Listen to Episode 96

This week on lot Steve, Katie and Toonces learned that Phish is not the only band playing on NYE.  Who knew?  We discuss Hidden Track’s extensive run down of NYE shows across the land.  And remember, TWoL wants to hear about all of your NYE shenanigans so leave us a lot report at 419.NO.WOOKS in all of your tipsy NYE glory.  If you are in NYC for Phish, Mule or AoD don’t forget about the variety of Phish after parties going on around the city.

During ticket check we were left speechless when we learned that YEMSG tickets are going for as much as $250,000.  Since this is clearly not an option, don’t forget that you can enter to win NYE tickets from both Cash or Trade and Magic Hat.  Toonces also brought a listener question to the table about how to tell if you are being scammed in secondary market ticket sales.

Next, we discussed some 2012 festival news.  It’s never to early to start planning your summer festie season kids.  One of the earliest festivals of the year is Some Kind of Jam 7, held in late April in PA.  Wakarusa tickets went on sale last weekend.  Check out that one, scheduled for May 31-June 3 in AR.  Also, Summer Camp, returning to IL on Memorial Day weekend, will begin announcing its line up this week.

We had fantastic lot reports this week from SCI, Cornmeal, and Skydog.   And we of course talked about our recent shows:  moe., SCI, 311 and Big Gigantic.

Also, check out the Kickstarter fundraiser to get the Everyone Orchestra album made.  The album features a ton of our favorite musicians and promises to be a great example of true improvisation.

Finally, a big shout out to our our patron this week, Stuart, for his generous donation.  Always appreciated!

‘Til next time, rage on!

TWoL 95: Chicken Waaaaangs!

Listen to Episode 95

We have Steve, Nick, and Emilie this week. Emilie is back on the carnivore side and has kicked the veggie lifestyle to the curb, hence our episode title for the week. Chicken waaangs are an amazing thing in everyday life but after you haven’t had them for a year? You better believe they are amazing.

But I digress, on to this weeks news. Let’s start with Trey news as there was a few things this week. Trey has announced an Orchestra Tour with three dates in Feb and one in March spread across the country. He’s also  recording a new solo album with the members of TAB and has noted he will be “taking a whole new direction” for this album, whatever that means. The TWoL crew is divided on whether or not this will be a good album. Personally I think it will work out in the end but only time will tell.

Moving along to Phish news, Watkins Glen track official Ryan Lake has announced that the venue will focus on racing events for 2012 so no return for a festival this year. While not shocking that Phish is not playing there again so soon, it doesn’t mean they won’t return in the future. The majority of TWoL attend Superball so we’re really hoping for a return sometime in the future. In our last bit of Phish news we would like to point out the many after-shows for each night of the MSG run. If you managed not to wook-out at the main event we hope to see you late night!

Even though it’s nearly winter there is still some festival news this week. All Good has announced they will move from their WV location to Legend Valley in Ohio. Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake) has hosted many amazing bands, festivals, and concerts over the years. In a period where most festivals only last a short time TWoL gives kudos to All Good for 16 years of jamband love.

As of right now Jam Cruise 10 takes off in 39 days and if you don’t have your tickets well you’re pretty screwed cause it’s sold out. But…not to fret! Jam Cruise 11 prebooking starts Dec 1st so you can always go next time!

We received a few voicemails this week, thanks to all who took the time to leave one. Don’t forget the number is 419-NO-WOOKS program it in your phone!

Thank you to everyone that supports us and we’ll see you next week on lot!

Episode 94: A Canadian, A Chick, and a Wife-Beater

Listen to Episode 94

This week on lot, the podcast moved into the future and used our video capabilities during the show.  Much to our dismay, this means we learned that Nick’s lucky show attire is a “wife-beater.”  An American choice for sure, but now I have that image forever burned into my brain.

Excitingly, we also had a special guest this week:  Andrew (aka “the Canadian”) from Glow Stick Wars!  For those of you who have been living under a rock, Glow Stick Wars has one Phish NYE ticket that they are giving away.  Check out the contest rules here.  Andrew also weighed on more general issues surrounding glow sticks, including the plan to have a Pre-Show Glow Stick War on the 28th as the boys hit the stage and the debate over the environmental side effects of glow stick wars.

Moving right along to Steve’s favorite topic:  Jamcruise.  The schedule is up!  Check out the themes, special events, activities, workshops and more.

YEMSG after parties are being announced almost daily at this point but make sure to check out Dog Gone Blog’s after party with Superhuman Happiness at the Cakeshop on December 30th.

In Umphrey’s news, the band announced a string of 2012 tour dates across the country for February and March as well as a sUMmer school event in August.  This camping event, aimed at aspiring musicians, will feature workshops with the band as well as performances by them.

Surrender to the Flow will be hosting Phish Yoga in NYC this Thursday, November 17th.  Get your mind and body right for YEMSG for just $20.

Rounding out the episode we learned that all our hosts have been lame for the last few weeks but you guys have not.  Thanks as always for the great voicemails!  Remember kids, the number is 419.NO.WOOKS.  Keep us posted!

‘Til next week, peace!

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!

Special Report: Stuck on the Porch (The Phish, Starr Hill, and Chew Toys Episode)

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.

Listen to Editorial: Phish PPV

As most of you are probably aware of at this time, Phish will be providing a Pay Per View experience for their sold out shows at MSG on 12/30, 12/31, and 1/1. This privilege will cost the viewer $15/$20 per night, or $40 for the bundle of all 3 nights. There has been a lot of chatter the past few days, some for, some against the PPV. Despite being on hiatus this week, hosts of both shows, This Week on Lot and Type II Cast, felt the need to discuss for a few minutes.

The panel this week includes Steve and Nick form TWoL, and Tanya and Eric from Type II.

What are your thoughts on the PPV?

TWoL 55: TWoL After Dark

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.

TWoL 12: Don’t Let Carini Get Ya

Brahs and Sisbrahs! 4 out of 5 Naked Guys agree, This Week on Lot Phall Tour wrap up is just about as exciting as hugging Trey.

It’s over, kids. Phish Fall Tour came and went and in it’s wake, it left a few balloons and a half eaten container of ganja icing. To recap the three amazing nights at the legendary Madison Square Garden, we’re joined by our contest winner Chris! He celebrated his 20th Phish show in style by walking into MSG with his buddy and their free tickets…right past Steve and Laura who has their fingers in the air. We all discuss the scene outside of MSG this year, making comparisons to NYE 2002 and pointing out that non-heads really have no idea what to make of it when Phans invade their sidewalks. Maybe all the business men are just thankful the nitrous tanks came back!

We ponder the question of whether MSG really has a lot. Does a “lot” need to have cars? Or can it just be a bunch of heads standing around waiting for a show to start? The hosts are divided on our opinions, so what do you think?

After the break, we follow the lines going South to Charlottesville. The snow let up just in time for everyone to arrive at JPJ and rage the lot proper. There was a healthy shakedown with some of our favorite vendors, including our good friend Jiggs. He was selling his “A Laser Pointer Doesn’t Make You Chris Kuroda” stickers…right across the way from a guy with a laser pointer. You can support Jiggs and his insanely truthy sticker by buying one and slapping it directly on Green Laser Pointer Guy’s forehead next time you see him.

After a quick ticket price check on Miami Phish NYE, we actually talk about another band! Wow! Steve and Laura are heading down to check out Further this weekend and are thrilled to see another lot. We’re looking for lot reports from those shows and are hoping to make some ticket money with the mobile wine bar. If you’ve been to a Further show this tour, let us know what you think!

Thanks to Chris for joining us on this episode of This Week on Lot! We’re glad to hear that he had a great time at MSG and we hope to hear from him again as he rages more lots in the future.

Be Good!

P.S. Make sure you listen to the very end.
