trey- i thought we told fish to clean those blackboard brushes outside... this chalkdust is torture!

sweet pics. thanks! love the one of page with the white purple almost flower like in the background.

hey todd...so sweet you caught this show! doesnt give you the itch to tune in, drop out..and tour???

some sweet vids (sorry dont know how to link directly)

nice work!

bats kind of freak me out too. we have had one on and off for the past year or so.

we open the door...and it NEVER flies out!

just keeps circling.

anyhow bats are for sure NOT harmless. yes the majority will not harm you etc but potentially they can. was on my graduating med school exam....kid wakes up with dead bat in the bed..no signs of bite marks....they bury the bat and go to you. answer---rabies shot, rabies immune globulin AND get the bat DUG UP.

another sweet setlist. i read on PT green crew requested some songs over the last few shows including forbin, ha ha ha...and some others.

sweet sweet setlist...but todd i disagree. i think thats phish's way of telling you to DRIVE to the next show no matter what! :content:

its so nice to hear new tunes. i'm loving all of them...but times turns elastic.

my favs ...

I'll juxtapose Basher's ordeal with my Darien scoreage. Hit up the box office when I got to the show and picked up a 16th row dead center seat. I guess they released whatever tix friends and family didn't take and there were a few available. Lost out on the tix I had to sell at $20ea but it was well worth it.

Not the most off the hook show of all time but still quite good all the same. Def some flubs and so forth but they played through them well. Dinner & A Movie and My Friend were great to see and Rift and The Horse>Silent were a treat as well. I would say that it was pretty up and down, some of it was great and some of it was meh(Caspian). All in all fairly solid song selection and well executed overall. They could have pushed it a bit harder but it was still a lot of fun and clearly they were having a lot of fun playing as well. Page could have been a bit hotter in the mix, they seem to be pushing Trey above everyone else which is a bit annoying.

Nice to have the boys back...

agreed...as much a trey fan as anyone...but if they turned him down one or two notches i think the mix would sound better

and basher...that sucks man. sorry.its totally who you run into. my ticket wouldnt scan for NYE 2003 and it was a mail order that I got so i knew it was legit,...and the girl just said go ahead.

had a blast so much good energy..

what i'm diggin in 3.0 phish compared to pre-break up is that they are taking more risks, hence it is more fresh, hence it can become more disjointed at times and even fail at times,...but on the flip side can also bring you 'there' along a route you never travelled before.

hey thanks for the info...

i finally got a hold of someone at the gorge...they said it mnight get messy but they have set up a will call for canadians before you get into the camping area...i think this is a mini-will call just for the camping pass.

heyall....

ordered gorge tix off the phone...and tix are at will call but so is the camping pass ticket.

if i remember correctly will call is right by the entrance to the show..so you have to go there somehow before getting your camping ticket..which will seem hard...

any info on this situation?

anyone

anyone been there before? if so ...what do you say...

hotel or camp?

thanks

p.s anyone really more excited than they thought they would be for the new album...im really stoked!!!

(to the point i'm dippin into my lingo from yesteyears)

i also found these two responses interesting..

"And now you know what it feels like to own and operate an indie label outside of Canada. Seriously man, you're complaining because the government didn't give you money? Take a step back and think about what you just said.

Dude, toughen up and quit feeling entitled for starting a label.

What gives you the impression the decision has anything to do with artistic merit or that artistic merit is quantifiable. Come on man, we're in the real world. The purpose of the grant system is to nurture Canadian culture hopefully to export it to the rest of the world. If the government spent their time trolling the indie ghetto for cool releases they'd never achieve their goal.

Of course grants go to the bands who will bring them stats and numbers to justify their existence. Why would you think otherwise?

Think about it man. Metric ?? Most people don't even know who that is. THey sold 50k records in the States. What a great candidate to try to nurture and see if they can actually do some real business. They might seem big to you but in the grand scheme of things they are an indie darling. If I were dolling out bucks i'd bet on them instead of some band who hasn't achieved anything.

Grow a pair and learn to play the game. I don't understand why you turn your nose at meeting the players and getting to know the system. That's either indie snobbery (which will get you nowhere) or fear. If you were applying for a grant to start a small business would you not go research the system and meet whoever you had to in order to get what you wanted?

Why is it that because you funded a recording you feel you can skip that step? Is it because you support the arts? If I were an artist on your label I'd be bummed if I knew you were totally ignoring the politics of getting a grant and concentrating on paperwork. Remember, you're not the artist you are the label. Being a label owner is all about knowing people and getting shit done.

I'm sure you're disheartened but instead of writing blogs go take a meeting with a judge.

We agree on Flemish Eye. Those guys are rad"

and

"As I sit here looking at the letter I got from the Canadian Government yesterday telling me I owe them $749.00 in taxes from last year (I make 11 bucks an hour), all I want to say is fuck arts funding in general. If your band/art/film is so piss poor that it cant rise through the clutter on its own merit, then it deserves to be buried.

Fuck the bands who got the grants, and fuck those bands and artists standing in the bread line waiting for another government handout."

its probably good he did not mention his bands...as then they would be affiliated and maybe have less success at receiving funding in the future.

anyhow i think the guy comes across as sour grapes.

grants...grants...grants...well i really do not know the music scene where i live now, but in newfoundland several people i know got funding to 'tour'. its not an easy road, but the bands that got the money were all great bands from different genres. point being sometimes money goes to where it should. i support the arts, it enriches my life, but i would still find it hard to give to somebody with such a sense of 'entitlement' without backing up too much of why he deserves it.

thanks robl.

i might need them...i will try to find out today.

i also bought tix..on a side note are they at will call or do you have them? cause i never got mine and cant remember if they are at will call.

..mmmh not for me thats for sure.

thats great news. wishing you well.
