...Summer Tour that is!!If you don't know Whit and I, our favorite band by far is Phish. We love how good the music is - it's all about the quality of the music. Phish is a jam band, and they can create SUCH amazing music on the spot. We don't like pop songs on the radio that require absolutely no musical talent and their only quality that people like is that it's catchy. But another great thing about Phish is the experience (hmm, spoken like a true phan). It is SO fun to be part of a community who is all following the same thing and has the same passion - particularly when it's SO rare to find people like that in every day life! It definitely points me to the Christian community and how much greater it is to follow Jesus, but it for sure still fun to just be chill and hang out with other fun people who like to listen to good music.
Whit and I's favorite dates have been Phish shows. We were SO blessed to get to go to the reunion at Hampton Coliseum when Phish got back together after 4 years.
The next summer we went to Asheville and Knoxville together. My favorite part of Asheville was singing the lyrics to Golgi Apparatus, "I saw you with a ticket stub in your hand" after finally scalping a ticket 30 minutes before the doors opened.
We went to Portsmouth, VA last year to kick off Summer Tour 10 with a bunch of our friends.
10 minutes from my parents' house we experienced the best show of the year at Merriweather in Columbia, MD.
We had fun road tripping across NC to see them in Raleigh and Charlotte (and then we went to the OBX to see Whit's family). 
Looking forward to creating great memories together as we enjoy the experience of our favorite band/hobby this summer! Right now it looks like we will go to 5 shows - 3 in New Jersey and 2 in Columbia. What a bummer that the other 3 closest shows to us (that we got to go to last year) - Raleigh, Charlotte, and Portsmouth - all happen the week we go to Colorado! And Columbia is actually only 2 days before but we're going to try to make it! We are crossing our fingers that they will play 3-4 nights in Red Rocks, Colorado when we are out in Fort Collins this summer (but not the weekend of my brother's wedding!). Bring on Summer Tour 2011!!
