David Gallo and Phish Surprise Fans /// Viveca Gardiner FEATURE RAINING CATS AND DOGS DAVID GALLO AND PHISH SURPRISE FANS /// VIVECA GARDINER 64 RAINING CATS AND DOGS DAVID GALLO AND PHISH SURPRISE FANS /// VIVECA GARDINER MARCH 2017 \\\ 65 FEATURE etrichor. Tis rare and evocative word defnes the smell afer rain hits dry earth. It’s also the name of a new song Phish lead singer Pand guitar player Trey Anastasio was per- forming with orchestras in early 2016 and planned to put on the next Phish album, Big Boat, which was scheduled for record- ing and release later in the year. Clocking in at 13 to 17 minutes (many Phish songs vary with each performance), it would be the frst new “epic” jam the band had released in years, and the band antici- pated a big reaction. In March, when Anastasio called long- time collaborator David Gallo, asking him to create and direct their upcoming New Year’s Eve “gag” at Madison Square Garden, he made three requests: 1. Te band should never stop playing. 2. Tere should be a giveaway for fans. 3. Te song would be “Petrichor.” Phish has a long tradition of playful pranks, especially during New Year’s Eve performances. The band has performed every December 31 since 1989, except for the two years when they’d split up. Gallo was excited. He’d created the gags in 2009 (shooting drummer Jon Fishman out a cannon), 2010 (a multinational cast singing “Meat Stick” in many languages), 2011 (aerialists rising from the crowd), 2012 (turning the arena foor into a massive gar- den/golf party), and 2013 (recreating the band’s original truck and equipment). He hadn’t worked with the band for the last two years but was happy to resume the col- laboration. The request was a tall order, though. The first two parts were easy: Phish “phans” come for the music. Concerts last for hours, and the band members seldom stop to introduce songs or banter. In some past gags, the band had acted out stories or switched to recorded tracks while they DAVID GALLO 66 In March 2016, Phish lead singer Trey Anastasio asked longtime collaborator David Galloto create and direct their upcoming New Year’s Eve “gag” at Madison Square Garden.

For MARCH 2017 \\\ 69 FEATURE example, the creative team developed and then abandoned an entire shadow theatre element and multiple staging ideas. Afer considering extending a thrust ramp through the arena foor or surrounding the stage with platforms on elevators so the dancers could work on multiple lev- els, fall down chasms, and climb over each other to ascend walls, the team simplifed the design down to adding an extension on the forestage for the dancers to use during “Petrichor” and platform risers on and behind the main stage for the addi- tional musicians and for the dancers to use during “Suzy Greenburg.” The technical feat that eventually became perhaps the defining moment of the gag was actually a relatively late addi- tion: 16 umbrellas dancing above the for- estage. Tait Towers’ nano winches can carry power and data to whatever fxture is attached to them and can be controlled individually to adjust speed, direction, and in the case of the umbrellas, color. Each customized umbrella was outfitted with two RGB LEDs, one pointing up to illu- minate the dome and the other pointing down to show the dancer beneath it. Once Tait and Gallo fnalized umbrellas with the proper weight, colors, lighting units, and classic hook-handle, Kuperman Brothers choreographed a dance to synchronize the dancers with their movement. Given the title of the song, Gallo wanted to incorporate rain, but he and the team went through multiple versions of what that might be, deciding on and then rejecting real rain on the entire audience (bad for the hockey ice under the foor) and metallic con- fetti (too sticky and difcult to clean) among other ideas. He also wanted it to “rain cats and dogs” as the perfect comic afermath of the moody dance piece in the rain, but plush animals were ruled out for safety reasons.

MARCH 2017 \\\ 71 FEATURE 3D RIG DRAWING JULY 20, 2016 SIMULATION FOR CANADIAN FALLS OPTION COURTESY OF DAVID GALLO DESIGN 72 MARCH 2017 \\\ 73 FEATURE Terry Mulryan Toomey of Future Afairs solved both problems. For the cats and dogs, she sourced inflatables and created special nets to hide them from the audience while suspended, and for the real rain, she suggested water marbles, the polymer glob- ules used mostly for industrial landscaping. Nobody had ever dropped them before, so Future Afairs ran tests to fgure out how to hydrate them enough but not too much, how to drop them, how to control the fall rate, and perhaps most importantly, timing. She also worked closely with Sandler to fnd room and truss to fit everything among the lighting equipment and winches. Tey managed to fit 16 tumblers for the water marbles and lined the bottom so the mar- bles wouldn’t fall out until the tumblers started to rotate, and they taped over about a third of the perforations to limit the num- ber that could fall at once. Afer months of planning and weeks of dance rehearsals in a New York studio, the team had its only chance to put it all together, ten days before New Year’s Eve. The Phish team set up the stage, equip- ment, and lights at Rock Lititz Studio in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The rehearsals did not go as planned. Although the lighting team had stayed up almost all night programming, they weren’t close to fnished when the rest of the team arrived, and of course, they needed to fne- tune many cues once the dancers rehearsed.

    JULY—1977 TNNSYLVANIA the KeystoneH State's / * Official FISHING BOATING Magazine... ^J 30c il agw. Single Copy ITS UPHILL... ALL THE WAY! ifty years ago Lindbergh made his solo flight across the Atlantic and those F of us who were boys at the time remember the thrill we felt over his ac­ complishment . how, for several years afterward, we wore "Lindy" leather helmets (with goggles on the forehead!) to school and wished for the same op­ portunity for glory and accomplishment. Less than two years later our families were knocked to their knees by the Great Depression. Only the necessities of life took on any real value and everybody in the family earned his own way. If you wanted something, you earned the money to pay for it; if you didn't earn it, you went without. A generation later, despite having what are now called "recessions," Americans have, in many ways and for one reason or another, turned around 180 degrees, determining that their children will never have to suffer the deprivations they endured. This is a tragic turnaround, in a number of ways. One- third of our state budget is dedicated to welfare and other giveaways. And, significant among the giveaways — it seems that every time someone thinks of giving something free, they think of fishing! When the Fish Commission asked the General Assembly in early March for an increase in its license fee, the enlightened members of that body required that the bill include a juvenile license, one just as we had asked for in 1973. It is amazing how much negative reaction can be generated by this small request.

    Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas FLORENCE L. SNOW From a Portrait by Helen Hodge Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas By FLORENCE L. SNOW UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS LAWRENCE *945 COPYRIGHT, 1945, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS All rights reserved. No part of this book may be repro• duced in any form, except by reviewers of the public press, without written permission from the publishers. TO THE MEMORY OF MY SISTER EMILY SNOW PREFACE Kansas has often been called the perfect flowering of the New England conscience. Sometimes this is meant to be a com• pliment and at others it is plainly an insult. Either way I doubt if it is a fact. What we did get from New England, particularly in the days of ''bleeding Kansas/' was the habit of talking, writing and philosophizing about conscience. This gave the impression that we had a very active and painful conscience, though it was frequently only an excuse for talking about ourselves, like an operation. Even after our convalescence from the Civil War we never stopped talking and. writing, despite the fact that when we wanted to point out the scar we could no longer find it. In this way Kansas became the most articulate state in the Union. Whether New England should receive credit (or blame) for the habit is beside the point; the conscience and the language are pure Kansas. However, this is only one explanation. Another is that only in Kansas and New England is the climate so warm, cold, windy, calm, unpredictable and preposterous that it is always a fresh topic of conversation.
