OPT: Is Summer 2012 the ‘Sleeper Tour’? by Kernel_Forbinin phish

[–]Mentlegen 1 point2 points ago

Summer '12 is going to rage. I have no doubts about it and I'm lucky enough to see every show but Wooster and Roo.

Figured you guys would like my grinder by Slave2daTrafficLightin phish

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

Take my money right now. I'm not a fan of grinders, but I must own this.

Spent the past 20 mins looking at the rest of the pics and laughing. Thank you!

Good quality shows from the spreadsheet? by BintheGoonerin phish

[–]Mentlegen 3 points4 points ago

Not related, but if that '93 show is the New Year's one, check out KernelForbin's remaster. It's seriously ridiculous and if you haven't heard the Hood from that show, go get it now!

The Hangout Music Fest? by memoirsofsunnyin festivals

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

Did you end up doing anything? I decided to go at the last minute. It'd be cool to meet a fellow redditor and grab a beer or something.

Shoes for the Beach, for a dude by willed11in HangoutFest

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

Dude just wear regular tennis/running/whatever shoes you have. I wore some old Reeboks last year and it worked out great.

2 girls looking for a place to sleep by hi_derpin HangoutFest

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

If you don't find a place to stay by tomorrow, PM me and I'll see if I can't help you out. I decided to go last minute as well and am staying with my buddy at a condo right beside the festival. It's his room though and I'm pitching in some $ to stay there, so if you guys are cool with that, I can ask him. We're both 21 year old guys. Pretty chill, experienced show/festival goers.

Anyone going to Hangout Fest in Alabama? by Smingersin festivals

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

I'm going for the second year in the row. I've never camped, but I'm sure it'd be nice. Gulf Shores is beautiful and the festie is right on the ocean. It's paradise.

Anyone have any spares to the Worcester, MA shows? by smoothoperator327in phish

Woo! I've never been anyone's hero before. Enjoy the shows, phan. Glad it worked out so well for you.

Advice for the new noob of noobs? by bassmahfkin phish

[–]Mentlegen 1 point2 points ago

This! For the first few shows, I used to try and take pictures and/or record a video many times during the show. However, there are going to be countless videos on YouTube the next day and with people like HarpuaFSB and mkdevo recording the entire show in 1080p, there's really no reason to do it yourself. I still take a picture or two sometimes, but I've found it much more enjoyable to just leave the phone in my pocket and not worry about it until the show is over.

It's a face value ticket trading/sale community. Check it out; I highly recommend it. If you need any help with it, feel free to ask!

Try CashOrTrade; there have been a bunch there. I think there was also some guy who was looking for a ride from Boston so maybe ya'll could pool resources.

So is this a bad idea? by Pr3stig3Worldwid3in phish

[–]Mentlegen 1 point2 points ago

Probably. Why not just go to whatever section you want and try your luck if you're dead set on looking for better seats? It's a Phish show after all. My friend and I had 300/400s for MSG this NYE run and simply went into the 100s every night and spent the entire show there without a problem.

Do not take l on Friday, especially if it's your first time. In my experience with multiple day runs, it's nice to get a feel for the venue, location, the lot, etc. before tripping. I always feel more comfortable knowing my way around and having a feel for the scene when spun out than just jumping straight in. However, that's just my personal opinion. There will be plenty of fun to be had all 3 nights so I would recommend it you take it easy the first night and get settled in and rage the next two.

Other than that, just relax and enjoy the shows. You have a wonderful and magical surprise in store for you.

ISO: 2 Alpine I (6/30) Pavilions by Mentlegenin phish

There was actually a small re-release today and I got 8th row page side. Thank you though; I've been trying cashortrade for weeks!

computer engineering technical electives by raydlorin ECE

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

I go to UA, but I took an embedded systems class and highly recommend it. You learn a lot of very useful information which could be applied across many fields in the modern world. I also took PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and that was a pretty easy and fun class. I believe it's very applicable to jobs too, but maybe not for what you want to do.

Really cool. I'm a sucker for backstage/uncommon pics.

Do yourself a favor and get the SBD. I had the AUD for a while, but then when I finally got the soundboard I was blown away.

For Trade: 3 Nights of Bill Graham/2 Nights of SPAC pavilions for your Riverbend lower pavilion/pits. by BlackLotusDutchessin phish

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

I will buy a single 7/8 SPAC from you if you're willing to sell it. Also doing every show except for 'Roo and Wooster and this (besides Alpine since my seller backed out) is the only ticket I need for my buddy and I.

Bassnectar stuck around after the show tonight and took photos and autographs! (x-post from /r/Bassnectar) by Pnshrin dubstep

[–]Mentlegen 0 points1 point ago

Nah, that's understandable at 18 especially if you haven't done too many of these things before. Hope it works out for ya.

How old are you, OP? It's understandable if you're a little young, but there's nothing scary about going to shows/festies alone.
