TWoL 97: Emilie's Pink Jingle Balls
New Years is right around on the corner and another year of TWoL is nearly under our belts. Thank you so much to those that have supported us and continue to support us, we appreciate you one and all!
This weeks' episode we recap the upcoming New Years shows, specifically the Phish MSG run. So far there have been multiple rereleases of tickets for the sold out shows and unlike previous rerelease the announcements for them came from the official Phish twitter account. What does this mean? Is the Phish organization holding back more tickets for rereleases to prevent scalping? Did they simply hold back too many tickets on accident? All we know for sure is that more tickets are getting into fans hands and staying out of the scalpers and that's a good thing.
The next few weeks full TWoL episodes will be on hiatus as we attend the Phish MSG shows, Disco Biscuits, and Jam Cruise. That doesn't mean there won't be updates though. We plan on tweeting from all shows and releasing special update reports so make sure to keep it locked on the TWoL twitter account, iTunes subscriptions, and the TWoL blog.
Make sure to leave us your lot reports from all the NYE shows you attend, we'll play all of them once we get back to a full episode mid January. Hope everyone has a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Xmas, and Crazy Kwanza! We'll see you in a few weeks!

Episode 93: And Nick just saw this video...
Listen to Episode 93 [audio http://thisweekonlot.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/episode93.mp3]
Had a few technical difficulties this week and started a little late, thanks to those that waited in the chat room. This week we talk Roger Waters, Phish, and Toonces' pink flamingo.
Roger Waters has announced that we will bring the Pink Floyd classic The Wall to the United States as part of his world tour. He will be hitting west coast and east coast alike so if you have a chance to see this we highly recommend it. Also tickets go on sale Nov 14th and will most likely sell out very quickly.
Now for your weekly dose of Phish news! The long awaited Hampton 97 Box Set is on presale right now, hit up Phish Dry Goods to preorder. Trey talks about his upcoming musical that will debut California next year. Mr. Miner will be having a book signing in NYC for the Phish New Years Run. Last but not least Nick gives a rant about how there's no need to freak out about getting shut out for Phish tickets 10 minutes after the onsale.
In non Phish news, The Disco Biscuits are releasing an oldie but goodie show from Princeton in 2000. This show is a fan favorite and even if you aren't a fan of Bisco this show might change your mind.
We received a lot of great voicemails this week, thank you to everyone who took the time. The number is 419-NO-WOOKS for those who don't know!
Thank you again everyone for the support, we'll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 91: Nothing but the preshow!
This week Steve decided to pull a fast one the rest of the TWoL crew and record the preshow. Things were going to plan until the rest of the crew knew the jig was up but alas it was still a good episode. Nick talks about Furthur and the crusty wooks that come along with their traveling circus, Steve needs a ticket to TAB tomorrow, Emilie is going to some bands no one has ever heard of, and Katie...well Katie is having a birthday next Tuesday. We also talked about the Phish NYE 2012 MSG announcement, pretty much every member of TWoL will be there.
We received several voicemails, a few from some new callers, thank you to everyone who left a message! We'll see everyone next week on lot!

TWoL 88: Ginger Coventry
Listen to Episode 88 [audio http://thisweekonlot.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/twol881.mp3]
There once was a band that quit then came back then quit then...well you get the picture. Sadly this is also a podcast that is having the same thing happen. Our own Noob Laura is calling it "quits" again, until the next time she comes back. The over/under on her return is 2 months. I'm personally going with the under, I don't think she can stay away.
Firs thing on the agenda is an abandoned ginger seal. This poor bastard was left by his family in Russia. This has nothing to do with jambands other than I personally think it look a little bit like Trey from Phish. Just look at his eyes, looks like he is ready to bust out ASIHTOS at any moment.
Like jello shots? If so here's 10 jello shot versions that are sure to turn heads if you sell them on lot. The best thing is that you will completely price the riff-raff and wooks out with these fancy versions.
Steve and Laura are planning on hitting up the Stir Fry Music Festival in PA next weekend. If you're in the area it's a good festival to check out before it gets too cold!
Don't forget to leave us voicemails about what's going in your lot! 419-NO-WOOKS is the number, make sure to program it in your phone.
Thank you to everyone who supports us, we'll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 66: I'm back bitches!
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!

TWoL 59: The Search for Jared's Wedding Band
We have several guests this week and a fully packed episode!
Our first guest is Johnny from BandsThatJam.com. Johnny is one of the writers for their website and was kind enough to come on the show to discuss a recent blog that caused some controversy. BandsThatJam.com made an announcement on their website that was nearly confirming the festival and offering up very specific details. Unnamed sources close to BTJ claim that a contract has been signed and the festival will be held the weekend of July 4th. They go on to state that tickets will be $200 and include 8 sets of music starting on Friday and ending on Sunday. Johnny goes into more details about their decision to post the confirmation of the festival before Phish.com does. You'll have to listen to the podcast for full details.
Next we speak with Steve and Jared from Groupme.com. Groupme.com is a free service that allows multiple users to set up a text group to communicate with each other. It's an amazingly useful service and one that TWoL is excited about. We've used this service twice now, once in Atlantic City for the Phish Halloween run and again in NYC for the New Years Eve run. It's a great way to send a mass text to your crew by texting one number. It's really easy to use if you can text from your phone you can use this service. The Groupme guys are on their way up, they've been involved as a mobile partner for the Austin City Limits festival as well as the Coachella festival. We can't wait to see what they do next!
Rumors! Rumors! Rumors! There's a lot of rumors surrounding the jamband community right now. Most of them are related to Phish and Dave Matthews Band. DMB and Phish are both rumored to be playing a music festival in Atlantic City this summer. Check out a link to the festival announcement here. With the Watkins Glen, NY rumor we covered earlier we're pretty hesitant to say Phish will play but stranger things have happened.
Page and Fishman will be playing a benefit at Higher Ground in Vermont on February 3rd. The benefit is for Pete's Greens, an organic farm that was recent damaged but a fire. Many other Vermont musicians are also rumored to be playing the benefit.
Florida is also getting in on the festival scene with the 15th annual Suwannee Springfest. This festival is packed full of lots of great bluegrass bands. If you're in the area make sure to hit this festival and don't forget to leave us a lot report!
In untz news, The Disco Biscuits have been listed in the lineup for the Ultra Music Festival. This festival includes many different acts, there's something for everyone. For details on the festival and for tickets check out this link.
We received a heads up on this YouTube video poking fun at "Bro's" from one of our listeners. We thought it was pretty funny so here's a link if you want to check it out.
Last but never least we run through voicemails for this week. Thank you to everyone who left us a voicemail! We can't be everywhere at once so make sure when you're out on the scene you let us know what's going on. 419-NO-WOOKS (419-669-6657) is the number program it in your phone.
Thank you again to our guests, Johnny, Steve, and Jared! Thank you also to all of our listeners, we'll see you next week on lot!
