Countdown to F8: Win One-of-a-Kind Pollock

Phish’s Festival 8 kicks off on Friday at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, CA and those of us who can’t make it very excited to learn last night that Sirius will be broadcasting all eight sets including the “musical costume” and acoustic sets on their Jam_On Channel live as they happen.

For those of you who will be making the trip out to Indio, we’d suggest stopping by the HeadCount booth to compete in their Reality Check game show for a chance to win a one-of-a-kind piece of art created by famed Phish poster artist Jim Pollock. Here are the deets…

“Reality Check” will pit you head-to-head with another competitor as a host quizzes you on Phish history, classic albums, the news and government. Plus, there will also be a Family Feud-style “Survey Says!” question. Win three straight times and you can advance to the Tournament of Champions, held before Phish’s final set of the weekend on Sunday, Nov. 1.

The Grand Prize winner will receive an uncut sheet of four Pollock Halloween masks. These masks will be available at the WaterWheel table throughout Festival 8, which will house a Pollock gallery. To make the “Reality Check” prize one-of-a-kind, Jim is doing a special illustration on one uncut sheet – meaning the winner goes home with a true Pollock original. Other prizes include a Festival 8 merchandise pack and an autographed copy of the PhanArt book.

So brush up on your Phish trivia and at the absolute least you’ll walk away with some free Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food ice cream. Good luck!
