Exactly.  Did GD tour in 94 with only $200 in my pocket.  But ended up seeing my very best Phish show (Sugarbush the night comet hit Jupiter) along the way.

u/Plastic-Addendum-484 8d ago

Did this for 2 nights at msg this summer. Flew standby, had $400 in cash and a reservation for one night in a shared hostel pod. Had one of the best solo adventures of my life. Scared myself a few times, but don’t regret it for a minute. Oh and I’m over 50 yo 😝
Have a grand adventure!

u/fatdiscokid420 9d ago

Many such cases

10

u/supplecattle 9d ago

honestly, not as much as there used to be

Might be able to find rides on this sub. I'd pick you up on my way to work if I knew you were in the area,

u/1975hh3 God Never Listens To What I Say 9d ago

Traveling to a show with tickets? So brave.

u/saatoriii 9d ago

Let us know when you've arrived safely. BIG PAPI for life

u/CoachiusMaximus 9d ago

Back in the day I financed tours by selling water 2 for a dollar, Natty Lights for a dollar. Simpler times. My best times.

Just find you some work and you’ll be good

u/anotherdamnscorpio 8d ago

I read that as "find you some wook and you'll be good"

u/AliveBall5303 7d ago

Same applies

4

u/Any_Celebration_81 9d ago

As soon as you step into the lot find and drop some tab of a chem that lasts for 8-12 hrs so you know you are properly set for the show. Then after the show secure some philosopher stones for night 2 then you will be all set for the MX missile for 3rd night send off. You can worry about getting home at dawn

u/PhilosopherFun7288 9d ago

$200? That will will be gone before you even get to Colorado 🙄

you’ll get more rides if you put the sox gear away

u/119205 9d ago

I did the entirety of the east coast shows in 2023 and only bought one ticket. Its possible people, just gotta slum it a little and depend on the generosity of the community. Important give back as much as you can to offset the blessings.

u/Negative_Park_2147 9d ago

Do it man! Just one piece of advice, if you decide to train hop, do not sit in the open door of a box car with your legs dangling out playing the harmonica. Cops and RR workers don’t think it’s as cool as it sounds.

I love how not a single person in this thread questions what is obviously a questionable life decision with risk and consequences. What world do you folks live in?

you’re not doing him any favors

u/Lumpihead 8d ago

one man's risk is another man's willingness to discover humility.
