YEMSG pins from Jiggs and PhanArt

On 12/4/09 at MSG during the jam in YEM I shot off a quick text to Jiggs. It was brief and read YEMSG!!! The seed was planted, Jiggs went to design it and we made some stickers that you might have gotten anywhere since Miami. Now, you can get a permanent version in pin form. We are pleased to announce the YEMSG pin. This 1.25″ pin will be a simple black against polished silver. There are two posts, mounted vertically, and the back is numbered (1-100) and stamped with the Jiggs design logo. The posts feature the black rubber clutches, rather than the classic ones pictured. There will only be 100 produced. The pin is in production and is expected to ship to me at the end of the week (10/14). The pins are being offered both here and through Jiggs. If you are a collector, numbers 1-50 will be available at Jiggs Lot, numbers 51-100 will be available here at PhanArt.

these pins are SOLD OUT!

Tube shirts from Jiggs

From Jiggs:

It’s been 2 years since these were available. The Tube design was one of the first shirts I made, and they were never available on the blog. These are now available in short sleeve, long sleeve, and hoodies in a brand new color.

For this run, the design will be printed on a beautiful Indigo Blue. The short sleeve mens are Gildan 100% cotton (style 2000), ladies shirts are Gildan 100% cotton, junior cut (ladies substitute the color SKY) (style 64000L), the long sleeves are Gildan 100% cotton (style 2400), and the hoodies are Gildan 50/50 blend (style 18500). Tall sizes will substitute Sport Grey.

The print is a 3 color front – red, white and grey on indigo blue. The back print is grey and reads “A portrait of your past”. This is a limited run, so get your orders in now. Pre-orders will close on Sunday, October 16th. As with all Jiggs pre-orders, the shirts and hoodies will be available roughly 10 days after the order period ends. I will keep everyone updated on any delays.

Announcing the PhanArt ‘Read the Fucking Book’ Club

Phish is a band that has generated a great deal of press over the years, with reviews in papers in the towns the band and their fans travel to, as well as articles in magazines and dozens of websites and blogs dedicated to The Phish from Vermont. Over time, the band’s history and fans have led to a number of books about Phish. When asked this summer by a non-Phish fan how many books were written about Phish, I couldn’t come up with an answer and the idea for a Book Club of sorts was born. Not a Book Club where we all sit down and have tea or something and discuss books, but an online Book Club where fans can find out about Phish books, read them and share their thoughts online with other fans. An interactive web-based Book Club with nothing but suggestions of books to read given and opinions shared when the books are read.
As a teacher, I felt this would also help to promote literacy, always a good thing at any age or level of education.  Over the next few weeks, we will be bringing you The ‘Read the Fucking Book’ Club. There is no cost to join. In fact, you are already a member just by reading this. Welcome to the club! There will be a page here on PhanArt.net that has all the Phish books written over the years. Click on a book and read a review by one of our primary reviewers and places where you can buy each book. Fans will be able to share their reviews of the books in the comments section of each page and discuss the finer points of Phish Lit.
Included in the ‘Read the Fucking Book’ Club will be:
The Phish Companion (volumes 1 and 2) by The Mockingbird Foundation
The Pharmers Almanac (volumes 1 through 6) by Bernstein, Steele, Chasnoff, Celentano, et.al
PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish by Pete Mason
The Diary of Bobby Steiner: Tour Tales from the New Millenium by William Traveler
Mr. Miner’s Phish Thoughts by David Calarco (coming this holiday season)
The Melody of Motion: Following Phish and Widespread Panic by Carl Cole
Run Like an Antelope: On the Road with Phish by Sean Gibbon
PhanFood: From the Kitchen Pot to the Parking Lot by Taraleigh Weathers and Pete Mason
Mike’s Corner: Daunting Literary Snippets from Phish’s Bassist by Mike Gordon
Phish: The Biography by Parke Puterbaugh
The Phish Book by Richard Gehr
Go Phish by Dave Thompson
The Phishing Manual by Dean Budnick
Stay tuned for the launch of the ‘Read the Fucking Book’ Club in early October few weeks. include authors and where to buy each one. If you are interested in submitting a review of any of these books (that you may have previously read), please email Pete at phanart (at) gmail
