Phish is supported by hundreds of folks - from the crews at Dionyisian (their management company) and Dry Goods (the merchandise arm), to road crews (five passenger busses and six semis, plus a crew of 50) and local hires/volunteers (upwards of 900 at Big Cypress).

Of this vast multitude, six have been known well on the net. (A larger set is identified in the Dionysian family photo.) All are very nice, but very busy before and during shows, so please let them do their job and thank them afterwards. Also note that Dionysian is a bit smaller during the band's hiatus, so that some of these folks, and others you may know of or through Dionysian or Dry Goods, are doing other things for the time being at least.

• Paul Languedoc is the soundman for the band (and has been for some time) and the builder of Mike's Dragon bass and two of Trey's guitar.
• Brad Sands (aka Sandsio) is road manager, was formerly known merely as stage hand, was the "Balloon Tech" (for 12-31-93), has been the Guitar Technician, and was the Mockingbird (in a Big Bird costume) 12-31-92.
• Chris Kuroda is Lighting Designer.
• Shelly Culbertson has filled many roles, but was most recognized online for her work with tickets, mail order, and Phish News. She has been cited in several articles, for example 11/9/99 in a Livedaily.com article.
• Kevin Shapiro is the band's archivist, handling "the vault" of audio and video records of past shows, and other materials. (See interview conducted for the Mockingbird Foundation.)
• Dominick Placco, bus driver

As Shelly asked (circa 4/95), "Please note that people grow and change, so don't be surprised if you see different people doing different things."
