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.
So, how great was the demand? There were 140 posters, 2 each, 70 people minimum could buy. More if folks only bought one. Are you saying 100's or thousands of people crashed the server? Port Merchandise is no rookie, but they could not anticipate demand and set up servers properly? That's odd? There must be a Service Level Agreement .Net has in place if they are a vendor. They should be aware of the size of drops and be prepared or financially liable if they cannot meet expectations, no? I work in Finance, I know how it works. Demand was not anticipated (no clue how, given how hyped you and A.J. made it) or the vendor can't handle a simple poster drop? Something is not adding up? If they are no rookie, how come some people cracked their codes yesterday?
