I'm officially dubbing 2003 as the Best Year of the Millenium (so far) ...

Phish has announced a 21-date summer tour at locations from coast to
coast, all to culminate in "It," a 2-day festival in Limestone, Maine.

A limited number of tickets for all the non-festival shows will be
available directly through Phish Tickets-by-Mail's secure online ticketing
system (http://phishtickets.rlc.net) for a 5-day ordering period beginning
Thursday night/Friday morning, April 18, at 12:01am EST and ending Tuesday
morning, April 22, at 11:59am EST. Tickets go on sale through traditional
outlets beginning the weekend of May 9. Specific onsale information, door
and show times and ticket prices is TBA.

"It" will be held at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, site
of Phish's Great Went and Lemonwheel festivals. "It" will feature three
sets of Phish each day, along with numerous attractions and art
installations created by talented teams of artists and performers.
Significant improvements to the site over previous festivals will be made,
but these improvements will result in a reduced capacity. Fans are
encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets go on sale in real-time (not
a lottery) this Thursday, March 27 at 12 noon via Phish Tickets-by-Mail
(http://phishtickets.rlc.net) and Ticketmaster (including phone numbers
207.775.3331, 617.931.2000, 413.733.2500, 212.307.7171, 802.862.5300,
