Torchbearers of the hippie jam band scene in the wake of the Grateful Dead, the (once mighty) Phish reunited four years after calling it quits. And fans had lots of catching up to do on getting high.Police said they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers over their three day stint at the Hampton Coliseum. Authorities also arrested 194 Phish fans. No word on if they were deloused once in custody.
Shockingly, most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said. Tourism officials had estimated 75,000 fans would be coming to the coastal Virginia city. Nearly 200 law enforcement officers worked the weekend event, with the Vermont-based band picking up the tab.
Wait - Phish paid for the narcs to be there? Way uncool, dude. More than finding out your vegan burrito was missing soy.
