In anticipation of Festival 8, the epic three-day Halloween party, I have created a new print. The screenprints are available for pre-sale now and will be available in the festival campgrounds and parking lots next weekend.OctoFest is a limited edition three-colour screenprint run of 150, all signed and numbered. Please contact me if you would like to purchase a print (shoot me an email at paisleyblue(at)gmail(dot)com. Price is $25, plus $10 shipping/handling in mailing tube to anywhere in the US/Canada. Please also add $2 if paying by PayPal to cover their fees.
In case you're not hip on Festival 8, here's a little more about the spot and the magic that lies ahead. With lush green fields and palm trees, and surrounded by vistas of California's majestic Santa Rosa mountains, the Empire Polo Club (home of Coachella) is simply breathtaking (just trust me). So, keeping the tradition of past Halloween shows, Phish will don a musical costume on Halloween night and cover another band's album. The tradition began on Halloween 1994 with Phish covering The Beatles' The White Album. In subsequent years, they covered The Who's Quadrophenia, Talking Heads' Remain in Light and the Velvet Underground's Loaded.
The band will play eight sets over the course of three days, and as with all past Phish festivals, fans will enjoy on-site camping, numerous attractions and art installations throughout the weekend. And, on Sunday morning, Phish will perform it's first full-length acoustic set with complimentary coffee and donuts! There will be dozens of microbreweries around the site, MLB World Series coverage (as long as the Yankees aren't in it) at an Olympic peak overlook tent, light installations all over the palm trees and grounds, and well, I'll be walking around in an octopus costume selling my prints on Halloween!
