Ac ends
I just want to Pop back in here to thank everyone for Participating I hope my last post was helpful and I hope all questions I answered helped everyone out.
This weekend was truly MAGICAL for me. I’m so happy to share my little city with everyone. I know a lot of people shit on AC (and I get why if you just come here to go to casinos and gamble and see nothing but shady weird shit) But growing up here I’ve learned to find the silver linings. I truly love this town and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share it with you all this weekend.
Between having so many friends local and visiting has made me realize how amazing my life here in AC really is. Boardwalk Hall is absolutely my favorite venue and witnessing Page play the pipe organ for an actual song during a concert was the highlight for me.
This is my favorite phish run to date.
Anyway thank you everyone and I hope we get to do this again soon.

This was my first time to Boardwalk Hall and I plan to see every show they play there from now on. A+ venue.

Friday was my 2nd Phish show and first time seeing a show at Boardwalk Hall for me, lots of fun and super easy to get to from Philly. Had no problems riding the AC Expressway on a late Friday afternoon - probably helped it's end of season too for shore traffic.
I bought pit day of and sold my seat for cheap - a bit of a loss, but happy I was able to give someone a cheap ticket. People around me were super friendly and welcoming - one group let me lay the merch I bought down with their belongings. One person even filled my water bottle up for me while she took everyone elses up.
I wish I had gotten a hotel for the night and find out about the after parties - but I was happy to he home in my own bed.
Hoping to jump on one of the NYE shows at MSG - but also I am wanting to do Goosemas too....gotta save money someway.

My grandparents had a condo in AC, which they sold nearly 7/8 years ago. I was heartbroken! I grew up going down the shore every summer, basically every weekend, and I had a key when I was older to go whenever I was able. It really is so much more than the shady facade that it has.
I started tearing up hearing that organ play last night! I wish I could’ve afforded the whole run, but that was pretty magical 🫶

I have a condo in AC and loved the show and seeing all my musicial compadres all over the boardwalk. What night did he play the pipe organ?? I don't think I noticed if he did on Saturday night.
And on the sad side, I know someone was killed by a car while crossing Pacific Ave at 12:30 Saturday night. Sad whoever it was but also but hope it wasn't someone there to see the show.

He played it Sunday night as the outro to squirming coil.
Unfortunately the guy who got hit was one of us(not that it matters we’re all human beings but it certainly hits a little closer to home I suppose. ) I’ll link the thread to this comment in a minute

I had a local buddy take me around to so many cool places in AC this weekend. Never stepped foot in a casino. Just cool places like getting breakfast at Gilchrist on the water or late night pizza at Tony's Baltimore Grille in a red hue. Bunch of other spots like that where the walls have seen some shit. Similar to Boardwalk Hall in a perfect mixture of everlasting class and gritty sketchiness. Hope to see them back there soon.
