Where is Gary Johnson?

21. I used to try to convince myself that they weren't a Dead ripoff, as talented as they are.

I like to think of them as the Dead without gravitas... although at only 7 shows i probably don't qualify as a fan

I always wo dered hpw all these kids could afford to "go on tour" with phish for months on end. At the great went in 97 i saw one of the coolest things. These 4 kids had a vw microbus parked right at the gate... they had an old pizza oven bolted into the microbus... and a sign for "super fatty dank french bread pizza"... for 4 dollars a slice. They had stacks and stacks of pizza trays, selling that shit as fast as they could make it! They had a froggin duffel bag FULL of cash! It was amazing. In exchange for 2 of them ducking out during the encore to fire up the pizza oven, they made 4 a slice, probably 24 slices a tray, as fast as they could crank out the pies.

Paynfor the tour? Shit... they paid for the tickets, travels expenses, and probably banked a ton of dough on top of that!
