Phish fan who took 'first ever bong rip in the Sphere' at 4/20 concert doesn't regret ban from Madison Square Garden Entertainment venues
fan’s bid for stoner glory at a 4/20 concert has earned him a burn notice that extends to some of the biggest arenas in the country, but he’ll always be able to claim he was the first — and perhaps last — to take a bong rip in theholiday . It was his third and final night seeing them play that week, he says, and he didn’t want to try to bring the bong — which he’d bought in town — on his flight home to the West Coast.
Of course, by the time @acid_farts emerged from the psychedelic show, his clip was already viral in the online Phish community. He’d also tagged the official Sphere account to notify them of his stunt. “That was maybe, maybe a little oops,” he says. Having lost his Wi-Fi signal shortly after posting on Instagram, he hadn’t realized just how widely the footage was circulating until it was too late to do anything about it.
To be sure, alerting a venue that you’re breaking their rules makes for a different case entirely, though @acid_farts nonetheless likens it to “lions going after flies,” and sees it as a “bad business model,” what with other attendees at Sphere shows openly posting themselves taking hits from vapes and dab rigs. He also says he got a “weird vibe” the last time he saw Phish at MSG in 2017, after which he decided “I don’t think I want to go back. I’m on the West Coast. It’s an East Coast show.
“I’m really wearing it as a badge of honor,” he explains, and he already has an idea for how to make the most of the incident: sell a T-shirt, maybe reading “Free @acid_farts,” with proceeds going to the, a new addiction recovery center founded by Phish frontman Trey Anastasio. In any case, he notes, his story “is in the pantheon of Phish now,” and fans are free to run with it.
And for those wondering just what strain @acid_farts was packing at the Sphere, he reveals that he’s “a sour diesel man for life.” What he won’t share is exactly how he smuggled that sizable bong into the arena in the first place. “That’s a no comment,” he says with a laugh. “That’s a trade secret.
