Music and Art Auction to benefit ‘Java’ John Goldacker’s wife Jennifer

Leave a comment

Phans, please take the time to read the letter below from PhanArtist ‘Java’ John Goldacker. Support John and his family as best as you can during this tough time.

A message from ‘Java’ John Goldacker

Hi All.
Some of you may know, many probably have not heard yet…..

My lovely wife Jennifer has been quite ill for about a month and a half now, with what seemed like a horrible eye infection, and some bad stomach issues.
After 2 visits to her Doctor, 3 visits to an Ophthalmologist, one visit to her Oncologist,lots of bloodwork, 1 full body PET scan, and 2 MRIs (with one more coming), it seems like we are finally getting some answers.

It looks like Jen is going to have to undergo probably around six months of chemotherapy (and maybe radiation), again. They’ve located some bone lesions, and a few more possible issues that are probably the cause of her
recent ailments and exhaustion. We hope to have all of the answers by the end of the week.

Being a TWO-TIME cancer survivor, it is nearly impossible for her to get insurance. So, as you can imagine the bills are already stacking up!

I’ve listed some of my Art Prints (mostly ones that are in my Art Show), and some collectible Record Albums on her EBAY account. I’ll be adding more and different stuff from time to time, so please check back. So, if you would like to help out, and get something kool in return, please take a look!

PhanFood: From the Kitchen Pot to the Tour Lot is now available for pre-order!

Leave a comment

Like the band they follow from city to city, Phish fans have their own history of creativity, which in turn follows them wherever they go—even into the kitchen.

Cover art by Cody Schibi

Edited by Taraleigh Weathers (The Healthy Hippie Magazine) and Pete Mason (Phanart: The Art of the Fans of Phish), PhanFood brings together many of the recipes that Phish fans have made and shared over the years. Included are appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, entrées, desserts, drinks (with and without alcohol), and a variety of other concoctions that Phish fans enjoy while they are in the lots, at the site, or just sitting at home waiting for the next tour to be announced.

PhanFood is also a wholly nonprofit endeavor, with all net profits being donated to regional food banks and charities in the cities where Phish plays. A cookbook by Phish fans and for Phish fans (as well as anyone else who likes good, healthy food), PhanFood aims to benefit the Phish community and to give back to the communities Phish fans visit as they follow the band to the next great show!

“A phantastic collection of goodies—baked, fried, and otherwise—ranging from the simple (yeasted popcorn) to the complex (including a few that will test your culinary mettle); organized with delightful connections to Phish songs, shows, and history; and benefiting the hungry, on many levels—a full-course of phun!”     Ellis Godard, Executive Director of the Mockingbird Foundation

Over the course of Summer Tour Leg 1, we ran into artists both new and familiar, young and old. Altogether through the 11 shows PhanArt went to, plus the 42′ and PhanArt Art of the Fans of Phish Poster show on 6/20, 19 prints and other random items were donated to us for future auctions for The Mockingbird Foundation! This was an unreal show of support, especially from artists and fans who make their money on tour selling these items.

Here is a list of who donated what. If you want to buy one, for a donation to The Mockingbird Foundation, contact Pete at phanart at gmail and make an offer on a print. They will go into bundles for auctions later this year, after Jones Beach.

Five pins from Central Part of Town Pins, A PH/SH pin from Noah Phence, and Posters from Franky Scaglione, Bruce Horan, and Branden Otto and Ed Wilson. Check out the gallery to see what the Phish community has generously donated to help raise funds for The Mockingbird Foundation.
