Briefly: All Signs Point to Hampton?

September 30, 2008 by Scott Bernsteinin Hidden Track12 Comments

Is the Mothership preparing to host the most important gigs in the 25-year history of Phish? According to the Merry Swankster, the quartet is on the verge of announcing a three-night comeback run at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. They actually claim that the announcement will come today, so you might want to book hotel rooms for March 6-8 on the Coliseum Drive Strip. We’ll see if today’s announcement actually pans out, but Hampton – a venue that’s hosted some of the greatest shows in Phish history – seems like the ideal place to kickoff the post-Breakup era. Stay tuned!

Thanks. Now I’m not going to get anything done for the rest of the day other than hitting the refresh button on phish.com.

This is a travesty! When will our youth learn that drugs are not the answer!

so, I’m talking to the lady at the Hampton, VA. HOliday Inn and she said the weekend of March 6-8 sold out nearly 1 year ago.
I said, really? not today?”
she replied:
“no. actually, sir. we had the entire hotel booked, mostly by one party…. nearly one year ago.”
How many Ph-Insiders are there?
