I feel sorry for you Mr. Holt. You have no idea what our beautiful community within is about. You pointed out the negative energy that seems to be associated with us, "hippies". Positives of our community are too numerous to mention and I feel you wouldn't care anyway.
I agree totally with robespierre.(see 7 above)
Mr. Holt, we enjoy traveling "the land of the brave and free" to see our favorite American band perform. The cities that the band chooses are just as important as the songs they play. the city or town becomes very much part of the "show" experience. We know this about Phish. We respect the inhabitants of the City. We respect the police and staff members. We usually clean up after ourselves. I wonder if BonJovi fans do that? I say that with respect...just wondering?
About 15 years ago, my BF and I passed the then run down Boardwalk Hall, and asked each other why hadn't Phish played here yet. Our Phantasy took place a week ago! It was amazing! I spent a ton of money but had a blast doing it! THANKS to all the real nice jitney drivers, taxi drivers, casino workers, maids, waiters and bartenders, convenience store owners, hotel staff, concession stand workers, EMTS and police that lent helping hands, gas attendants, performers and DJS, bums that gave directions. In some way y'all made my stay in AC wonderful!
To all the people hating on AC, remember this is just one uneducated individual among a city of great people. Every city has it's fair share of uneducated ignorant people. Mr. Holt I am sending you some positive vibrations and hopefully you will change your "tude" and get to know the real PHANS!
