God bless Al Gore for inventing the Intarwebz. Besides being a place for needless arguing and rampant free porn, the global information superhighway is allowing music fans from around the world to experience Phish Fest 8.
Not everyone is as lucky as music editor Martin Cizmar and got to make the trip to Indio to see the three-day event in the flesh, but thanks to live feeds being broadcast over Sirius/XM and other online sources, as well as thousands of tweets and twitpics being broadcast via Twitter, its still possible to enjoy the show from half the world away.
(Be sure to check out Martin's twitter for updates from the show, and maybe check out SoCal site LAist who (thankfully) hooked Martin up with a laptop in exchange for a couple pics.
What follows is a collection of some of the countless tweets being made from Phish Fest 8 (which we'll be updating with the latest messages):
