This remnant will be replaced soon. The FAQ is back, with a new design! What is a "net shirt", and how do I get one? GETTING ONE: The PhishNet Shirts were designed in 1994 and are fabulous! The graphic below is a poor rendering, and only shows one side, but even that (with multicolors and a snazzy design) is more than worth the measly $10. The shirt is of the same high quality as in the past, and is officially sanctioned by the band Phish. Ordering information was once and likely will again be at http://www.phish.net/netshirt/; meanwhile, contact Marcie Vogel via email at marcie@attbi.com. Note: Supplies are running low, with only perhaps a dozen of these special shirts left, so get in contact with Marcie asap! Many thanks to the band for their consent and initial financial support, Matt Laurence (bassist for yeP! and designer of the previous designs) for the great designs, Shelly and Cynthia at DryGoods/Dionysian/MailOrder for taking the time and interest to get this project going, Rosemary Mackintosh for taking the initiative and time to get it into motion, and Marcie Vogel for keeping it in motion. And thanks to Amie Beal for the shirt scans! HISTORY: The Ophishial PhishNet T-shirt (aka tshirt, t-shirt) has been around since Christmas, 1991. It's a great shirt and proclaims to all a band worth hearing, seeing, and otherwise experiencing. There have been three versions, initiated in 1992, 1993, & 1994. The first two were administered by Matt Laurence, the third by Rosemary Mackintosh. These shirts have been officially christened & approved by the band, & have been receiving rave reviews from Phishheads everywhere. They are an indespensible tool for locating netters at shows, both those that you're trying to meet and people you would otherwise never speak with. (In re the latter, you're *bound* to meet some great people, have more fun, establish great tape trading relationships, et al from wearing a net shirt! We all do!) They're great! They're fun! And they're more helpful than you'll know until you get yours. 1993 shirt description from Matt: "The front design is a large, multi-colored psychedelic swirling net, with a cool fish wearing Ray-Bans floating in the center. The words Phish and NET are at the top and bottom, respectively, in large ripply blue letters. On the back is the [old] net address with another graphic..." 1992 shirt description: the same smilin' fish, much bigger, with colorful children's wood-block type around him declaring the PhishNet. Note: there is no design on the back of the 1992 shirt; at shows, during sets, and at my seats, some wear this version backwards, so the design might actually get seen; that or stand up and face backwards during setbreaks. THE NEXT ONE: Marcie sent an update (11/19/97) that, "Due to unforeseen technicalities the Phish.net T-shirt contest has been delayed for several months now. We apologize for this and also for not giving an explanation sooner. We honestly thought all this would've been taken care of by now. However - there are still MANY '94 T-shirts available! If you haven't seen one yet, go check it out on www.phish.net. We would really like to sell these shirts so that we can move forward with the NEW T-shirts. If you are interested in buying one, please email me (marciedee@attbi.com) and I'll send details on how to purchase one. We sincerely hope that the Contest can be reactivated soon (we're thinking about calling for submissions of designs again, of course keeping the ones we've already received) and will do our best to get this done as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding." "`Nobody asks why people travel across the country to see a World Series or a Billy Graham crusade.
