Why I'm Doing This Thing
Q: Why?
1) I now have a job that allows for extending listening time at work.
2) After a 9-year Phish hiatus, I relapsed hard in 2009.
3) Sites like phishows.com, the Google spreadsheet, Mr. Miner’s Audio Archive, the soundcheck/rarities spreadsheet, and so on make listening to old Phish shows easier than ever.
4) I often need something to tweet about, and this provides good fodder.
