@Icculus Really enjoyed that podcast and your recollections, thank you.

I think the person who blessed you with all those tickets was likely Kathy Sunderland. She was on the UBCF board and very close to Phil as I remember. I got totally denied at the Sunday morning on sale at my go to super lurky lightly traveled south bay BASS outlet, and posted my melt on dead.net. She contacted me by email and said she could get me a pair to each night. I was skeptical that she was for real, and to assuage my fears, she actually invited me to her house in SF to pick up the tickets. Unreal.

As a deadhead, kimock freak, and phish fan, this was harmonic Shangri-La. Can't quite believe it actually happened.
