I don't even get the point of this. Great, it wasn't the most amazing Phish weekend ever. Good for you, buddy. Let me explain something to you, try to follow this: When people say they had the best time ever at Super Ball IX, they mean it as a "figure of speech." Do you know what this means? It just means they had a great time and heard great music. A person who says in response to the question, "How was Superball IX?," "It was the best weekend ever," is ACTUALLY TRYING TO TELL YOU that the Phish they saw in Watkins was the best and all the Phish you've ever seen sucks. IT IS JUST AN EXPRESSION. You pointing out that they did not, in fact, see the best Phish ever is not only unnecessary, it is kind of a dick move in my opinion. You're just shitting on the weekend without any provocation at all.

It's not even about the whole "you weren't there it's not the same" thing. It's OK to criticize the music, even if you didn't attend, (in my opinion anyone who gives the music an honest listen has the right to speak on it) but you are basically defending arguments that have not seriously been made. I mean, this is ridiculous. When someone tells me they had a good time when they went to a certain place or did a certain thing, I don't break down and analyze all the ways in which they could have had a BETTER time. That's what douchebags do. By the way, if you think 7/2 was less interesting than 12/31/09, you must have been really mesmerized by the New Year's Gag because I never listen to ANYTHING from that night.
Edit: ...is "NOT" actually trying to tell you that the Phish they saw in WG was the best ever and all the Phish you've ever seen sucks. Sorry, couldn't figure out how to edit the post, if there is a way to do that.
