**During The 2001-> Art Jam, the band members take turns painting large
designs at the side of the stage. Then, the crowd "carries" the pieces of
this design to the side of the venue where it is assembled and hoisted for
eveyone to see onto a tower.  This wood tower is tall and covered in
painted plywood and has been built during the two shows.

As Harry Hood goes into the Jam, Trey again asks Chris to turn the lights off,
and the band jams while the front section has a gigantic Glow Stick War.
Trey tells the crowd at the end of the Jam to "go and get more of those,
because that was cool.",

**During Tweezer Reprise, they burned the entire assembled design to the
ground.

    There was a midget in costume as well as 5-6 monsters
    strutting the stage. Ken Babbs was Frankenstein. The
    Tin Man was also there. Phish played part of Frankenstein
    as Babbs came out. Kesey went on about something about
    the "bozos havn't been seen in two years." and this
    skit was acted out onstage with the band jamming
    behind them. Unreal.

** Trey "we're supposed to go into Famous Mockingbird now
         but we can't: the funk's too deep"
