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.
This is something that would be worth remembering before reading the recaps. Myself included.
@ericwyman said, "Yet another meta filled comments section."
The main beef with the recap is that is the epitome of "meta", in that is far more self-referential in it's content than it is concerned with the music at hand. Why you seem so extremely pissed off about the fact that it's being treated the way it is is something I don't understand. You talk about the moderators and recappers as if they were some breed of martyrs that are sacrificing themselves and their "own personal time to bring us something creative".
If you view it as such a fucking chore then open it up for people who aren't moderators to volunteer recaps because I can tell you their are plenty of people who wouldn't view it the way you do.
