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.
If you click on my username you will see that I've contributed lots of recaps to this site. If you peruse a few of them, I think you will find that I consistently call them like I see them, and that I more often than not take a "0s and 1s" approach, in contrast with the meta take here. I mean, you can glean as much from the first paragraph of my recap. I specifically told you before I indulged that I was begging your indulgence.
I did it because it felt like the right approach. A different approach to describe a different sort of show. I had something inside of me I felt the community might appreciate more than my description of the 0s and 1s. By and large it seems like it worked for most people, but I certainly don't expect it to work for everyone, so I'm cool with your criticism.
[However, I will say that if you find yourself sickened with this recap, you may want to avoid PT.]
Cheers and have a great 2014.
