   On My New York Civil Practice exam the professor included the names
  of students in the situations contained in the exam.

     Yours truly was piloting the "PHISH BLIMP" in which people were
   served summonses over various states and we had to decide which
   summonses were properly served!

   I think this was because I wore my Phish hat to class a few days and
  the professor noticed it and commented whereupon some of my buddies
  in the back of the room shouted "Yeah, PHISH!" making everyone but
  the geek nerds laugh.  Hence the PHISH Blimp in the hypo.

     By the way, you can serve process in a blimp while flying over
   New York state.

      We are slowly gaining recognition!!!!!.....

"Tom Ze", Brazilian singer-songwriter (latest project :  The Hips of
Tradition):  "I've made some new instruments using household appliances
like floor waxers, blenders and *vacuum cleaners*.  I don't want to
speculate on whether they can be mass produced, but I hope I can
domesticate the appliances and teach them rhythm."

Although Fishman has one step up on this guy (having discovered the
way to domesticate the vacuum first); Fishman has yet to begin 
domestication on his other household appliances!  (or has he?)

Marc Rouleau is the one who generously provides his time and expertise
in maintaining the digestifier.  I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure
that the rec.music.phish <=> phish@fuggles.acc.virginia.edu gateway functions
as an all or nothing proposition, due (1) to the software involved and 
(2) for philosophical reasons -- once you start screening certain articles
out, who decides what's appropriate?  And couldn't such screening constitute
censorship?

My personal opinion on this is that, from the number of posts complaining
about ticket and tape grovels, it has become clear that due to the volume
involved it is no longer considerate to post such articles to the net.
Tape trees are of course an exception -- well, they're not really grovels
in any way to begin with.  But for an individual to post to the entire net
asking for one particular tape?  I think it's happening way too often.  On
the other hand, if you've got something else interesting to post about and
decide to include a line at the end mentioning a tape you're looking for,
well, that seems reasonable...I think the distinction is whether you have
something to offer to others (thoughts, knowledge, information) in your
posts, or whether you're just using the net to try to get what you want
from other people.  Think about it.  If the net becomes nothing more than
a huge collection of tape and ticket grovels, it will cease to exist for
all intents and purposes, because who has any interest in interacting with
that sort of a community?

My advice is that we try to focus less on using the net as a source to
fulfill our material needs (tapes and tickets), and more as a source
of inspiration where we can share our thoughts and stories.

"...ask not what your .net can do for you, but what you can do for 
your .net"!

Caught my first Phish show at a little movie theatre of an auditorium
here in Madtown, WI.
 
All I can say is WOW!
 
I'd heard several tapes of the band, and was duely impressed,
but nothing prepared me for the shear energy and intensisty of
the live show.
 
I showed up early, got a parking spot right accross the street so
I could sit in the car with a tape (Anaconda Theatre, 4-16-92)
going so I could keep an eye on the line.  Got an isle seat right
up front and settled in listening to the Jazz and Larie Anderson
on the PA till the show started.
 
From the opener (Mike's song?) on I was blown away in a surrender to
the flow of dancing, spinning, smiling joy of the next two hours.
The second set opener stobe light and fog effects were increddible!
Probabally never forget it.  And the double encore ending with Hendrix'
Fire was a nice jesture to a warm crowd.
 
As I said, i was impressed, I have already talked to the tapers so
this isn't a grovel, but if anyone would like to drop me a line
about the show feel free to do so by email.  I'll probabally get on
the digest sometime next month after x-mas and finals, but until then
Peace,

Trey and I talked on the phone today about the electronic addresses at
fuggles for individual/private email to the band members.  As we all know
well, they are very interested in peoples' comments and observations, and
an effort is made to answer as much mail as possible.  

However, perhaps because it is so much easier and more convenient to send
email than it is to compose a letter with pen and paper and mail it, a
very large volume of mail has collected in their email boxes in a very 
short time.  Rather than leave people with false expectations, we thought
it best to designate their email boxes as unidirectional communication.
In other words, if you have a comment or observation that you want to share
with them, feel free to send it to one of the electronic addresses, and it
will be transmitted to them, but please do not anticipate a response.
Paper mail, on the other hand, will continue to be treated the same as
always (which I think means that some, though not necessarily all, of it
is answered).

I just bought Junta a few days ago and was listening to You Enjoy Myself.  
However, I could not understand what they were singing?  Does anyone know,
and has this been discussed before on the .net?

Okay, all joking aside.  As far as tape grovels go, the word "grovel" itself
will give you less of a chane of getting a tape.  It implies a pathetic,
humiliating, begging image.  When I started building my collection, I would
post with, for example, "4/18/92 tape request" in the subject line.  That
would automatically specify what the post was about, so people with that
tape who were willing to help me out noticed it, and others didn't.  In fact,
I even got people writing to me asking for copies of the copies I was hoping
to get!

In the body of a tape "request," as I prefer to call them, I would ask if
anybody could "do me a favor" by making a copy of this show for me.  Make
the person feel like they're doing a nice thing for you, don't just ask
if they have the tape.

This is my first post, so I will try to keep it short (Just

So this is the deal:  I am just now starting work on a paper
that will be presented at the 5th annual Far West, and
American Culture Associations conference. I have tenativly
entitled the paper "Something Phishy in Popular Music", and
I plan on focussing on the literary and mythological aspects
of Gamehenge.  As far as I know Phish is the only band who
has taken music in this direction.

Here is where you come in...I could use other peoples' ideas
about Gamehenge.  I know, for instance that David Steinberg
believes that all Phish songs are Gamehenge songs (Hello 
Dave, we met in a rest stop is Virginia =)  Any Ideas any
of you have about Gamehenge would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I would like some background on the band...musical
training, scholastic background, etc..

Also, I could not reach the person who was interested in
starting a magazine...could you please email me?

Do people really think that Phish's version of Touch Me is actually good?  I
think that the band is good naturedly mocking other artists with all the covers
that Fishman sings (Touch Me, Whipping Post, Lively Up Yourself- they even 
apologize for this one 4/21/92, and even the Syd Barrett stuff).  You can't
possibly think that they are taking any of that stuff seriously.  To pront, go listen to a Whipping Post from before '90 when Trey still played guitar
and you'll hear the difference.  Some are nearly 25-30 minutes long.  People
would never stand for that in its current arrangement!

|    This statement is largely false. Sorry but tape grovels *do* work.

I apologise for not being clear.  My comment was in reference to the current
tour -- since it seems that most of the grovelling has been done by folks
new to phish and the phish.net scene asking for tapes from this tour.  I
have about 35-40 tapes of my own, and have easy access to 20+ more (from
Rich).  I'm always willing to trade or help out someone new!  

Tapes spread by diffusion, which is a rather slow process -- hell, even
trees can take months!  There are VERY FEW folks on the phish.net who have
tapes from the current tour -- and they are mostly the tapers.  The other
ones just offer to trade for tapes from this tour, which is understandable.
Grovelling for current-tour tapes is likely to be pointless, IMNSHO, except
for the fact that it shows a demand.  

There seem to be an ever increasing number of folks that just saw their
first show and MUST GET A TAPE.  I understand it's tough to build a
collection when you don't have anything to trade.  I've been going through
this with my DAT colleciton.  I got most of my tapes from a generous person
(Hi Mitch!) who had a pile of duplicates, and I got them by paying attention
to the DAT-heads net.  Others have come through generosity and trades, as
well as my own taping efforts.  I posted one grovel and got nothing.  I
posted one trade offer and got nearly a DOZEN responses!  That's my
experience with grovelling -- it don't work!  Maybe I just don't grovel
right...  ;-)

So grovellers: be patient, relax, don't worry, have a homebrew, and enjoy
the tour 'cause when it's over we'll grow a forest!!!

Yesterday was my sisters 16th birthday. For an early birthday present, I
took her to the show on the 5th here in Chicago, and she didn't really get
it ("why do they sing those little songs without instruments? I don't like
the vacuum") When she went back to school, she was envied by her classmates
just because she got to go, which I found a little curious since her trendy
friendies are not really into Phish (RE: hate the music).
 
Last night she had a little party thrown for her in our house. One of her
friends approached me and asked about Phish, and the "fan club"
(newsletter). She said she wanted "one of those baseball caps with the fish
on it". No kidding, I said. "Yea, everyone cool at school has one. I've
gotta get one. Will you get me one?" Drop dead, I thought. Sure, I said. As
I sat upstairs, away from the get-together, I pondered the new trend at the
local high school. All of my music was downstairs with them, these new Phish
Phans, and of my 30 live hours, Junta, PON, and my old LB tape, they played
the Spin Doctors at least four times, and nothing else. May this new trend
die a quick yet very painful death: may it become a serious fasion flaw to
wear Phish caps.
 
                      May God forgive me for assisting the trend,

Yes, you can post .gifs or .jpgs (graphics files) to newsgroups, and you can
send them through e-mail.  Computers have 2 basic types of files.  Text and
binary.  You all know what text is (your reading it).  Binary is everything
else.  Newsgroup posts and e-mail messages can only be text.  However, it is
possible to use a program, such as uuencode, to convert a binary file to text.
It will look like gibberish, but it can be posted.  You can easily save the
message and uudecoded it to recreate the binary file.  There are several
newsgroups dedicated to posting pictures (alt.binaries.pictures.misc is one),
and the faq for these groups (one faq covers them all) can give great
instructions on the procedure for doing it, whether your on a mac, PC, sun,
whatever.


>Unless I'm mistaken,

Yes, certainly the pictures could be distributed through ftp.  It's easier
than posting to newsgroups, but not everyone has ftp access.  If you have
an internet account, you ought to learn ftp, it's one of the 'features' of
the net.  You can get shitloads of free stuff from ftp sites.  Games, software,
information, song lyrics (there is an EXTREMLY large database of lyrics on
ftp.uwp.edu in /pub/music/lyrics - everything but phish)
