Phish Setlist Anagrams

The gag on the first night of Dicks 2013 spelled out "MOST SHOWS SPELL SOMETHING", backwards. Brad Sterling later revealed Trey had a setlist for the second night that spelled out "It's not always the first letter". This is a tool to help find anagrams and visual patterns in Phish setlists.

Usage

setlist_anagram.rb can be used either as a Ruby class or a command line utility. To get setup and use on the command line:

1. Create an API key on Phish.net and add it to the file config/phishnet_key

    echo YOUR_KEY > config/phishnet_key
   

2. Install needed gems via Bundler

    bundle
   

3. Run command and provide a date

    ruby setlist_anagram 8/30/2013
   

   Which will produce

    G H O S T
    N I C U
    I C C U L U S
    H E A V Y T H I N G S
