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!

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!

After a brief BBQ hiatus Nick returns and when we listen to the voicemails we find out that he has either a fan or a stalker. You’ll have to listen for yourself and decide which on it is.

This week we have Danny as our guest from The Digital Buddhas which is an organization for The Disco Biscuits fans who like to see their shows while remaining drug and alcohol free. He also recently attended Bisco Inferno and gives a great review of the shows and the lot scene in general. Turns out he saw our good friend Neil from the Coventry Music blog, it really is a small world after all.

The clock is ticking as I type this blog post. Right now there is only 1.5 hours left to submit your lot stories to win the Alpine travel package for the Phish shows. So if you’ve been waiting till the last-minute now is the time to get your entry in.

We received over 20 voicemails this weekend from our listeners, thank you everyone who left a message. Due to time restrictions we could only play 1o of them but thank you again to everyone who took the time to leave us a message, keep them coming!

Thank you to CID Entertainment who was our sponsor for this month and is the reason we’re able to give away the Alpine travel package. We’re currently looking for other sponsors, if you’re interested please contact at info@thisweekonlot.com and we’ll be sure to get back to you right away.

TWoL 31: Knee Deep in Brisket

Steve and Emilie go live as a duo again this week while Nick is knee deep in brisket preparing for his big BBQ cook-off this weekend!  We wish him all the luck 300 h3tty crystals can bring a brah…

We start this episode off by doing a quick recap of this past week’s musical outings; Emilie went hipster-wook and hit up Plants and Animals. Not quite a the lot scene, but the show rocked HARD!  If you see this band coming through your town – GO!  Steve kept it OG-wook and spent the night with a few fellow twibe members at DSO in New Jersey (keep it dirty) and reports that there was no shortage of wookery at the raging Shakedown out front.

Festival season officially kicks off this weekend with lots of Memorial Day Weekend fun from coast to coast.  We run down the list of all the festivals to choose from: with so many amazing options you have no excuse to be on couch tour!   Starting in the middle we’ve got Summer Camp going on it’s 10th year in Chillicothe, Illinois – people travel from all over for this UMoe. fest.  The northeast has got DelFest where Noob Laura will hold down the fort (we better get some lot reports).  The west coast gets the most love with four festivals to choose from: Lightning in a Bottle if you’re looking for untz, Mountain Aire Furthur Fest if you’re looking for grilled cheese, Desert Rocks festival in Utah if you’re looking for beautiful surroundings and Sasquatch up at the Gorge if you’re looking for skinny jeans.  All in all, it looks like it should be a nice little weekend of music.

With summer tour only days away, we touch on late nights and ticket checks.  SPAC night 1 has sold out making it the first show other than those that sold out immediately to “sell out.”  If you didn’t get a chance to snag tickets, check out our buddy Jim’s contest – he’s giving away a pair of SPAC pavillions for a good cause – MS research.  We also talk late nights as we look at all the artists traveling to Telluride to play to those who can’t find a miracle.  And, speaking of Phish – we’ve heard major “no’s” on the Indio rumor that had been circulating in recent months…which leads us to our next poll:  If there’s no festival in Indio, where will it be?? We’ve come up with a few options below so scroll, vote and let us know what you think.

As many of you have heard, there was a bit of family drama in the PT world this past week, congratulations to PhanTank who has officially earned his 15 minutes of fame.  We here at TWoL want to go on record and say “can’t we all just get along??”  Come on people, we’re here for the music!!

We close it out with voicemails were we have a little nugget from our youngest listener (go to sleep, it’s past your bedtime!!)

Stay tuned and keep the lot reports coming….you never know….maybe you’ll end up the winner of an Alpine Valley travel package!

TWoL 30: And It Begins

We’re all back together this week bringing the latest and greatest.  Austin City Limits was finally kangfirmed, thanks to CoventryBlog for a good head start on that one.  We all think this is a really wise choice for Phish (and a much better choice than Bonnaroo) and shows that Phish does what they want.  Three day passes sold out before the announcement, which we also think is pretty sweet, but single day passes are still available.  With ACL being Oct 8-10, of course that only further solidifies the oh-so-fun Vegas rumor of three nights at the Thomas & Mack the following weekend.  We say book it.  Other possibilities to round out the first leg of fall tour could be LA, Phoenix, Denver, and a few others in between…and of course, maybe, Indio.

Next do a quick ticket check (ticket cheeeeeck) and peep on how much $$ summer tour tickets cost as of today.  A real-time check showed some of the cheapest bottoming out at $19 and of course Telluride still in the lead at a whopping $1000+.  Berkeley is up there at $200 and surprisingly you can still get an Ntelos ticket for around $75.  With less than a month left til the start of the tour, we’ll see how these prices hold up.  We heard Alpines are already hanging from trees out there.  Just saying…

Speaking of Alpine…CID Entertainment’s Alpine Valley travel package is still up for grabs.  We wanna hear your best lot story.  It doesn’t have to be crazy, it doesn’t have to be illegal or scandalous (although we do wanna hear those too).  It just has to be awesome.  This week we wanna hear some lot love stories!  Tell us how you fell in love on the lot.  You can enter three different ways: 1. Call us and leave a message at 419-NO-WOOKS  2. Hit us up on the blog 3. Send us an email.  Enter all three ways, we dare you.

Touching ever so slightly on last’s week’s spring cleaning, TWoL is looking to go live this summer from the lot so we need equipment!  We now have a h3tty donation page were you can show your love once, or over and over again.  You can also show your love by becoming our fan on Facebook.

Last but definitely not least, we listen to a few voicemails, including an always rare pro-wook VM.  Thanks to our buddy Mike we now also have a h3tty new VM jingle!  (Check out some of his other stuff here and here.)  Prank calls or wook-spottings, don’t forget to drunk dial us and leave us a lot report.

Next week we’ll be back with (hopefully) more breaking news!!

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.
