Welcome to Attendance Bias! Today, my guest is author Jason Gershuny. Jason is the co-author of the book: “100 Things Phish Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die.”

Jason chose to discuss Phish’s show on August 6, 2017 at Madison Square Garden, which you may recognize as the final show of the historic Baker’s Dozen, also known as Glazed Night. 

There was a lot for Jason and I to talk about, having similar upbringings in the New York City area, but also because we got very emotional during this closing night at the Garden for very different reasons.

As we discuss in today’s episode, Jason’s book, which he co-authored with Andy Smith, is an extensive FAQ about Phish, giving bite-size nuggets of information about the band and the Phish culture, acting as an extensive primer for new fans, or a reference book for seasoned fans and jaded vets.

Jason and I were put in touch through a mutual fan, and when I literally read the book, I knew I would be speaking with a person who had not only an extensive knowledge of the Phish universe, but also a deep appreciation for the music and the scene.  

So let’s join Jason Gershuny to talk about August sixth, 2017 at Madison Square Garden.
