Special Report: Live at the Poster Show

Listen to Special Report: Live at the Poster Show

This past weekend, during Phish’s stellar three day Atlantic City run, the Mothership Art Collective presented the First Tube Poster Show and TWoL was on hand, reporting live.  The show was held on Saturday at the Trump Plaza Casino and featured more than a dozen artists from across the country, selling posters, pins, tee-shirts and all manner of other Phish and music related art.  The event was a great success pulling in an estimated 1,000 fans.  The artists and fans alike were in great spirits and the buzz in the room was positively electric.  Steve ran the show for TWoL, while Toonces and I worked the crowd.  Listen in to the edited version of the live stream to hear interviews with artists and fans.  This is a great listen for those who missed the event and for those who want to relive it.  Thanks to Pete “Phanart” Mason for inviting TWoL and to the Mothership Art Collective for putting on such a great event.  I am already looking forward to a bigger and better event on the next tour!

Beyond the poster show, we give the basic rundown about Bader Field and Atlantic City in general. Since this was recorded Saturday afternoon, there is not much to say about the shows. For a full recap on all the music, be sure to tune into the next type 2 cast.

Until next time, enjoy tour, travel safely and rage proper!

Terr Prep – Summer 2012 (Blog)

Hey Everyone,

Since there is no show this week I wanted to kick down a quick update to the TWoL Nation.

Phish tour is just two days away and we will be on the scene reporting from Worcester. Look to us for colorful commentary on the scene outside and any major highlights from inside. Keep our Twitter & Facebook feeds handy for said updates.  I won’t be bringing the studio with me, so no live streams on this outing (sad face).

Mr. Miner posted this morning about a mobile app called CrowdsEye. It appears to be a scavenger hunt based, social network type game. A Phish tour themed hunt begins tomorrow and runs through September 16th. Prizes include free tix, posters and copy of Miner’s book. I’ll be sure to download the app and see how it works. Expect a review on the next episode.

None of the #TWoL crew will be at Bonnaroo this year, so be sure to send us in a lot report (419-NO-WOOKS) and we will play it on the air. Next stop for us is Bader Field in Atlantic City, which is where our first tour broadcast will be. We are pleased to announce that we will be streaming live from the First Tube Poster Show at Trump Plaza on June 16th, around noon. We hope all of you will stop by, check out some art, and say hello. For those tuning in live, we will be in video  and hope to bring you some artist interviews as well as the usual TWoL shenanigans and insight.

That’s all for now. Safe travels, be good, and thanks for listening.

TWoL 102: Major Hard-on for This Week on Lot

Listen to Episode 102

Happy Phish tour announcement week kids!!  It’s the most wonderful time of the year besides, well, tour itself.

But first, a big congrats to TWoLer Stuart White, winner of our Aura Music Festival ticket giveaway.  Stuart won a pair of tickets to this festie, being held down in FL March 9-11.  Remember to follow TWoL on Facebook and Twitter and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming ticket giveaways and you could be our next big winner.

As I’m sure all of you heard, Phish summer tour leg 1 was announced in typical Phishy fashion yesterday, on Leap Day, with a hilarious and only slightly disturbing video detailing Fishman’s pre-tour training regimen.   The tour includes stops at many of Phish’s favorite stomping grounds like Deer Creek, Alpine Valley, SPAC and Jones Beach.  There is also some kind of mini-festival stop in Atlantic City (don’t forget your Maltese Falcon).  You can request tickets through PTBM until Monday, March 12th.  Listen along as we discuss each stop, the flow of the tour in general and TWoL’s plans for the summer.

Also in this episode we discuss Ticketmaster’s new iOS app, released just in time for Phish on-sales.  In more ticket news, Bonnaroo and Phil Lesh had some major ticket debacles in the last few weeks.  And in festival news we talked about the All Good and Mountain Jam lineups.

And of course, we heard your voicemails.  Including perhaps the most epically crude voicemail that TWoL has ever received.  Don’t miss this one!  And don’t forget to call in and profess your love to us (or to just leave a plain old fashioned lot report) at 419.NO.WOOKS.

Finally, tune into the Gametapes Forum tonight.  Join in to listen to and discuss 7.10.00 set II.

Good luck on your ticket requests and let the countdown to summer tour officially begin:  98 days ’til Worcester!
