I Can't Describe the Feeling When...

Most of us know what it's like to score Lottery tickets. Some of us even remember the feeling of scoring Phish Tickets By Mail (PTBM) after you decorated your envelope and had the request carefully prepared and mailed out. Getting your tickets back in the mail is always a good feeling. Then, there's the feeling of anticipation when driving to the show, and of course the feeling you get right when the lights go down.

Another feeling a lot of us can relate to is getting shut out. This happened to many during the Hampton runs in 02 and 09. Having the time, money and willingness to get the tickets didn't matter...there were not enough to go around. And that was that.

Perhaps more heartbreaking than getting shut out, is sitting one out. Whatever the reason, you know you can't go. There have been countless shows where this has applied to me. However, this is the first time in my years of being a fan that I will ever have to sit out a run knowing that almost every friend I know will be there. It's truly a bittersweet feeling knowing that I will not be there to share in the fun, but I wish the best shows possible for those folks. I know everyone going is deserving of a good time. Enjoy those Charleston shows, folks...they are bound to get down.

This year I will watch Fall Tour unfold from the couch and hope there's a Holiday Run announcement. Though, that is beginning to look less likely.

Even so, I have a lot in 2010 to be thankful for.

Whalecaller Pre-Order has Ended

No more Whalecallers are available for pre-order. If you missed this round, be watching the blog for the Whalecallers stickers due to arrive very soon. I'm sorry I cannot offer these for free as many have requested. They are 1 for $3 and 2 for $5 with free shipping.

Whalecallers Pre-Order (Part 2)

You spoke, and I listened.

The popular Hartford Whalecaller design is back up for pre-order. There have been so many requests for this item that I had to make it available one more time. This pre-order will only be up for a limited time. No more orders will be taken after August 27th, 2010. Please read carefully before placing your order.

The design is printed on a 100% cotton Gildan Ultra. For information on the shirts I use and sizing, please click here. The shirt color is Metro Blue and the design is a three color front print. If for some reason Metro Blue is not available, Navy Blue will be used instead. I will not print these on custom garments, but I will have ladies and hoodies available for pre-order. After pre-order closes (8-27) the shirts will be ordered, printed, and shipped to me. This could take a couple of weeks, so your shirt may not arrive until mid September. I constantly update the blog and twitter to keep folks updated on the order status.

To reserve your shirt now, click here.
Pre-Order is closed.
