Like a cross between a hurricane, and a ship that’s run aground. Phish, Grateful Dead, mountain biking, snowboarding, gardening in Brattleboro, Vermont. Sometimes using my doctorate to talk about Phish.

Loved this bit of wookery last night: people in the 200s where it was blacked out (from about half court all the way around behind stage to half court on the other side) raging the front row in front of the curtain

Watching Antiques Roadshow because Monday, and the closeup on this scene just showed the item and the Phish shirt. I was like “Phish!!” Then it pulled out to the wide shot and I was like “oh wait that’s Sylvan Esso.”

I am so very very excited to have organized the first meeting of the Phish Studies area at MAPACA (Mid-Atlantic pop/American culture association) conference this weekend in Philly! Three days of programming with 18 presentations including a guided listening session. So proud of my fellow colleagues

We all think of 2004 Phish as a total shit show, and some of it was, but holy shit that June 04 tour was banger after banger every night. Super high-level jams almost every night. Stuff that makes you ask “what show is this??!!!!” because you never listen to it. This CD is the best of the best
