HeadCount to stage “Reality Check" Game Show at Phish's Festival 8


Fans Compete for Grand Prize of One-of-a-Kind Jim Pollock Artwork in Trivia Contest


Rock The Earth To Recycle Cell Phones at Festival



Phish


If you fancy yourself an “a-Phish-ionado," or an expert on current events, you'll have a chance to prove it at Festival 8. HeadCount, fresh off announcing superb statistical results from last year's voter registration campaign, will host the “Reality Check" music and political trivia game show at this weekend's Phish festival. The Grand Prize winner will walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork by Phish poster artist Jim Pollock.



Be prepared to answer questions like this:



What part of Floyd's body got “sliced"?



What town does Trey Anastasio, John Popper of Blues Traveler and Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors all hale from?



What Who album did Phish cover on Halloween 1995?



All you have to do is stop by the HeadCount booth and be ready to play “Reality Check." You'll also get a coupon for a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food Ice Cream just for playing or for filling out HeadCount's “What's Your Issue?" survey.



“Reality Check" will pit you head-to-head with another competitor as a host quizzes you on Phish history, classic albums, the news and government. Plus, there will also be a Family Feud-style “Survey Says!" question. Win three straight times and you can advance to the Tournament of Champions, held before Phish's final set of the weekend on Sunday, November 1.



The Grand Prize winner will receive an uncut sheet of four Pollock Halloween masks. These masks will be available at the WaterWheel table throughout Festival 8, which will house a Pollock gallery. To make the “Reality Check" prize one-of-a-kind, Jim is doing a special illustration on one uncut sheet - meaning the winner goes home with a true Pollock original. Other prizes include a Festival 8 merchandise pack and an autographed copy of the PhanArt book.



So stop by the HeadCount booth and play “Reality Check," complete the survey and learn more about how HeadCount works with musicians to encourage participation in democracy.



Mobile Phone Recycling Drive



Rock the Earth and Phish are asking all fans planning to attend Phish Festival 8 to bring their old, unwanted mobile phones to the Rock the Earth booth for recycling.



All festival attendees who bring a phone to the Rock the Earth booth for recycling will receive a coupon for 20% off Musictoday purchase, PLUS get a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. In addition, each phone is worth one entry into the daily drawing for Phish CDs, Green-themed DVDs, digital download cards, and one lucky Phish Festival 8 mobile phone recycler will win a Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar!



Did you know that there are more than 1 Billion mobile phones waiting to be recycled in the U.S.? Or, that one mobile phone contains enough toxic substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, etc) to contaminate 40,000 gallons of drinking water? Or, that an estimated 175 million new mobile phones will be issued this year in the U.S., yet less than 1% ever get recycled?



In partnership with Musictoday, Gibson, Rhino Records, and Nugs.Net, Rock the Earth's mobile phone recycling program aims to inspire fans to embrace recycling while increasing public awareness of the environmental consequences of discarded mobile phones. The more phones you bring to Phish Festival 8 for recycling the less toxic chemicals end up in landfills and the bigger your positive impact on the environment, while also increasing your chances of winning one of these fantastic prizes. What are you waiting for? Spread the word!
