A hilarious and wonderful, spot-on synopsis of what was this phan’s first NYE after 20+ years of hoping to make it some day. Expectations fully met, and then exceeded. Though it sounds cliche, I reached a place of openness, bliss, and love for each and everyone in the room... without getting too new agey I will just say that it was a profound experience, and one I’ll remain eternally grateful for.

Just one musical note - if you are going to get Farmhose’d, then it better be with a shimmeringly beautiful rendition of the tune. I’ve never been incredibly moved by seeing the tune live - I was this time. It just felt right. And speaking of being pleasantly wowed by unexpected tunes, the Waste ended up probably being the most emotional moment of the night for me, out of left field. All the feels and a few happy tears, thinking of loved ones who have passed on, and the distance traveled in the last couple decades since my personal journey with this band began. I’ll remember that as much as I’ll remember bobbing in the sea of silver...
