THE MICHAEL MOORE FUND BENEFIT AUCTION
As you may have heard, a very unfortunate death occured the evening of the Phish Alpine Valley concert. A 30 year old (young) man by the name of Michael Moore died in an accident after the show. David Shulman has put together a collection of Phish related items that will be auctioned off in order to raise money to help defray the funeral expenses that Michael's family has incurred.
