Northern Wish

I have to admit that despite being a life long Wings fan, I still have an affinity for the ole Norris Division and anything Canadian.

Lets see you in the final TO!

Go Wings!

Sean

Oh yeah, and Booche. I just moved to Saint John, New Brunswick (haven't we met at Eric Warrens with Mark Tonin before?)...... I used to live in the hotbed of Toronto Maple Leafs territory, so just to be the constant shit disturber I decided around the age of 8 that the Red Wings were the best opponent of the Leafs (remember the Norris Division? sigh....).

My first ever game was amongst the throngs of Italian Leafs fans at Maple Leaf Gardens against you guessed it... Detroit. The rest as they say is history.

Hope that clears up the confusion. At least you all like a good team, out here everyone is either a Habs fan or the Bruins is tops. Ugh.

Sean

OK I got you. I know each day is pain in the ass, but with playoff hockey there are only two options. Pick the whole team up front, or switch every day....... That is of course, because at the end of each round with some teams going to 7 games and others (Red Wings) cleaning up in 5, the schedule is up in the air for the next round and picking players without a schedule would be difficult.

Keep it comin! You guys are a lot more competition than my Sporting News Pool.

And keep checking tomandian.com because there is a daily shift in leaders on that one.

Sean

Are we all still playing or what? I am noticing that those three or four guys at the bottom are not playing at all any more.

Did losing take the fun out of it? It certainly shouldn't, in the end its only 3 cds out of pocket. There are three of us here in Saint John who set our pool everyday and watch hockey together every night. To those players who are not active, remember you are making it boring for the rest of us too! A little more competition would certainly be fun.

Go Wings Go!

Sean

Could someone please post the ip address for the SHN Napster hub. My version of DC went haywire and can't find any public hubs............

Anyone else who doesn't use this should be. The Canadian hub consists of around 5 of us who are constantly on there. Bandwidth is available, lets get sharing!

Peace

Sean

Thanks.....

Yep, Jamie Shields is infact the former keyboardist for One Step Beyond. They were taking a summer off when Jamie approached Darren from Gypsy Soul and Dan from Que Vida for some impromptu sessions at the CoZo. Since then JS has been exclusive property of the New Deal.

But don't be dissapointed, his talents were wasted in One Step Beyond. I saw them (OSB) last summer at the Harborfront and they sound as good as ever with a replacement. Tight, tight, tight!

Sean

OK then, what about other members of the board? Wink wink nudge nudge, Mike Philips I am looking your way............

Come on boys don't tell me nobody in your organization taped it.

That would be a pity :-(

Sean

Someone has to have this......

Pleeeeease!

Sean

It would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sean

Go Wings Go!

Thanks for the info.

I do have it. Wow what a night, what a band, what a show.

Probably in my top 5 I have attended. That opening run of three or four tunes (Rock n Roll, Funky Bithc> PYITE, Horn) is stellar. Apparently, that one was leaked by Phish staff as promo material for their first Japan tour. Alas, the Japanese agent also knew a bootlegger who reproduced it, hence the fade in between Free and Limb by Limb as it was released as a 2cd bootleg.

"Whoa, me fail english? Thats unpossible!"

Apparently my brain was as awake as my body after my nap. That last post sounds like I just learned english is Transylvania.

S

Boche,

While I am more than familiar with the 12.29.98 SBD (I was actually lucky enough to be at that show!), but I was infact referring to 12.29.89 nice run of Gamehendge from the Cabaret Club in Philly. I just received this lately and enjoy some of the old crispy boards quite fun.

Peace

Sean

Hey Scottie, hope things are well.........

It's been a whirlwind intro to the Maritimes, and much tuneage has been ingested. Here are the details:

1. Mark Farina- Mushroom Jazz Vol. 3

2. Talking Heads- Remain in Light

3. Grateful Dead doing Bob Dylan- Postcards for the Hanging

4. Breakestra- Live Mix Vol. 1

5. Trey Anastasio Band- s/t

And lots and lots of The Band- I just got my hands on all of the Reissues with the bonus tracks, get em!!

And plenty and plenty of Phish: namely 4.3.98, 6.25.95 SBD, 6.30.00 (have you heard this Cavern!?!?!), and 12.29.89 SBD.

Lets get ready for the summer tunes!

Sean

My brother and all of his friends could help out too. THey all go to Uof Guelph and are in with some of the movers and shakers.

Let me know through phan420@hotmail.com

Sean

For all of the poolies out there, the tomandian.com pool is now updating. Looks like we have 7 entries in that one.

Check it out!

CD's for me!

Sean

"Woke up this morning.....

Stink Kind,

Nugs,

Goo Balls,

Kief!!"

"Irie Irie, roll yourself

a big spliff, and don't

pass it to nobody."

-Trey and Fish 7.25.99

Happy Phour 20, y'all!

Sean

My guess is something small and round and rhymes with nextstasy.........

Squash........

No amount of butter is going to help me keep that shite down.

Sean

I think the playoff pool at tomandian will show up with scores sometime in the near future. That is the cost of dealing with an "independent" website.

No worries though, your points will accumulate and you can mail your cds to me when it is all said and done.

Sean

Ya it seems that some of you missed the deadline. Luckily I anticipated the whims of the heady dude and enrolled us in another pool that sets itself at 11:50 today but if you miss that you can sign up tomorrow since there is a daily trading option. Infact the second pool is much better.

Check you hotmail or email accts you sent me everyone the login info is there!

Get on this, it will be a hoot!

Sean

Oh yeah sorry....

420 of course.

Sean

OK guys here it is. I had trouble finding a decent pool system that we didn't have to pay for. This one should work. Go to www.tomandian.com and check out the 2002 Playoff Pool link. We have ten people ready to go, but the hitch is- you have to set up your team by tomorrow at 6pm!!!

Once you all get your teams set tomorrow I will set out the winning amounts of cds we will have to send (it will be based on the # of entries).

Once you login check out the Phish Sanctuary 2002 Playoff Pool......

Good Luck!

General Rules:

Each general manager must draft a complete team on or before the team submission deadline (17th April 2002 at 6pm EST (before any games are played)). No teams will be accepted after the deadline.

You will have 8000 'points' available to draft a team.

A Team consists of 12 Forwards, 6 Defense and 2 Goalies.

There will be no trading option for the playoffs.

Scoring System:

For each player on your team, you will collect the following points throughout the NHL Playoffs (starting with the first game of round one and ending with the Stanley Cup finals).

Skaters: Statistic Points

G 10

A 6

PPG +6

SHG +8

PIM 1

+/- 2

Goalies: Statistic Points

W 20

T 10

GA -1

SO +10

How to Pick Your Team:

As stated above, you will have 8000 'points' to draft 12 Forwards, 6 Defense and 2 Goalies. Each player has a cost that was determined based on past seasons performance as well as the current seasons performance. The cost of players has been discounted based on the ranking of different teams in their conference (as of 10th April 2002). Players on teams that finished first in their conference cost 100% of their nominal value - 2nd and 3rd cost 95%, 4th and 5th cost 90%, 6th and 7th cost 85% and players on 8th place teams cost 80%. Note that this discount has already been applied to the players cost in the team selection screen.

Before you enter a team, you must register as a user. If you have played in the TomAndIan.com Football or Hockey pools this year, you can use the username/password you previously created. If you have forgotten your username/password, please use our "Forgot Password" feature. If you still cannot get your old login, please email us at webmaster@tomandian.com.

If you have never played in a TomAndIan.com pool before, choose the "Sign Up" link on the left. This will allow you to create a new account that you will be able to use for this and all future pools. Please note that the information you provide us is only for our use and we would never sell it or disclose it to third parties (read our privacy policy).

Once you have logged in to the pool, you should see a series of links under "General Manager" on the left. The first link is "Select my Team". If you click this link, you will see a set of frames on the right hand side of the screen. Along the top will be the letters of the alphabet and "skaters" and "goalies" radio buttons. If you select either skaters or goalies and then click on a letter of the alphabet, you will see players names appear.

Beside each player's name is a checkbox. Clicking it will add that player to your team. Clicking it again will remove the player. All of the players that you pick will be listed on the left of your screen. For each player, their position and team is listed. The Cost column represents the cost of the player if you choose them. The Games represents the number of games that the player played during the 2001/2002 regular season. The Points column represents the cost of the player before the discount was applied. The Weight column indicates the discount applied to the player based on where their team finished (see above).

Once you have the correct number of players that fit within the allowed point cost limit, a button labelled Enter will appear. Click this button and your team will be submitted to us. You can submit as many teams as you want but only the last team submitted before the deadline will be the one accepted. Please do not create multiple users.

Please have your team in to us by no later than Wednesday, April 17th 2002 at 6pm EST.

A few days later, the pool should be running. You can check the standings page every day and see how well you are doing - the standings are updated each morning. From time to time they may not be updated correctly, but don't panic as all your points will be counted in the final standings.

Sub Pools:

Like the regular season, you will have the ability to create "sub-pools" for the 2002 NHL playoff pool. You could use a sub-pool to maintain a separate contest with your friends or co-workers. If you create a sub-pool, we will create a separate standings page for you that will list the scores and rankings of the people who join your sub-pool.

To create a sub-pool, you must have an account and be logged in (see above). Under the general manager heading on the left, you will see three links - "Create a SubPool", "Enter a SubPool" and "What SubPools have I entered?". If you click on "Create a SubPool", you will can enter a name for your sub-pool and provide a password that will be used by others to enter the sub-pool. You are automatically entered in any sub-pools that you create.

You can provide that pool name and password to anyone you want to join your sub-pool. If they log in and click on the "Enter a SubPool" link, select your pool and enter the correct password, they will be added to the sub-pool for the playoffs. You will be able to create sub-pools for a few days after the submission deadline, so don;t worry about having the pool created by then. Please only create a sub-pool if you have a group of people that are interested in joining it and try to keep the names in good taste.

Other Rules:

If anyone is tied after the end of the playoffs, ties will be resolved in favour of the team with the most goals scored. If two teams are still tied after that, then they will be considerd 'tied' in the final standings.

Final interpretation of the rules are left open to Tom and Ian. Any disputes of any kind over scoring, etc. will be settled by Tom and Ian at our own discretion.

Technical Requirements:

To pick a team and participate in the pool, all you need is internet access and a JavaScript and cookie-enabled web browser (JavaScript and cookies are enabled by default on most browsers). For best results, we recommend using Netscape 3.0 (or later) or IE 4.0 (or later). In this day and age, people should have been operating with at least these versions for a couple of years! Earlier versions of these browsers (especially IE) have very buggy JavaScript implementations, and so they may not work properly when trying to pick a team.

Please email me by midnight tonight and I can set the pool up by tomorrow so we have time to set our teams by Wednesdays opening games.

Sean

Oh yeah and the teases..... The teases were dominant to my ears throughout the second set and encores. They were the following (though there may have been more):

Jesus Left Chicago

Makisupa Policeman (almost a full on jam!)

Funkytown (full on jam)

Shakedown St. (start stop style teases)

Shook Me All Night Long

First Tube?

I need some backup on a few of these. I tend to "hear" these things a lot and sometimes I am dead wrong.
