Chester and Chuckwagon Ride Again

So Mike and Chris are talking again – as is Chris and Jim. All sorts of good old friends coming out of the woodwork lately.

Mike and I were in New Orleans on 9/26/99 for this photo at Cafe DuMonde. We were there for a Phish show, which we saw at the University of New Orleans Lakefront Arena. The show was somewhat uncomfortable because we were on the floor in front of the stage. In and of itself, this is a fantastic thing, obviously. The floor though, was solid concrete, and not at all like the lawns I’d become accustomed to seeing shows on. Good times – solid memories. Follow the ‘more’ link for the setlist and details. I’m priviledged to have gotten a torrent from Mike of this show, and I’m jammin’ to a wicked DWD right now. Thanks Chester!
