I'm 39 and from Orlando FL. My favorite band in the world is Phish. I have a 3 year old son and he knows about 20 Phish songs already! I also have a beautiful wife Vanessa and a 7 year old dog Floppy. Floppy just had back surgery in December and i actually am writing a blog on Steem about his recovery to help pay for the surgery. If you're interested, here's a link to today's post:
btw...Cool contest @coruscate
Haha I love Phish too and that’s so awesome your teaching your boy while he’s young! 😉
My boyfriends mom lived in the Orlando area, and so we head out that way to visit her every few years. I actually used to live in Pensacola, FL when I was a kid!
So sorry to hear about your poor pup Floppy! ☹️ I’ll have to go check out your post to see how he’s doing.
@coruscate, that's awesome that you're into Phish also! I've been listening to them for about 20 years now. Have you seen any shows? Are you a partyer lol?
Btw, this contest is killing it, good luck picking a winner lololol
I love Phish. I hope when I have children I can teach them that also. Your son must be very smart! I hope the best for Floppy and his recovery. I'm a fellow dog lover myself. I have two German Shephards and they are my world.
That's awesome @aisforannabel! Have you seen them live? I've seen them about 20 times probably. I grew up in Chicago so I got to see them a bit more often when they played in the midwest. Now I live in Orlando and I'm lucky if they come to Florida once every 5 years :(
I'm a youngster (I'm 21) so sadly not yet, but I have very fond memories of rocking out to them with my father in his truck. That's why I like them so much, nostalgia. I'm jealous you've seen them live. I'm sure they were amazing. (:
Phish concerts were surreal. And very chill, very friendly vibe. Lots of pot and good, decent people. I caught them a few times in high school. Lost a few brain cells at their shows, but, hey man, it's all good. I used to do a solo guitar/voice cover of "Bouncing Around the Room" when I was gigging around Washington DC.
That's amazing! I'm sure those brain cells were worth all the kick ass memories you have!
They're great memories when I remember them. I do remember my parents flipping out when I brought home a NORML t-shirt I bought at a concert. I thought they'd think it was funny. They didn't.
