Whooohoooo! Nobody said PHISH yet....I win!

Yessss! Another Dead topic hijacked by a Phish fan.....ooooooh, where can we take this one? Any rocks that haven't been uncovered yet? Any stone left unturned?

Wait....I'm just gonna punch myself in the face first, so hold on....I'll be back in 10.

But Phish did open up for them.
