YEMblog Guest Tweeting
I’ll be guest tweeting for YEMblog (twitter: @YEMblog) this weekend in Cincinnati, and I though a little introduction would be appropriate.
My name is Joseph, although for most of the people I’ll be seeing this weekend, I’m Tang. I spent a few years on tour from 1996-1998, and saw shows more sporadically after that. This Cinci run marks my 102nd and 103rd shows. I’m partial to long, composed Phish stuff, and machine gunny Trey. I currently live in Columbus, Ohio with my wife Tori, our two dogs and our 3 month old daughter, Piper Stone.
As far as Phish 3.0 is concerned…I’ve followed the whole thing with great interest. Someone mentioned on twitter the other day that a defining characteristic of Phish c. 2009 is that you can essentially “do tour” from your couch. With all the twittering, live streaming and next day downloads, a geek like me feels right at home. I’ve been doing just that, and I have to say that I’ve been really impressed for the most part. I can forgive some flubs in composed sections, and while you’ll hear me grumble about Time Turns Elastic and Light, I think Joy/Party Time is a pretty cool album(s). The summer found us preoccupied with Pipers impending arrival, but we managed to get out for a homecoming of sorts at Deer Creek. You probably know how that turned out. So in a way, this’ll be the first show I’ve seen of Phish 3.0. I’m really excited, and can’t wait to see some indoor Phish (always my favorite).
If you see me, feel free to say hi. You can also follow my usual twitter stream: @jeditang. See ya at the show!
