Destination:WI for Phish at Alpine Valley.

How exciting. Phish Wisconsin Camping Road Trip Traveling With Women. The other three were Lisa (good friend), Martha (acquaintance), and Liz (it's nice to meet you). Liz and Martha were navigating highways to avoid $3 in tolls on the main through fares, and we were often lost. Arrived at our campground around 8:00AM Saturday, spoke w/some folks ( Read more... )

sounds fantastic. Free is one of my all time favorites as well, and although I can't see Possum as an encore, it is another classic.

Free is beautiful. Possum was the first song I heard Phish play live, and now the last.

I'm glad you had a good time! Access me is one of my favorite songs on "undermind" i'm hoping I get one in August.

mamabird July 1 2004, 04:11:28 UTC

Yes, Access Me is the shit. I was kind of hoping they'd open with something high energy', but once this song started I didn't care anymore about the slower opener. Which shows are you going to in August?

August 10 & 11th I think it is. At the tweeter center in MA. We were going to head up to coventry after that but it's not so easy when you're broke and have a kid....lol

Glad you enjoyed yourself, despite how steep that damn lawn is. The setlist looks good!

mamabird July 1 2004, 04:01:53 UTC

The setlist was so great. I thought it was made for me! So weird to think it's my last show though. Are you really gonna make it out to Coventry?

Hard to say at this point. It's been about a week since Deer Creek so some of that initial "I need to see them again, wherever, whenever" desire has subsided. However I know I'm going to be very very sad come August 16th if I don't go, and for a minute there, it seemed like everything was falling into place. We'll see what happens with this kid's extra ticket, I guess.

Alpine was great, but didn't you feel like you were surrounded by preppy frat boys?

mamabird July 1 2004, 03:59:15 UTC

Actually no. A lot of the fans weren't as enthusiastic as I'd prefer (including some people I'd arrived with), but most everyone I spoke with felt like home, brothers and sisters. Maybe I had my preppy blinders on.
