Fall Tour News: iTour and Art Show
iTour
Just in time for Fall tour, Phish fan Marc Pechaitis has updated and renovated the perfect touring companion, iTour. This app, debuted by Pechaitis a few years back, provides all necessary information you need while on the road and on tour. Using the iPhone’s location technology, iTour not only gets you to the venue safely, it helps locate any services in the direct vicinity such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, liquor stores and more. Beyond location services, iTour also integrates access to setlists, seating charts, tickets, twitter, local music, and videos for each show in the run—all with an easy to use interface.
iTour costs just $.99—WTF, its just a buck!—and works on both iPhones and Androids. It works on devices running iOS6+, and is optimized for devices running iOS7.

A PhanArt Poster and Pin Exhibition: Atlantic City,” featuring Phish artists from around the country, will be held on Saturday November 2nd from 12pm-5pm at Caesar’s Atlantic City. This unique art show, developed and produced by Pete Mason, will be held on the final day of Phish’s Fall Tour, ending that night at Boardwalk Hall.
Phish Art shows have been held since 2003 with great success. Unique posters, pins, shirts, stickers and much more are made for Phish shows, making “A PhanArt Poster and Pin Exhibition: Atlantic City” a must-attend event during Phish tour. Produced by Pete Mason, founder of PhanArt and author of PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish, the art exhibition represents a continued effort to promote and exhibit original and unique concert art from a wide variety of artists. The eclectic artists featured at this event show the broad scope of Phish related art and capture the inspiration of the band in their art. Phish’s creative fan base makes amazing art inspired by the band, their music and the locales they play.
Throughout the event, Show of Life will be streaming live the first ever Phantiques Road Show! Fans are encouraged to bring their collectible art to be reviewed by a panel of expert curators who will be on site for appraisal. Fans are encouraged to participate in a silent auction in person at the show or live from couch tour, making for an interactive feature to “A PhanArt Poster and Pin Exhibition: Atlantic City.”
Non-profits include The Mockingbird Foundation, which has given grants for music education totaling more than $700,000 over the past 15 years, and PhanArt, a book and website created as a way to showcase the art made by Phish fans, raising money for The Mockingbird Foundation through donations from artists and fans, totaling over $11,000 since 2009.

^ free iTour app for the first 15 people who hook it.
I’m taking my little girl to her first haunted house on Saturday. I can’t wait. She swears that she is up for it and that her friends have all been to one. She is 12 and in Junior High School. Guess that is about the time when things start changing. Last year she wouldn’t go in the back yard when it was dark, now she wants to go to a haunted house. I hope she is up for it. Should be fun.
Oh ya. Go Hampton.
Hey gang. Hope folks are getting fired up for some early tour fireworks. Gonna try to webcast Sunday night. Safe travels to all and as always, thanks Miner!
Hampton baby, Hampton!
Finally hashed out my fall tour itinerary. Got goose pimples thinking about hitting these upstate NY minor league hockey rinks. Boardwalk Hall sounds and looks like an amazing venue. Perfect for Phish. But you need the dirty, out of the way, oddball venue to bring out the dark and out there Phish. Bring it!
I love love love the layout of this fall tour. So pumped.
Safe travels!
Just checked Masthay’s Hampton poster.
I’m usually a huge fan but not so much on this one. Scorpion is kinda killer. Scorpio’s are the month of October. Wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Alright! Made it to Amsterdam. Detroit(what?!?!)>Boston, here I come. Looking forward to listening to the PHiSH next week. It’s going to be a great tour. Have fun all you ofolks down at the Mothership. I’ll be plotting for Rochester with my folks. I hope they play well (but not too well) 🙂
Safe travels to all!
Miner, thnx for the code hookup!
I went with Isadora’s fall subscription (including Hampton, Woosta, AC, NYE, bonus print)

I have her AC 2010 and really like it. The light print is looking great too.
On the road again!
So excited for all of you making down to VA! Bring your best selves and vibe that shit strong to the band.
Kick this tour off…THE RIGHT WAY
Bunch of cheap fucks beat me to it.
you could also call them “opportunistic mofos” @dorn
I only start seeing the good in people after 2 cups of coffee.
that little bus in the i-phone app has similiar rims to my bus- old porsche rims on vw’s! for those of you heading to VA have so much fun! stoked to hear some new phish- i hope it is mind bending and mind blowing!
the best argument for the return of Keyboard Army? perhaps it will foster an epic 36+ minute collaboration with MMW like it did 18 years ago today
stay for the jam that follows
you won’t regret it
iTour not available on Andriod? racist.
did you replace your vw engine with a porsche one to match the rims? I was lucky in that I had a ’79, cream of the crop engines for type II’s. I’m dreaming about datsun chinooks lately.
Put in an offer on our dream (for the time being) house last night and still no word. dude said he’d have an answer by last night…
Looks like Mkdevo got busted last night in Woosta…

Busted or pointed at by eddie vedder’s creepy looking brother?
Morning BBers…hope everyone has a great time this weekend and during the entire Fall Tour.
It is going to be a good one!
