Hi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. After an odd summertime Texas stop in Austin, Phish is keeping us disoriented this year: it’s now time for a holiday weekend run in Colorado…but not the one we expect. Instead of the end-of-summer blowout at Dick’s over Labor Day Weekend this summer, we are instead celebrating our country’s independence with a July 4th weekend party at a college football stadium almost double the size of Dick’s: July 3, 4, and 5 at Folsom Field, in Boulder, CO.

Today’s guest, Bryan from Boulder., has lived in the college town for over 20 years and has a lot to offer Attendance Bias listeners today. While thousands of Phish fans have made Dick’s their summer family reunion this year is a change of scenery, not to mention an adjustment to the calendar. When these shows were rumored, and then announced, there were mixed feelings among the fanbase (at least those who made their opinions known online). Bryan explains why there’s so much to look forward to in Boulder, and how, in many ways, Folsom Field has a lot to offer, compared to Dick’s. 

But it’s not all just a comparison of two Colorado stadiums. There’s also the band’s history in Boulder, the activities within and around the city, restaurant and brewery recommendations, and more. I think a lot of us are curious about what this run is going to look like, and today’s episode might be able to give us some answers to frequently asked Folsom questions.

So let’s join Bryan from Boulder, longtime resident, to give us the lowdown on what to expect for July 4th weekend at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.
