Dust off Granny’s ganja goo-ball recipe. Take that patchwork spinner-dress out of moth balls. Start cleaning your bongs. And fire up the VW bus. Because it looks like the boys from Vermont are coming back for a small fall run in 2006. The quinetessential jam band from Vermont formed in the mid-80’s, and after almost 20 years of building a wildly devotional fan base from almost-yearly touring, the group disbanded last summer. Each member had been involved in various musical side projects and had lost the passion to continue to awe Phish fans . They said they didn’t want to be playing the same songs for the next 20 years, and creative differences had the led the band to a fork in the road. Trey Anastasio wanted to go his own way, while apaprently a couple other members, most notably bassist Mike Gordon, wanted to cotinue. Well, after less than two years apart, it seems the group has decided they miss each other and their music too much.
Word has leaked on the internet that the boys are planning a 10-show mini-tour next fall, beginning October 21st in Boston and concluding on Halloween in Montreal, Canada. We are not sure as to the veracity of this information, but the buzz on the net is growing. And we have received a copy of a fax from Monterey Peninsula Artists to an undisclosed recipient with the potential dates. Check it out and decide for yourself whether it be true. We’ll be in the backyard working on our Hacky Sack footbag techinique.

so heady brah. I'm getting a new credit card for this tour.
care.
That is the best headline, ever. And I'm not even a phan of Phish. (I find them annoying.)
wow, I was expecting it to be at least ten years if not longer. ten shows, huh. The closest one to Austin will probably be Chicago.
While phish coming back might be true, this document looks so fake its laughable.
i agree, bernie kosar. what? you don't think we're onthe cutting edge of media relations here at HQ?
how dare you, sir? how DARE you!
They could at least fake the fax with the real Jemp logo from jemprecords.com instead of stealing from another Jemp company.
Retards..
