This was my first California Phish show. I have three states where most of my Phish activities have taken place, New York, Colorado & California.

I flew out from Colorado, after seeing Phish at Pikes Peak, Vail & Boulder, to visit my sister. My sister was more of a Madonna, Duran Duran music lover than anything coming close to Phish. I think the only song she knew was Divided Sky.

Anyway, I talked her into getting tickets and heading up to Ventura. She was reluctant to go but indulged my fanatical, albeit 18 month old obsession with Phish.

Ventura Theater is a lovely venue. It was an intimate GA show. We were on the floor and I remember calling out for Harpua - always hopeful. I remember digging alot on the theatre and feeling that is was a solid show but nothing mind blowing.

My sister said she met some cool people but the music wasn't her scene. She never saw them again - I took my mom the MSG on 12/30/94 and Red Rocks 8/4/96. My dad I took to the Royal Albert Hall in London on 6/16/97.

My sister at Ventura was a memorable night. Great theater, great show, great memories.
