And for the past three decades, the rock band Phish has created a community of devoted, and some might say obsessed, fans all over the world who can\u2019t get enough of the band\u2019s groovy jams. If you love them, it\u2019s easy to get lost in the band\u2019s music as you soak in the love and happiness they bring with them on tour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8658\" style=\"width: 166px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8658\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish_Food_3_desktop-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ben &amp; Jerry's Phish Food\" width=\"166\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish_Food_3_desktop-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish_Food_3_desktop-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish_Food_3_desktop-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish_Food_3_desktop.jpg 334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phish food! Image courtesy: benjerry.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Over the course of the band\u2019s time together (and a few times apart here and there), Phish has become one of the most significant live music influencers ever, from the band\u2019s humble beginnings in a dining hall at the University of Vermont back in 1983 to headlining major amphitheater shows ten years later. Although the band never received much radio airplay or mainstream media exposure, it has continued to grow in popularity over the year by word of mouth, as well as sharing their unique blend of music through live recordings.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of delicious blends&#8230;in 1997, the Vermont-based ice cream kings, Ben &amp; Jerry, concocted a now-perennial favorite flavor in the band\u2019s honor. Phish Food is an amazing blend of chocolate ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls, and fudge fish. Decadent! A portion of the proceeds from sales of this flavor goes toward environmental efforts in Vermont&#8217;s Lake Champlain Watershed, making the band hometown heroes as well.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the caravan of Phish Phans continues to follow the band as diehard veterans of the music fest scene meet newbies to the Phish lifestyle. One such phandom is the Phish Chicks, a group of over 6,600 women from every corner of the United States who have created an online sisterhood to celebrate the music they love. They have taken that love one step further by hosting Secret Santa music-themed gift exchanges throughout the year to connect on a more personal level.<\/p>\n<p>Phish Chicks were front and center this summer as the band kicked off its tour with several shows in Chicago, followed by a 13-night run at New York City&#8217;s Madison Square Garden from July 21 to August 6, 2017. Each night featured a colorful donut theme, as well as a unique set list with no repeated songs. The shows, called &#8220;The Baker&#8217;s Dozen,&#8221; marked the 52nd time they had played that arena since their first appearance in December 1994. To mark the occasion and the conclusion of this historic run, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio dubbed August 6, 2017 \u201cPhish Day In NYC.\u201d From there, Phish wrapped up its summer with several dates in Colorado for Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe [Phish Chicks Community] was formed in \u00a0February 2017 in order to bring together the female fans of the band Phish,\u201d explains Facebook community manager and Elfster gift exchange co-organizer Bethany Barker. \u201cWe do meetups on tour, for [live concert] streams, and just in general to meet like-minded ladies. We did our first tour meetup with the tour opening run in Chicago, then had one in NYC and had one in Denver for the Dick\u2019s Sporting Good Park event.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8652\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8652 size-thumbnail\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/EqPWP8EF_400x400-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Phish Chicks on Facebook\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/EqPWP8EF_400x400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/EqPWP8EF_400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/EqPWP8EF_400x400-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/EqPWP8EF_400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phish Chicks&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/phishchicks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook logo<\/a>, inspired by the band\u2019s muumuu-clad drummer, Jon Fishman.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bethany has included a friendly welcome for visitors to the Phish Chick\u2019s Facebook page:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>This group was created to honor our phishterhood, to have a forum for something we all love, it&#8217;s not just about music, it\u2019s about the community it has created for each and every one of us. It is about the feeling you get when you heard the first chord of your favorite song, the experiences each song reminds you of. This page is to be open, honest and kind to our fellow sisters. Please stay on that track, make phriends and share moments. Enjoy Phish Chicks! -Bethany<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Encouraging these \u201cphriendships\u201d and spreading generosity is where Elfster has come in handy for the group. There\u2019s a simple story behind how Bethany found Elfster: \u201cI had Googled gift exchange apps and it popped up and seemed easy, so I signed up and created a link and posted within the group.\u201d The rest is history, as the group is taking part in its fourth exchange using the site this October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a women only, all encompassing group and using Elfster for our gift exchange has made our connections more fun and stronger,\u201d says Bethany. \u201cWe welcome all music fans who love Phish or want to get to know more about the band and meet like-minded ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Phish Chicks Pay It Forward<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8656\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8656\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/PhishChicks-224x300.png\" alt=\"Image courtesy: Elfster user Julie Wright \u201cThank you, thank you, thank you!

It does most of the work for you. It&#8217;s tricky though because we have no control over if people give on their end. This is why we encourage ladies to join only if they are going to fully participate.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8655\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8655\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Gifts for a Phish fan\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Phish.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gifts any Phish fan would love. Image courtesy: Margaret Spahr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cPart of the fun is giving and receiving,\u201d she adds. \u201cA really cool thing about our group is the Chicks coming together. For example, in the first exchange, I didn&#8217;t receive a gift and another Chick (not my elf) reached out and sent me a Phish Tour Care Package. I, in turn, did the same for another Chick who didn&#8217;t receive anything. I have seen this happen a few times over the past 3 exchanges and hopefully as we progress, this will occur less often,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe gift exchange is a fun way to bring together an already closely knit group of women who share a love for not only Phish but the music and lifestyle that we all enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Margaret also shared the heartfelt story of how a real-life meetup with her secret elf has lead to a long-term friendship, as her new-found Elfster friend recently experienced the loss of her husband. \u201cI would never had met such a beautiful soul as I did in Elisa if it weren&#8217;t for the Gift Exchange. It has been a blessing to know her,\u201d she says. \u201cI made a real connection with Elisa and her journey. We have visited and kept in contact we talk just about every day. This weekend we will be traveling to be at a Celebration of Life for her husband.\u201d \u00a0When life is a challenge, nothing beats the bonds of sisterhood.<\/p>\n<h4>What Do You Get Your Favorite Phish Phriend For a Music-Themed Gift Exchange?<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8657\" style=\"width: 165px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8657\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/PhishChicks2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Phish-themed gifts\" width=\"165\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/PhishChicks2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/PhishChicks2-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/PhishChicks2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 165px) 100vw, 165px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Phish Phriends.
