I went to New York City with a friend in '98 to see Phish at all 4 New Years Eve shows at Madison Square Garden. Those were awesome, and we had a lot of fun, had a limo drive us around while we blew joints (driver was really cool), saw the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, all that stuff. The New Years Eve show itself was great, the 4:20 clock countdown was cool, the costumes were wicked, the music was awesome, and the crowd, man, they had Madison Square Garden shaking like an earthquake was hitting. I paid for the whole thing, for both me and my friend, cost was like 5-6 grand. It was a little extravagant, but memorable, and still the best vacation either of us have ever had. And a few years later, that same friend did me a favor that made me about 9 grand. I've always had good luck with karma.
