WE GOT OUR PHISH TICKETS!!!!!

THANK GOD my dad and tim's dad entered the lottery for us!!! tim and i got nothing but tim;s dad got the gorge tickets and mine got red rocks. IT COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am the happiest girl in the world right now!!!! we are facing a good 2 weeks driving around this beautiful country, going to AMAZING shows and dancing to the most inspirational music out there. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: Phish pre-sale lottery results will be in TODAY!

and i am freaking out!! please oh please oh please let us get the tickets we want! of course, if we dont get them we can always try for the public sale starting this thursday but that's even more stressful than this is!! these shows are going to sell out in a nanosecond and my summer happiness depends on them!! also, if we get the presale tickets they are much cooler than normal ticketmaster tickets. they have sweet art on them and all that jazz. adds to the collection :) i just love tim's idea of driving out west and making a vaca out of this, so i hope we luck out. i will update with the results! tim and i both entered the lottery individually and our parents each entered for us too in an effort to boost our chances a little. thanks mom and dad and ump and hum!!! results to come soon......

UPDATE: just saw this post on a phan blog i follow, this guy has alot more experience with me so he has quite a bit more insight into this situation than i do... he def shares my hatred for ticketbastard, brokers, and douchbags who turn around and try to resell tickets at a million times face value. wtf is wrong with those people???

NEW Phish tour dates announced!!!

this is very exciting!! tim and i are trying the presale lottery for red rocks (CO) and the gorge (WA) shows at the beginning of august. everyone cross your fingers for us!! if we dont get any of those then hopefully we can get them when they go on sale to the public, but all our chances are slim. all we can do is try! there are 4 days between each of those runs so we're gonna drive around a bit out west and see some beautiful sights. which tickets we get will determine the course of our trip tho. we might get some, all, or none, you never know. here's all the info:

Videos from the Mothership... Phish, Hampton VA

Oh how I wish i was there.... this first video was posted by some lucky asshole who not only got into the show but scoped out a perfect spot on the floor, dead center. this was a general admission show despite being a venue that seats 13,000 or so. so needless to say i hate this guy. but for those of you who dont know phish this will give you a taste of what they are like.

Did you notice the giant blue orbs hanging above the audience in the video above? they changed color throughout the entire night as they pointed different lights at them (i know this from all the videos i have watched) and durring the song below we see they happen to be giant balloons! they had to be at least 8 or 10 ft in diameter, enormous. They dropped them over the audience durring Bouncing Round the Room and you'll see one even popped over Page (on keys) as he played! What a sight!

Phish Reunion TONIGHT!!!....


...and tomorrow night, and the next day. This is both a happy and sore spot for me as I am THRILLED that Phish are back together but I'm truely bitter that Tim and I missed out on tickets to thier reunion 3-night run at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. Why oh why did they have to choose a venue that only seats like 13,000??? Add to that the fact that they sold the tickets in 3-night packages and they unsurprisingly sold out in about 5 seconds. literally. At least we have tickets to some of their summer tour shows: we'll to see them at Deer Creek this summer (outside Indianapolis) and at Bonnaroo!! Ugg but I want to be there tonight! The scene must be amazing outside the Mothership as we speak. I am checking up on it thru the Phish blog I follow but all that's accomplishing is massive bouts of jealousy. Just think about the summer.... just think about the summer....

Penn and Teller get Hippies to sign a Petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide....as in H2O

I find it hard to beleive that NO ONE asked what Dihydrogen Monoxide is lol! I'd like to think if someone came up to me at Bonnaroo with a random petition I would ask for the full story before signing. But while this does make a good point, I think it would have been made better on the streets of new york or something, where there's a broader demographic walking by. It's not completely fair to trick environmental fair-goers with a misleading environmental petition. It would be safe for anyone there to assume that any petition going around would be legit since that goes along with the theme of the whole event. Just sayin. BUT this is still funny all the same :)

Colbert takes us back to 1997 LOL!

This will never get old... SO cool.
