...but now Im on my way.
So...I had a real long think about my life situation as of late, and after 27 years, 290 shows, the Albany show this past tour was my final Phish show. I still love what they are doing and the direction they are going, I can just no longer subject myself to a situation that is unhealthy to me. My priorities have shifted to where I need to put all my focus on ME. I just recently was hospitalized again, and I can no longer risk my physical and mental well-being by putting myself in a situation that is undoubtedly unhealthy for me.
I will still be staying involved in the community as much as time will allow, but it is no longer a top priority at this stage in my life. Love you folks and all the love and light you have brought into my life during its darkest and happiest times.

You gotta do what's best for your health and well-being, Arty. I wish you the best of luck.

This, man. If you find yourself in a place where you can come back clean and ready to do it healthy-like, you will always be welcomed with open arms. But you gotta look out for you first.
Wish you the best of luck on your journey!
Always good to take a step back and take time for you.
Self reflection and awareness can and will do wonders. Always gotta take care of number one first. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do.
Good luck Mar, we're here whenever you want to vent or need a shoulder to lean on.
I know you are an asset to the phish community and I hope the best for you. Thanks for being the mar.
Good luck Arty, and you know where to find us if you need us.
Take care Mar. And thank you for all things :phish: you have shared.
Sounds like a wise decision
All the best
thanks for all the music you have shared
Like I said....Im still gonna drop tha bombs on you folks from time to time....I am just done with the time/effort/resources of trying to fit my life around going to see them. Ive had a good run, I just feel that my race has been run. Its super unhealthy for me to live for the next show...and everything that has to offer.
Hell yeah man! Much appreciated for the tunes and vids.
And 27 years/290 shows is a hell of a run, shit thats pretty much my life time.
Thanks for all you've done over the years for this community. Your contributions have always been greatly appreciated. Sometimes, we gotta make tough decisions though, and so mad respect for putting yourself and your situation first. Take care, and be easy bro.

WHO DOES NUMBER TWO WORK FOR?!
Thanks for all the remasters and sharing you've done! Super glad to have you around as a friend, especially when I was on the hub. I hope you find peace with your new path! You always were a shoulder to lean on when I was going through hard times back then.
