TWoL 66: I'm back bitches!
Listen to Episode 66 [audio http://thisweekonlot.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/twol66.mp3]
Well just as the title suggests our own resident Noob Laura is back as a guest cohost this week. Along with Toonces (aka Steve T.) Laura will be rotating as a cohost. Welcome back Laura!
The first order of business tonight on the TWoL agenda was the cryptic tweets that Watkins Glen president Mr. Michael Printup. Starting last Friday morning (March 18th) Michael sent out a tweet saying "I think I am going phishing this weekend" he sent proceeded to send out a few more cryptic tweets hinting out the announcement of the long rumored Phish festival. On Sunday night he crushed many a phans hopes and dreams when he tweeted that his "surprise" announcement may be delayed.
Well Mr. Printup TWoL would like to offer you an invitation and some advice. The invitation is to come on our show and explain your comments and choice to tease the phans. The advice is to NOT do it again, it's killing us. But seriously in all good fun we would love to have you on the show anytime before or during the festival that we all know is eventually going to be announced.
The only hangup to the festival seems to be found in an article our buddy Scotty from Yemblog posted. The basis of the article states that there is no permit from Schuyler County, county officials say an application hasn't been filed yet. Hopefully this will happen soon and we can all stop going nuts over the rumors.
Got your tickets for Mayan Holidaze? Good because if you don't you're most likely screwed. This exotic musical adventure works on the token system and if you haven't gone in the past your only option is to get on the waiting list and pray. Steve found that out the hard way, you'll have to listen to the episode to get the full details.
The Jam in the 'Dam initial lineup has been announced, there's no indication yet whether more bands are added. Our reaction so far has been meh. We like all the bands playing but for that much money it's hard to justify jetting across the pond for a 3 day trip. If you can afford it go for it, to each their own!
Just a reminder early bird tickets for Camp Bisco X have sold out! VIP tickets and Platinum VIP tickets are still available. Check out tickets here and peep the first round of artists here. I think we were so excited about Camp in general, we didn't go over all the artists (oops).
In other festival related news, Vevo is going to be offering streaming to your mobile device from Bonnaroo for select shows. This offers the question of do I want to be at my laptop or phone if I can't make it to Bonnaroo, the answer is you can be at both!
As always we go through voicemails, thank you to everyone who left us a voicmail, keep them coming!
Thank you everyone who gives us support, we'll see you next week on lot hopefully with an official Watkins Glen announcement to discuss!
