Hey Everybody!

Phish is almost back! They are reuniting in Hampton, VA this
weekend for 3 shows, and we are celebrating this by throwing a show
with The Atmosferics, BuzzUniverse, and Lemon Juice on Thursday, March
5 at The Saint! Greg from BuzzUniverse approached me with a great idea
of 3 bands each playing a Phish song while playing an "Asbury Rising"
Concert Series show at The Saint. I was all for it, and even threw the
challenge back at Greg asking, "What if we get all 3 bands to play at
least 2 Phish songs?" and the idea was really formed. Now, here's the
kicker - I'm going to play a mini-acoustic set of Phish tunes in
between BuzzUniverse and the Atmosferics. I don't play out often, and
when I do I try to make it special...I'll be billed as "Phan" and I'll
try to do my best for you guys...Lemon Juice opens up the night, and
will play at least 2 Phish songs and original material. Then,
BuzzUniverse will take the stage and play at least 2 Phish songs and
original material. Then, "Phan" will play at least 3 Phish songs solo
acoustic, and closing out the night will be our really good friends
The Atmosferics (who will also play at least 2 Phish songs and
original material.) ...so come to The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ this
Thursday for a Pre-Hampton Phish Tribute Show! It's all part of the
weekly "Asbury Rising" Concert Series. It's $7 for those 21+ and $12
for those who are 18 - 20 years old. (We'll let you in on a little
secret, too - The Saint is having mirror scanner lights installed
permanently on the 4th, so this is going to be a hot show visually, as
well!)

From CrazyRedBeard:
"Speaking of Phish…I seem to have worked up a little triptych for the
three nights at Hampton! Each poster is going for $15 for this
pre-sale, $45 for a numbered set. This will be a limited edition
printing, with each poster numbered and signed to commemorate this
historic music event. Posters will sell for more to the general public
(at least $5 above base prices listed above), so you guys are getting
first crack at these posters at a lower price. All posters will be 14
x 20 with a 13.5 x 19 image (small border for matting/framing).
Shipping and handling=$8 for any amount of posters."

And, next weekend is gonna be a blast, too! Kicking things off

and James from Proof Rock, Proud Simon from NYC, and our good friends
Project 222! Then, on Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th
we're back at Paul's Tavern in Lake Como, NJ for our (can you believe
it?!) 5th Annual CABIN FEVER! Friday, Turtle Soup headlines with
special guest The Doug Mikula Band closing out the night after Outside
the Box opens the show and The Attic do a showcase set. Saturday
night, Juggling Suns celebrate the release of their new CD "Zero Zero
Eight" (which was recorded at NYE '07 at the Stone Pony) as the
night's headliners, and Infinite Detour opens the show followed by
Karmic Juggernaut. Keith Kenny showcases in the front room in between
