The G-Crew is a group of volunteers who help with a coordinated recycling and general clean up effort at Phish shows. Volunteers pick up recyclables and hand out trash bags in the parking lots. They also are an important outreach arm of Phish, helping spread general messages to concert goers when necessary. The G-Crew is organized and directed by Ronnie Kwasman and Billy Ornald.

In return for their efforts, many volunteers receive free tickets for that night's show. Unfortunately not all volunteers receive tickets every night, as there are more volunteers than tickets available. We strive to make sure that everyone who contributes to the G-Crew is compensated in accordance to their dedication to the effort. If you want to become involved with the G-Crew, simply show up at will call (also known as the box office) at 5 PM before any show, and look around for 40-50 kids having a meeting. They will be there, without fail.

Please don't bring glowsticks into shows! They are hard and heavy enough to inflict pain and injury, and that happens too often. Throwing anything in a crowd where it's going to hit someone who isn't expecting it is never a good idea. Enough said.

Thank you for your interest and inquiry; however, we have no openings to offer, and are not accepting applications or resumes. If you want to get started working in the music industry in general, we suggest that you become involved with a local band (or theatrical enterprise, depending upon your interest) in your area - the skills and experience you pick up will be very valuable if you choose to develop this into a career.

Please do not bring pets to shows. The crowds and heat can be very unpleasant and dangerous for them, and if they get lost they may never find you again. They will be much happier at home.

We cannot provide copies of shows on request, but you might try the Usenet newsgroup rec.music.phish or other Phish message boards - there are often folks there who will burn CDs of live shows if you send them blanks and postage, and once you have a few recordings, then you can start trading to expand your collection. To understand the responsibilities associated with tape trading, please be sure to read Phish's Audio Recording and Transfer Policy.

To get official soundboard copies direct from the band, check out Livephish.com. The service -- Live Phish Downloads -- offers high quality, unedited soundboard recordings of select shows in standard MP3 and CD-quality FLAC files via a state-of-the-art delivery system. All download files are compatible with Windows, Mac and Unix, allowing for maximum flexibility and ease of use. Once downloaded, shows can be burned to disc, transferred to portable players, or played through your computer. Each show also comes with printable booklets, tray inlays, and labels if you elect to burn your files to CD.

The address for all correspondence is:

The band members cannot be reached directly via e-mail, but general inquiries can be sent to Betty Frost at betty@phish.com.

Generally Phish does not play benefit concerts. Rather, the band prefers to make direct grants to good causes through the WaterWheel Foundation. Due to the volume of requests received, it is not possible for us to become involved with individuals' marriage, birthday or other celebrations. Nonetheless, please accept our best wishes for the future!

Interview and photography requests should be directed to the Publicity Department of Elektra Entertainment (phone 212.275.4159, fax 212.956.7284, tamra.wilson@elektra.com). As we are only able to accommodate a very limited amount of requests, please note that only serious inquiries from accredited media will be considered.

The guitar in question is known as "The Matterhorn", and is a one of a kind instrument crafted by Trey's friend Trow Cottrell. Mum's the word on the cutting edge technology that enables the antlers to do their thing. You can find out more about The Matterhorn by visiting http://www.bizarreguitars.org.
