First things first-
To Andrew out in Michigan, I offer this humble apology. I had no right 
berating you the way that I did, since your message turned out not to be
a negative one, but a very supportive one. I prejudged you, because all of
the other messages I got from guys were sexist, derogatory, and annoying. I
completely misjudged you...I realize now that we are on the same wavelength,
and I hope we can be friends once again. As for TJ down in Richmond, I can't
believe that you suggested that I take a valium and some bong hits. I 
don't take drugs anymore, and I've had some truly horrible experiences in
my time. I can't believe you think it's somehow cool to talk about drugs
in that way. Why don't you just grow up and give me a call when YOU have
been to rehab and felt what that's like. People like you are going to ruin
our already swiftly degenerating generation. Was that snide comment about
my cat dying some kind of pathetic, ego-inflating Phish-nerd reference to
Posternutbag? Bill, you are also a dickhead. Don't bother writing me with 
that elitist crap. I'll dance on your face at Roseland, and I'll be sure to
wear my spiked heels. To Allison, thank you so much for spending the time to 
write to me. I appreciated everything you said, and I hope that we can speak again (oops) in the future. Anyway, to Allison and Molly, my two new nice people
that I've met, I hope you're going to Roseland, and Portland, and maybe 
Poughkeepsie, because you're welcome to stay with me. I live in the area. 
Hey, I've got a question for anyone who decides to answer: My friend Phil
said at the New Years show, "Hey, that Mockingbird shit really bastardized
the beauty of the song. I can't believe they did that." Does anyone agree?
I thought it was pretty amusing, but maybe it was a bastardization. I'd 
sure like to hear from you all. Also, this roadie climbed out from under
the stage during that fateful Boston gig, and shot my friend Jon right in
the face with a confetti cannon. I couldn't believe it! He had this big welt. 
My boyfriend Brucie hates Phish. What should I do about this? I want him to 
like Trey, because I love Trey, but he's so fucking immature and over-
protective. Oh, whatever. My fingers are tired. Music is the true source...
it's not wheeling and dealing and seeing how many tapes you can get or
what's the best DAT generation or whatever...it's seeing them LIVE, right?
Let's not forget that we're all on the same side...the audience. Let's not
ruin the magic of the whole thing.  I'm starting to feel that a lot of you
take Phish for granted, like they owe you something. 

       Any other rebels out there? Anyone still believe in the music?
	Let's start some shit. 

				Peace, love, and Mike's Song forever...

		J-A-N-I-C-ER

p.s.  You really DON'T have to be on drugs to enjoy a Phish show.  My
friend Natasha puked all night on some fucked-up acid. My friend Jason
freaked on shrooms. I didn't, though. It was pure. Gorgeous stuff. 
                                  -later.
