I don't see why they waited so late to announce this. People are going to riot in the lot harder than 1995 Deer Creek

A STATEMENT FROM PHISH
Dear friends, our Phish family..
The four of us are writing this from directly behind the stage at Watkins Glen. We were about to walk onstage only moments ago for our traditional soundcheck jam for Curveball when we were told the heartbreaking news that due to the unsafe water conditions in the Village of Watkins Glen, our beloved festival is being canceled.
We are still in shock. The entire site is already set up and ready to go after literally months of work by our beloved hardworking crew, many of whom have been here for weeks. Our families are here, our gear is set, our tents are up. We keep waiting for someone to come over and tell us that there is a solution, and that the festival can go on. Unfortunately, it is not possible.
We are so terribly sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing so many of you. We hope from the bottoms of our hearts that at the very least this news will reach you before too much disruption takes place in your personal lives. We know that people traveled far, at great expense. We understand that people are missing work, and changing their schedules around.. we wish so much that there was some way that this wasn’t happening.
This summer has been absolutely joyous, with each gig building on the previous one, and we were all buzzing with excitement about Curveball. Please accept our deepest apologies for the disruption that this has caused all of you.. We wish there was something else we could say.
Thank you all from the depths of our souls for the joy that you continue to share with us every night. This has been the greatest summer we can remember.
Travel safe and know that we are as heartbroken as all of you. We are standing back here behind the stage, at our party that we’ve been planning for over a year, and we have just told that it won’t happen. There’s just nothing we can do.
Thank you all for your understanding.
With Love,
Phish

boy,

man,

God,






shite...






We were already seated on the plane, with the last few latecomers getting on when my buddy, who was 3 rows ahead of me, sends a text saying “show cancelled”. Since we were sending crap texts to each other a few minutes earlier, I thought it was odd.

Then he walks down the aisle of the plane and says, “no man, for real—shows cancelled”...I logged onto Phish.com from my seat to confirm.

We immediately grabbed our bags and got off the plane at MSY. Had we gotten the message 5 minutes later it would have been too late, and it would have probably turned into a damn expensive weekend. We were connecting in LaGuardia, so we would have said “frick it—lets dick off in manhattan for 3 days”.

Tickets are refundable...Delta flight can be used again—I travel a good bit...Hilton in Rochester for tonight will probably be refunded (past the 24 cut off time— but am Hilton Diamond level).

I did spend about $1k on all new camping gear that I won’t use this weekend, but I needed new gear anyway, as mine was 25 years old and not up to surviving the elements as well as it should be...and it gives me a great reason to go catch another outdoor camping festival now.
