I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way
Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is
Don’t tread on me. Come hear Uncle John’s Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide
It’s the same story the crow told me;
It’s the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
* Third pin in seasons series
Each pin is engraved with its # in the edition and TRiPP’s signature, has double pins on the back (so the pin doesn’t spin). All orders are shipped via USPS First Class mail with tracking. All orders of both a pin and poster are shipped via USPS Priority Mail with tracking.
A cool idea for artists to take part in courtesy of Dylan from Boston:
“Hey Phans! My names Dylan from Boston Mass. I had this idea to make a Summer 2012 Compilation and in the end make physical CD’s to hand out on tour FOR FREE! For this project, I need artists to help me design a completely original, Phishy piece of art that can be used as an Album cover for this compilation (more detail on this can be found in this thread on Phish.Net)
The rules are: NO use of any official Phish logo. NO use of the word Phish or any likeness of band members. Just make it completely your own original piece that includes “Summer Tour 2012″ on it somewhere. For the love of Phish, and FREE MUSIC! Help us make this possible, thanks a lot everyone!”
The deadline for submissions is May 31st. Send submissions or questions to Lethal.i (at) live.com

Having attended the four Strangefolk Reunion shows at the end of March in NYC, Burlington and Portland, I saw alot of fan made and official shirts worn by fans. With 12 years gone by since the last original lineup show, a lot of these shirts were taken from the attic, boxes or otherwise unearthed to be worn at the shows. Below is a gallery of those shirts. Thanks to Justin for sharing his online gallery – check out some old school Strangefolk shirts here
If you know when any of these shirts were printed, please leave a comment with an estimated time-frame of when the shirt was made or sold at shows. If you have a shirt that isnt featured here, contact Pete – phanart AT gmail – and share your shirt, adding to the Strangefolk Fanart record.
