Phish kicks off a way sold-out three night stand at Madison Square Garden tonight, so expect the area around Penn Station to put you in a particularly misanthropic mood during tonight's rush hour. But if you have a thing for NYC subway nostalgia, it may be worth wading through the trustafarian mob scene to get your hands on these Phish subway token replicas.
It's the perfect souvenir to remember how you (hopefully?) survived a disorienting journey through the jamband scene's hairy underbelly just to get to the A/C/E. YEMblog says they'll be sold outside the venue at 5 p.m. (And if you're curious to know what all the fuss is about, Phish will be doing a live HD webcast from the Garden all three nights.)
