Slightly old news, but here’s the shakedown on the recent Phish re-re-re-re-reunion extravaganza, via the Seattle Times:
HAMPTON, Va. —
Some Phish fans are leaving Hampton a little lighter than when they arrived for the band’s weekend reunion.
Police said Monday they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers. Authorities also arrested 194 Phish fans during the three-night celebration of the band’s return to the stage after a nearly five-year absence.
Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said.
Now, if my calculations are correct, that’s approximately 24,000 eighths of the stinky stanky danky dank confiscated, and cash confiscated, which could have been spent on 1,360 eighths of danky stank stink sticky stinky icky. Anyone have on hand the digits of the Hampton Police Department?
