Just got home from Vegas, and it’s making me chuckle to see the discourse around Phish at the Sphere in my mentions. Those posts blew up! So many hot takes and cultural karenification. It’s not that serious. A lot of it is coming from the self-appointed cool crowd with zero curiosity about the experience… the exact type of people who are probably anti-amusement park, anti-cruise, anti-arcade, anti-roller coaster, anti-Magic Castle or Medieval Times. Relax. Whimsy still has its place in how we spend our leisure time at a low-stakes cultural spectacle. It’s like getting mad at the catering for a wedding you weren’t invited to or something? Obviously I had a great time on my spring vacation of choice. But, like a human golden retriever, I’m also the kind of person who always has a good time in an experience instead of trying to find the misery in it. Those of us who go to Phish know we’re big old dorks and a little cringe, just like Renaissance Faire or Civil War reenactors or people who go to ComicCons. Or wrestling. Or F1. Whatever! We mostly own it. Anyway, here are some more rage bait visuals from Tweezer. This is exactly what it’s going to feel like opening up the laptop on Monday. Especially because I have to go to the dentist for the third time in a month this week..

In honor of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s big day, here’s the time, circa 2016, KillaTrav came into our office and told me about what he was looking for in a dream partner. He was promoting his dating show on the E! Network that summer.

Maggie and I met on Twitter first. Then we met IRL at a MSG Phish show. This past Saturday we got married on a gorgeous night in Marina Del Rey. As fans of whimsy, we hired an Austin Powers impersonator to fake out our guests at the wedding before coming out to Tweezer Reprise.

One more clip from my Warren Haynes interview. I thought the way he articulated the difference between the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band was profound. Such a great way of putting it.

I know Phish is sorta weird about doing BTS stuff these days, but I would love to watch a documentary about the making of the Forbins > Mockingbird animation. Heck, I hope they do a series about the inspiration & they made some of the Sphere visuals when it’s all said and done.

Phish using this visual during “Drift While You’re Sleeping” is the most spiritually-Stick Figure thing they’ve ever done. Big moments for guys named Jake that operate ski lifts.
