Phish In Worcester? Secret Show? or just pratice?

A couple hours ago some murmurs about a Phish secret show came across my tweetdeck "worcester" search. Phish take their musical stylings and rabid fanbase inside Fenway Park this Sunday night for one show, and it seems that Phish might be getting loose at The DCU Center in preparation.

Carlspackler chimed in with this on a Phish fansite around 10:30 tonight:

I went to Worcester at about 930, drove by Tammany a couple times, the only thing I saw there were about 5 people standing outside and a few others driving by slowly.

Then went to DCU and walked around. TOO FUCKING FUNNY seeing about 10 obvious phanners walking around also. Everybody peering in windows and doors. The stage is definitely set up, and a drumset is visible as reported earlier in the thread. As I walked around the building I saw a DCU employee on his phone outside and here was our exact exchange:

I asked him, "Hey is there a band in there?"
her replied, "nope"
me- "you sure"
him-"Yeah, it's just a stage setup, they'll be here tomorrow"

so, looks like I'll stop by tomorrow also and stick my ear to the door. Also, red 'upstaging' moving trucks were in full effect outside the venue.

Another poster weighed in with:

It was a fun night but I too left Tammany in defeat with tboy1976 (it was great hanging with you, M, & L!). First time I ever met anyone from PT.

Tomorrow I'll just stick to listening outside down at the DCU -I live within walking distance of the DCU, so for me it's simple.

The band is expected to practice tomorrow (don't have a confirmed time) and possibly Saturday. Don't rush to Woosta -I can't say it's really worth it for anyone to come down here tomorrow. The real blowup is Sunday for sure (get there early!! -someone confirmed that it can be VERY slow getting inside Fenway).

Was my night worth it? Absolutely! It was a hoot to wander around the DCU with phish playing inside, I met some wonderful phans, and now I'm even more psyched for the tour.

Tammany Hall was also mentioned as a spot where Phish might take the stage tonight. tboy1976 reported from Tammany with the following around 11pm:

Alright still reporting from deep inside tammany - hip hop hip hop some dude passed out cold on a table to the left - lots of phans in here good atmosphere but starting to feel defeated.

Talked to tje owner of the club asked "where's the phish" he said "I wish I knew". He said he has been getting calls all day about this, I asked "if they were coming would you know" and he said if they were coming to play yes he would know if just to hang out he said most likely he would have no clue.

I am stayin till midnight and if nothing happens I am out!

I'm going to guess that they will be practicing at The DCU tomorrow (obviously) and possibly Saturday. I'll hold out hope for an interesting weekend with the possibility an undercover Phish show going off somewhere that I can get to within 7 minutes.

Busy Day At The DCU

This afternoon I had a double dip at The DCU Center. First I went and was able to get my picture taken with the 2004 and 2007 World Series trophies. Since it was a worker who was taking the pics for me I only had about 10 seconds and told her to shoot as many shots as she could. 80% of them came out shitty as you can guess because the one I posted above was the best of the lot.

After seeing the trophies I was able to score a ticket to the Boston College vs. Miami of Ohio regional final for $25.00. Nine rows up from the glass and $20.00 cheaper than the box office price. Hell of a game. BC was overmatched throughout but scored 3 goals in under 2 minutes as the 2nd period was winding down. Miami forced OT with a goal late in the 3rd period.

BC was getting outgunned in the OT frame as well before they were able to score on a nifty rebound off of an odd man rush 12 minutes into OT. The Eagles were the one team to emerge from Worcester and punch their ticket to The Frozen Four in Denver, CO.

NCAA Hockey North East Regionals In Worcester 3/29-3/30/08

Worcester and the DCU center host the North East regionals of the 2008 NCAA Hockey Championships next weekend. Two games will be played back to back on Saturday with the winning teams facing off on Sunday. The winner of the regional will advance to the Frozen Four Championship in Denver, CO.

It is very well possible that both the University of New Hampshire and Boston College could be playing in the Worcester bracket. I just watched these two teams battle into triple overtime in the Hockey East semi finals tonight with BC coming up with the victory early in the 3rd OT. Watching the way this game was played this evening the potential thought of these two teams meeting again in Worcester next weekend would make for one hell of a match up.

I believe the brackets are announced later tomorrow evening. If the teams that are coming to town look strong and the match ups look interesting and compelling I could certainly wind up sauntering down to the DCU Center to take in these 3 games....
