"95% of this thread never did a tour."

95% of this thread is glad they don't have 408 shows under their belts.

"Depending on the amount of acid you eat you should locate said girl who proclaims to handle eating a lot of acid and position yourself either very far or viewing distance from her."

stay away from dudes like this and their girls.

a few more:

if someone is wearing a visor, upside down and backwards, their prolly not worth talking to...

if someone acts insulted that you are using a digi to weigh their herb that they wanna sell- it's short as fuck

black guys with Allman Brothers Tour 1996 t-shirts are selling rat turds, not hash or opium

the midwest is pretty worthless, but damn if Phish didn't play some smokin' shows there

greyhound is ALWAYS the last solution

seeing phish in the northeast meant more

serendipity is often confused with Karma

check out the city/town/fruit stand that the band is playing at, if time permits (or even if not, if you don't care), imo, a HUGE part of the "experience"

always let a lesbian couple shack up in your hotel room

jim beam is NOT your friend

That getting busted at a Canadian Customs checkpoint on the border of Maine on the way up to Limestone for IT (we missed the exit) with herb and 3 or 4 pipes results in no legal consequences. Just confiscation.

We went through Canada and cut off all the traffic. Made it in in 2 hours.

sometimes its better to follow your heart than your head.

when you reach a critical mass of people the whole is larger than the sum of the parts

sit down before you hit that balloon

don't leave your keys in your tent EVER!

driving with loud obnoxious music will get you through the night. as stated earlier, jazz can be deadly.

rolls of toilet paper in the trunk can save your life.

many conversations throughout the day end in "see you at setbreak"

if nobody in the car was awake when you hit that kid in North Carolina and kept going, you're in the clear.

"We went through Canada and cut off all the traffic. Made it in in 2 hours"

actually buying a detailed "gazateer" or map of maine resulted in the same outcome for me without crossing borders and giving up my herb, after the first year i never waited in traffic for more then an hour, i'd simply drive through carabou, take a few back roads and join the traffic a 1/2 mile from the entrance...

i'd book a motel 6 in every city on tour as soon as tour was announced even before i decided what shows i was going to, all they needed was a name to hold a room till 6pm so if you didn't show, no harm no foul. so if the weather was bad, or you just really needed a cheap room on that particular day one was waiting for you. also, booking a room based on rumors isn't a bad idea, you can always cancel...

if planning to spend the night in a rest area i'd find one on the other side of the highway, a few miles between exits, i'd get off the highway, drive a few miles in the opposite direction to the rest area and in the morning drive a few miles to the next exit and head the other way to the next show. often the rest area on the other side of the highway where all the other people were staying would be dirrectly accross the highway and we'd pull up a cooler to one of the picnic tables, drink beers and watch the steady parade of troppers harrassing the circus that set up 100 yards away on the other side of the highway...
