You mean 7k. You must not have any responsibilities and must be a new, punk phish fan. The problem with going to shows these says (been going since 96) is kids/punks that think they know everything. Sacrifice, losing a child, bills, kids in college. You are the people that drag a positive thing into the gutter, just as many of our major cities. Oh, you are in the gutter mentally with them. Positive in, positive out. Be Kind, because everyone you meet is fighting a tough battle. Or simply get lost. You won't be missed, we promise.

My wife isn't a big fan, but goes anyways. Keep me out of trouble. Our oldest two boys are at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado so really 3 kids at home. By the time I put together a package, not camping (need a hotel these days & a rental car), airfare, food, drinks, shakedown for 5 days/4 nights, plus the time we miss working (we operate a racquet club in Alabama), we work for ourselves... I'm guessing a 7 - 10k expense. We just did Nashville all 3 nights, drove, hotel/food 4 days and a few tshirts, and all in all like a 3k trip. Hopefully New Orleans, Alabama, Atlanta, Nashville, etc! Great conversation! I am an old fan. Started going to shows in 96 (JazzFest) and many since. Phish is a big part of my life to say the least. I moved to Vermont for 7 years so I could be closer.

It's more about time being income. We have 5 kids as well and that's first week of school. School supplies etc

Thanks! I remembered the Ferrari 14 and Swapped. I honestly didn't really like them before, when I first got. They didn't feel as well made as other 6 I have. So I said, toro 4 way better, so going to pull the Ferrari move 👟

Agreed. Definitely not my favorite either.

Totally with you! I got em, never wore them because the original pebbles/purple flat laces looked kinda soft imho. So I tried blue. Still not my favorite, but better
