As we promised several months ago, this is the second installment of a contest to win a pair of tickets to Mike's Friday January 29th show at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, courtesy of the promoter, Goldenvoice.
Like the first, perhaps too easy contest which was quickly solved and might have had too many clues within the question, the question is about Mike's non-musical artistic endeavors, this time, about the opening reception of a gallery exhibition of colored acrylic scupltures Mike did in collaboration with his mother who is an artist and sculptor. Here are the questions, answer in the comments below, first correct answer wins (or closest if no totally correct answers in the decision of the judges):
1. Explain what is going on here.
2. Approximately when (month, year) and where (place) was this photo taken?
3. What eponymous artwork related to Phish is Mike's mother also known for?

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.

3. She is responsible for the creation of the "Minkin backdrops" that were used on stage in 1994
Pretty good clues for someone who lives on the West Coast and can actually use the tickets (they are comp tickets so it isn't really possible to give them away for face).
Your answers, or googling skills, were good enough though that our panel of judges does want to give you a consolation prize, a limited edition variant A.J. Masthay poster for The Phisn Companion 3d Ed. of equal or greater value than the Mike face tickets, so PM me with your mailing address. Congrats!!
Now, someone who can actually use the Mike tickets (this is required), can you give us a TOTALLY correct answer. Bid hint: CadillacRainbows nailed #1, but #2 is totally wrong and #3 isn't totally right.
Good luck!
So...can anyone who absolutely can and will use the tickets give us the correct answer to #2? Another hint tomorrow if someone can't.
I live in LA!!
PM me your address and enjoy the show! The tickets will be on their way to you overnight on Monday. Please let me know whether you are in an area that requires a signature for delivery or whether that can be waived.
Thanks for playing everyone.
