TWoL 57: Mustard is Better!
Listen to Episode 57 [audio http://thisweekonlot.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/twol57.mp3]
This week we have a very special guest, Adam from Phish.net. For anyone has been living on the moon Phish.net is basically the one stop for all things Phish related. They've been collaborating data, setlists, and all around Phish related things since before the internet was the cool.
For those who didn't know (myself included) they have been working together with The Mockingbird Foundation for years to gather and host official setlist information. There is no other site that has a more complete and accurate record of setlists. In fact David "ZZYZX" Steinberg uses Phish.net as his source for his stats.
For all of you iPhone, iPad, and iTouch users out there, make sure to check out some apps that are available, 3 of which work with Phish.net. There's Helping Friendly App available for $2, iTour (which is free), Phanatic available for $2, and iDIDN'T KNOW Phish Games for $2. So no matter if you're trying to find a hotel near the venue, find out the last time something was played, or just mess around and play games you can have everything you need for $6. Unfortunately these apps aren't available for Android...yet. If there's an Android programmer out there, please contact Phish.net staff as they would be interesting and starting a conversation.
A lot of people worked (and still work) to make Phish.net great. Take a look at this link to see the list of contributors.
So after we wrapped up our chat with Adam about the history of Phish.net and all the great apps that are available we had some tour talk to announce. Trey Tour 2011 has been announced with presale already complete. Looks like Trey is taking a quick tour from east to west with tour only lasting a few weeks. Mike Gordon also announced his Spring 2011 tour. Funny enough he starts tour the day Trey ends and only a few hours away...hmmm...can you say bus hand-off? Maybe so and maybe not.
Lastly we wrap up by listening to a few of your voicemails and reading an email we received. Thank you to everyone for your lot updates, make sure to keep them coming! The number is 419-NO-WOOKS, program it in your phone people! We can't be everywhere at once.
Thank you again for all your support, we'll see you next week on lot!
