mark tonin Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Canandaigua will be a nice mid-week mid-July adventure! Not sure if I'll hit up anything else this summer, but maybe ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-towns Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Is Phish Hinting At A Hawaiian Island Festival?With Phish 2014 summer tour dates having been announced - and many of our West Coast brethren voicing their complaints, in hoping this was just the initial announcement, as no dates were released way out west, other than in Colorado - we now have had a day to plan which dates we can skip out of work from, put in for our ticket requests, reserve hotel rooms, and let our hearts get back to a normal beat. Or, can we?Along with the announcement came a video. Not that this is the first time we have received a tour announcement video, nor are we strangers to Phish doing something quirky with just about anything they do, but this particular video was rather mysterious. As a helicopter lands on a helipad, a young, well-dressed man exits the chopper, walks up to the camera, makes a statement in Chinese, while holding up a letter that is written in the language, and then lights up the piece of paper as if "this letter will self-destruct in 10...9...8..." in Inspector Gadget fashion. As the opening lick of "Carini" begins to play, he lets the letter fly away, walks back to the helicopter, and leaves just as quickly as he came, with summer tour dates coming up on the screen and our eyes bugging out of our heads in anticipation.Now, we got the dates, but what does the letter say? That is the real question.Well, according to a translation that has appeared on imgur.com, we have learned the following:Here is what you must do. You must go to the edge of the city. There, you will find him. He will not be like you hope. In fact, he might even be someone you wouldn't look at. He might look like a kind of bush, or a reporter for the local real estate company. But it is him. Ask him something. He will say, "What is it?" You will say "You know... like we discussed." It's very important that you use these words. He will temporarily disappear. Although he is leaving, you will examine your phone. Perhaps you exclaim something about the weather. Then he will return your target. Exchanging the target, you will give him a signed copy of the novel "Hawaii" by James Michener. The signature must be from a child pretending he is James Michener. Once you have your target, flip this page over in order to understand how to rescue our species from extinction. Thanks! You really helped us a solid here."So, are we being lead to believe that the next Phish festival will be held in Hawaii?!?!?! And, if not, what is all this James Michener's Hawaii hubbub about?We, the fans, have been duped by our favorite quartet from Vermont before. There has always been hints, and tricks, and most certainly plenty of treats (and even a Wingsuit). So what are we to think? Do we need to start saving for a massive trip to the 50th state in the union? With so many of our favorite bands setting their sights on destination style festivals, it would certainly make sense. It would also probably be the most intimate Phish shows in 20+ years, as a trip to Hawaii is rather expensive. We would be surprised if there were more than 15,000+ fans making the trek over to the Aloha State. Though, you never know. And people thought Festival 8 was intimate.I guess we'll just have to wait to find out.One other thing, that security detail in the far left corner of the screen sure looks a lot like Jon Fishman. Just sayin'.... translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I really doubt Toronto will get added, even though it was rescheduled, it was one of the lowest attendance shows last year. I don't think the demand is there to have them back so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 It was stated in the tour announcement video that no additional East Coast dates would be announced for summer or fall. Not only does that mean no Toronto or Ottawa Bluesfest, but also no Atlantic City for Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I second that KevO. I will try at the onsale, or just pay slightly above face value on stubhub for decent seats three days before the show.Pine Knob on a Wednesday won't be too tough a ticket.

boiler Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I might check those out BR. Want to share a ride to Pine Knob on 7/16?We'll keep in touch. I'd really love to do Philly. A friend of mine down there would also be celebrating some sort of Phish anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Jay, have you noticed how small some of those venues they are playing this summer?ie. This section:uly 29 - 30 @ nTelos Music Pavilion - Portsmouth, VA (Capacity - 6,500)August 1 @ Amphitheatre at the Wharf - Orange Beach, AL (Capacity - Approximately 10,000)August 2 @ Oak Mountain Amphitheatre - Pelham, AL (Capacity - 9,936)August 3 @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - Alpharetta, GA (Capacity - 12,000)I think you are probably right though, I doubt we will see Phish back anytime soon. Maybe Montreal or something some day would be really cool. Edited March 21, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 My tongue-in-cheek comment was mainly based on last year's cancelled show and then the rescheduled show in Toronto right after their Chicago show.Happy summer show and festival thoughts ...
