PSA - I had no idea Trey keeps the little tuner on his headstock when I tweeted earlier, and while I disagree with it, I meant no disrespect against your leader. My dm’s are filled with HATE. Phish Twitter is an extremely full contact place. Jeez…

I woke up today & had a Shake Shack burger at JFK for breakfast, and am now in San Francisco having an In N Out burger. I’m simultaneously equal parts disgusted with & impressed with myself.

You want some form of concerts by the end of 2021? Me too - you have no idea how bad I do. Wear the damn mask. If you don’t, you’re part of the problem. End of story. Don’t be a dick. Wear it. 😷❤️

“If 95% of Americans wore masks, we’d save up to 85,000 lives over the next few months.” Can you imagine hearing that and thinking to yourself “Fuck that, I’m not wearing one. They don’t mean me.” What the fuck kind of people are these?

Now all Pence's people testing positive. Wether or not a mask makes a difference cannot be spelled out any clearer at this point. You want concerts to come back in 2021? Me too. Put a fucking mask on - it won't kill ya (but if you don't it just might, and maybe other people too)
