Atlantic City and Phil Lesh

We headed down yesterday afternoon for some snazzy good times in AC at Bally's. The House of Blues was not really that far of a walk up the boardwalk. Our room had a view of the ocean and the adjacent building had mirrored panes of glass in which we could see the reflection of our tower. It's amazing how they actually engineer these places. It's obviously very deliberate! We headed over to HOB about an hour before doors. It's amusing to watch slot players, throwing their money into the machines so mindlessly..in minutes, the money is just plain gone. I just don't get the whole gambling thing. Adam played Roulette with his friend Matt and in 2 minutes, they lost 25 bucks! Just gone...what fun is that??

Aya!

Well, the show was just great. I really enjoyed the venue and all it's eccentricities. The pat down getting in was real fierce, include a triple swipe of the metal detectors! You'd think hippies were known to carry guns or something :/ I had looked at the setlists before going, and said to Lindsay and Adam that they hadn't played Unbroken Chain, a song I have a deep emotional bond with, but that's another story. They played it last night..and it was amazing! Some other highlights include Not Fade Away and a stellar China Cat Rider, not to mention DEAL for AC!

I always missed the Phish Vegas thing. But after going to AC for a show, I'm not sure what the hype is :/ Maybe I'm missing something..but isn't it all casinos and wasted people? Is Vegas really all that much more sparkly?
