Good to have you back. I'm a relatively new Phish fan and your essays have been quite insightful as I learn more about the band. Excited to dive into 98!

When I read your wonderful, well-written essays, I feel blessed to know a fellow phan who also takes his time---and seems to take pleasure in---crafting his words.

While Fall ‘97 was the tour where I had my Phish epiphany, I’ve always been partial to the more colorful tapestry Phish began to weave in 1998. They could have stayed in 1997 mode all year and made lots of phans happy, but they we’re committed to evolution, taking chances and having a heck of a lot of fun, ta boot.

I’m grateful I got to experience that era firsthand, and it’s awesome to re-visit it via your excellent essays. Thanks again for writing them!

PS The word nerd asks for forgiveness for this:

Phish epiphany = Phishpiphany , ha ha, Phishphany, umm, Phishany, never mind ... !!
