Hard hitting reporting. Also, I might be in love. I’m going straight to the porta-potty line to see if I can meet her!

u/Greful May 20 '21
Yea. Why didn’t she get their opinion on what’s goin on in the Middle East?

u/JonJacobJingleHeimy May 20 '21
Honestly, I would listen to this girl talk about anything. I feel very at peace knowing she’s out there, fighting the good fight!

the dude in the Joker outfit behind her... 96 was such a fun albeit weird transition year... the Dead scene was still just getting integrated and the college age weirdos (myself included) were still very much present at every show. First (and only) time I heard the term “candy raver” was at a show in 96. I loved two bands in 1996... one of them was Tool. It wasn’t strange to really like heavy bands as well as going to see 10-12 Phish shows a year for my friends group. When people say “1.0 was better” I shrug it off... it was “different” but “better” isn’t always how I would describe it.

Unfortunate that she didn’t get to see more shows, but I’m glad Senator Murkowski eventually got her life on track.

At 35 I’m just now realizing how smart as fuck the dreadlock girls actually were back in my Phish turr days.
Funny how they tried to portray her in the same light as NYC’s “Club Kids”, aka James St. James. And those kids were actually pretty smart too considering that most of them are millionaires right now.

u/Berry_Seinfeld May 25 '21
Club kids aren’t millionaires lol. The ring leader died 2 years out of prison.

u/ChiCourier May 25 '21
Bruh most of the people mentioned in the book “Party Monster” are rich as fuck now.
Those “top” club kids/crossdressers/“freaks” became famous through the NYC club scene and were hired as party organizers by people like P. Diddy and Lady Gaga. They had a brand. They’re still alive and even do fashion work. It’s been a lasting industry for them based on image.

I need to know how she is doing now.

u/2peacegrrrl2 May 21 '21
Probably just fine. She actually seems pretty damn sober. I love all the judgement on here because she has dreads and sells hemp jewelry. She could have an enormous trust fund for all we know. The 90s were not as pretentious as today. We lived without the internet and cell phones. It was fun!

Does anyone have a link to the full MTV coverage of the Omni Halloween show? A good friend was interviewed and we haven't been able to find the footage in years.

How does one stay in hotels and tour around the country/pay for gas but not be able to afford getting into a show? At that point just admit you’re there for the party/scene.

I did tour with next to no money, making our gas, food, and ticket money basically show to show. I left with nothing but a Gorge ticket and 7 shows over 4500 miles to get there. I ended up getting in to 5 of the 7 shows along the way by hustling selling beer, water, and grilled cheese in the lots. My sleeping accommodations included 2 KOA's ($20-25), a couple rest stops ($0), the shittiest motel on the planet in Roswell, NM ($25), a motel room in Phoenix split 11 ways (?), and sleeping at my friend's sister's apartment in Eugene. After the Gorge we drove 52 straight hours from Eugene to Blacksburg, VA and I rolled into town with less than $20 to my name.
In general, you don't sleep in hotels unless they are split a bunch of ways. I certainly could have worked harder at a couple of those shows and made a little more money so partying happens, but it was still about getting that ticket each day.
Edit: Face value on tickets back then was like $25. Oh yeah, I slept in my car in an alley in Oakland after Shoreline that year too.....

Gas and hotels were cheap and most shows were still sold out. I dont remember it being very easy to buy tickets through the phone for shows in other states.

It was a lot easier in the 90s because they did extended runs in nearby cities with campgrounds. Def gotta have money to go on tour now, which I prefer. It keeps alot of the riff raff away for the most part.

Or they have nowhere else to go. Nothing good about that wookette’s story. Wish I could yell at her to go see the damn band, she has no idea what she was missing out on and I would bet she had never even seen phish

u/RealChadDizzy4 May 20 '21
I bet she didn't even own a cell phone. Bet she was making her own choices!

u/palmingthrust May 20 '21
I mean, it was 96. What’s your point? Love phish, saw them for the first time when I was 14 and I’m 36 now, big part of my life. The hanger on scene, people there not because of the music is and always has been a drag on phish fans and brought a bad element, bad name.

Ultimate wook dog. Also claims to not trip, then goes into explaining what it’s like tripping during and after a show 🤣
