Glowstickwars.com: Helping phans create live art since 2010

You can’t have a good Phish show without a good glow stick war, and you can’t have a good glow stick war without glow sticks. A void has been filled: GlowStickWars.com is here and they have glow stick deals for you.

Well, not really glow sticks as in those heavyarmy-surplus store kind. Rather the little skinny ones that don’t hurt when they come whizzing out of the air. They also form glow rings, which have made for many a nice trail to catch flying through the air mid set. GSW has created their own brand of concert-friendly glow sticks, called Show Sticks. And the packaging even features a sick shot taken by a fan during a war at Festy 8.

GlowStickWars.com comes to fans PhanArt Recommended and PhanArtApproved, because they contribute to the making of LIVE ART by the fans at Phish shows, a type of performance art that is fleeting and if you miss it, it’s gone.

You can stock up on Show Sticks by clicking on the Buy Now button below.  For $5.99 you get a tube of 100 Show Sticks: Thin, 8″ Concert-Friendly Glow Sticks with 100 Bracelet Connectors; Show Sticks are non-toxic and non-flammable. This is a pre-sale offer, and all products will be delivered by the first week of June.

A portion of ALL proceeds is donated to The Mockingbird Foundation.

Indoor Lot at the OnCenter Before 11/22 Syracuse Show – Free for Vendors and Phans!

syracuse-orange-mascotOtto Owns Phish Lot, rumored to sit in with Phish

Some very intelligent folks who rune the OnCenter Complex in Syracuse have come up with a great idea: an indoor lot scene that is free for phans to take part in, selling their lot goods inside, away from the cold Syracuse winter (it comes early, trust me)

Inside the OnCenter from 9am-730pm will be vendors such as SoundGarden (Cuse’s own great record store), Henna tattoo Artists, Massage Therapist, Tarot Card readers, (beer) Belly Dancers (10 heady points if you know that song reference) and many book vendors.

Fans can vend too!  This is your pre-show too!  It is FREE for you to take part! So if you have something to sell, whether it be clothing, art, or something else. PhanArt will be there selling the book, shirts, stickers and posters, as well as displaying some of the latest fan-art from 8! To register, all you need is to contact Michelle at the OnCenter at 315-435-8000 to register and you are in! No Cost! No Fee! No Fee? Maybe a Fee during the Phish show, that would be heady. Been since 7/29/03 since I caught one.

But I digress…..

Phish fans can come to the OnCenter, check out the scene inside, and listen to some local bands, including The Lost Marbles, Soul Risin‘, and Dark Hollow (on stage from 2-6pm – this will be an AWESOME pre-show)

It’s gonna be cold, cold, cold, cold in the ‘cuse, so take advantage of this indoor, warm environment to sell your wares and make some money for tour!

Note: Glass vendors- sorry, no dice on this. I checked with them and they just aren’t cool like that. Sorry, but they just wouldn’t say yes.

Beyond the glass thing, this is a PhanArt Recommended, PhanArt Approved event! (PRPA)

News link from syracuse.com:

SYRACUSE, NY – Onondaga County’s Oncenter will host a free Pre-Phish Party prior to the Nov. 22 Phish concert at the War Memorial Arena.
The party will be inside the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center, next door to the War Memorial, starting at 9 a.m. It will last until the start of the show starts at 7:30 p.m, Oncenter officials said in a press release.

The goal is to create a place for these fans to hang out and escape the weather prior to the show. “We want to show the community and the promoters that we care and we’re willing to go the extra mile to make fans truly have an experience when they come to an event at our facilities,” said Mike Spaulding, director of ticketing and event bookings for Oncenter.

Admission is free and entertainment includes live music from local bands, vendors and contests. One Pre-Phish Party attendee will win a pair of tickets to the see the sold-out concert.

Local bands will play starting at 11 a.m. Food, beer and other items will be available.

Oncenter officials urged those planning to attend the party to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

Steve Rogers: PhanArtist

Steve Rogers has made some great posters for 8.  He printed these digitally on 80 lb card stock, the first run was of 30, but sold so fast he printed another 30. They came out great, with a solid Halloween look and 1/4 inch white oarder outline. The total run is going to be of 100, then thats all folks!

Festival8 Poster SRDesignINK

Steve will also be making posters for the upcoming Syracuse show, as it is a hometown show for him, and a college-hometown for PhanArt Pete. The Syracuse edition of posters will be limited to 94, in honor of the last time they played in Syracuse 11/4/94 – can you believe it will have been 15 years?  It is also Steve’s 50th show and the site of his 1st. Make sure to buy him a beer if you see him.

This poster is available on Steve’s website – steverogersdesigns.com

The Indio poster is $21.20 with tax and shipping – you can get it at his store: shop.STEVEROGERSDESIGNS.COM

If you prefer to use paypal, the address for Steve is srdesignink@gmail.com

About the artists: Steve Rogers graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and became a freelance designer. He has always been a fan of music and the art that goes with it. When he first saw a Pollock print he was hooked, and soon after he was following artists like AJ Masthay, and he became inspired to setup a website and make art that other fans would want to collect. His studio,  SRDesignINK is the result of that inspiration.  Steve puts it best by saying: “The music is more than a show and the fans outside are more than an experience. When I go to these shows with my friends they are memories I will always have, and the posters are visual memories of great times”

Well put

Phamily shirts – the one and only

If you’ve been on tour since the late 90s, you have probably seen one or more incarnations of the ‘Phamily Tree’ shirts, designed by Mike Davoli. These shirts are extensive in detail, noting every single band, side project, tour, one-offs and just regular old Phish bands that the boys have been in.  Starting with Space Antelope (Trey) and Tombstone Blues Band (Mike) and working up from those roots, the evolution of Phish, along with all the side projects has become an amazing shirt, and one that is never the same twice.
