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.
1. I have seen, as of late, most of the Texas shows (Austin 2015 included,) and his mentioning of the crows size last night was on point. Would there be a larger crowd if they booked it in Dallas? I think they know their market, and they, according to last years banter, enjoy playing at this venue. I had plenty of space to dance, and being a Monday night, the staunch phans were pleasant.
2. The criticism of "Maze" being overlooked is correct. Rob does a perfect job describing the beauty and eccentricity of Wolfman's, but the true energy balance was the incendiary Maze coupled with the spacy IAWTW. Yes, it's not mindfucking Type II, but it's experimental, it's new, and sometimes new can be tough to take.
on a postscript, I've been a fan of Rob's writing for a long time, and I hope that, one day, he writes a book on Phish.
