Re: [thejellyfish] Rothbury was a REAL success
Ronda just a little clarification. You replied to the Jellyfish list. No drama here That is on the Wharf Rat list. And before anyone loses it here Phish DID NOT reunite. Mike Gordon, Trey and Jon Fishman played together during Mike's show. They have come together previously in 2005. In additon, Page has joined Trey along with Mike as a guest at least one Trey show Yes great comraderie by all Miko Miko

There were close to thirty of us camping together at Camp Traction. I met several awesome sober people and we had a blast getting down together at the shows. We made a soul train alley out of glow sticks at the Phil show and had a blast hanging out together. I am so totally diggin' Jackie. I saw him out at the Harmony festival and have seen him a few times with Phil. He rocks! I've been reading some of the posts lately and am a bit set off. To me, this list is about welcoming the newcomer...being examples of being able to enjoy music sober. I took a friend to Rothbury with me who has a couple of years sober. The group welcomed him with open arms and he had such a great time! I love it when this happens because that is what this group did for me when I first started coming around. You guys showed me I could still enjoy music sober and I had know idea it would WAY better than it was when I was using. I am very grateful for that and want to pass that along. What kind of message are we sending when a newcomer gets on this list and sees people telling people to fuck off??? Not good. Anyway, the Rothbury lineup was unbelievable. I've never seen Phish before and got to hear them play a Beatles tune together. They did some running from stage to stage to make that happen. Now back to responsibilities...getting ready to move to Oakland from Illinois in a couple of weeks. I have a good job lined up and am looking forward to the change and the opportunities that will be available to me out there. Again, just feeling super grateful coming back from a festival having had such a great time. I saw people hauled off on stretchers, said a little prayer for them, and thanked my higher power for the life I am able to lead now. Many positive vibes out to all of you. Let's remember that the Wharfrats do have a primary purpose and let's do it together.
Love and light-
Ronda

Greetings Phamily Just getting my bearings after a wonderful trip to the, by far, best music festival I have ever been too. The place (Double JJ Ranch in Grant Township Michigan) was too much fun. I am not sure that there are real words to describe it. But, lets just say it was like going to a festy at a big camp. Replete with a forest that you could chill out in when the day got too hard. And then Peak Productions got ahold of this very forest and tweaked it out with lights, ambiance and all kinds of places to get a grip. If you did not want to go to the the festival all the time, there was much to do for recreation. You could bike, horseback ride, go to an indoor water park or many outdoor lakes. The table rocked. We, your trusted volunteers, got to the show a day early. We got to bond, hold group conscience and make sure we had an awesome table. My hats off to Sarah Rosenzwieg Jules and Adam Heinemann, who never worked a table before, let alone had been to a festival. There contributions to our presence was remarkable. The shares these people gave were heartfelt. Me and Lefty are old pros at this stuff, but we learned a lot as well. Last, my dear friend Benji, was a pleasure to work with and his shares at our meeting were a great mixture of wit and seriousness, always keeping the focus on the message. I am now truly bonded with these people forever. This was also the first presence of Camp Traction at a festival. Hats off to Michael T for starting this thing and Emory and Derek for carrying it through. Word spread about CT (can you believe there was an actual yellow balloon on the festival map to mark where they were camping. Thank you Nadia P) and they had quite a group of campers there. I heard their meeting rocked. CT is hear to stay. Oh yeah, Emory and Derek, thanks for the table service work as well. I also want to thank all of you who came to the table. Nice to see Zack again. Burph thanks for the service work. Ronda, have a blast living on the west coast. Matt, great to meet you and best in your recovery. DADDY DON thanks for being in the house. Your chairmanship of the meeting on the 3rd day was honestly, the best meeting I had ever been to at a show. You Rock, man. All who came to the table, we are feeling ya. Anyway, see some of you down the line soon. If you enjoyed the part of the state that Rothbury took place in, go to Dunegrass later this month. (moe. and Railroad Earth are some of the headliners www.dunegrassfestiv al.com It is even more beautiful up there. And if Benji and Sarah have it there way, there will be a Sober table there as well. Good luck guys, you have 23 days to pull it together. Blessings. Miko GO TEAM SOBER FANS!!!
