(I know way OT for a Jeep forum, but what the he!! :) )

Seems like the Mockingbird Foundation is gonna try and bribe the guys back together....

Great idea as long as they feel motivated in the music.

I believe Trey is under some kind of house arrest for the pill pop awhile back so it would have to be after that.

I was a heavy Phish follower from 95-00 then they seemed to lose their way and so did I....

I have really, REALLY been enjoying Trey's solos stuff. Mike and Page's also, but not as much as TAB.

anyway from an email I just received from the Mockingbird foundation...

We heard a lot of chatter over the Summer about Phish possibly getting back
together again next year for some shows. Although we don't know when (or
whether) Phish will ever perform again, The Mockingbird Foundation has
decided to create a PHISH REUNION FUND to help raise additional support for
music education through a collective expression of anticipation and hope. We
hope you will donate-- in ANY amount -- to get the Fund going!

The Phish Reunion Fund will be maintained in an interest-bearing account,
separate from other Foundation assets, and will be distributed for the
benefit of music education for children programs (in accordance with the
Foundation's guidelines and mission) after whichever of the following events
occurs first: (1) it is announced that PHISH will perform a one or more
complete public shows as an entire band; (2) the Foundation announces, for
whatever reason, that it is dissolving; or (3) [heavens forbid!] a band
member dies, in which case the reunion fund will become a Memorial Fund in
honor of the life of the deceased.

In an effort to help get the PHISH REUNION FUND started, Foundation Board
member Charlie Dirksen will once again be marathoning for Mockingbird. He
will run the Lake Tahoe half-marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday, September
29, and he will match up to the first $500 (!) in donations to the Phish
Reunion Fund. If you decide to donate, please include your "snail" mail
(postal) address and note that you are donating to the Fund.

We want to emphasize that ANY AMOUNT will help, even a buck or two. Small
donations add up and make a very real difference. As you probably know,
unfortunately, music education programs are getting cut by schools
nationwide. Such programs increasingly depend on grants from 501(c)(3)
non-profit organizations like the Foundation in order to operate at all.
Your support has made a difference in the past and will make a difference in
the future. Please help the Foundation create a PHISH REUNION FUND that
will help inspire the band to get back together and tour!

If you wish to donate, your donation will be fully tax-deductible. You may
donate by mail or online, including by credit card, through our web page. We
appreciate your support, and hope that someday perhaps we'll see you at a
show!

Sincerely,

THE MOCKINGBIRD FOUNDATION
