"Without a doubt New Years Eve is the Phishiest of holidays. With all due respect to the joyful rituals of summer sheds & festivals, indoor nuttiness in cool and cold weather, Halloween & Thanksgiving runs, etc., it is NYE where the celebration of a Phish show is most in alignment with the culture at large. Party time! And NYE 2009 couldn't be more exciting. It marks a return to a favorite 2.0 site, the second 4 night run in 6 months and the conclusion of the year Phish returned to life. It's been an incredibly fun year and we look forward to wrapping it up in style in Miami."
