The emails are starting to flow out from Music Today with news of how you did for Phish’s Late Summer preorder. Did you score your golden ticket or were you denied? Let us know by leaving a comment below…
The great photographer sat curled on the Hampton, Virginia stage like an invisible snake holding a widescreen camera. Indeed, the renowned lensman, Danny Clinch appeared more like a Pirate King on the prowl for his next big scenic adventure—dark hair slicked back, black boots rooted to no one spot for too long, and a sharp arch in his eyebrows.
was co-created by A.J. Cataline, David Herman, and O.B. Babbs, the son of original Merry Prankster Ken Babbs, who also hosts the documentary. The film is weird, far from perfect, amateur hour, and somewhat ridiculous at times. However, it is also a fascinating 56-minute study of Leary at the end of his life. Last Trip isn’t exactly a final acid adventure captured on celluloid, so let’s dispel that notion. Instead, the documentary features the ex-Harvard professor and lifelong psychedelic pioneer, and his relationship with LSD, the countercultural movement, drug prosecution laws, Hog Farm leader Wavy Gravy, and, of course, the noted writer, co-partner in acid, and famed rabble-rouser, Ken Kesey, as he accompanies Leary on a few road trips—the Pranksters clean up the ancient Furthur bus, and take it on a trip with some of the original MP crew, offspring, and Leary and Kesey in tow—and a cyberspace journey—a final call from Kesey to Leary which ran on the net, and was alleged to feature a Leary suicide, but that turned into a mythic charade—before his demise of prostate cancer on May 31, 1996.

WOW. 4 really, really, really good tix for 8/15. WOW!
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 1:40 am
I got 4 for Shoreline. I got denied for the Gorge and Red Rocks. In my posse, seven placed orders for Red Rocks, and five have been denied. Still waiting to hear from two.

2 Hartford lawn
2 SPAC lawn
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 3:33 am
Requested the whole tour except Chicago, ended up with only 4 SPAC lawn.
My friend got 4 to Shoreline and both Gorge shows.
Don’t know anyone that got Red Rocks — will try to be there hell or high water. My guess is they won’t be allowed back after this year, so it’s now or bust.

Scored 2 tickets to all four nights at Red Rocks
AND
got the $50 TM”glitch” rebate…
What a crazy week~!

I got denied for SPAC and Darien lakes, but my brother got 3 for SPAC.

I never received an email. I’ve checked my spam, and added their email address to my address book. I’ve NEVER received an email from them for rejection. I’ve always had to email them to check the status. My credit card has no pending charges. So I’m assuming that’s a big fat REJECTED. Since Hampton I’ve entered the lotto about 10 times and have gotten rejected every time. Hopefully I can somehow get through the Live Nation site or whatever. Doubtful though.

Scotty–did you get tix?
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 9:24 am
@Al – I got tix for everything but SPAC. Can’t believe it, my luck is gonna catch up to me one of these days. Just hope it’s not for Halloween!
@Jennifer – Maybe you should start a new email address just for mail ordering and your luck will turn around.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 9:27 am
@ Scotty – probably. I think they block my email address because it starts with ‘ph’ HA! No biggie though. I’m THANKFUL as hell that I’ll be hitting up 5 shows. It’s more than I could ask for. I’d just like to FINALLY go to Red Rocks since I had to cancel my trip last Labor Day weekend.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 9:57 am
Well, if you wind up at SPAC, would love to meet up with you. Perhaps a mini-Westmont reunion would be apropro!
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 10:19 am
Im going to shoreline, both gorge, hartford, darien and spac. I love this lottery shit i got all nights hampton jones beach, mansflield, and camden. The only shows i didn’t get were rr. Anyone wanna buy a roo ticket i need to save for my cross country cali-wash trip.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 10:37 am
Got all I requested: 1 lawn for SPAC. At least I’m in. I have a nice east coast string lined up and ready to cast: JB, Mans, Pitt, SPAC.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 11:31 am
Denied 1 single SPAC ticket! : (
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Well i was denied as well for 2 hartfords as well as three of my buddies. The only friend I know who got tickets got 2 lawn seats. How is it that a pre order where you should get the best seats in the house he ends up with lawn? And if you look on ebay now everyone is selling lawn seats. You think they left the good seats open for once for fans on saturday?
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Denied both nights at the Gorge…All hands on deck Friday!
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 1:07 pm
went for the whole run, got 4 darien and 4 toyota park… guess I’m glad I’m in. I’ve got an extra lawn for Burgettstown, PA…. looking for Hartford/shoreline/RR… Anyone?
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 1:11 pm
@Greg- the paperless ticket petition is no good for most… we all use our Mother/brother/sister/uncles card to order tix…with hopes of getting the golden ticket! The likelyhood of having access to that credit card to tour with is probably a most uncommon thing… I could be wrong but seriously… IMO thats not the answer.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Never once gotten a lottery ticket. Just got denied for not only RR but a single #$%^&ing SPAC!! – Simply put, not worth the hassle anymore. I’m more than happy to download FLAC files and enjoy with a clean bathroom and my dog. Plus, get to plug in the guitar and play along- which naturally would get me shot if done outside the house! -
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 3:20 pm
