PHISH COMPANION PHOTO CONTEST WINNERS!

Hey Phish fans! It's me, The Book! Phish takes the stage at LOCKN' this weekend—with a free stream! Psyched? You bet I am! The kind folks who created me at The Mockingbird Foundation and phish.net ran a photo contest to celebrate my birth. Imagine, fans taking pictures of little ol' me! I'm only a little more than two months old, and already it feels like I've been everywhere!

What a summer it has been already! When you think summer—aside from Phish tour—you think the beach! My favorite beach visit this summer was to Morocco! Check out this shot of me from @YomeNetSan, who won third place in the contest! #ReadTheBook! It will save your life!

My parents ran the contest, and they said there can be only three winners. That made me sad, because everyone who gets a copy of me is a winner! When you liberate me from my warehouse in Minnesota, we form a lifelong bond... I'll never let you down! I'm super friendly, especially with pets!

We all love pets, but sometimes what I really need is... good lovin'! You'll remember my good friend Elayne and how much fun we had at the top of Mount Harvard! Oooh la la!

As awesome as that was, I'm still young, and sometimes I like to spread the love!

Anyway, back to the contest. I LOVE to get high! Our second place winner, Michael Lockett, took me to the summit of Lone Peak! Thanks, Michael!

Another one of my favorite summer trips was to The Gorge! So sick!

The highlight of my Gorge trip was definitely meeting my godfather... Trey!

That one was hard to top... but, did I mention my trip to Rio for the Olympics? Love the beach volleyball! Your Phish Companion 3rd Edition photo contest winner is... Patrick Flynn!

Congrats, Patrick, for the gold medal winning performance!

The love that Phish fans have shown me has been nothing short of amazing. But the thing is, some of you... aren't getting the message. And it's pissing us off!

But there is... a book. Me! Read it! Read the fucking book! It will save your life!

Thanks for fondling me! Maybe we'll see each other at Dick's! Don't call it a comeback! xoxo

johnnyd I am shocked that being w00k'd out around a SPAC campfire the morning after was not exotic enough make the cut. Shocked, I say!

Some really nice pictures here !

But most importantly, read the book(s) !! I've read several ones this summer and took more pictures. See here : http://www.bouncingaroundeuroom.eu/post/2016/08/28/Read-the-book(s).aspx

Thank you for the great write-up in your blog!

I also liked the "process piece" on taking pictures for the contest.
