The Youngest Plans Travel
(a pictori-videopreview)
Well, I'll be damned. 80 degrees in Chicago on April Fools Day. Who doesn't like unseasonably blissful weather? Finally it's about time for us to bid a fond "fuck off" to the horrors and savage depression that accompany the harsh midwestern winter. Spring/Summer/Fall triseason has arrived...which means it's time to get the hell out of here and go somewhere fun to enjoy it.
Minnesota Camping trip - Mid May
Time to get drunk, jump in a boat, and throw out a few lines. Maybe we'll just get drunk and throw a frisbee around. Maybe we'll just do lines and talk politics. Indeed, the possibilities are endless in Paul Bunyon country.
June 11th - Chicago - Toyota Park
Alright, I know I live in (the)Chicago (area) but this shit is important. Phish kicks off their 2010 Summer tour right in my own backyard. Should I make a joke involving faulty Toyota vehicles? You know I would...but if I get going I'm scared that I won't be able to stop.
(make sure to watch until at least 0:45 of the video)
June 12th - Cuyahoga Falls, OH - Blossom Music Center
New venue for me! This is a pretty cool looking place tucked into a state forest just south of Cleveland. After taking a look at some pictures and realizing that the show was on a Saturday, how could I not go? That roof is just asking to get climbed on.
Hiatus - June 13 - Aug 5
Yet another reason to generally loathe the east coast of our country is the fact that Phish plays a shitload of shows over there. The west gets three nights in Berkeley and two in Colorado, the east gets 16 shows in states bordering the Atlantic.
August 6th-11th - Telluride, CO - Telluride Town Park
Holy shit! Two years in a row I managed to pull the hardest Phish tickets on tour. Last year was four nights at Red Rocks, this year is the tiny resort town of Telluride for two nights. It looks like Phish is following in the historic tradition of the Grateful Dead yet again.
Will I see Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Norman Schwarzkopf, Kristie Brinkley, or any other of the famous Telluride residents trying to score pharmies on lot? Who gives a shit. Check this place out.
Extra Bonus: Fri/Sat/Sun I will have to camp, fish, hike, and enjoy the area before the concerts come Mon/Tues night.
August 12th-13th - Deer Creek(Verizon Wireless) Amphitheater- Noblesville, IN
Last year I gave a ride to two complete strangers from Chicago who paid me in drugs. The '09 Creek show was fucking awesome. A sweet Drowned jam following about an hour of standing outside in a massive lightning storm during set break. For some reason, they only did one night instead of two or three like they used to, so there was no point in camping. It makes the trip a lot more fun when you can relax, get some sleep, and rage another show the next day. Plus the whole charm of Deer Creek is the fact that it's surrounded by houses that turn extra land into campsites and charge concert goers to stay.
August 14th-15th - Alpine Valley Music Theater - East Troy, Wi
If you live in IL or WI, you never miss alpine. 40,000 people in a huge lot two days in a row feels more like a mini festival than a concert. If you're a real Phish fan in the midwest, you never miss the Creek-->Alpine pilgrimage. Alpine is loooong overdue to get ripped apart by a wild show.
This was Cicinatti's Divided Sky crowd cheer from last year. Fucking awesome. Loudest I can remember...fun fun show. Listen for the guy close to the cameraman who is tripping so hard he forgets how to scream and lets out a weird unnatural noise (1:16).

First video is why they should have the Hell's Angels responsible for security at the Fish shows.
