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.

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.

weapon in the hands of avarice and greed."
