Official Mock Show: EPIC NYE
print by David Welker
If you're heading to Miami for Phish, you won't want to miss Mock Show: EPIC NYE. The huge Phish poster exhibit will take place 10 am to 3 pm on December 30th at Miami’s luxurious EPIC Hotel Hyatt Regency Miami, walking distance from American Airlines Arena.
At the show you'll find the best Phish art from over 30 artists like Jim Pollock, David Welker, Jeff Wood, AJ Masthay, Ryan Kerrigan, Tripp, Bullock, Helton, Horan and more — not to mention an acoustic set from The Heavy Pets.
The event will raise funds for Headcount, and Waterwheel and Mockingbird will have booths as well.
If you want to find the latest updates, buy tickets ($20) or see an exhibitor list, head on over to the Mock Show blog.

MSG: It's Not Just for Chinese Food
For the second-to-last stop on what can only be described as a great 2009 Fall Tour, Phish is back at Madison Square Garden for 3 nights.
If it's anything like the rest of the tour, you can expect solid first sets, a few bust-outs and rarities, an occasional new cover, and some face-melting jams like the tour highlight so far: Seven Below > Ghost from night two in Albany.
I'll be updating this post throughout the week so stop by now and again for the latest setlists, audio and videos of Phish at MSG.
If you're going to the shows, post a comment below with your thoughts. And if not, don't forget to visit PhishTwit for real-time Phish updates, chat, streams and more.

Update: November 17, 2009
Congratulations to winner Jay Young (aka Sprewell) who was selected via random.org's “Third-party Draw Service.” Thanks to all who entered. Hope to see you back here for more contests.
As if the Trey, Mike, and Fishman bobbleheads weren't cool enough, the bobblehead gods have really smiled upon us with this fantastic Page McConnell Series II bobblehead. (see Series I)
The “Chairman of the Boards” bobblehead captures Page singing his heart out — complete with baby grand piano, Clavinet, sharp new shirt, and a facial expression second to none.
Given the level of awesomeness, these Page bobbles might be harder to come by than the others, but read on to learn how you can enter to win one for free right here on Jamtopia.

I love a good Phish poster, and Festival 8 has introduced some choice new prints. Watch the space below for a growing gallery of the best Festival 8 posters, memorabilia, and other nonsense.
Official Jim Pollock Festival 8 Poster
As expected, there were multiple Pollock's last night — a colored print, edition of 1,000 and a red/cyan 3D print that came with 3D glasses, edition of 650.
I line up pretty early for this set but still managed to get shut out due to some combination of line jumpers and mediocre cardio.
And of course, there's already a ton of Festival 8 Pollocks on eBay in the $250 plus range.
Official Jim Pollock Festival 8 Masks
For a $10 donation to WaterWheel you were able to grab your choice of the four Festival 8 Halloween masks shown at left.
Each die-cut mask came with a pair of novelty cardboard glasses in an edition of 1,000 (4,000 total) and 100 uncut sheets are also out there.
David Welker Festival 8 Scratchboard Print
Rift cover artist David Welker has technical chops galore, as seen in the scratchboard Festival 8 dreamscape above. It's been pointed out that the top of the eight evokes a phallus duel, but if you can overlook that it's one hell of a print.
There are no solid plans for how this will be released just yet.
EIGHT by Ryan Kerrigan
Usually a poster artist, Ryan Kerrigan stepped it up for Indio with a set of 8 hand-painted 8 balls.
The first six sold out pretty much immediately at $88.88 a pop. The remaining pair of balls are being auctioned off with 8.8% of the proceeds going to Mockingbird and another 8.8% going to phishposters.com. Ball 7 Auction | Ball 8 Auction

Amid the excitement of the Phish Halloween Album Teaser, this morning Phish announced Fall Tour dates with another custom animation video, but not until after dates leaked on Ticketmaster and LiveNation.
The dates include stops in Detroit, Cincy, Syracuse (Fish's home town), Philly, Albany, Portland, NYC and Charlottesville.
The band will miss the opportunity to play one last show at the Spectrum, but 9,000 lucky fans will get a chance to see the Phish at Cumberland County Civic Center where they tend to melt serious face.
