Phish Saves America: First pics from Hampton.
March 6th, 2009 by Leilani Polk in News, Phish Saves America
Phil, JJ and I got in to Hampton around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, grabbed our fatty Kia rental (man, do those cars have all the extras!), met up with our Seattle friend Becks in the lobby of the hotel, checked in, and did the usual new in town things. Walked up to the Hampton Coliseum, snooped around, chatted up the security dude, then moseyed back to our hotel, which is about a block away from our hotel. (We have a perfect view of the Hampton Coliseum from our third floor hotel room.) We stocked up on liquor at the state-owned store, got beer and snacky stuff at the grocery, grubbed it up at Applebees (no, we aren’t proud), then threw back a bunch and shot the shit ’til the wee hours at the room.
Here’s the coliseum at three different points:
The view from our hotel room:
Me doing a celebratory kick on top of one of the many random concrete sculptury type things outside the coliseum.
And the first several cars going into the coliseum today.
Currently, we are pre-partying at the hotel, watching cars pass by on their way into the lot, and waiting for a call from Party Joe. Will he make us come get him? Will he take a cab? Will he bum a ride off a random phan at the airport? (The last is highly unlikely, but we shall see.) For more constant updates and live setlist info, check me out on twitter: Leilani79.

I’ll have you know that I split a cab from the airport with another fan. Kind of half option 2 and half option 3. Surprised?
