Hump Day Happenings

After putting in my request for Phish summer tour tickets last night, I headed out to Piece where I enjoyed a Dark-n-Curvy Dunkelweizen and some pizza. I am really excited for the Experience Hendrix show tomorrow night at the Chicago Theatre. Here is some news and a video to help you get over the hump day known as Wednesday.

Finally, props to Sirius XM Radio for their coverage of Phish's Festival 8. Their feed was unbelievably clear and except for them cutting out "Driver" during the acoustic set, I would say it was a huge success. I would have preferred to be at the festival, but at the same time, sipping on a cold beer and listening to the shows from the comfort of my couch was pretty awesome. I will have a full recap of the weekend coming in the next few days.
