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.
And are Canucks fans no longer worthy of fandom if they question Luongo's goal tending or speak publicly of the cheap-shots, finger biting, acting, or other mis-cues in the series? Hell no. It makes them MORE of fan. And they'll be back next season wanting the Cup even stronger.
Pet peeves of mine, and you've pretty much hit all of them:
> Calling the band "the boys"
> Questioning fandom by publicly speaking opinion
> Saying "a bad Phish show is better than any other band's best night" (just trite and not true)
> Saying we should just be happy Phish is back, some Phish is better than no Phish (yeah, that's also trite and boring)
However, all that being said, I certainly have my fingers crossed that you will be able to report back from Charlotte, Raleigh and Portsmouth and "refute all the haters". Certainly I think there's a great chance that will happen.
Just do us all a favor and don't fall into the trap of my final pet-peeve:
> Over rating shows you were at and failing to believe and being incredulous that anyone not at the show could have the audacity to review it
