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!

btb! Illmatic!
Had to have that. Wombat!
I actually dug this one too. Normally don’t like what they write. Less musical analysis (his weak point), more heady nonsense (his strong point), and it worked for me.
@ BTB
That photo just proves that Willowed is a freakin liar. Lol. If those shoes were at coventry then they were never actually worn. Most shoes that were worn there are still stuck there……
Fair enough Marco. I like hating on them both regardless if one is Hardy and does all the talking and the other is Laurel.
Those are soundboards. Honestly aud’s suck. Learn how to Torrent. It’s all out there for you—
Dust was a monster. Watching the dust unfold live was very entertaining.
12/28 wasn’t close. Steam is cute but it ain’t Ghost. Wasn’t even close. 31,29,30,28.

@ willowed
When I say you are a liar, I mean that I the most respectful way 😉
I hear you, Mia. I just saw that transpire on Twitter last night so that’s the extent of my knowledge. It’s just. too. much.
I lost my world famous duck tape shoes at Coventry. I was so bummed.
“It’s likely that this experience will never stop teaching me though. Throwing myself so fully into something, with only the best expectations, with the truest sense of purpose; that was and shall always remain, to live, to feel, to be and exist purely, with as direct an experience to life itself as possible. Free from the irony and detachment that is as much a part of modern life as the cellphone and the status update. Free from the performative, free from the assumed, free from the constrictions we can’t help but ladle upon ourselves every single day. Free from the snark that has infested our culture. Free from the spectacle of confusion that separates us from the things that truly matter. Not sport and reality tv but human connection and personal meaning.”
I just threw up in my mouth.
Marco – Yes. He was really drunk…the guy actually playing guitar busted out “Cripple Creek” and then another the Band song so I tipped his wo0k ass $1.
too many commas and run on sentences. hurts my head. don’t compose the YEM of reviews.
Yeah, cut that paragraph.
Onto YEM now, excited to revisit what I thought I heard. And the epic Trey dance that comes after.
Wouldn’t it be great if Fuck Your Face HAD been in Gamehendge. Shit would be getting real. Fuck that Wilson’s face, yo
It’s the literary style, not that he feels like a real person at a Phish show.
I have pics of the shows, but those weren’t nearly as awesome
misread the file sizes but still happy with the link shred.
Oh.
I didn’t know that I wasn’t supposed to like the way he writes and the emotion he touches.
My bad.
Can I go back and delete?
Only miner has that power. Try and email him. Bet he’s stuck in NYC.
I went barefoot into the concert field at Coventry. It was that or just take them off and throw them into that mud lake with the 2×6 across it for 500′
I would have just taken my pants off too, but MrsMiA wouldn’t have it.
