Phish News
----------
     "The dates on this newsletter are for the first month of a North
American tour that will continue into early May.  The next newsletter will be
mailed in late January and will hopefully contain the remainder of the tour. 
Our new album for Elektra, Rift, is being shipped to stores on Jan. 29th and
should be available by Feb. 3rd.  Tentative tour plans beyond May include
another trip to Europe from late June to mid July and a US headline tour in
August and early September featuring selected outdoor venues throughout the
country.  After that, we'll probably spend the fall working on another album
for 1994.
     "Tickets, etc.:  As our fan base grows, we are faced with new problems
that don't have easy solutions.  A number of shows this fall sold out very
quickly, and with these sell-outs came a number of unfortunate situations. 
Tickets for several shows were available at high prices through `ticket
brokers'.  Purchasing tickets from these agencies will only fuel them to
drive the prices up and try to get more tickets the next time we play in the
area.  The only way to eliminate this problem is to refrain from purchasing
tickets from them.  If is a supply and demand situation and if they feel
there is no demand, they won't bother with us.  Linked to the brokers problem
is the issue of counterfeit tickets.  Counterfeit tickets have been
discovered at several shows, often being sold right outside the venues. 
These tickets may appear to be good imitations, but most ticket takers can
easily distinguish between real and fake tickets.  We urge you not to
purchase tickets from anywhere or anyone except from an authorized ticket
outlet.  If you do so, you will be contributing to a growing problem that
casts an ugly light on an otherwise positive situation.  If we all cooperate
now, we can nip this problem in the bud before it gets out of hand.  We are
currently looking into alternative ticketing situations (mail order, etc...)
to help make tickets more available to fans.
     "If your address changes (or if you're not yet on the mailing list)
please write us at: Phish, 57 Harvard Street #2, Waltham, MA  02154 and
notify us of your (new) address.  Please send all address changes on
postcards as a way to save paper."

ps.  I'm looking for a place to live in the Boston area -- if you know of
a room in a house for rent or have any other ideas, I'd love to hear from
you.  I'd also like to find a ride from Boston to the Roseland shows (& back).
Thanks!  and happy new year! :-)
