Last time I saw a gig at the Glen was 45 years ago. The Dead, the Band, the Brothers. Hitch hiked, no ticket, no money, lots of fun.
This Phish show sounds great. I think I'll go a bit more prepared this this time.

the best thing about this is the amount of young Phans that won't be able to be at Lockn' or maybe even Peach because of this.

I honestly don’t think either fest will affect the attendance at the other in any noticeable way. People who are going to a Phish fest in New York weren’t going to a DeadCo fest in Virginia anyway, and vice-versa.

I agree that there shouldn't be a significant effect, but I am sure as hell doing both - and thankful to not do the 22 hour drive back & forth to Dick's like I did last year. 7 hours to/from Watkins to RVA is going to feel like driving around the block (comparatively speaking...)

I hear ya about seeing the country. I feel like these days a flight to Denver wouldn't be much more expensive than gas to drive all the way there and back though.I've driven 51 hours coast to coast straight through before to see the Grateful Dead.

Did it so we had the RV.... and for the experience, at age 48 not sure I'd have that opportunity again.

Glad I did it, we had a blast, but wouldn't do it again.
I developed a new-found hate for the state of Kansas. 9 hours of flat, straight, NOTHIN' as far as the eye can see, and I've driven US 50 from Reno across Nevada, so I can appreciate driving in the middle of nowhere... And as I think about it, oddly enough, that drive was to see Phish as well.

Maybe so. We were also too poor to afford hotel rooms which is why we drove around the clock. Average gas prices in 1988 were $0.91/gallon. Did nine days cross country, tickets, food, lodging, gas and favors for $400. One show costs me that these days. Feb 27, 2018 10:45:52 GMT -5 @stoutmonster said:I hear ya about seeing the country.

I actually was looking at what the deal would be to fly to Watkins, but I think by the time I flew into somewhere like Rochester and rented a car or whatever to drive the rest of the way it wouldn't really be worth it.

Exactly the reasons we took the RV last year... Flight, car, hotel would have cost about the same as gas & camping pass at Dick's - plus we stopped & had White Castle in KY, fantastic BBQ in KC, etc.Feb 27, 2018 10:56:46 GMT -5 @stoutmonster said:I actually was looking at what the deal would be to fly to Watkins, but I think by the time I flew into somewhere like Rochester and rented a car or whatever to drive the rest of the way it wouldn't really be worth it.
Not to mention 22 hours of "Holiday Road" on repeat....

Yeah RV changes the equation significantly since that replaces hotel costs.

The difference in gas costs between an RV and a car can cover hotel costs, generally. But there are other considerations in comparing the two modes.
Used to be, camp grounds were a cheap alternative but I understand they are pricey now due to "improvements and features."

This is why I won't go to Ocean City Md. ever again.
This is more my speed
Not there is anything wrong with Maryland, or Ocean city. I just don't like beaches where there are other people between me and the surf...

Because the gods are fickle and revel in your pain?I really want to go to this but why does it need to be the weekend before Lockn. 
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Maybe that. Or maybe they know I'm a sucker and will continue to whine, shitpost about how unfair it is. All while entering my credit card info and PTO requests. Because the gods are fickle and revel in your pain?I really want to go to this but why does it need to be the weekend before Lockn.
