The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Other comments/observations -
*Alas, I got my ass handed to me every day; it [the house] pays off once in a while, then robs you clean. A slick talking dealer at Harveys claimed to have dealt the band a lot of losing hands in a previous year, so I'm wondering if those tunes weren't chosen with the locale in mind
*The setlist has a conventional structure to it and that's fine early in tour when everything sounds fresh anyway (Pro tip: with the possible exception of Live Bait, don't listen to Phish for 1-2 months before tour)
*Everything's Right is a terrific 1st set type I-1.5 vehicle with good lyrics; one of the highlights of the show IMO
*The Blaze On jam devolved into something Trey started layering over with the echoplex, which made for a nice -> into IAWITW. Given the story above about the sign, it seems like this is something they worked out at setbreak.
*There were few to no mistakes compared to N1, so yes it was tighter.
*I played cards with a old man from Firenze and a couple other phans... he got super excited when I waxed nostalgic about traveling in Italy. I didn't think to mention YEM to him but I'd still like partial credit for the mojo that led to it being played.
