Hey Phish.net. We're constantly getting requests to perform fan favorites, so we're stepping it up a notch and performing 2 sets and an encore created entirely by you.

Write up your best 2 sets and encore and post them below here or on our FB event at http://www.facebook.com/events/415856721819817/ . We will pick a winner in various categories. The Grand Prize winner will be contacted ahead of time and given 2 tickets to the show, other cool Lawn Boys prizes, and will have the show they created played live at Sullivan Hall!

Please pass this along to any and all friends you think would have fun with this. Rules and prizes below. Let the games begin!

The Lawn Boys at Sullivan Hall
214 Sullivan Street, New York, NY
Friday January 25th, 11PM
$12 in advance/ $15 at the door

- Prizes: Show played live at Sullivan Hall, two free tickets to the show, a Lawn Boys t-shirt (not available in stores) and a laminated show poster.

Best Classic Set List

Funniest/Most Original Set List
