Hampton Opener Contest   

Congratulations to SuprStevie, winner of our predict the Hampton opener contest and a pair of free Phish tickets.

SuprStevie was just one of 17 fans who correctly predicted Fluffhead would open the Phish Hampton shows, and his name was picked in our live drawing on March 15, 2009. Stevie will win a pair of free Phish tickets to his choice of Great Woods, Camden, Burgettstown, Deer Creek or Alpine. Either way, it's sure to be a blast.

Here's why SuprStevie picked Fluffhead:

Yeah, it's the hopeful choice. Yeah, it's also kind of the optimistic and unrealistic choice. But with all the chanting at IT, the constant fan wishing (and don't think they're immune to what the fans say) and the message it'd send ("we're back and we can play the shit out of even the hardest songs") I think it fits into the mold of what Phish is trying to say. Of course, this is also the band that occasionally ignores big events in terms of bustouts (12/2/03 is a pretty unassuming show for they're 20th anny), so I could be way off. Still, Fluffhead is my guess.
