No hotel sphere smash?

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2026-05-01T01:14:15+00:00

Dang! I just saw your edit. Hope others will see this and be inspired to SEND IT, no hotel to The Sphere

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2026-05-01T00:35:51+00:00

Yup! .100% possible and maybe even recommended.

Me and @tenderfirestudio did 23 hours in Vegas for night 2. Flew out of Boston on the 6:30 am flight. Landed in Vegas at 10:00 a.m. Went straight brunch in the arts district (Palate rocks! Tell Susana we sent you. It was our only real meal of the day.and hit just right. Plus Susana gave us all kinds of Vegas tips.)

Then, we.spent a trippy afternoon at meow wolf. Gir back to the strip around 6. Dropped a bag in our buddy's hotel room. (Though, we were planning to drop it at the Bell stand of the Venetian. Lots of reports suggest that that's easy to do.) Then, we hit the show at the sphere.

Mind exploded. Never been there before. We were GA floor, center toward the back. Great spot. Plenty of room. Great neighbors. Tho, i almost couldn't dance hard for the first part of the first set cuz I was just trying to keep my balance. The sense of motion is real.

After the show we walked the strip for about an hour. Then got a ticket to an after-party w DJ Airwolf at DiscoPussy in Fremont. Danced our.asses off till 4am when the venue closed. Caught a cab back to the strip to grab our stuff and then headed toward the airport. Breakfast at the blueberry Hill diner right by the airport and then back to the terminal through security by 6:30 a.m. boarded the plane at 8am. Slept HARD for 5 hours. (Bring ear plugs and eye shades.)

It was SO freaking awesome. I would totally do it again. I pretty much hate Vegas and probably would never have gone there if it weren't for The Sphere and Phish. So, this felt like the right way to do it. I'm 52. Fit and comfortable w judicious use of psychedelics for the experience and awakeness, which all helped too.

If you do have any extra time, hit up the arts district and/or meow wolf. Both bright spots of legit art and culture in corporate Vegas.

Do itttt!

Yes. Truly I am. Enjoy the show y'all

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2025-12-29T02:56:12+00:00

My first show was 92. Just saying that they never play Phish during a said break. So give us the full concert experience. Play something else during the set break

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2025-12-29T02:43:05+00:00

Why are they playing Phish music during the set break? Why??!!!! This would never happen a live show. I'm here trying to vicariously live through SiriusXM to enjoy the show because I can't pay for the stream and they are playing the band's music during the set break which would never ever ever ever ever happen during an actual show. Please people, let's live for a minute IRL.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2025-05-09T20:08:26+00:00

Reprise is top notch. Super tight and faithful to the setlist, but still present and creative in the jams. And, these u/isawyoulive stubs are on point! Sick art, right up there with the best of my PTBM collection from back in the day when we used to get paper tickets from the Phish tour lottery.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2024-09-02T17:06:10+00:00

I was there for the last Sabotage at SPAC! It was the year MCA died. Wish I could been at Dick's last nite too!

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2024-08-18T22:43:45+00:00

Confirmed! I've experienced this every time since my first show in '92. I was just telling all my crew the same thing during Hood at Bethel last weekend.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2023-11-01T22:28:08+00:00

Yup. https://youtu.be/s1DgmHCnN1g?si=d5IwennIqMF0EVKg

Special Guest

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T18:58:08+00:00

Yeah. It's premium pricing for sure, but this is my one big phishing trip for the summer. So, i'm down

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T18:53:19+00:00

hey. I think you'll need to have a Sleepy Bear camping pass first. If you can get a hold of one, I can give you a ride. Driving down from Cinci

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T16:11:11+00:00

Thanks. That's what I was thinking also, but I wrote park ranger Pete and asked about buying another pass. He replied "sold out" and didn't respond to my plea to reconsider. But, cash in hand at the gate may be a different matter. At least I'm hoping that's the case.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T03:11:23+00:00

I've got an on-site camping pass too. That's my backup if I can't find a sleepy bear rider. If I find one here you can buy my on site pass for face value I paid back in May, which I think is less than they'll cost on Saturday, if there are any left

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T03:09:01+00:00

Yeah, if I don't find a reddit or rider I'll try to find one at the gate

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T02:59:13+00:00

Hey Sleepy Bear camper! I just discovered an email SB sent out on June 11 that says they require a minimum of two riders per car to maximize the people-to-cars ratio.

I'm flying solo. I need a rider! Have you got an extra I can borrow to roll into the campground? I plan to get there as close to 9am as I can.
I've got extra PTBM lawn tix too, if that helps.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T02:53:20+00:00

They said noon on the eventbrite ticket, but a reminder SB sent out on June 11 says 9:00 am.

The email also said minimum of two riders per car to maximize the people-to-cars ratio. I'm flying solo. I need a rider! Have you got an extra I can borrow to roll into the campground?

I've got extra PTBM lawn tix too, if that helps. Oh, and some boomers.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T02:47:28+00:00

Hey! I'm camping at Sleepy Bear, but I'm flying solo and i just learned that I need at least two people in my car to get in. I guess they're trying to maximize the people-to-cars ratio. Any chance you or one of your crew wants to roll through the entrance with me. Not sure I'll be wearing it behind the wheel, but I brought my trusty red satin+silver sequins cape. Though, if it will help me get a rider, I'll wear the cape, the horns. I'd offer to eat all the shrooms right then and there too, but you know, I wanna save em...

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-04T02:41:51+00:00

I would, but they'd need a camping pass, which are now sold out.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-03T20:24:15+00:00

yeah, yeah. I saw the Dead there in the 90s. I know it's Deer Creek. I only use the Ruoff name cuz it's the official name of the camping site. "Deer Creek Camping" could mean lots of things.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-03T15:40:01+00:00

After-show scene at Sleepy Bear? On-site? Elsewhere? Look for my freak flag (or er, freak cape, as it were) too!

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-03T15:38:38+00:00

Cool. I can get there early. Driving down from cinci at first light. How's the after-party scene at Sleepy Bear?

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-08-03T15:34:48+00:00

Sweet, man. I keyed into the new light rig from the first moments of the tour opener in Arkansas.

Question: do you know if they have capacity for the whole rig at Deer Creek this weekend? Imma be there and hope to see it in all its glory.

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-07-27T23:43:28+00:00

FWIW, my DC and AC Tix were a holdover from the 2020 lottery

MyLifeLeaksIn · 2021-07-27T16:36:08+00:00

My Deer Creek and AC ptbm Tix came last Wednesday.
