Justin will be heading out on the road to Festival 8 this morning, so I’ll be taking over full blogging duties for the weekend (weee!). Hopefully, we’ll get some updates from him along the way, but knowing the chaotic nature of the festival environment, I don’t think we’ll set our expectations too high.
For now, here are few Phish-related links and updates to get the day started right…
Did this actually happen on Conan last night? Slightly surreal, and just plain silly:
