December ’95 Haiku Finalists
Fall 2013 (Andrea Nusinov)
Here are the ten finalists of the December ’95 haiku contest. I put the names into a hat and drew three winners, who are highlighted in blue. Winners, send me your mailing address and I’ll get these out in time for the holiday. Thanks to all twenty-five people who entered a haiku! (I wanted to publish em all but thought it might be overkill!) Happy Holidays!

Unstoppable express train

short days, chilly nights
fiery facial peak onslaught

Bob. He barely used it for Light. Used more night 1 and 2. Echo Plex
Got no cake, ate rail for Truck Your Face set in its glory.
#UVM’d
I like the set as is. They nailed it.
There is no grey area for Gamehenge. That wasn’t it.

Can’t have Dylan listening to Audience. It’s embarrassing.
Stop it. Was not a GH set. And close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
I have a vision of Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny arguing over it like “Duck Season! Rabbit Season! Duck Season! Gamehendge! Old School! Gamehendge!”
Someone ends up with a shotgun blast in the face blowing their bill on backwards.
thanks Shred, you got 12/29 aswell? would love a better aud of Carini.
-fastballs from Shred, the best
The crowd huge improvement
^ Noticed it right on night 1; super supportive and engaged crowd. One of the standouts of the first night. I love it when the whole building in all on the same vibration along with the band.
Simple>Hood was slick stuff also…. Probably gets overlooked in what was probably the 4th best of 4 shows, but that and CDT are praiseworthy
The NYE Light was so smooth.
“Phish plays love” for the Phishm win.
“Miner needs a break” for the drive by troll win. ha!!!
In the end, Phish out did themselves again and managed to change the script one more time.
Who’s got my “AG in tears as the stage moves” home video?
For the record, it beat Fish being blown out of a cannon, It’s a small Meatstick, Golfers Delight, etc.
Four guys playing their core instruments that made them famous.
Gutsy.
yeah haven’t checked the CDT yet either… Shred says Darkstarish…
Surprised ppl aren’t digging 12/30 more. I think besides 12/29 that was the most flowy front to back, sets 1 and 2.
Dug most all the song choices

“shotgun blast in the face blowing their bill on backwards.”
^ Exactly how I feel riding rail
I started last rewind on Sunday morning for Sat’s show and now am holding off to see what our host has to definitively(spit infinitively) say about the shows…
Actually I just want to bask in the glow some more from what I do recall.
Sat next to Canadians for both 12/29 & 12/30. Montreal in the house keepin’ it real. I’m sure they both thought I was nuts.
1-800-TORONTO DWD. leave a message after the beep.
ive only spun night 1, nye set 2 and light. def heard the echoplex all over the night 1 show.
Phish in another 30 years..

I’m a noob at getting quality sounding auds. Usually go youtube (deadphish panthers has been big for me) or Phishtracks. Palmer/Shred/MiA’s and others linked auds to drop boxes have always been killer.
would love to make a killer aud comp of the best of Fall/MSG shows.
Never checked the Etree, is that where you get the decent sounds?
Or do you masters have soundboards somehow….

Willow’s shoes that he allegedly “wore to Coventry” that are “10 years old” – for some reason that cracked me up

Ugh. I can’t read the pomposity of that shit that those guys write. Didn’t realize it was “them” until the fifth sentance.
Diharea of the word processor. Literally Neemor, my hell of Phish writers.
Clowns with a voice.
This one is Just Zac, in the flesh. super wordy
If he cut out 50% of the words in there it would probably be a decent read
