What is Gamehendge?

Gamehendge is the mythical land in which The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday (Trey's senior project at Goddard College) takes place. It is also a colloquial nickname for that project. Further, it is used as a characterization of some shows. When songs from the project are performed live, accompanying narration often (e.g.) details the transportation of the audience "to" Gamehendge. Some fans speak of "going to Gamehendge" with reference to attending a show, somewhat independent of whether any songs from the TMWSIY project are or were actually performed. Some of the narrations explain how to "get" to Gamehendge -- for instance, the "Vibration of Life" (a seven-beats-per-second rhythm more than a song) may be one path, and a Dentist's nitrous oxide was a route 7/8/94.

See also, the Wikipedia page on Gamehendge, including a list of 20 Gamehendge characters.

Don't miss the relatively hidden Gamehendge art.

By the way, at one point some Phish.Netters were going to make a Gamehendge mobile for Eliza, with llama, lizard, fish, Marley (lab), antelope, possum, horse, sloth, weasal, mockingbird, ewe, chimpanzee, mouse, mule, crab (in my shoemouth), owl (buffalo bill), pig (guyute), dog and cat (harpua and poster nutbag), whale (gin, coil, sanity), two-toned multibeast (tela). A box of stuffed animals were given instead.

Special thanks to Peter Gorla, Bob Wuest, and Alli Bogdanowich.
