We had just started playing disc golf in the Sedgley Woods of Philadelphia, when Hayden received a text from a friend. The message read:
Hey I have 4 tickets to Phish in Camden tonight at 7:30 if you want them they're going unused. $5 each
None of us had ever seen Phish live, and as a deadhead, I felt going to a Phish concert was overdue. Problem was the show started in 45 minutes, and the tickets were at a bar in downtown Philly.
We hopped on our bikes and banged out the 4.1 mile bike ride to the bar. While the deal went down, got us some Philly Pretzels. Yum! They went well with the 5 cartons of blackberries Hayden picked up from the Italian District for $1.00.
Flash-forward, we were in Camden, New Jersey at the BB&T Pavilion. This venue fits 25,000 people, and it looked at capacity. We were on the lawn. Hayden, Staci¹, , and I looking down at the sea of Phish (heads):
Now let's apply some motion:
The jams were good, and even made it onto jambands.com. The recording for the previous night's show, also in Camden, is on the Phish website (will comment when the August 8, 2018 show is up).
Flashback
Since I wanted a picture of the lightshow to be the preview photo on Steemit and Busy, I had to break the chronological order of photos. Here's a selfie from our bike ride over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, crossing the Delaware river from Pennsylvania into New Jersey.
The trip back was no less exhilarating. We took the RiverLink Ferry.
From the ferry we got a side view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, now illuminated. The breeze felt good in the sweltering August heat.
Anyways, given the low price of the ticket ($5), I'm hoping the Steem blockchain will "decide" to reimburse this expense. However, I don't plan to be converting the rewards to Federal Reserve Notes. Full Power ahead!
