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.
I also don't mind people writing show recaps from their couch. While I do think the best case scenario is for someone who was at the show because being able to actually see the band and the lights is part of the experience, I do understand the desire to get recaps up in a timely manner. So someone watching a webcast who is available to write about the show is perfectly acceptable.
But the person writing the recap is listening the show via a phan's phone? That's suboptimal. Hopefully it can be avoided in the future.
