TWoL 49: WARNING!

Listen to Episode_49


We may be a day late this week but we’re definitely not a dollar short, no wooks here! After the incredible weekend in Atlantic City we needed an extra night off to recoup so this weeks episode is coming to you on Wednesday. Steve managed to put out a really good episode of type ii though, you can check that out here.

First and foremost we run through our Atlantic City experiences. Mainly what we thought of the city, the Boardwalk, and the venue. We vary slightly in opinions on the level of shadiness but all around we agreed it’s probably not the town you want to raise kids in. You’ll have to take a listen to find out if we just how shady things got.

The TWoL crew setup a text messaging service through GroupMe and we have to say it’s the only way we’re communicating at shows from now on. Groupme is basically a free service where you can create a “group” of phone numbers and every time you text it goes to all phone numbers in the group. It was a lifesaver and helped us all quickly stay in touch, awesome service!

After the Phish AC shows ended TWoL hooked up with Relix magazine and Marc Brownstein for a HeadCount prank where Marc called up some friends and reminded them to vote. While this isn’t a TWoL episode, Steve did run the streaming for this, you can check out a video clip here.

We received a shit ton of voicemails over the weekend. Thank you to everyone who left us lot reports. We received reports from Phish, Hulaween, Leftover Salmon, and 311. In fact we received so many messages that we didn’t have time to sort through them to pick the winners of the Touropoly sets. We wanted to make sure we are fair and only choose someone who isn’t associated with TWoL.  We will randomly select the winners and be in touch with this week so make sure you answer your phones people!

Thanks again everybody and we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 48: GTL – Gym > Tanning > Lot

Listen to Episode 48


Phish Fall Tour 2010 is in full swing and so are the setlists and lot scenes! Utica seems to be the hit show so far but as I’m typing this the Manchester setlist is rolling in and it sounds like we might have a new leader.

Everyone is getting pumped up for the Halloween weekend and the TWoL crew is no exception. All 3 of us will be at the AC run and we plan on throwing down with the best of ‘em! Of course… come to our meet-up.

Steve managed to hit up a few shows this tour, some tickets were tougher than you would think. Our advice for Phish 3.0 Fall Tour = if it’s a weekend show make sure you get a ticket ahead of time. Oh and whatever you do take care of your shoes.

In non Phish news, unfortunately moe. had to cancel their October 30th show due to some personal family issues. We wish them all the best and hope everything turns out ok. They have rescheduled the show for December 4th. For more details on the announcement check this link out.

We received a TON of voicemails this week and we played every single one on this episode. Thank you for everyone who left one, keep them coming! Don’t forget we will randomly select a few people who leave voicemails to win a copy of Touropoly! Thank you again to Touropoly for being this months sponsor!

We appreciate all of our fans, thank you for your support! We’ll see you this weekend in AC!

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!
