Hi everybody and welcome to this week’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. You know, if you’re anything like me, you absolutely need a cup of coffee to start your day. And if you’re anything like me, you also like to support small businesses. And if you’re anything like me, you like to especially support small businesses run by Phish fans. And that leads us to today’s guest and show, Josh Millman–a fan who is the owner and founder of Passion House Coffee out of Chicago.

As you’ll hear me say, I was turned onto Passion House Coffee by and unsolicited mention of it by friend of the pod RJB on the Helping Friendly Podcast. I’m always in the market for new coffee, and when I heard RJ mention Passion House, I immediately checked out the website and ordered two pounds of Passion House coffee for myself and two pounds as a Christmas gift for friends of mine. After it arrived and I had my first cup, I knew that I wanted to speak with Josh about Passion House, about coffee in general, and of course about Phish!

For today’s episode Josh picked Phish’s show at Deer Creek Amphitheater on August 13, 1996. This show was the 2nd of two nights at Deer Creek during the lead up to The Clifford Ball. Summer 1996 being an underrepresented tour on Attendance Bias, I was super excited to listen and dig into this show and this era. 

 So let’s join Josh to talk about why 1996 stands up against any other year in 1.0, asking a small town sheriff for directions when you miss your exit, and how a big Mike’s Song can last forever, as we discuss Phish’s performance at Deer Creek on August 13, 1996
