Somehow, in the prime of my phish career, I always fell backwards, admittedly luckily at times, into "good" phish decisions. And maybe sometimes it was more intuition than luck. But after attending the Aug 04 Hampton show, I sold my Coventry ticket and did not go. And have never regretted it. So I wasn't there and I didn't "need" that experience to have closure. A lot of the previous festivals and epic runs were things I needed to be at. But not Coventry...that's just me.

I'm just glad that the fun, inspiration and happiness seem to be part of the experience for the boys again.
