Ok, kids…we’re back and we’re in the midst of Phall Ter! What better time to join us on lot?
We’re joined by our very special ginger friend Kat. She’s here to share all her great stories about the Work Exchange Program at Fest8 and who she got to meet before the festival began.
With some more current Phish lot news, we turn to Steve and Kat who were holding it down in Syracuse on Sunday night. Great lot, great vibe, great Mexican Grilled Cheese. Listen to hear what Steve rates this lot…although since when do we have a rating system? “This lot gets 6 out of 10 Brahs.”
Nick, Steve, Laura, and Kat discuss fluctuating ticket prices along tour and how phans all live by different moral codes when it comes to paying face or not. Is it a shady move to try to profit off tickets? Would you buy from someone on lot even if the show isn’t sold out? Tell us your Ticket Moral Code!
After the break, which features our great sponsor, Olker’s Wine Bar: Supporting his Phish Habit Since Syracuse, we have a little bit of news for you! The Bridge, an up and coming (not really…) jam band from Baltimore is playing free shows every Monday in December in NYC. Also, free beer and vodka. Nick is right when he laments “Well, if that’s not an open invitation to wooks…!”
Last but not least, we have a winner!! Listen to the podcast to hear if you won the MSG ticket give away. Thanks to everyone that entered.
Now…who has MSG tickets for Kat and Laura? We’ll wear glitter and fairy wings!
As we gear up to hit as many lots as possible on Phish Fall Tour, we’re coming at you with some random news from across the jam band scenes.
We just can’t seem to shake Fest 8, it’s haunting us like any good Halloween show should! Hidden Track published Best Costumes at Festival 8 and we just cannot disagree with the profoundly impeccable taste of one Mr. Scott Bernstein. Be sure to check out #6 and put some faces to the voices you hear every week!
In other Phish news, we have the most recent ticket prices for shows on Fall tour. From the absurdly cheap ($10?!?!) to the not so absurdly cheap, ticket prices are looking much different as Phish 3.0 rolls on.
We here at This Week on Lot are all about expanding our musical horizons. We’re always happy to hear new bands and pass the good ones your way. This week, we have the band Must Stash Hat for you to sample and explore. Check ‘em out!
As if Umphrey’s McGee didn’t have enough members in their band, their 3 day run at the Higher Ground in Burlington showcased 4 guest musicians. The most prominent guest, Mr. Micheal Gordon of the Phish from Vermont, sat in for a 16+ minute jam at his alleged favorite venue.
Update: Our friend and yours, Willie Pritts of the Church of Universal Love and Music is officially shut down in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Granted, we didn’t get the name of the establishment right in the podcast (we’re tired and Steve’s drinking vodka…give us a break!), we LOVE this place and wish Mr. Pritts the best of luck in finding a new venue for his congregation.
And last but not least, we need to start making our NYE plans. Will we have TWoL: Fiji? TWoL: Miami? TWoL: NYC? Well, we don’t have $4200 each so there goes Fiji. But maybe if we start saving now….?
Don’t forget to enter our MSG Phish ticket giveaway! We’ll see you on lot!
Sponsor for this this week is PhanArt.net. Be sure to stop by and tell them we sent you.
Our “Musical Shout Out” this week was Must Stash Hat. Check em out, they are from Canada, friend.
As we’ve made mention in the past couple of episodes we’re giving away 2 tickets to the Phish MSG show on Friday December 4th in NYC. We just wanted to say thank you to all of our listeners and we appreciate your support! To find out details of the contest you’ll need to listen to our mini episode.
Thank you again everyone for the support and good luck to you all!
We’re back from Fest8 and we’re all suffering in one way or another. Nick has no internet, Laura has wookflu, and Steve is encountering lot withdrawal. But we’re coming at you with a Wook Monday mini-episode to lift our spirits!
Laura and Steve discuss the most h3tty job posting ever and speculate as to whether archiving Phish would be anything like archiving the Grateful Dead. Either way, Steve would like to take this opportunity to discuss his qualifications for this position and why he’ll make a great addition to the UC Santa Cruz team. References available upon request.
We got a ton of emails from Fest 8 and we rocket through them in this episode. Everything from coherent wook reports to some really thoughtful and constructive criticism of the podcast.
Be sure to tune in for episode 9, when we will announce the contest for our Phish MSG ticket giveaway (2 tix to Friday’s show).
Friend us on Foursquare. Your hosts will be checking in at the shows they hit, and leaving tips at venues, hotels, and more. Foursquare is a great way to see what's happening in any given location, and we got you guys covered on the Jamband scene.
Keeping with the times of 2007, we decided to add a Facebook fan page. Keep up to date with all of our happenings: episodes, photos, live stream, links, etc.

Wanna know what shows your fearless hosts are gonna be at? Check out TWoL on Jambase. We will keep it updated with any shows we are gonna be ragin'. And make sure to friend us while you are at it.
Contact Info
Leave us a voicemail with stories from the lot, questions, comments, drunk dials, it's all good. We love voicemails, and this a great way to share your story with the audience. We can't be everywhere, so you have to let us know what is happening out there. Hit us up at:

We are working hard here at TWoL to provide our listeners with the best podcast experience possible. In the near future, we would like to start doing live reports from the Lot.

Sponsor
This Week on Lot is available for episode sponsorship from any website, agency, or group that would prove relevant to our listeners. Feel free to contact us for more information.
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.
