announced their first show in almost 5 years for next March in Hampton VA. Some people may know, but for those who don't (even though Andrew loves to tell this...) I was (and still am) a "phish phan" and saw 62 shows over a 10 year period in about 15 different states. I used to take time off from work every summer (and sometimes long weekends)to travel around from place to place to see 5 or 6 shows in a week. I followed everything the band did, what they played each night, collecting "bootlegs" of the shows (and later downloading them off the Internet)...some would have said I was obsessed...and I guess I did devote a lot of time (and money) during my 20's to Phish. 4 years later and I still love the music, and I still love seeing live shows. Now, shows that I go see are a bit different as they are usually closer to home and only 200 people there, instead of 20,000 at a phish show but it's still one of my favorite things to do. But, what to do now? I always thought that when (and if) Phish got back together, they would play there first show in Boston, NYC or even Vermont...all very convenient places, close to home, close to family...not Hampton VA! And next March is not looking like a very "convenient" time for us to travel! We'll see if I make it to the "phish reunion" tour and if Andrew makes it to his first phish show!

Why isn't it a good time to travel? That makes it sound like you are pregnant. Is there anything we should know?
