Phishin’ For Apples

Trey getting in touch with his DJ side at the It FestivalOk, that title was bad, I admit it… :)

Apple has posted an article about their presence at Phish’s “It Festival” that occured last weekend up in northern Maine. Apple sponsored a tent full of iMacs at this event where people could go and burn themselves a disc full of tracks from Phish’s “Live Phish” series of cds for free. Besides the cd burning tent, Phish had a radio station setup that was broadcasting the whole weekend and was using iTunes as the source for the music.

Pretty cool to make a cd while you’re at the festival so you have something new to listen to when you’re stuck in traffic for 10 hours like some of the attendees were while trying to get out of the parking lot/camping area… Overall, the concensus is that the “It Festival” was fantastic and worth the hassle of crowds, etc. I will be able to experience the event when the rumored DVD of the shows from this past weekend is released…
