The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
My point is that I'm not going to care what Mike is wearing when he drops huge bass bombs in Kanasa City. I'm not going to look back on shows that I attended and describe to people what it was like to tell the girls in the row behind be to shut up or discuss how my experience was marred by the fact that the event staff threw my crew out for using drugs. Because 99% of the people who weren't there won't give a shit. What's it to them? The date itself only exists within the confines of photos and the mp3 files. So why not describe that? 7000 people have stories about Sunday night in Frisco...but all that matters to me, since I wasn't there, was how on they were and how well they played..the music.
The staff does a good job with that. I think you're jumping the gun here.
