Interesting. I want to vomit more after each sentence.

Personally, I can't support this - reading this is like catching my sister coming out of the bathroom without a towel or that one time I saw my parents doing the sexy time. It was messed up and it forever changed me - this is definitely Phish taboo, I will not be reading another line.

I dont understand the appeal of writing any fictionalized story in this kind of setting. It's not good writing, it doesnt seem to support any respected Phish ideal and I don't think anything previewed above hints at a good story.

Maybe I'm having a bad Monday, but this is probably the worst thing I have ever read in the Phish world. I find the fictional jabberings of spun forum users more interesting, more believable and more impactful than anything written above.

Jurgen, your writing style lends itself to reviews and essays about travel or movies better than American fiction, perhaps your stories of how you get around the world to see Phish shows would be more interesting. As a first novel, bravo and I hope you continue - but perhaps you should continue by not fictionalizing a story in a scene where the truth is stranger than the fiction.

Just my .02 cents. I'll make sure to donate to MB, since I did waste time by bashing someones creativity.
