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.
On a personal note, I met for the first time and spent the show with @FunkyCFunkyDo (aka the other Pete on .net -- or maybe I'm the other Pete?). His first show (my fourth) was the last show at The Forum, on Valentine's Day 2003. We share a love of that 2/14/03 Gin and were talking about it before the show. Midway through the first set, after the Sparkle, Sample combination, it occurred to me that we'd get a first set Gin -- I tapped him on the shoulder and told him as much, and in the end we were pleased to have seen both Forum Gins! I agree with pretty much everything in your review, and also picked up Trey's signal to end the Tube Funk, but the one thing I'd emphasize is that the It's Ice shouldn't be overlooked. Awesome work by Page on the clav, and the jam was the most percussive Ice I've ever heard. Enjoy the Chula Vista show, and may you get to see the other Chula Boogie!
