REPORTER SHARIN' IN THE GROOVE AT VT BENEFIT

"A few songs into the first set, a funny thing happened: My pad stayed in my pocket for longer stretches. I put my phone away and stopped sending messages to the newsroom. Deadlines and leads slipped from my mind. I forgot, for a time, I was on assignment. That’s a very unusual thing and a better way to listen to music — and there was some good stuff to hear Wednesday night at the fairgrounds."

Reporter Sally Pollack, from an article in the Burlington Free Press (9/18/11).

GAMEHENDGEPHONICS that is possibly the best description I've seen a reporter give on a phish show.

Dressed_In_Gray Nice quote. Maybe finally getting some good press will help The Phish make it to the big time. :)

Thanks. To be honest I first saw it done with the NY Giants but was pumped when I found Pitt.
