For those interested, I have three (3) extras for Albany.  Send me e-mail 
to 'maggard@subpac.enet.dec.com' -- I'll take the first three requests.

The "Sluggo's Complete Guide to Cornell/Ithaca" is done.  Anybody else going
to the CU/Binghamton shows who wants a copy should e-mail me.  Those who
sent in requests should already have it.

One netiquette point:  Some folks have been posting to the net recently
WITHOUT HITTING HARD LINE FEEDS/RETURNS AT THE END OF EACH LINE.  Please do
not do this... ...as some or all of your post will scroll off the tops of
our screens and people will miss your comments.  Some editors can be 
configured (like SEDT, LSE) to do this automatically.  Others, like the 
standard VAX-VMS mail utility do not, so you have to do it manually.

     Hello phriends, one and all!!!  JUst got my phlippers on Junta,
and YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!  So nice to have a new dose of Phish
in the house.  I haven't had the fortune to hear many of these songs
since pre-Worcester on this past New Years.  It certainly has been
nice listening...  But, alas, I do not possess disc technology, and
would really like the new live portion of Junta on the CD.  And the
pitch... I have some decent hours that I am willing to trade for a
recording of said portion on Junta.  E-mail me, and let's talk turkey.
     Speaking of which, HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!  Hope everyone on the net
has a phantastic time.  I get to go skiing at Grand Targhee in the
majestic Grand Tetons; I guess I'll suffer...(baaaaa, haaaaa,
haaaaaaa, haaaaaaaa!!!!!!)
     At any rate, I made a focused observation while listening to
Junta.  One of the really cool thangs 'bout deees band is the
KEYBOARDS!  Page creates such lyrically wonderful images on the
ivories... I hate to compare, and hopefully I'm really not, but I
can't help but hear "Funeral for a Friend" type Elton John-type-jammy-
gig-deals goin' on in my head.  Any pheedback on this point???
     Well, later pholks.  Have a phreakin' phine day!!!

Hey All,
	So far I've seen nothing about a St. Mike's gathering so here goes.
I know Nectar's is nearby but as I've mentioned to a couple o' people I'll be
partying (as well as our driver) before the show so I thought a safe place for
that would be in the parking lot and thought this might be a good place for a
net gathering (or some other place within walking distance, any St. Mike's 
students out there with a big place willing to let a bunch of netters in outta
the cold?).  I realize the parking lot could cause potential trouble with 
security/police so this is only a suggestion.  Anyone....???

Psyched for full shows!!!!,

Early one morning, myself,Mike Hamad and Dave Carballo left the peaceful
confines of rural Colgate University and drove forty-five minutes north to
slightly less rural Sangertown. As the three of us scooped up the only copies
of Junta at the three different stores in the vicinity (virtually ridding
central New York of any trace of Junta) dreams of sugar plums danced in our
heads. Upon returning to Colgate we calmly placed disc 2 into the player
(waiting only for Mike to relieve himself) and complacently bumped up to
track number 4.Then it began. We patiently endured the adventure that lay befo

re us in the form of Union Federal. All 25 minutes of it kept us hanging on
each note, unable to anticipate the next turn because of the total newness of
the song. It came to an abrupt end leaving us at a loss to describe what had
happenned. Some thoughts: at 17:30 into Union Federal, does anyone out there
get a strange Pink Floyd feel? Maybe set the controls for the heart of the sun?
Mike cited a resemblance to The Doors' The End. Whatever it was, it soon
erupted into a flurry of sonic activity that left our jaws slightly brushing
the cool carpet that lay beneath our feet. I am sure much discussion will
follow and I really don't know what to say anyway. As for Sanity and Icculus,
these are the highlights of the disc. It is very apparent that a state of
cellular dissarry prevailed among the bandmembers. Giggling and some strange
monologues put these songs into a new perspective; one that I had never
anticipated. I will leave ya'll with that but rest assured, phish has given
us a part of them and we will cherish it and nuture it. Peace and happiness
to everyone and may the sounds of Junta resound joyously through your ears
for many ours to come.

If it ever comes to the point where there are no sources of Phish
tapes available to you and you think you should buy one, I personnally
will make you dubs of some of my tapes.  I think its up to the people
with tapes to spread the wealth, and also to instruct the ignorant

Jefferson with a bit more life in it.. But this pizza place has the best pizza 
this side of the county line so that's my suggestion. Used to be called Station 
Pizza & Brew, although I'm not sure if the brew part still stands. This place 
is only a parkinglot, road, rr tracks, and a playing field away from the gym 
where the show will be held. (Gee free parking pholks.. where you can find your

Hey all,
A friend of mine is re-forming his band here in Amherst, MA, and they
are in need of a new drummer capable of playing some serious Phish -
they do Divided Sky, Bowie, etc.  The band is called Hoobis Doobis and
they broke up about a year ago, so some of you might remember them.
Actually, I just met them last week - I was walking by my apartment 
and I heard a jamming David Bowie coming from this house and was amazed
to see it was not a Phish tape as I had assumed, but a live band.  These
guys are really awesome, they're huge Phish fans, and they plan to play
a lot of Phish covers.  So if you know anyone in the area who would be
interested (and who will show up for practice :-) let me know and I'll
pass it along to Tim (the bass player).  I forgot his phone # but I'll 
post it tomorrow so you can just call him directly.  And when these guys
start playing out I'll be sure to post dates.

To anyone who's familiar with r.m.gd and saw this post here:

I shall throw my hat in the ring, as it were, concerning the so-called "identity
" debate.  I find it loathsome and ridiculous that so many Phishheads (and I use
 that term quite deliberately) refuse to come to terms with their Grateful Dead-
inspired inceptions.
Just who the hell are you ignorant blemishes on the American music scene trying
to fool?  Come on.  I've been to many performances by both Phish and the Gratefu
l Dead and, the audiences are, for all intents and purposes, the same.
Argumento, suppose that the followers of Phish were to call themselves "chum," "
glides," or "aphishionados," would not the same filmy dresses adorn their flabby
 limbs, the same vacuous expressions cloud their malformed maws, and the same pu
trid odor emanate from their sweaty and unshaven flanks?  So let's call a spade
a spade and an irksome mass of gyrating and twitching offal a Phishhead.
I'm sorry to be the one to have to burst the bubble on your facade of originalit
y.  In fact, a good alternate name for Phish itself would be "Grateful Dead Redu
x."  It is eons more clever than sophomorically spelling the "f" in "fish" with
a "ph".  So here's to the ubiquitous herd of Grateful Dead-loving ex-prep-school
ers.  To quote Neil Young, "Long may you run, long may you run, with your [unsha

Here are some thoughts on the re-released Junta:

1) The new artwork is great !  Thumbs up to J. Pollack for doing it again,
Can't wait to see the New shirs (8 days til Albany)

2) I am alittle disappointed in the Bonus tracks, considering the variety
   and volume of Phish's repertoire, these 3 tunes certainly do not stand
   out. Where is 'Runaway Jim' or 'Mike's Groove' ? Or even 'Possum?'

3) Has anyone noticed the guitars have been turned down in 'David Bowie'?
   from the original release(which I am lucky enough to have)? Especially
   that mind-blowing solo at the last 2-3 minutes. On the original cassette,
    Trey is just peeling away until hitting a peak that can only be described
   as awesome, but with the new mix, the guitars have been turned down, and the
   effect being to mellow out the whole song a bit. Anyone agree?

4) Love the CD-quality intro to 'Fluffhead' !
5) Overall 'Junta' remains the essential Phish release...

	While it will be nice and idyllic if we could all "revel in our 
diversity," I think that, especially given the tendency of phish's popularity 
to expand exponentially like some recursive virus, we should choose a term 
that we like. It is inevitable that at some point, the general public will 
label us with a certain term. We should choose a term that we like before it's
too late, and Rolling Stone starts calling us "Phisheads" or "Phisherpeople" 
or "Nectarines" or "poop-faces"...While it may seem silly and clan-like to 
label such a loose and undefined group, I think that picking a good term 
would make us all happy in the long run....My first choice would be
aphishianado...but that's so damn long...However, I would roll with laughter
if that 'word' was ever printed in a mainstream newspaper....As a second 
choice ,I think "Phishmonger" is an excellent suggestion...although it does
connonte sort of a sleazy back-alley feeling....like we're trying to pass the
band off as something good when they really aren't...Of course that's not true.

I'm curious as to how many people have been able to get a copy of it. I was a

Actually the store on the first floor, I forget the name but it's got the
