Phish on Twitter: Page Promises It’ll All Be Worth It

I've been on Twitter for a while now, but never really use it much and certainly never thought to see if the boys from Phish were on there. Well today someone pointed me to Page McConnell on Twitter and boy am I glad they did.

As if I weren't psyched enough for Hampton, his most recent Tweet amped it up to 11…

Page_McConnell is absolutely amazed, exhausted and exhilarated, but it'll all be worth it! We promise

Sweet action. A personal sentiment from the Chairman plus a promise that Hampton won't suck, all in about 85 characters.

Update (February 26, 2009, 7:30am) Oh snap. A comment from Scotty B has me questioning the authenticity of this Twitter account, but either way it got me kinda pumped so I'm leaving it up here.

Update (February 26, 2009, 4:00pm) Well the super-sleuths at Hidden Track have officially debunked Page's Twitter account as being fake, confirmed by Phish’s publicist in a post brilliantly subtitled “Fake It Leo.”

Now back to the original post…

And it's not just (fake) Page blazing the Twitter trail. You can also follow Phish on Twitter (see postscript below) and Mike Gordon on Twitter too. And someone's also tweeting (albeit very infrequently) as Trey Anastasio on Twitter, but I've got a feeling it's not the real McCoy.

That leaves Fishman.

But when I searched for Jon Fishman on Twitter I got bubkus, so I went ahead and signed him up. Hey Henrietta, if you're out there and you want your name back just shoot me an email. It's yours for the asking.

P.S. To whom it may concern at Red Light… feel free to use Twitter as more than just a minimalist press release feed. See Jimmy Eat World's innovative use of Twitter for inspiration.
