With all the hoopla around Phish's reunion shows this weekend and the fact that we are not there I needed to channel my desire to be there with a painting inspired by my favorite band.
It’s been 5 years since Phish's breakup. That was in 2004, when the jam band played one last summer tour. They returned Friday for a reunion long awaited by me, Bert, our phriends and many other loyal phans. Now, with three shows this weekend at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia and a summer tour; I could not be happier (well being able to actually see one of the shows would make me happier)! I love going to a show, seeing my friends and cutting loose with Phish's exploratory free-form music. So far the closest the shows are to our home is Wisconsin - a 25 hour drive. Rumor has it they will be out west after June but, they have yet to announce that. I sure hope they get closer to us and we can score tickets for a show before the end of the year!

A dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be
Wasting my time with you

Wow - I love the new painting. It is crazy to see all of the Phish detail broken down. I know that you've been to a lot of shows, but that is A LOT of shows. I'm sure you guys will get to enjoy them again soon. :)
Thanks! I really love it too. It's in my kitchen and goes so well with the wall colors. I hope we get to some this summer - fingers crossed for the shows at red rocks in CO at the end of July!
