TWoL 102: Major Hard-on for This Week on Lot

Listen to Episode 102

Happy Phish tour announcement week kids!!  It’s the most wonderful time of the year besides, well, tour itself.

But first, a big congrats to TWoLer Stuart White, winner of our Aura Music Festival ticket giveaway.  Stuart won a pair of tickets to this festie, being held down in FL March 9-11.  Remember to follow TWoL on Facebook and Twitter and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming ticket giveaways and you could be our next big winner.

As I’m sure all of you heard, Phish summer tour leg 1 was announced in typical Phishy fashion yesterday, on Leap Day, with a hilarious and only slightly disturbing video detailing Fishman’s pre-tour training regimen.   The tour includes stops at many of Phish’s favorite stomping grounds like Deer Creek, Alpine Valley, SPAC and Jones Beach.  There is also some kind of mini-festival stop in Atlantic City (don’t forget your Maltese Falcon).  You can request tickets through PTBM until Monday, March 12th.  Listen along as we discuss each stop, the flow of the tour in general and TWoL’s plans for the summer.

Also in this episode we discuss Ticketmaster’s new iOS app, released just in time for Phish on-sales.  In more ticket news, Bonnaroo and Phil Lesh had some major ticket debacles in the last few weeks.  And in festival news we talked about the All Good and Mountain Jam lineups.

And of course, we heard your voicemails.  Including perhaps the most epically crude voicemail that TWoL has ever received.  Don’t miss this one!  And don’t forget to call in and profess your love to us (or to just leave a plain old fashioned lot report) at 419.NO.WOOKS.

Finally, tune into the Gametapes Forum tonight.  Join in to listen to and discuss 7.10.00 set II.

Good luck on your ticket requests and let the countdown to summer tour officially begin:  98 days ’til Worcester!

TWoL 63: Dust off your tent

Listen to Episode 63

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!

If Bisco Inferno wasn’t enough untz and electronica for you then make sure you check out The Governors Ball Music Festival.

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!

We’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 45: Kamikaze Bunnies!

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!

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!

episode 37

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

And the winner is . . .

TWoL 29: Spring Cleaning…

Nick is on hiatus this week, but Steve and Emilie kill it with the first ever TWoL live video stream episode packed full of rumors, updates, and voicemails – oh my!

Phish in Vegas is the big rumor this week with dates being October 14-16, fitting well with the Austin City Limits rumor of the weekend before. This also flows well with the possibility of Phish heading back to Indio for Fest9 again this Halloween.

Also in Phish news, earlier today they recorded their take on a Rolling Stone’s: Exile on Mainstreet song for the Jimmy Fallon show that airs tonight. We’re all waiting patiently to see what they’ll play!

Then the spring cleaning begins and we bring you all the latest TWoL updates including links to “kick down some donations brah“, sponsorship opportunities, CID – Alpine Valley Travel Package contest, our Jambase page which tracks all the shows we are going to, and last but certainly not least our new Facebook page!  Become a fan today and we’ll love you forever.

Lastly we listen to some great voicemails and all get a good laugh. Again, thank you to everyone who calls in with reports – keep the drunk dials coming! It’s also not too late to partake in our poll from last week, let us know if you danced (or didn’t dance) at Phish3D.

Next week the band will be back together.
