This special report was recorded live at Rock N Roll Resort v3 in Kerhonkson, NY this past weekend. Tune in to hear Steve and I with special guest PhanartPete as we discuss the music, the scene, the hotel, the food, the costumes, the wooks, and more. Or, if you want to see our very tired faces, check out the video version of this special episode. Also, scroll down for our photo gallery or find it on Facebook, which we will be updating with new photos later this week. Were you at Rock N Roll Resort? Give us your impressions at 419.NO.WOOKS.
TWoL’s next stop will be The Blockley this Friday for Marco Benevento with Everyone Orchestra. Congrats to @LMarieJoan24 who won a free ticket to this awesome show! Stay tuned for a regular episode covering that show and more later this month.
Looking forward to dancing with some of you in Philly this weekend! To everyone else, be well.
We’re not gonna lie. It was a tough night, kids. A slew of technical difficulties almost kept us from getting an episode on the books. Some perseverance from UNO finally got us off the ground a little over an hour behind schedule. Get that man a cigarette!
We dove right in to the news stories with a nod to our show’s title. You don’t want to get on Bobby’s bad side and we here at TWoL are in agreement with him. In other news we broke down the lineups for Camp Bisco, All Good, and Big Up and take a look at the Bowlive IV guests. Furthur has sold out 8 nights at the Cap and if you find yourself there you just might get questioned by DanMar. We’ll let her explain why. In other tour news, we’re “Still Waiting” for those Phish dates but SCI and WSP fans have something to shout about.
Tech News Tidbit: get on those Umphrey’s free ringtones this week.
After two nice voicemails (keep ‘em coming!) we debuted a new segment: Ask DanMar. This one already looks to be promising and we can’t wait to have the next batch of questions answered. If you want DanMar to answer your questions, (any and all questions) send inquiries to:
This week on the podcast we are reviewing Jam Cruise, which has become the favorite annual event for many music lovers. While none of your hosts were on the boat this year due to a detour, we have all the details thanks to a couple special TWoL correspondents. Joining me are long time guest of the show, Pete “Phanart” Mason, and listener turned photog for hire, “Fee the Prodigy.” This was Pete’s first time on the boat and he was simply blown away, which is no easy feat since he is writing the book on festivals (literally). It was Fee’s second year on the boat, having bunked with the TWoL crew on JC10. In this forty minute long episode the three of us hit you with all you need to know about life on the boat. And just like on the boat, there isn’t a dull moment. We promise.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned next week when we will be back with a regular episode and a new host.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TWoLers! It’s 2013 and we are off to a good start. Well, a start at least. On tonight’s episode, we (Steve – Toonces – Katie) give our account of the shenanigans at MSG for the Phish holiday run. The building, tickets, antics, and much more are on the agenda. I’d tell you more but this is a podcast after all. Next, we hit your “lot reports” which include some Bob Weir action, inquiries into our “website,” and a FUTUREBIRDS report. Finally, we look ahead to some upcoming shows: Umphrey’s McGee, Ryan Montbleau Band, EOTO, and Dark Star Orchestra.
We hope everyone out there had a great holiday season and wonderful new years.
This episode will be the gang’s last regular episode of 2012. Steve, Toonces and I recorded on a Tuesday night just like we used to. We discussed YEMSG, of course. We talked after parties, tweet-ups, the state of public trasportation post-Sandy, and the MSG renovations/death of MSG as we knew and loved it.
Toonces also ran through the Heavy Pets tour dates for the rest of the year. And if you are too busy Christmas shopping to hit up any more shows make sure you check out PhanArt’s Holiday Gift Guide. Finally we did a quick run through of what shows we have all seen recently.
Steve and I will be coming to you next with Special Reports from Mayan Holidaze. And check us out during YEMSG for Special Reports featuring us, Toonces, and special guests. We’ve been light on lot reports lately. Don’t forget to call and leave us a message at 419.NO.WOOKS.
To start, we are joined by special TWoL correspondent Danielle (aka @DanMar85) who held down the end of Phish summer tour on the twitterz for us. She gives some great tips about travel to the dirty south including info on the venues, where to stay, what beer to drink and more. Toonces was down south as well, and he’s got his own stories to share.
Next, Danielle goes deep on Dick’s with tons of protips for seeing Phish in the mile high city. Where to stay, how to get to the venue, and even what to wear is discussed. If you are thinking about going the next time Phish rolls through CO you don’t want to miss out. With the throw down being objectively epic this year and the rumors there are two more years left in the contract, there are no excuses not to go next year.
Finally, we had some great voicemails (419-NO-WOOKS) and then pondered the Bieber effect on Phish tour. Ever since his appearance at the leg 2 tour opener in Long Beach the internets have been a buzz. Beiber’s guitarist Dan Kanter is quite the head and has been tweeting about his run at Dick’s. The result: my tweetdeck is blowing up with 1,000s of RT’s from this instagram.
As usual, thanks for listening, tell a friend, and we will see you guys at Catskill Chill this weekend.
We managed to run through a lot of news this week in just 30 minutes. Let’s get right to it!
As the title eludes to the first rumored 3rd leg Phish date has shown up. Personally TWoL is calling nans on this, it’s probably an announcement for ABBA or Garth Brooks. ; )
If you’re heading to Bethel for the Phish shows and need a place to stay we’ve got good news for you. The city approved camping permits for property owners in Bethel. What this means is that now any piece of land can be used as a “campground” for the weekend. Good news for phans that don’t have a place to stay and would like to camp close to the venue.
Speaking of Bethel, as we mentioned last week there are plenty of after-shows going on. For a list of the after shows check out this link.
Continuing on with the Phish news, the 2nd Phamily Poker Classic has been announced. It will be held in Tahoe at Harvey’s Casino. This tournament will have a structure so it finishes up in one day. If TWoL was going to be there you can bet your ass we would entering…and winning!
Switching gears we run through the initial moe. down lineup announcement. Ween, Railroad Earth, and Rubblebucket are a few names to note. More bands will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
The Governors Ball has been announced. If you’re looking to get our untz on in NYC then check out this festival. Steve will be there with his flat breezy in full effect.
NYC is keeping it going this summer with the Summer Stage series. Each of the 5 boroughs in NYC will be hosting concerts all summer. There’s something for everyone and it’s free so you have no excuse!
In random music news Steely Dan has announced a interesting tour. For full details check out this link.
In show reviews this week, Steve saw Railroad Earth at the Wellmont Theater. You can check out our twitter feed from May 7th for the play by play, but we did a recap during this episode. Jackie Greene opened the night with a solid set. RRE brought the energy level up when they hit the stage, especially on the floor. Steve was impressed they played a 2.5 hour set with narry a break, only leaving the stage for about 20 seconds before the encore.
This week we received zero voicemails. This makes TWoL a saaaaaaaaaad panda. Don’t forget we can’t be everywhere, we count on our listeners to leave us messages and let us know what’s going down on a lot near you!
Thank you again to everyone who supports us, we’ll see you next week on lot!
Tons of things were discussed on the podcast this week, let’s get right to it!
Adam from Phish.net was back on the show again to unveil some new features of their website. Take a listen to find out what’s new.
Phish announced the 2nd leg of their summer tour. Looks like the west coast is finally getting some love. Highlights of the tour include 2 nights at The Gorge, and 2 sets at the Outside Lands musical festival in San Francisco.
Speaking of Phish, looks like we’re having a repeat of last year where scalpers are advertising Phish tickets before they are even available through the lottery or on sale. This time the culprit is Ticket Network. Please feel free to give them a piece of your mind on twitter, their handle is @TicketNetwork.
In our last piece of Phish news it looks like there’s finally a flat breezy for all you untz loving Phish fans. This item is not on Phish Dry Goods website so this might not even be real. If you want to take a look at the rumored flat brim hat check out this link.
Prince is taking a page from his last tour at MSG and has booked 21 nights at the forum in LA. That’s a whole lot of high heels and scarves he’s going to have to lug out west.
For you creatures of the night, Bonnaroo has announced their late night bands. There’s something for everyone in this lineup.
Furthur also announced their summer tour this week. If you ask us it’s pretty damn ambitious, they have booked nearly every big shed this summer.
After nearly 12 years The New Deal is calling it quits. You can catch them on their farewell tour this summer. Goodbye and good luck guys!
We run through the voicemails and even manage to answer some travel questions for a fan this week. Thank you to everyone who left us a message, keep them coming!
Thank you for the support, we’ll see you next week on lot!
Happy Fat Tuesday everyone, hope you all are listening to some New Orleans style jazz today!
We’re switching up the format on TWoL and going in more of a rotation format for hosts similar to what we’re doing for type ii cast. This weeks episode brings a long time lot reporter and former guest Stephen aka Toonces to TWoL. Steve and Nick will remain constants while Toonces, Emilie, and Noob Laura will be guest hosts from time to time.
Not too much going in the jamband community news this week unless you’re living in or near Florida. FL had two festival announcements, first the Wanee Festival has been revealed. The Wanee festival looks like a lot of rock n’ roll with some funk and a dash of untz sprinkled in. It’s being held April 14-16th so if you’re in Florida we suggest you go and celebrate tax day weekend by blowing some money on some music!
Florida also is hosting the Langerado Festival again this year. Some of you may remember this festival from years past. It’s had an up and down history with the most recent version of the festival in 2009 being canceled due to poor ticket sales. It’s back again this year and we wish them the best of luck. The interesting thing about this festival is that early-bird tickets go on sale tomorrow (March 9th) for $75 but no bands have been announced yet. The festival isn’t until Oct. 8-9 and regular price tickets go on sale June 1st with the price doubling to $150. TWoL recommends if you even think you are going to this festival, buy the early-bird tickets, it’s a great deal.
Summing up this weeks jamband news is The Disco Biscuits “Camp Bisco Badge Program” announcement. Basically this fan fueled contest is designed as a modern-day street team using social media as the street corner and bar room poster board. Any fans that link their twitter and Facebook accounts to Camp Bisco will receive special notices about contests that can earn you points that can be used for prizes, even the possibility of VIP tickets. Well played Bisco, this is a very “hip” promotion and is using modern-day tools in a fun and interactive way.
As always we run through listener voicemails. Thank you to everyone who left us a lot report, remember we can’t be everywhere at once so please keep them coming!
In other news the Phish lottery has ended and the word on the street is that if you put in a for a lottery request you got tickets. TWoL is getting reports that nearly everyone had their lottery request filled and with mostly pavilion tickets. If you put in for the lottery please let us know how you did by leaving us a comment on the blog or leaving us a voicemail, 419-NO-WOOKS is the number.
In more Phish news all hotels within a 40 minute radius of the tour opening Bethel shows are sold out completely. But not to fear TWoL has got your back! We were able to find several camping locations that as of today still have spots available. We highly recommend you contact them yourselves to confirm and reserve availability. The last thing you want to be doing is wooking it up and asking to crash on someones h3tty floorspace. The campgrounds are listed below:
Next week we will be reviewing PNC, the lot, hotels, what to do and not to do, so stay tuned for that!
Before we leave you we also wanted to pose a question to our listeners. As it’s currently Lent right now, have you ever given up anything Jamband related for Lent? If so please leave us a comment on the blog or a voicemail and let us know.
Thank you again to all our listeners we appreciate your support! We’ll see you next week on lot!
Dust off your tent because it’s festival time! Lots of festival announcements and news this week, let’s get right to it!
The initial lineup for High Sierra Music Festival was announced! Looks like MMJ and Ween are headliners.
The heavily rumored Dave Matthews Band festival appearances are starting to get some more press. They are rumored to be in Atlantic City at Bader Field on June 24-26th according to jambands.com.
The Electric Forest Festival headlined by String Cheese Incident is taking place in Rothbury, MI. The lineup seems to be a bit all over the place but diversity is a good thing so take it or leave it.
The Rock n Roll Resort festival is kicking off the festival season. This unique festival combines the cost of your hotel (all shows are held on the hotel grounds) with your admission to the festival. Next to a state park this festival offers amazing scenic views and outdoor opportunities while being able to sleep in comfort and style. This festival is also a good way to start into the spring/summer musical spirit as it’s being held April 1-3 in Kerhonkson, NY.
Bisco Inferno is back again this year at Red Rocks. Come get your untz on in one of the nations most scenic parks!
Now that we have all the festival announcements out of the way, save the official Phish announcement of Wakins Glen, let’s get to some other news.
Phish.net has starting tracking and posting Sideshows from the different members of Phish. Basically this will keep track of setlists from the personal projects of the members of Phish. The initiative is still a work in progress but we look forward to it. Thanks to everyone at Phish.net for all the work you put in, it’s truly appreciated! Also, they have a sweet Cactus contest running right now.
Target has starting selling a womens Phish shirt. Surprisingly enough it appears PT has not yet got wind of this as there are no douchebag comments left on the reviews. Either that or Target regulates their comments and reviews very strictly. In any event happy shopping ladies!
Last but not least we run through all the voicemails we had leftover from last week. Thank you to everyone that left a report!
There’s a lot of news going on this week so let’s get right to it!
First and foremost we’re very excited to announce the launch of our brand page on Foursquare! Now when you check into your favorite venues in NYC, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and beyond, you can see tips from TWoL. As we continue to travel and visit new lots, venues, hotels, and restaurants we will add more tips at different locations. If you have a tip on a particular venue you would like us to add leave us a voicemail or email us and we’ll get it done!
As we were perusing the internet this week we discovered the h3ttiest drink coming to a lot near you. Although it’s super h3tty I wouldn’t expect to find it on lot priced at 2 for $5. Check out this link to see what drink we’re talking about and why the cost is going to price out the wooks.
Switching gears to music news we found out that after 12+ years Umphrey’s McGee producer Kevin Browning is taking on a new role at the UM headquarters. Taking his place will be Chris Mitchell a former Navy nuclear engineer with 15 yrs experience in the sound business. Good luck Kevin and welcome Chris!
It’s rumorville right now and as always the Phish rumors don’t disappoint. One rumor is that Phish is going to perform at some unnamed summer festivals. Part of the rumor also says that DMB would be playing at these same festivals. Our friends at Coventry Music Blog put up a sad yet funny old video of Trey playing with Dave from DMB. You can view this “nostalgic” footage over at Coventry Music Blog.
Some sad news about STS9 as they had to cancel their winter tour. Murph has been diagnosed with cancer and will be taking some time off for treatment and recovery. We wish him all the best, get well soon!
After the 3 previous stories we thought we would lighten the mood up a bit by talking about a hilarious story posted on christwire.com. Apparently “The Phish” is running America in more ways than one! The best part of this obviously fake site is that so many people believe it’s real. It just goes to show don’t piss off hippies or they will make idle threats on your blog post comments.
In Grateful Dead news some fans are upset at the $450 cost of a new Europe 72 box set that contains 60 CDs. They aren’t upset at the cost of $450 but that the original 7,200 box sets with special casing, artwork, and other surprises sold out and the new orders will still cost $450 but sans any frills. If you weren’t luck enough to get one of the 7,200 originals it sounds like you’re shit out of luck.
Trey Anastasio will back on tour and from the reports we’ve been getting the tour was an instant sellout. Tickets are already available on the secondary market. Our advice is to hold out, most likely you can get a ticket for face on lot.
Mike Gordon is also going to be on tour, his ticket sales seem to have gone the opposite of Trey’s. Currently as I’m typing this blog post it appears the only shows that are sold out are the Brooklyn Bowl shows. There’s still plenty of time but we imagine this won’t be a hard ticket either.
Last but never least we also run through your voicemails. Thank you to everyone who left one and thank you to all of our supporters, we’ll see you next week on lot!
This weeks episode of TWoL is a special one! We take a dip from our normal routine and have a run-through of 2010 to point out our favorite shows, venues, lots, and festivals. Also last but certainly not least we pick a winner of our Phish NYE hotdog giveaway!
Let’s get started with our favorite shows for 2010. It was tough to pick but below are our favorite shows/band for 2010.
Sadly we only had a few voice mails to play this episode. Don’t forget when you’re on lot, on your way to the lot, or even the day after the lot to leave us a report of the show! (419-669-6657)
Finally it was a really tough choice but we picked a winner for the Phish Meatstick giveaway. It was so tough in fact that we actually had to do an on air coin flip…drum roll…the winner is…Woot! Thank you to everyone who left a comment, better luck next time.
Thank you again to all our supporters, we’ll see you next week on lot!
For those of you who stuck with us in the chat room this week, we appreciate your dedication!
Once we did get rolling the first thing on the agenda this week was the hilarious video/music of the Baby Monkey video. If you haven’t seen this gem yet check out this link. You can also pick up the song that plays during the video for free until Nov 22nd on itunes. All we’ve got to say is you’ve got to keep on keeping on and get on that pig and hold on tight!
Our guest this week is no stranger to TWoL, it’s Phan Art Pete. He has been pretty busy lately with the release of the PhanFood book that’s upcoming and a contest he’s hosting to win free Phan Art. Check out his blog with all the details for your chance to win.
Trey from Phish has an upcoming acoustic show in a few days. Our very own Steve from TWoL will be in attendance and get this…he actually purchased his tickets for full price before the show! It better be worth it or expect an epic meltdown on TWoL in the upcoming weeks.
In other jamband news, Umphrey’s McGee is hitting the road with a vengeance January through March. Their tour dates include such h3tty places as Fargo, ND and Billings, MT. While often neglected, these beautiful cities are sure to inspire some great music. If you live anywhere near I suggest you check out the shows, because honestly you never know when/if a jamband will return to your town.
We’ve got another Phish ticket check for you this week and it looks like prices are holding steady. We all take wagers on where the final prices will end up. For the most part the consensus is everything will continue to drop except for NYE. But only time will tell.
Last but not least we run through the voicemails we received. Thank you to everyone who left us a message! Remember we can’t be everywhere and at every show, leave us a voicemail at 419-NO-WOOKS.
If you drive through the desert long enough you’re bound to see kamikaze bunnies…trust us.
But I digress…this week we are sans Emilie but we do have a female presence on the show in the form of this month’s sponsor, Amy from Touropoly. Touropoly is a game based on things and venues that are popular amongst the jamband scene. We are having a contest all month-long to give away a few of the Touropoly games. Just leave a lot report from whatever show you are at, Phish, WSP, UM, Tony Bennett, Paul Anka, it don’t matter! We will randomly select a few winners at the end of the month. Make sure you tune in to find out if you won!
Not too much going this week but we find a few things to ramble about. Just as we predicted our ticket check confirms that every ticket on Phish Fall Tour 2010 continues to drop in price. The Halloween show is still topping the price list at $250 but hang tight phanners, you might be able to get into the show for face.
The New Years Eve run lottery emails went out today. Seems like most people hit the 30th show, a few hit the 31st show, and we’ve yet to hear of anyone who hit a ticket for the 1/1/11 show…Gamehenge perhaps? Leave us a voicemail if you or anyone you know actually hit something for the January 1st show.
In other jamband related news, Umphrey’s McGee had a contest to redesign their logo. Turns out they ended up with a UM in front of a rhino. Yep a rhino. I think Marc Ecko might have something to say about that if he had actually ever heard of UM.
Don’t forget about the Halloween Tweetup at the Atlantic City Phish show. Anyone is welcome, you can find details here. We swear we chose this location because the “wings” are so good!
Last but not least as always we run through your voicemails. Thank you to everyone who left a voicemail and thank you to everyone who joined the live chat this week. Every week we broadcast the show live on our Ustream TWoL account as well as record it for others to enjoy later. If you want to enjoy the live chat shows are broadcasted on Tuesday nights starting at around 9:30 pm EST. Come hide with herd and float with the flock!
Thank you again everyone, and we’ll see you next week on lot!
Happy happy oh my friend! TWoL is one year old! Thank you to everyone for your continued support and encouragement, it means more than you know!
This week we have some old friends back to discuss the wrap up of leg 2 of Phish Summer Tour and the upcoming Fall 2010 Tour. Our guests are Scotty who runs YEMblog and also does work for Hidden Track on Glide Magazine, and an old favorite…Noob Laura! Although she might not be a Noob anymore, you’ll have to listen to find out the details.
Bringing some positivity to the Phish scene there was an announcement today that the Mockingbird Foundation and The Mimi Fishman Foundation has raised over $1 million dollars! Glad to see things like that a making some “mainstream” news instead of the JB jumper.
Also hot off the press are the results of the Phish Summer Tour Survey that our friend Parker (the same Parker of the now infamous SKYGATE2010 TWoL debate) created. We all agreed and were glad to see that Deer Creek was the winner for the best lot.
Next up we decide to open up the closet and listen to the very first pilot episode of TWoL, it’s only 2 minutes long but it brings back many a memory. We also discuss what are our favorite moments on TWoL during a recap of the previous years episodes.
Finally as always we listen to your voicemails and check out a photo submission we received from one fan. Thank you everyone for listening and submitting your voicemails, photo’s, and comments, we really appreciate it.
We really want to take TWoL to the next level and provide live streams and interviews broadcasting from the lot. If anyone enjoys what we’re doing and wants to donate toward the cost of equipment so we’re able to make this dream come true please visit our donation page.
We are planning BIG things for TWoL over the next 365 days so keep tuning in to see what we do next!
*During our live broadcast one of the chat room attendees brought to our attention a phan that was injured in a car wreck around the time of the Telluride shows, if you’re interested in donating to help him out click here.
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 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)
We apologize for the delay in getting you an episode Steve was overcome with the wook flu last week and we were unable to get an episode up. However, I think this weeks episode definitely makes up for the delay.
Our guest this week is Andy Gadiel from Jambase.com and Andy Gadiel’s Phish Page. Andy gives us a rundown about how he got started with Jambase and the history of his personal Phish page. A word of advice, always volunteer at a music festival, it just might change your life.
Next up we talk about the shows we’ve attended in the last 2 weeks and what was happening in the lot scenes. All 3 of us made it to a recent show although some of the shows were better than others. Steve also chimes in about what’s “grinding his gears” wait till you hear how much he paid for a single beer.
Rumors, what would the intrawebz be without them? Phish is not so much “rumored” to be playing Telluride in Colorado as it’s been in the local news. Also heavily rumored is that Phish might be playing at Wrigley Field in Chicago on June 1st Andy certainly hopes so as he originally hails from the windy city and the rumored date is on the eve of his birthday.
The Disco Biscuits Camp Bisco has been announced and Steve is excited for the lineup. We find out that Andy actually attended the very first Camp Bisco and has some fond memories. Also make sure to check out Honest Tunes Radio Show , they’ll be interviewing Tea Leaf Green soon.
Speaking of history, yesterday was the one year anniversary of the return of Phish. This was also the same weekend that Nick first met Noob Laura in person. Happy Anniversary to Phish and Happy Anniversary to the This Week on Lot original crew.
Hope everyone enjoys this episode, we’re hoping to have Andy back on again soon to give us a live “lot” report from SXSW.
We’re at DEFOCN 5 here at TWoL, Steve is running out of light cream for his White Russians. In other news, I’m sure most of you already know that Bonnaroo made their lineup announcement. We talk a little about the lineup and the decisions that must be made when you have so many bands to choose from. We also talk about the Total Access Pass that Bonnaroo is offering this year, it’s basically the only way to guarantee that you’ll have a wook free weekend.
We also talk about Trey Tour and our guest this week, Eric, shares his experience from the recent Boston show. Turns out that TAB is a whole different scene than a Phish show.
Furthur tour rolls into the famous Barton Hall in Ithaca NY. Check out the 1977 concert here.
Finally as always we take a listen to your voicemails and emails about what’s going on in your lot. We’re still looking for someone to help fill Laura’s role while she is on hiatus so if your interested please leave us a voicemail at 419-NOWOOKS.
Please note: The new email addy is info@thisweekonlot.com. But, thisweekonlot@gmail.com will also continue to work.
