Like the waves crashing
on a shallow beach, the noize cycles in and out with the quick
moving tide, Or the breathing of some giant beast whose exhale
is a deafening whisper.
This city never sleeps, it grumbles
and howls all night long. Even though we're 7 floors up its as
if we've pitched a tent next to grand central station. Were one
block from MSG, with a great view of the town.
Last nights dinner landslided its way thru my colon like a pint
of draino.

Whatever.
The Power in Not
Taking Advantage
"Even
when a great resentment is reconciled, some resentment must linger.
How can this be made good?"
"That is why enlightened people hold the left side of the
contract* and do not censure others. Those with power are in
charge of the contract, those without power are in charge of resolving
it. The Tao in Nature has no favourites. It always acts through
the good person."
Whenever there is an obligation between two individuals, it is
the responsibility of the more powerful person to avert the possibility
of lingering resentment; resentment that could cloud future events.
When enlightened people hold the "left side" of the
contract, they know that they can attract power through compassionate
and generous behaviour. They also know that if, on the other
hand, they use their advantage to demand fulfilment from the
other party they will engender a resentment that one day might
harm their endeavours.
Instead, through their magnanimity they use their advantage to
create appreciation and harmony. Thus they pave the way to a future
more aligned to their needs. Should the other party not fulfil
their obligation, enlightened people gain a deep understanding
of when and with whom to enter agreements. Such an understanding
will protect them throughout life.
* The word contract derives from the ancient term describing the
bamboo tallies that were inscribed with the details of an agreement,
then split into two. The right side was held by the debtor, the
left side by the creditor.
In relationships, I’ve noticed how conflicts can be resolved
by one side simply removing the “pride” element from
their position in a dispute. Pride seems to be the enemy of a
harmonious relationship. Pride also seems to be a quality that
is opposite to the Tao that assumes the lowest position.
5-7-03-Incredible!
Hmmmm , im giving Danker Nugs away for free..- He's simply
taking it from Phenster.com and trying to sell it back to you......
He also
stole my euro"DOH" sticker, the weekapaug groove/coca
cola, the 6-up,& the frid-ol Day. Which he removed a short
time ago after some letters arrived at his office.
5-4-03- im super busy getting ready for tour. Nothing exciting happens here, Florida is boring. The Blog will be interesting when we begin to travel again, so im not going to bother writing the most mundane details of my day until then.

My Big Cypress poster
was placed in the Seminole Tribe museum.
This is the 4 year anniversary
of Phil and Phriends.
I will try to tell the astonishing tale
in lavish detail.
Those of you who know me have heard the
tale before.
An experience to go unrivaled for a long
time. Get ready.

4-14-03-It
's coming...
4-13-03- The lies that the US will just leave the middle east are fucking outragous. This war is going to go on and on and on and on.......
4-12-03-Finally
came up with some feasible tour plans.. Either drive to Tenessee
and leave our car some where and meet up with Jay and Robbie and
the rest of the crew in Bonnaroo. Or drive with Jay to Bonnaroo
and back to Vt or ny after june15 , pick up Matt (or not) and
do Dead tour throgh the 29th, which gives us 7 days to get to
pheonix after I drive with jay back to Vail. Then I must decide,
3 days at Red Rocks with the Dead or the beginning of Phish tour.
Either way jump in with J and R from The 
Gorge
on>>.
4-11-03-Why oh why oh why oh...
4-10-03- What an awesome week its been. Ive created so many new ideas i dont know where to begin.
4-9-03-
Is it just me? Or is The population of Iraq so conditioned through
fear into having to cheer for who ever is in power that particular
decade ,that the jubilant crowds in Iraq chanting "We love
Bush" are just as contrived and propaganda driven as when
they were chanting "We love Saddam?"
I think the smiling faces are veiling a deep resentment.
("Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!"-The Who.)
4-8-03-Time
passes slowly when your sitting in limbo....I create and I wait,
there's a faint song in my head all day long .Songs that when
I hear them , I remember myself dancing, and how the weather was
that day.
We as a fan base were more tribal. It was obviously a different
time .......thinking about it reminds me of Summer tour mostly.
There's just so much more to the experience when the weathers
nice. 98 being my favorite year of phish because im a cover song
fiend, and it was amazing weather . The mid west was a most pleasing
musical run. I remember spunadently leaving my bike krypto-locked
to a fence somewhere in starlake, I remember driving on the back
of the golf cart in Oswego, the rainstorm during purple rain in
red rocks, lightning striking during Taste in North Carolina 95,
the Free during a nasty lightning storm in Ohio .I remember Trey
thanking us for not being like the fans at the apocalyptic Woodstock
II. I remember the "Can you hear me knockin" jam to
end Weekapaug, in sunrise fla 94, Highway to hell the next night
in Orlando, probably the highest ive ever been at a show besides
The Warfield when Phil and Phriends played. That by far was the
most amazing musical experience I've ever had .I will have to
dedicate a page alone to document that experience. I remember
the chandeliers during Chalkdust at the fillmore in 98, I remember
Ken kesey asking me to be a Bozo and then later on screaming --"Frankenstein's
on Fire again !! Frankenstein's on Fire !!" I remember
Water in the sky>Drown in North Carolina in the pouring rain,
the sunsets and fog machine from the Gorge, Terrapin Station and
the Va beach police, I remember bellbottom blues, I can recall
Paul Languedoc getting arrested in the lobby of the hotel in Worcester,
I remember taking a short cut leaving the great went and avoided
the traffic jam, I remember the fatty Trey lit up to light the
fuse that sparked up the stage at the lemonwheel, the Art jam
where we moved the painting across the crowd to set it on fire
, and how Trey whispered 'OH WOW! into the mic" when it was
set ablaze. I remember the lights from Simple in star lake 98
were all pink and purple, I remember Chewbacca,RC I remember Bart
catching the FOB tapers, I remember all the Burlington kids, and
the YEM from UIC 98. I remember losing it to the rocky mountain
way, and Paul L handing us a Sierra Nevada after the show! all
the beer we snuck into msg , Kuroda keeping our beers cold during
the show in MSG NYE. I remember fishmans lights going half out
on his Suspicious Minds Elvis cape in atlanta 95,
I remember Carl Perazzo's bell chimes during Timber Ho 96 , The
guy who climbed the ski lift and was shooting off Roman candles
during Simple at Sugarbush 95 and the Large George Jetson Doll
that did the whole 95 summer tour. Burger Balls. Uno cards,grilled
cheeses, and sammy smiths......... I almost forgot...
4-7-03-TAB Internet lottery?? Oh brother...
Baba
Olatungi died today on his own birthday.
Play some music to honor his passing.
4-5-03-Theres a Time/Life "sounds of the 70's" CD set being sold on TV called "Dreamweaver's" It has every fantasy cover song Phish hasn't played yet.
THANK
ICCULUS!
2003
summer tour
4-4-03-
Its been a hectic week. I have so many projects going at once
its hard to keep track of it all.
But im pleased to say that most everything is running smoothly.
The weather has been beautiful, cool at nite , hot today. Gathering
everything together, gonna make it all work out. Its hard to stay
in touch with everyone but i will try to make contact with everybody
this weekend when my phone is free.
4-2-03-Depression can be the sand that makes the pearl-Joni Mitchell
3-31-03-
Can someone explain how this is possible? I did it over and over
again and it nailed it 100%
We think its a timing thing. Psychic
Computer . Thank you for you responses!
3-30-03-The
creative process is screaming along. The Juggernaut is
at it again.
3-28-03-
Its
amazing how excited everybody is! This is going to be the best
summer of our lives!
Phish
to destroy Limestone August 2 & 3 2003
3-25-03-I
call first"Dibbs" on using this parody!
Pennywise
sez "Come on up to Limestone!
& bring
the kids!"
"This
time, all proceeds will go into aviation improvements
at the base,
which was once home to B-52 bombers and other warplanes."
TRANSLATION:?
We will be rebuilding and reinstating
a military air base here again because
of the totally fucked up world we live in, good bye limestone.
3-26-03-Dead
tour begins in Bonnaroo and continues thru July where I'm betting
that they will play
Red Rocks July 6 7 & 8.This means you can do the whole Dead
tour ,skip the first few Phish shows to catch Phil at Red rocks
, then jump on Phish tour all the way to Limestone ,then finish
up the summer with the 2nd leg of Dead tour> and then do
whatever summer festivals are left!

3-25-03-Holy
Moley! 21 SHOWS!
3-25-03- I'm
Listening to Pink
Floyd 2-28-80 in AWE
, those shows must have been absolutely incredible.
If you have a copy of Pink Floyd doing The Wall live in 1980 bust
it out , it holds an intense relevance today.
3-24-03-Its
been a day or two since my boys from NC came down for the winter
music festival. We had a
good time, you all are always welcome! They ran into Dj's they
wanted to meet and I adopted a new kitten that wandered into my
yard "Little Man". I cant
wait for Limestone.
3-20-03-
LIMESTONE?!This is the best news I'veheard all
year !
This will help us in the "TURNING AWAY."
I'm
absolutely appalled at the way the war is being brought to us
as a form of FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT.
Its a disgusting reflection of what mankind has become.Anger
is not the emotion. Absolute contempt and apprehension of the
diabolical future that is looming in the near future, makes me
uneasy.
3-19-03- Well , I've had
the chance to listen back and forth from TAB to Phish and i have
to stand by my earlier statement that TAB
is better for dancing because it's more mature music. And
in my book better dancing=more fun. More fun=better. Granted if
you catch "show B" where trey conducts the band for
20 minutes you will want your money back at the end of
the show. Show A on the other hand Trey is
spraying us down with the hose. IE: First nite RED ROCKS 2002.
A factor that simply IMHO did not happen this winter .
(8 minute Free?! yawn.)(back to back sample?? Weak.) They've
gotten too big and there are too many gawzers"eye
humping" Trey instead of raging.
Even on TAB tour , especially TAB tour.
Phish is a GREAT HOBBY,
like collecting stuff or watching a long running
soap opera, waiting for the
next big EPISODE, because they have a pattern of busting out huge
out of NOWHERE.
& us Totally brainwashed fans will relentlessly follow
them around hoping to hear some deviation from the
NORM.
And we call it amazing.

3-18-03-We buried Tootsie , my dog of 12 years today. We all cried but are relieved as well.
3-17-03-I
hope someone writes some good music while all this suffering is
going on. Walls of the Cave just isn't going to cut it for me
, We need more heartfelt soulful sounds to sum up the wickedness
going on.
Although it does seem that Round Room is a protest album,
remarking on the sign of the times.
In
a whole world full of instability and war, there's one thing you
can always count on: Oatmeal,its not just for breakfast
anymore.
3-15-03-HAPPY
63rd BIRTHDAY PHIL!
It
looks like genius has a soft spot for March!
3-14-03-Happy
birthday Einstein!
When asked how World War III would be fought,
Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War
IV would be fought: "With sticks and stones!"
