Unused/Untorn Phish Coventry ticket
Signed by Trey, Mike, Page, Jon (currently available) |
Maryland Heights, MO, December 15, 2004. John Langenstein, Director of Security for
several bands including Phish, CSN, and The String Cheese Incident, has teamed up
once again with David Shulman and The Mimi Fishman Foundation to raise money for The
Station Family Fund.
The Station Family Fund is an all-volunteer, 501 c 3 recognized, tax exempt,
nonprofit organization, founded to offer assistance and relief to people directly
affected by the fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. 100
people perished, close to 200 severely injured, and more than 60 children lost one
or both parents in the horrific fire on Feb 20, 2003.
Todd King, a survivor himself of the fire, is the VP of the Station Family Fund.
"It's vital we don't forget the families left behind. The Station Family Fund was
formed to help those families, as well as the survivors", said King. "David
(Shulman) and John (Langenstein) have been instrumental in helping fund our
organization."
The auction, which began December 13, is the fourth in a series of
Langenstein/Shulman on-line auctions, with the first three raising over $40,000.
Unlike the first three auctions, which included a variety of items from many
different bands, this auction will only feature Phish related items. Phish, after
21 years together, recently called it quits, as their last note of music was played
August 15 at their own festival in northern Vermont.
The eighteen auction items are sure to be of interest to any Phish fan. Included
are the actual guitar strings used by Phish in 2004, one of their wardrobe cases
used all the way up to their last show in August, as well as a full Conventry
festival ticket signed by the entire band.
"When Shulman and I ran our first auction for the SFF, I never dreamed there would
be more. I thought it was a one-time shot. My desire to help those affected by the
fire has only strengthened and I am more determined now than ever to help out the
survivors and the families of the victims," said Langenstein.
The Station Family Fund will distribute every dollar raised by the auction in an
effort to address the needs of the survivors and the families of victims.
"We have put together an amazing array of Phish items for this auction. Any Phish
fan will definitely want to take a look. Most importantly, we are raising funds
for a very important charity," says Shulman.
