Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

An Oversight

I haven’t yet publicly thanked my new friends Chris and Martin, who invited me to Chicago and put me up and gave me tickets for no other reason than I made them laugh. This has been an oversight: these are good men, and while I like to percolate on shit, they should have been appreciated and thanked prior to now.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks to everyone else reading all this nonsense, but in a much, much lesser way. Not even comparable amount of thanks that the guys who miracled me three fucking nights in Chicago and a couch and HOLY SHIT one of ’em made me FUCKING BREAKFAST and the rest of you sit there expecting THE SAME KIND OF THANKS AS THESE TWO ANGELS OF HEAVEN?

Not on my watch: all the thanks for Chris, ditto for Martin. If, while consuming their thanks, scraps fall to the ground, you may fight over them. Stories about them soon; thanks, now.

You’re getting weird earlier and earlier lately.

    That’s actually really, really cool. I’m so glad you got to go and that these guys made it happen. I hope one day I can be lucky enough to experience something as wonderful as this or be able to do this for someone else!

    Come to think of it, I could actually just get a Sugar Da-

    I need a time out.

          YAAAAAAAY. You will have fun.

          Don’t get in strangers’ vans. There isn’t helium in those balloons. That man does not need help looking for his puppy; there is no puppy.

          Stay away from Mike.

        I’m truthfully nervous to go without parents (though I’m taking a friend) because I don’t want to run into any creeps. But everyone says Phans are super nice! Is this true?

        And holy shit I’m gonna keep my eyes peeled for Mike lel

        • thoughtsonthedead

          Phish Persons are very nice.

          Perhaps we could find you a Phish Phriend or two.

      • maggiemay

        Okay, good!!!! I won’t let my guard down, but I know I’ll have a great time.

        Omg hmu fam

    Having met Mike and the whole band way back in Charlottesville in 1991?ish, I would say Mike is one of the “normal” ones. Met him several times since. Phish is the ultimate goofnut and definitely one to watch out for. As for the lot…..well, there are some things they don’t teach ya in school. You will have a blast!

    • maggiemay

      Thanks man! Yeah, I’m certain it will be a shock for me. But it’s important to get out of the bubble and see another way of life!

    Oh yeah, Chris Martin IV runs Martin guitars, still building em since 1833 God bless em!
