Listen to Episode 92

This week, Steve, Emilie and Katie tackled the big news of the day:  YEMSG lottery emails have arrived!!  Of course we were all big losers.  But someone out there must have gotten tickets right?  Congrats to the winners and please share the wealth!  And don’t forget about public on sale Saturday October 29th at noon.

If you were a winner or a loser in the lottery you should still check out the great after shows happening NYE weekend.  Bisco announced that they are playing December 28th late night so that they wouldn’t conflict with Phish.  Check out the details for that and the rest of their NYE run here.  Also for all you late night folks, Wyllys will be bringing his NY Hustler Ensemble (featuring the lovely and talented Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman) to Sullivan Hall for an after show on the 31st.  We also discussed a rumor about a possible Marco Benevento after show on December 29th.  Keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement kids!

Next, Steve filled us in on TAB’s October 12th show at the Wellmont.  He found it to be a great show for a $20 ticket with straightforward Trey rock.  And in the Ticket Check we learned that you can still see them at the Tabernacle on November 11th for cheap!  Also in Ticket Check, scalpers and crazy people are already posting YEMSG tickets for sale despite the fact that lottery announcements just started rolling in.  At least wait for public onsale people…  And finally, Jamcruise is sold out, sorry folks!  But give a shout out to Steve and Noob Laura on the boat!

Looking ahead we checked out Mr. Miner’s long awaited book release.  Railroad Earth is also doing a sweet Thanksgiving weekend in Stroudsburg, PA full of bluegrass, art, poetry and food.

Emilie has been a busy girl up in Boston and gave us recaps on Little Dragon at the Royale and The Low Anthem at the Somerville Theater.  She’s looking forward to Blizten Trapper, Dawes, and Dark Star Orchestra.  Steve and Katie will be hitting up the Lawn Boys this weekend in NYC for some epic Halloween show action.

That’s all she wrote this week.  Go catch some shows and leave us lot reports:  419-NO-WOOKS.  ‘Til next time, peace!

- Katie

TWoL 90: and Nick’s at furthur…. so… there’s that.

Listen to Episode 90

Steve, Katie and Steve discussed the brah who got beat down on lot in Colorado for simply selling his wares.  The Denver Westword wrote a long piece detailing the facts, laws, etc. Do you have a good Phish lot confiscation story?  Leave us a voicemail: 419-NO-WOOKS.

Next up:  All Trey all the time!  TAB tour began this week with a benefit at Higher Ground for Hurricane Irene victims.  They debuted two new songs and the show is available on LivePhish for all those who can’t wait for AUDs.  This week Trey hits the Carolinas and Maryland.  Check out the Ticket Rundown for prices near you.

Jam Cruise announced its Theme Nights:  Mothership Masquerade, Go Green and Yacht Club.  Get your creative costume juices flowing!  And for those of you still on the fence, only 35 cabins left.

Next up TWoL’s shows for the week.  Toonces hit WSP, with an unsurprisingly questionable crowd.  Of course, he fit right in.   He also hit PGroove with listener @RickRoth3.  And finally, Dayglow – body paint, neon lights and DJs.  What else could you ask for?

In the meantime, Steve and Katie hit Conspirator at Brooklyn Bowl.  Steve says it was his favorite Conspirator show – The Wall/Shakedown mash-up was a highlight!  Katie followed that up the next night by a show by the London Souls at Brooklyn Bowl, a NYC band who has a modern take on the 70’s – if you like Hendrix or Zeppelin, check them out.

And finally, just ‘cause the Phish isn’t touring doesn’t mean there isn’t fall music.  Check out Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Railroad Earth and the Cactus himself.

That’s it for this TWoL.  Looking forward to Emily’s return next week and hoping that Nick doesn’t get seduced by Wooks with crystals and promises of free heady grilled cheese for life…

Peace!

Katie

 

 

TWoL 47: Stuff White People Like

Listen to Episode 47


We’ve got a very special episode of TWoL for you! Our guest this week is Caroline McCarthy from CNET. She comes to us to “defend” her comments on the 404 podcast episode where OkCupid reveals what white people like or at least they post on their dating page they like. Turns out what white guys over 30 like is Phish. It could be because many of them missed out on chasing girls in their 20′s because they were too busy chasing Phish around the country. You be the judge!

In a classic Bros vs. Brahs showdown we also discuss the difference in the female presence between a DMB show and a Phish show. Honestly way more females are at DMB shows then a Phish show, I don’t think it’s really an argument there. The point of discussion may be more around why? Leave us a voicemail and let us know your opinion on why such diversity between females at a DMB and females at Phish. 419-NO-WOOKS is the number to call!

Technology has brought the world together and information at your finger tips. People are more active and connected then ever, point in case Facebook and twitter. With the availability and connections you can create so easily, practical uses are exploding. If you’re an iPhone user there are now two Phish apps available, Live Phish and iTour.phish. If you’re an Android user there is only one Phish related app at this time, you can find it here.

Don’t forget there’s still time to sign up for the Atlantic City, NJ Phish tweetup. You don’t have to be on twitter to RSVP, come join us! You can RSVP at this link.

Last but not least we run through some voicemails. This week is a little interesting, we received all different kinds of voicemails. One of which appears to have been someones one phone call from jail. Thanks for providing a lot update even though you were locked up! For more details you’ll have to listen to the podcast. Don’t forget everyone that leaves us a voicemail during this Fall Tour will be eligible to win a Touropoly set from this month’s sponsor Touropoly.com.

Thank you everyone for the support, and we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 40: It’s Raining Men!

After missing last week, we had to make it up this week with an extra long episode for you with a packed house on the podcast. Our friends Andrew and Mike from GlowStickWars.com join us as well as our friend Eric from the now infamous SKYGATE2010 scandal.

Emilie is back from Telluride and Steve made it out of Jones Beach unscathed, even though it was raining men…I mean wooks. But in all seriousness we here at TWoL are glad the fan was ultimately not seriously injured, although we don’t encourage or condone this type of behavior.

So the big news is that Phish Fall Tour was finally announced today! Some rumors were true and as usual some were totally bunk. Our friend Scotty from YEMblog has a great rundown of the venues slated for this Fall as well as the capacities that each can hold. It looks like this tour Phish is keeping it short, small, and sweet with no venue holding more than 14,000 a night.  Although the tickets are $10 more this year, we discuss the possible reasons for the higher rates and how this could affect lot economics. Are the days of 2 for 5 over? Say it ain’t so.

Furthermore, for the second year in a row fans will be treated to a Halloween show, will there be a cover this time and what album will they cover? You’ll have to listen to the podcast to hear our predictions. You can see all the dates and ticket info here.

This was the last week for picture contest entries, congratulations to our friend and long time listener Tyler for his winning photo he took. We would also like to give a big thank you again to Andrew and Mike for being the TWoL sponsor for second leg of Phish Summer Tour! You can see Tyler’s winning entry below.

Last but certainly never least we run through your voicemails. Thank you to everyone who submitted a lot report we received a TON of reports from fans the past 2 weeks, keep them coming! We would like to give a special shout out to Jessica F. the winner of our CID Entertainment travel package to Alpine Valley. She left one of the most thorough lot reports we’ve ever received and it sounds like CID Entertainment took care of business and she had a blast!

Don’t forget to keep the lot reports coming and we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 37: Poop and the Scoop

This weeks episode was a whirlwind of good times and technical difficulties. We apologize for the mishaps, our internets were getting wook’d this week. Even though the interwooks tried to take us down we pressed on and managed to finish the episode. Props to the chat room folks who stayed with us through the mayhem!

This week is a Phish ticket check, and low and behold tickets for the Greek and Telluride are holding steady at well above face. With the first leg of tour having some major bustouts, no official Fall Tour announcement yet, these being the only shows on or near the West Coast, demand is through the roof! Speaking of the Greek, Nick is holding a Tweetup at the 5 Restaurant inside of Hotel Shattuck in Berkeley, CA. To RSVP and get more details click here.

Remember we still have our photo contest going on courtesy of our sponsor for Phish Summer Tour part II, Glowstickwars.com.  Check out the pictures below and congratulations to this weeks winner! Don’t forgot to bring your camera and send your photo submissions to info@thisweekonlot.com and each week we will pick a winner and Glowstickwars.com will ship you some uber h3tty glowsticks for free!

As always don’t forget to hit us up with your voicemails, we expect to have a full mailbox of lot reports with all the shows going on these next few weeks!

This weeks photo entries. Thanks for all the submissions. Keep them coming.

After last weeks long but worthwhile episode we thought we would keep it short and sweet this week. We welcome back Pete from PhanArt to discuss an upcoming art show and also to mention that he will be our sponsor for the first leg of tour. Listen to the episode to find out details on how you can win some uber h3tty posters and t-shirts from PhanArt.

First leg of Phish tour is right around the corner and we want to make sure that you are aware of ticket prices. We run through a quick ticket check of the first part of tour and let you know where prices stand. Surprisingly one of the smallest venues might not be as hard a ticket as previously thought.

Once again we want to say congratulations to Mr. Chris for winning the Alpine travel package from CID Entertainment. Keep those lot stories coming in people, we want to hear about anything and everything during this first leg of tour!

TWoL 14: Moons over Brahami

This special episode was recorded live from Miami. We all traveled down to check out Phish for the 30th and NYE show and decided to put an episode together from the hotel room.

First up we talk about the lot scene at America Airlines Arena or lack thereof a lot. We found out that you make get closer than you want to with other phans in this particularly tiny lot.

We also talk about the iphone Phish apps Steve reviewed in our last episode. Steve and Laura managed to kill sometime on their long drive down to Florida using the app I Didn’t Know and we put the Phanatic app into good use last night to track all the bustouts from the show.

Speaking of bustouts last night was a great show and there were many bustouts throughout the night. We talk specifically about Tela and how one of our friends has been obsessed with this long-awaited song.

Often times we give travel tips, this time we talk about how our travels went getting to Miami and even managed to meet a Phan that came all the way from Germany. He runs a blog for all the Phans in Germany and Europe.

Even though we’re all in our late 20′s or older we discuss the age-old question of how much information do you give to your parents? Turns out some of us are still telling little white lies about where we go when we’re on tour.

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.

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