The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
I think we are compelled to love the MOMENT of any Phish show ("the show i download next is their latest show" ...but AFTER the moment, we can have the "statistical" fun-- compare the show, and the 3.0 era in general, to the past. But practicing only one of these types of fandom would be incomplete.
For me, this philosophy put into practice looks like this: Had a great time at both Amherst 2010 shows... I was totally in the moment...but upon listening back a few times, they won't be in my listening rotation. Same with most of Superball (with a few notable exceptions).
