		<description><![CDATA[Six miles in this city could take days to traverse. Highways meant for speed and grids for ease? In Miami, the highway serves only to get you lost more quickly. And the grid here? Well, the grid here offers only a tease of ease.

Navigating the Buick along byways and one-ways and no-ways in search of a hotel while coordinating – via text, e-mail, phone call, smoke signal and good vibe – the simultaneous arrivals of friends from across the state and within the environs of Greater Miami, while very hungry, while equal parts exhausted and electrified, while preoccupied with the four sets of Phish done and the five sets of Phish yet to come, is difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Definition is the plight of language, and heresy is the plight of question asking. So why define Phish as that which is worshiped—an idol? From fear of being heretical? Rav Kook teaches, according to Matt, that “Even heresy plays a spiritual role, challenging us to continually expand our concept of God.” So, instead of limiting faith with fear — or worse, confusing faith with fear — and eternally pointing an accusatory finger, why not define Phish as that which serves, ultimately, only to facilitate worship—a vessel?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“So, Ezekiel was standing on the River Kevar. As he was gazing at the water, the seven heavens were opened for him and he saw the Glory of Holiness, along with celestial creatures, ministering angels, bands of angels, seraphs, and angels with sparkling wings, all joined to the heavenly chariot. As they were passing through heaven, Ezekiel saw them reflected in the water. As it is written, ‘on the River Kevar,’ the River of Already.”

So, I stood at the edge of the Stream of Already. As I gazed at the water, Ben Whitman began walking—down from the waterfall, down upon the rocks, cautiously, wrapped in woven thread.

As I gazed at the water, Ben Whitman began falling—down from the waterfall, down from upon the rocks, crashing, scraping, sliding, breaking, wrapped in woven thread.

Gaze broken, laughing, I turn toward thud’s source, gaze broken, laughing—and down from the waterfall, down from upon the rocks I fall, helpless, flailing, without sparkling wings, crashing, wrapped in woven thread.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seats. Lights. Roar. This is what we wait for. Seats. Lights. Roar. This is what some of us live for. Seats. Lights. Roar.

We walk up the steps, empty pockets, raise arms to the heavens and are oh so happy to let strangers feel us up. Inside, people pour from every door, up every staircase and into every hall and byway of the venue. We’ve left Miami. We’ve left time and space. This is not hyperbole. This is not fluffed-up fandom. This is simple. To get to our seats, to watch the lights drop from bright to black, to add our chords to the roar, this is what we wait for.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Collective memory has a way of making every milestone event seem better attended. I wasn’t at camp that summer, but stories about it are told with me, not to me. And though the only negative part about moving to Israel for five and a half months was the fact that I couldn’t be a first-hand witness to the unveiling of Phish 3.0, on some level, I don’t believe that I wasn’t there. It doesn’t make sense. How could I have missed that train? I went to Bonnaroo ’08 almost as an afterthought. Press passes got me there for free. All I had to do was make the drive, write the story. But Phish reunites and headlines ‘Roo with two nights of music and I’m stuck 4,000 miles away?]]></description>

Out-of-focus dark-brown millimeters from my nose. “Got an appointment really soon. Come on guys.” Roll over. Rough carpet on my back. “Get up. It’s 11:40.” Keep rolling.

In front of me: one built-in desk with oversized computer monitor. To my immediate right: one posh leather chair, one table, many odds and many ends, strewn.

		<description><![CDATA[Outside of my section, the halls are already filled with heads. I find the stairs, head down to the lowest level and step outside onto the porch. I squeeze through the packs of people and come to the other end of the porch without finding anyone I know. After one more trip around the crowd, I run into Doogans who leads me to Sarah and Ryan and eventually Harper. Harper’s friend Adam—a guy I first met freshman year when he came to visit and ran into again while living in Israel—is there, and then, in the span of 30 minutes, two or three pockets of Jewish kids, all people he met in Israel but didn’t know were coming to these shows, run into our group on the porch. These types of meetings should seem coincidental or unlikely, but I’ve actually come to expect them. Today, I’m the friend of a friend meeting friends of friends of friends. Tomorrow, I’ll be introducing my old friends to friends of other friends. I bought solo tickets to this run of shows in Miami without a moment of hesitation because I knew hordes of familiar Heebs would be at the show, no matter the amount of pre-planning. But what made this a reality of the Phish experience for American Jews?]]></description>
