Listen to Special Report: Stuck on the Pouch

Here we have a quick episode to wrap up the MSG coverage. We talk about what we saw on lot, on the Pay Per View, and everything in between. Most importantly, we snagged an extra “foam meatstick” to give away. These are a hot item, already going on eBay for upwards of 60 bones. If you want to win one, it’s simple. Just leave a comment on the blog here telling us about your NYE, or, leave us a voice mail to the same effect, 419-NO-WOOKS. We will pick whatever story we like (perhaps randomly ;-) , and ship one off to the winner. Being that it is a new year, any of our listeners are eligible. The only ones who can’t win are TWoL hosts and their respective families. Contest ends at the start of the next episode.

We hope everyone had a great holiday season, and we will see you next week with a “Year in Review” episode. Thanks to everyone who made our holiday run so special, including “Toonces” for the NYE stub down, N8Dizzle for the Starr Hill, and Whipped Lightning for countless hours of shenanigans.

Thanks for listening.

TWoL 52: Don’t Text the Guy Streaming

Listen to Episode 52

Due to our holiday schedules this episode comes to you a day early and a host short. Yes it’s true we’re sans Emilie, but not to fear, long time TWoL correspondent Toonces fills the void. Emilie will be back next week once she gets back from her h3tty cruise.

First on the agenda this week is the review of the Trey show in Princeton. Steve and long time TWoL personality Noob Laura attended the show. Overall it was a really good show and someone how Steve managed to be seated next to one of the only wooks at the show. Even though the venue was really small there was definitely some open seats, you’ll have to listen to hear more details.

Steve also checked out Furthur in MSG on Saturday night. (Big ups to Jed Leckless for the tix.) Surprise surprise, Furthur shows have a level 10 crusty wook factor. I guess when you’ve been riding the tour train that long it’s hard to get off and take a shower. Overall the show was good, started strong but finished slow. To each their own.

Next up Toonces puts on a clinic of what types of beer are good for what types of lots. He also gives some advice on what to bring and how to sell if you’re going to try and make your gas money slanging beers on lot. There might be some fundamental changes in lot economics, this could be the death of 1 for $3 and 2 for $5 when it comes to beer. If you want the best sometimes you have to pay for it.

After that we run through a ticket check for the Phish holiday run. Looks like prices are holding steady or are rising. We also run through travel plans to and from the city for NYE. If you’re staying in Jersey we recommend using the PATH train unless you want to hang in NYC till 4:30 am. Take a listen to find out all of our travel tips.

Lastly we run through our voicemails for the week. Thank you to everyone who left a message! Remember we can’t be everywhere all the time so make sure to hit us up with your lot reports.

Thank you again everyone, we’ll see you next week on lot!

So the long awaited Phish 3D movie has finally hit theatres nationwide and all 3 of us managed to see it this past weekend. The movie definitely had some good points and some bad points but it all worked out. For the most part our experiences were pretty uneventful, tune in to find out the details of our movie night.

Next up is rumors. What would the internets be without rumors right? So there’s some Fall Tour rumors for Phish floating around. The one that seems to be getting the most attention is Austin City Limits in Texas. Other rumors are a return to Indio for another festival, a Gorge trip, and 3 nights in fabulous Las Vegas, NV. If the Vegas rumors are true, and god TWoL hopes they are, we will have a special live lot reports going on. Take a listen to hear more rumors about the dates and our plans if any of them come true.

As always we take a listen to your voicemail lot reports. Thank you to everyone who left us a Phish 3D lot report we received a lot of interesting takes from folks attending the screenings. We also receive one special lot report that’s actually up for “Lot Report of the Year” as it was so well done. Make sure to listen to all the voicemails as you don’t want to miss this nugget of lot gold.

We’ve also got a great poll going on this week, please take a moment to fill out our Phish 3D experience poll listed below.

TWoL 4.5: The Fest-8-Up-Date

Welcome back brahs and sis-brahs! We’re coming at you this Wook Wednesday with a mini-episode. We’re only a month away from Fest 8 and our hosts Nick and Steve are having mixed feelings about the proposed album list. Joined by Noob Laura, the guys discuss their personal opinions about the album choices…and damn it, another flash site?!

Check out the list of possible Fest 8 musical costumes here.

Today is also a very special day for a very special red head. Happy birthday, Mr. Anastasio! Nick and Steve also reminisce about the announcement of the first hiatus and what that meant to them. As Noob Laura was only 15 at the time (and presumably at swim practice or something), she has no opinion on the matter. NOOB!

As always, we’re thankful for the voicemails we recieve…even when they’re calling us out on questionable beer choices.  DiscoSis1 gives the boys a stern lecture on proper beer selection and how they’re doing it wrong.

It’s a short and sweet Wook Wednesday for you! Enjoy!

TWoL 2: Stealing Time from the Faulty MySpace

Is MySpace the wook of the internet? You be the judge. There’s some good points…and some bad points. In this episode we discuss the stream of Phish’s new album Joy released on MySpace before you can buy it. We talk around all aspects of this with our guest host Neil “The Joker” from CoventryMusic blog.

We also discuss the NPR radio interview of Trey and Page, specifically their comments on how they realize the hardcore fan base doesn’t fully support the albums. They (Trey & Page) also make comments about how you have to see Phish live to really “get” their music.

Next up we discuss the “Guilty Pleasures” NCAA bracket style music show run by Entertainment Weekly.  Phish is currently up against Mariah Carey, it should be noted that PT (Phantasy Tour) is largely responsible for their first victory taking out a #1 seed Nickelback.

We encourage and love feedback so of course we listen to and respond to the messages we received. There’s a visit from Stephen Hawking, the broseph discussing wook hate, the Joy leak, and a guy just looking for a ride to the next show.

Here are the you tube videos we mentioned.

Come join us next week as we leave the open question to you the listener. What’s your favorite lot? Tell us the what/where/why of your favorite lot and we’ll discuss next week. Also our friend Tij will be the guest host next week so look forward to a fresh face.

One more thing, we’re going to start randomly putting out WookWednesday podcasts, just little tidbits of how a wook/wookette can ultimately ruin a random day.

Thank you for listening.

DIY Merch

Want to rock some TWoL stickers or merch? That would be great, but as of now we don't have any funds or resources to hook you guys up (unless you see us on lot, then we might have some stickers).

Not to worry, there is a solution. We have no problem with anyone downloading the logo and using it however you see fit. Get some sticker paper at Walmart. Print some labels at Staples. Grab some "Iron-On" T-Shirt transfers. Upload the image to Cafepess and make a mouse pad. It's really up to you. We appreciate the free advertising and have no doubt you will look fly in that TWoL hoodie.

"High-Quality Logo Here. Right-Click > "Save Image As . . ."

PS: We'd love to see pics of any merch you make.
