Excuse my ignorance, but someone mentioned someone wearing a Phish hat
in a magazine picture, and I was wondering whether this meant like
a basecall cap with a Phish design, or some kind of special hat
associated with the band (a big fish shaped hat would be pretty
cool, huh ;-). If it's the former, are they available, like say 
through Matt (Lawrence) or something? It rains a lot here and I
could use some head gear (maybe a big fish would be appropriate).

I think I need to clarify this a little bit -- these addresses are offered
so that if you want to write a note to someone you won't need to deal with
such outmoded items as paper, stamps, etc., but beyond the method of sending
your communication, it won't be treated any differently than regular paper
mail...as the band is not actively on-line but only receives information
from the net as offprints.  Therefore, at least at this time, there is no
way that they would be sending any replies by email.  If you want to make
it possible for your note to be answered, you'll need to include a postal
address.  Again, though, let me strongly reiterate the following: 

>Of course, I can't promise responses, but be assured that the mail will indeed 
>be delivered to them.  

If they ever get truly, actively on-line I'm sure we'll all be among the
first to know; but it hasn't happened...yet.

I thought that the Totonto show was a great show musically, but
the one thing that I reaaly didn't like, was the fact that there
was nowhere in the whole place to go to dance without bumping
into someone.  I like to have a little more room, even if it means
going to the back of the place and not seeing the ba unobstructed.
Also I found some of the personel at the Spectrum very rude.  My
friends adn I were called 'loser Americans' many times, because
ticketmaster told us to pick up our tickets at the door.  The
woman made a big scene and really started the night out bad.
Well, enough of that, I read a few digests back, that someone
was going to post a bitmap of the logo for the opening screen of
windows.  I would like to know when that may happen, my account is
going to expire soon, and a
oops... I am very interested in getting it.

Actually it is called Flight Of The Cosmic Hippo. UFO TOFU (palindrome, the
song is too) is also excellent, a little more upbeat. Bela Fleck was in
other bands before the Flecktones got together, too. They opened for the
Dead last New Years... what a great show! Quite an excellent group of
musicians... some the best banjo, bass, and harmonica players around,a nd
all in one group. In fact, they were playing from 'Hippo as the pre-show
music at the Madison (my first!) Phish concert Tuesday. Man, what a fog
machine Phish have... even the balcony was engulfed.

Yeah, I'll probably go see 'em again if they come in town 8^)

	The image that just jumped out a grabbed me (. . . stroked me,
cooed & called me lover . . .) when I first heard this song was this;
If one shuffles off the mortal coil when one dies, then the squirming
coil is what does the shuffling. That is, the squirming coil is that
spirit, life or whatever that continues or transforms to seed a new
cycle when old forms decay or die. recall that the earthly setting for
this epic is on the beach at sunset. The very end of the day cycle - of
'course I live on the left coast, and so the beach & sunset are equated
to me with that magical space when the day is brooding over its
existence & the night comes whispering in .
	The devil, as King of this World, is landlocked at the edge of
the continent trying to grasp and hold existence into one form - to own
it. BUT, the squirming coils , IT GOT AWAAAAAAAY, IT GOT AWAY! Now a new
day may dawn after returning to that creative ground which is the
night. 
	We all know what a breath of musical fresh air Phish represent.
Fun, creativity, and spirit.

	You should realize that these ramblings come from a mind twisted
by mathematics & music. I am not claiming that this is what this passage
of the song "means". I just like stories.

well, jeff, i think you probably annoyed a lot of people with your ticket

think people would rather see a one line message politely asking for a ticket, 
than someone claiming in a 10,000 word essay that their life depended on it; 
fwiw, i got a ticket to the fall '91 sommerville show thru a polite grovel, so 
i certainly won't tell anyone else not to grovel; esp. since that show 
contained the most kick-ass weekapaug groove i've ever heard

sorry, but i disagree here too; trees usually get run of recent shows; if

i will agree with you on that one

the net is here to serve us all; each one of us probably has our own view of 
what we would and would not like to see on the net, so it's pointless to try 
to police this and force some people's views upon others; other than inane 
threads like the "Fuck you all" crap we had going a while ago, i don't think 
it's possible or proper to define what is "right" for the net

   I think that the inside jokes and personal things that the band does are 
the only things that will save us all from this crazy surge of popularity.  
I talked to one person who went to a phish show and felt like "i was caught 
in a giant private joke, and was the only one who didn't know what was 
going on"  this made the person feel very uncomfortable.  If people like 
phish, but can't dig the concert scene, well go buy all the albums and 
listen to them on the radio.  
   I have seen how the concerts have changed some, mostly because of all 
the new people, but if you dig it, cool; if not, too bad.  I don't think that 
the band should change their style to appeal to the MASSES....and i hope 
they never do!!!!

Let me put my two cents in about the correct answer to the YEM lyrics debate:

THERE IS NONE!!!!

The lyrics to this song have changed so many times that I'm convinced that
all of the following are or were at one time correct interpretations:

Wash your feets, they drive me to frenzy
Wash your feet, say, drive me to Firenze
Wash your feets, then drive me to Firenze
Wash-a Uffitze, drive me to Firenze
and
Wash your feet then drive me to Burlington  (well, I've never run across this
one but somebody posted it before).

Anyway, I think this explanation is in the FAQ or the lyrics file somewhere, so
if you get confused again, check these sources.

Hey Net-heads,

              I think that when I started this picture grovel that I
wasn't thinking I would get so many responses...but when I come to
think of it, finding a good picture of the band is a lot harder than 
even finding some way top secret show taped on super DAT or whatever.
People out there are really into getting these pictures! Since my
last post on this subject I keep getting more and more people wanting
me to post the grovel now because they are leaving school soon for break
and don't want to miss out. Well, I'm sorry to say that I can't do that
because this is my finals week and I just don't have the time. Things
are going to have to stay the way they are...meaning if I have you down
on either list by the time the OFFICIAL DRE PICTURE DESCRIPTION is 
posted, you are going to be getting the goods after break. I guess
if people still want them then I might do another grovel thing but
grovels are starting to be seen in a negative light by some of the netters.
(I personally think it's fine to ask for something you want, though
once again I agree with Shelly in that JUST posting a grovel without
saying anything else is kinda dumb!)

|Anyhow, I will once again try to expalin this whole thing in a short and
 precise manner...

1.Email me directly if you want to part of the grovel stating whether
  you want to trade tapes or pay with money for the pics. (I have yet
  to work out how many pics is deserving of a tape, maybe you guys
  can help me with that)

2.A few days before I leave I will post the OFFICIAL DRE PICTURE DESCRIPTION
  which is exactly what you think so that the people in the grovel will
  have an idea (and a choice) of the pics they want and don't want. I will
  keep this post as short as possible for all of you out there that hate
  me more and more every time you see my name in the digest. ;-)

3.RIGHT BEFORE I go home (Dec. 19,20,21,22-one of these days) I will post
the OFFICIAL DRE PICTURE GROVel which will be a list of who's getting
what and what that person is trading with me and maybe some more important
info. I promise to keep that short too! :-) After that keep an eye out in 
your mailboxes for the goodies and I will be back on the net around Jan.20

                                        Once again another long post,
                                                                    dre (sorry)

I assume you're referring to the line from "My Sweet One"

Howdy,
  Sorry, but I feel like being nit-picky today. The song is called Bold As
Love not Axis: Bold As Love. The album is titled "Axis: Bold As Love". Being
a major Hendrix fan I felt the need to point this out. I'm very pleased that
Phish seems to be honoring Jimi, rather than mocking him as they are know to
do. That's all for now.
