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

Listen to Episode 75

This week, TWoL hits you with an episode full of phish news and your voicemails. Steve and Steve are joined by Adam, and we talk about some new additions to the .net. We’re excited to see new merch and “collections”, which are likely to keep even the nerdiest of phish phans happy.

In other news….. the chat room was joking around how I always say “we will link to this in the blog.” So this week, I’m not linking to anything in the blog. Take that chat room.

Drink!!!

Listen to Episode 67

Is the highly anticipated 9th Phish festival about to be announced? Hell we don’t know, there’ s been so much speculation at this point anything is possible. Speaking of anything being possible, the name of the Watkins Glen festival is rumored to be SuperBall 9. Online Phish Tour broke the news after some serious internet sleuthing about who owns the web domain. Read all the details here.

The schedule for the Rock and Roll Resort Festival has been released! Each night has a party theme and suggestion of what to wear. Make sure if you haven’t yet to get your tickets for this exclusive party!

We run through most of the voicemails we received but had to leave out a few. Thank you to everyone who left us a lot report! If we missed yours we’ll get to it next week! Don’t forget to program us in your phone 419-NO-WOOKS is the number!

Ever brought a parent to a jamband show? And said parent wasn’t exactly a fan? Or even remotely into the scene? Leave us a  comment on the blog and tell us about it. Steve will be taking his mom to PNC for Phish and wants to know about your experiences.

Thanks again for the support everyone, we’ll see you next week on lot!

Listen to Episode 55

Going live after midnight on the east coast, we thought it was only appropriate to title this episode “TWoL After Dark”. But we wanted to get in one last “normal” show of 2010, so we all grabbed a few drinks, and made it happen. Big ups to everyone in the chat room who stayed up late with us.

No big news this week on the jamband scene, so we hit you with all the standards; lot reports, ticket checks and whimsical banter. Don’t be hesitant on downloading this one however, it’s pure classic TWoL. Emilie saw a ton of music, Nick discusses the tap water situation in Vegas, and I play a lot of inappropriate sound bytes throughout. Some final advice before the Phish holiday run starts is given, and we fill everyone in on our plans for the same. Spoiler alert: WINE BAR!!!

Without a doubt, thanks to everyone who has been listening, whether from episode 1 or episode 54. We appreciate the support. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday, and we will see you guys on lot in Worcester.

Be good,

Steve

PS: Special thanks to friend of the show “fishinole1″ for a h3tty donation which we will put towards some stickers to hand out during this upcoming run.

Special Report: Camp Bisco 9, “The Silent Podcast”

Listen to Special Report – Camp Bisco 2010

Hey guys, this week we have a special report for ya, live from Camp Bisco 2010. This is a unique episode, as it will bring some firsts to the program. As usual, we hit you up with an episode discussing the scene. This week, the players are “Noob” Laura, PhanArt Pete, and myself (Steve). We review the camp grounds, our favorite sets of music, and all the “WHOMP” we ran in too (WHOMP is the new UNTZ). Next, I hit shakedown and scored interviews with vendors and artists. Finally, we add some updates during the rain delay that occurred on Saturday night, delaying the Biscuits final throw down.

In addition to the episode, I also have put together some photos and videos of the weekend. There is so much to do at Camp Bisco, it would be impossible to do it justice in the half hour broadcast. True to our mission, we are bringing you a snap shot of “the lot”, but I couldn’t help but throw in some band photos and coverage. This was my 5th Camp Bisco, and without hesitation, I can say it was for reals the best one. If you have never been, you have to go next year. I know I will be going.

Finally, I would like to apologize for the crappy audio on my mic during the first half of the episode. Laura and Pete sound good, but I had some weird shit going on. I hope this isn’t a deal breaker, the rest of the audio is great, but I wanted to acknowledge it. Also, big ups to Laura and Pete for joining in this episode. Thanks to the carenwest pr for having TWoL on the scene.  Finally thanks to the Disco Biscuits for putting on one hell of a good time!

TWoL 35: I’ve Been Partying Since June 17th

After a few weeks on Phish tour and at High Sierra Music Festival the entire crew of TWoL is back for this episode! Emilie has been going nonstop since June 17th wooking it up with the best of them and has tales of tour from coast to coast.

We have a review of all the Phish lots we’ve been to since the last time we left our listeners at Merriweather. There were a lot of wooks, even more cops, some serious bust outs from the band, and Steve learns that luke warm wine from a bag doesn’t sell well on the lot. Just goes to show there’s always a lesson on the lot.

We received a TON of voicemails since our last full episode and we appreciate everyone leaving us amazing lot reports. There was so many we couldn’t get to all of them but we tried to bring you the best of the best. Looks like a lot of folks from Phish tour left us messages as well as some from Furthur. Keep them coming!

Last but not least we try out a new segment on the show reviewing a random search term people used to find our blog. We’re not exactly sure how the googles navigated people to our site from this term and even what the person really meant. You be the judge!

Thanks again to PhanArt for sponsoring us this month and to everyone who left voicemails. We’ll be announcing the random winner of the PhanArt package giveaway next week. Until then see you on the lot!

Hey everybody, have you heard???

Heard what brah?

Tune in to find out what you should have heard, we guarantee it’s extra h3tty. While you’re finding out what you should have heard you’ll also find out about Steve’s experience last weekend at tDB and Emilie’s experience at Dr. Dog. Surprisingly at tDB the flat brims were not out in numbers but that didn’t stop the nitrous tanks from following the untz. Emilie also finds out that Dr. Dog can be a pretty hard ticket to get.

We got some great voicemails this week, thank you to everyone who left us a lot update. We would especially like to thank the gentleman who left us the voicemail about The Allman Brothers Band, it helped Nick relive an interesting concert moment he had last year. You’ll have to listen to hear the whole story, but let’s just say it ends with a spunion 60 year old lady getting a high five from Nick.

Make sure to be on the look out early next week for our review of the Phish 3D movie lot’s, it opens this weekend and all 3 of us have plans to see it this weekend. Until next time, try to stay wook free our friends.

Festival 8 is back in all of its full glory on the big screen! Today the cities were finally announced where you can go and see Festival 8 in 3D as performed by Phish on Halloween Weekend 2009.  Cities are listed here and at some select theatres you can already purchase advance tickets. The film is scheduled to open on April 30th and run for one week so be sure to see it while you can.

Next up we’ve got a ticket check, it appears that Great Woods has finally “sold out” as we were no longer able to pull tickets. I guess everyone will just have to wait for the inevitable rerelease that’s sure to happen. We also perform a sanity check and see what prices tickets are going for. Every show that isn’t sold out is going for under face and currently Telluride holds the top price at around $700 a ticket. No surprises, but we’ll keep an eye out and let the listeners know what’s going on each week.

Our friends over at Glide Magazine did a rundown of the “10 Hardest Phish Tickets” and for the most part we agree with their lists. There are some discrepancies and debatable picks but over all we agree. You can check out the list here.

Speaking of movies, turns out The Grateful Dead have another movie coming out. Got to keep the merchandising machine running, Bobby needs some new shorts!  Jambase has a great write up providing the details about where and when you can see the movie in theatres as well as details on when you can buy the movie.

Our old friend Noob Laura is back on the episode this week and she brings with her a book review of Headz. This book is about the lot scene and about different characters and their experiences getting to the lot and on the lot. We aren’t sure how we feel about the book but if you’re interested you can find it on their website but you’ll have to take a listen to find out Laura’s review.

Last and certainly least (in some of our opinions) is the strange Hulaween announcement of SCI and tDB playing in Hampton, VA. We’ve got our predictions of how the flatbrim, untz, glitter, hula-hoops, and pinwheels night is going to turn out and it’s not looking good. If you’re bored off your ass or just want to kangfirm we aren’t making this up and they really are planning to do this check out the info.

Thanks everybody for listening, we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 24: I saw you with 7 extra Lawn ticket stubs in your hand!

After a brief delay this week due to technical difficulties we’re back up and at ‘em and we’re bringing with us a new guest. Emilie joins the podcast as a permanent member this week. She met Steve and I this past year, myself at the Hampton shows and Steve at the Fenway show. Coincidentally she also met Noob Laura at the Hampton shows where the Phish Twibe had their first official tweet-up.

So the big news this past week has been the announcement of the Phish lottery results and the on-sales for the summer shows. Each of us talk about how we fared in the lottery. Some of us did better than others but the general consensus is we all got what we wanted either in the lottery or during the on-sales. As the title alludes to, tickets are pretty easy to get now that the hype as died down.

Which brings us to our next point of discussion, what sold out and what is still available? Phish officially lists nTelos, Berkeley, Telluride, Great Woods, and both nights of Jones Beach as sold out. However, during our podcast we were able to pull a Great Woods pavilion ticket so something weird is going on with that.

Telluride is the hot item ticket so far this tour as it’s a 2 day event and involves camping so it can practically be considered a mini festival. The big news was the announcement presale that anyone who purchases a ticket through the only available vendor for this event, Tickethorse.com, would get a paperless ticket. These paperless tickets are an effort for the band to help prevent scalping from these highly sought after tickets. It still won’t stop any scalpers who won tickets in the lottery from selling their tickets but it’s a good start. What the hell is a paperless ticket and how does it work you ask? Well check it out here for an explanation of how it all works.
Our discussion about ticket scalping brought us to another point. What if all shows were general admission? There’s some good points and some bad points, and in the end would it all work out? Or would people just be a little freaked out? You’ll have to listen to find out our thoughts.

In other Phish related news, there will be a 3D movie of last years epic Halloween festival Fest8 in Indio, CA. You can check out a trailer and sign up for the mailing list which will announce theatre dates and times here. There is a sneak preview coming out in a few select cities on April 20th, but the official release of the movie is scheduled for April 30th.

Finally we finish up with your voicemails as well as letting everyone know our live feed will not be back up until May due to some studio “upgrades” that Steve needs to perform.
Thanks everyone for listening, make sure to leave us your lot reports at 419-NO-WOOKS.
(NOTE: The actual episode ends at about 34 minutes. The last 12 minutes is an excerpt from about the 5 hours spent trying to score pavilion tickets during the public on-sale. Nick, Eric, Jim and I used skype to coordinate an attack on Ticketmaster.- Steve)

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.
