a very PHISHIN' new year!

When Phish is in town Kevin and I will be there.  Phish's New Years runs are always pretty amazing.  This year Phish decided not to do a fall tour so it was clear that we would be in for some pretty epic New Years shows. 

We went 4 nights in a row.  It was the absolutely incredible but so exhausting.  Kevin and I have decided we are getting too old to hang like we used to... sad but true.

Phish always does something amazing on New Years Eve.  Last year a ton of Broadway dancers danced to the song Meatstick on stage while Phish soared over the crowd in their hotdog from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (this must sound so weird to someone who doesn't know Phish, haha).

This year a dozen people on the floor got hoisted up in the air and danced around.

These 4 shows brought my show count is now up to 25!  Can't wait for the next one!!!

watch this!!!

Here is the music video my brother Merrick's band, Third Nature, just recorded on the John Lennon bus!

I am so proud of Merrick, Will and Tom!!!  I love you guys so much!!!

good old phamily phun!

On Saturday (6/19) morning Kevin, Alex, Max and I loaded up our rented Chevy Traverse and hit the road for SARATOGA!!!  I have to say that Saratoga Springs, NY might be one of the greatest places I have ever been/lived.  Since graduating from Skidmore in 2007 I haven't been back nearly as much as I would like and I am hoping that will change over the next few years.  We got to stay in Northwoods (the new on-campus apartments that we lived in our senior year) and even had to get our own keycards made, hahaha.

Kevin and I absolutely LOVE Phish.  It is so much fun to love Phish the way Kevin does and be able to share the same excitement at every show we see together.  Last year we saw 7 shows together, it was amazing.  The two we the weekend before last brought me to 11 shows total and Kevin to 14 shows total.  We rode over to each show in a trolley, isn't she a beaut!

 Both the shows were AWESOME!!!

It was such an amazing weekend and I am so happy that I got to spend my birthday weekend with my phamily and phriends!!!  Thank you to everyone who made my birthday weekend so special.

Can't get enough good old phamily phun!

cake forearms.

Phew the weekend before last was the best weekend ever!  It was so full of great music, good friends and lots of dancing. So Friday night (6/18) was my brother's concert in Brooklyn.  Kevin, Cobe, Max, Alex and I gathered at our apartment and then headed to Brooklyn on the subway.  We got off the L in Brooklyn in the middle of the warehouse district, it was a little sketchy but we kept going until we came across 538 Johnson Ave.  After climbing very graffiti covered stairs and strolling down a graffiti covered hallway we stepped foot into Lou's huge loft apartment.  My brother's were setting up all their gear on the stage in the living room area. 

It was so awesome to see my brothers on my birthday!!!  I love them both so much and I am so happy Nick is home for the summer.  I can't wait to see much more of them in the next couple months.
