I'm really going to change the subject here.



well, hello all. i just got back from a few days (4 in fact) of "touring" 
with Phish. it was a pretty good time. I left Wednesday and then went to a 
show in Virginia Beach Thursday night, which was amazing! I hung out in the 
lot on Friday night because I didn't have a ticket (and I got drunk and fell 
off of an 11 foot U-haul truck, but that's a different story) and then last 
night I went to the show in Camden which was hard to appreciate because I had 
just met the girlfriend of the guy I had also been dating and I had no idea 
he had been seeing anyone else and now I feel like the bitch that fools 
around with someone else's boyfriend.....

but anyway, the point of this post, was to ask if anybody could imagine 
following OtR like all of the 1,000's of people that go everywhere Phish 
goes. I think in some ways it would be fun. I like the music alot better and 
the venues are more manageable but I guess you would get tired of the same 
show everynight and there wouldn't be the comradery that all of those 
Phish-heads have because they all travel together. 

I think I remember someone saying that in the early days, OtR did have a 
following of sorts and that each show was unique and different. Why do you 
think this has changed?

i guess i just really want to be able to see then play live again, not as 
part of the CJ, but just as who they are, with energy and passion (and in 
Pennsylvania.)

i think i need more sleep. i'm way too emotionally drained by this whole 
"other girlfriend" thing, if any of you out there pray, say one for me if you 
don't mind, because i am going to have to do some major confronting this 
afternoon and as a cronic peacemaker , that is very hard for me. i also think 
i might be saying some last goodbyes, because i think i might need to for my 
own emotional and spiritual health and it is going to be one of the hardest 
things I have ever done. 	
oh, i'm so sorry for clogging the list with all of this personal stuff. you 
all have a good day and if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading,

faithfully discouraged,
lara
