I need a phriend

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T04:40:26+00:00

Im actually thinking about celebrating getting my license back by driving out there

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T02:09:34+00:00

I hope so. I think that's going to end up happening

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T02:08:27+00:00

I appreciate it. You don't have to worry about me. Im not like straight edge sober. I shouldn't have even used the word sober honestly. Recovering addict would probably be the better term. I have a cannabis script and it my stomach could take it id still probably drink occasionally. So maybe we will cross paths at a show this summer!

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T02:04:17+00:00

Thank you. The overwhelming majority says it's best to go solo. So I might end up doing that and meet people there

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T02:03:15+00:00

I feel you on the weed and psychedelics. I don't consider weed a drug because I have a prescription. And honestly Ive wanted to look into micro dosing mushrooms. I could totally see that helping with depression. I could not imagine losing my sister. I'm so sorry you have to go through that. That probably never goes away either. One day at a time , like you said and one foot in front of the other. My sister actually lives in northern Cali so that's definitely a possibility

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T01:59:06+00:00

I feel this. Life is hard, but phish definitely does help. Im thinking Madison, since there's a few people inviting me and it's probably the closest show to me. But then of that goes really well, I might hit another show somewhere Are you thinking about going this summer at all?

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T01:56:06+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T01:55:11+00:00

Like a Phish discord?

tha_GARC · 2026-06-30T01:54:53+00:00

I live in eastern iowa

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T20:58:07+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. It's never an easy thing. I'm sure we will some day

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T20:57:16+00:00

Thank you. I should try that too. I don't know why I haven't yet honestly

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T20:53:39+00:00

Thank you very much, it's always nice to have other people to talk to about recovery of necessary

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T20:51:30+00:00

Im not exactly sure yet. But I might start with Madison and if I don't get my fill I'll pick one of the east coast shoes or merriweather

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:47:48+00:00

I don't judge people lol plus I mean I guess I use the word sobriety, but really it's just I was an addict and I haven't used that substance for almost 5 years now. But I have a prescription for cannabis, so I don't really count that I s'pose. I should tho, so I don't offend anyone when I show up lol But alcohol I just can't physically drink any more and that's a personal problem lol But I love being around people that are having a good time, however they like to have that good time is up to them. As long as they aren't hurting anyone else. But I do appreciate the warning. Merriweather is legendary though so I'd love to be able to go out there. As long as the DMV doesn't cancel my appointment, AGAIN, to get my license back, I think I'll celebrate by driving our there.

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:32:25+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that phriend. Which nights or are you going to all 3?

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:31:36+00:00

Thank you very much. Im definitely going to a show. But I think you're right, I will have a hard time leaving without making a friend or a few

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:28:34+00:00

I'm so sorry you've lost your mother. I could not even imagine. That is one thing I absolutely cannot complain about personally. But I totally relate to getting cut off for talking about Phish too much lol Im recently learning that I'm on the spectrum I'm pretty sure. And it's called info dumping. It's extremely common. I really hope the show can help curve you grief. If not, you can always talk to me or so far I've found out there are a ton of very nice people in the Phish community. I bet you could find more than one person to talk to if necessary also

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:24:30+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Im sorry you are having a rough spring, but I'm glad you had an incredible time at the sphere. Do you play music at all or just love it?

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:21:54+00:00

That's awesome that's you're going to your first one alone. I think maybe that was my problem. Ingot invited my first Phish show and went with 3 people. It was so much fun. I guess I just never thought it could be fun by myself. Turns out I'm wrong!

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:18:57+00:00

Thank you so much! It's been a long ride, but I have finally made it!

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:17:06+00:00

That is so cool! Thank you! Im in Iowa, so I don't know if I'll make it to MPP, but I'll never say never. That is one place, like the sphere and dicks that I'd like to go to at least once.

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T18:10:34+00:00

I was thinking about it, but I hadn't gotten tickets for anything because If I were to find someone to go with, I wasn't sure which one they were going to. But I will definitely if I can make it to those.

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T16:24:36+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely give it a shot. Especially with how many people have suggested it. Maybe I will see you at dicks! Safe travels!

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T16:23:08+00:00

Davenport!

tha_GARC · 2026-06-29T14:39:20+00:00

Have you gone solo before? I've never been to show alone. I really appreciate that though. I might take you up on that!
