Mike Chief Thomas
Mike Boss Thomas
These two pictures are Mike Thomas self-portraits. Half-annoyed with me taking pictures all night, Mike grabbed my camera and created the classics above. Even though this was back in '95, I still remember clearly how he had the entire room in hysterics. As usual.
Mike is the biggest character I know. And if you've been to enough Phish shows, you've undoubtably seen him. Usually in the best seat in the house. The creator of countless shirts, stickers, grilled cheeses and quesadillas, Mike always finds a way to go to shows. Converted from a hardcore punk, Mike has now been to more Phish shows than any of my immediate friends.

Above left, Mike grins with his new bubbler with Sam at Camp Creek. Above right, Mike chills at Jones Beach before his first Phish show. Mike I and have toured together many times; he is a robot when it comes to driving.
