One fan made stickers that show a prairie dog, vaporizer in hand, wearing a shirt with the Phish song "Down With Disease" on it. They are $4 each.

Loved it, warts and all. Rachel price is such a bad ass. 

Hell of a report, right there. 

Yowza. Quite a lineup. Sure to be a memorable night.

Mars Hotel have backed out of the festival, They arent sure its even going to go on with the way the promoters have treated them.

Original Woodstock lineup, with Woodstock 50 stability. Full marks for inter-generational authenticity.

I’m just happy to see Boyd Tinsley still getting work. 

Also, I hadn't listened to the Ghosts of the Forest album before yesterday, but I'm really digging it now.

Fish came off exactly the same as he did in Bittersweet Motel, and I mean that in the best way. 

Intimate is right. There were a few components to it: a little but of live footage (though not much), a good chunk of studio and rehearsal footage with various collaborators, and then a series of one-on-one chats between Trey and his family / friends / band mates. Very much a portrait of where he is at now and how all of these relationships helped shape him and continue to be so important to him. It was touching, really. A few lighthearted moments as well. 

Wow that was good. 

Tomorrow night! (And by "tomorrow" I mean Wednesday.)

It's playing at 6:45 and 9:05 at South Keys here in Ottawa. I'll be at the 6:45 show.

Samesies.

Ugh.
