The first academic conference highlighting research in the interdisciplinary field of Phish Studies will take place on July 21, 2018, at 1pm in the Gorge Amphitheater Campground. The event is hosted by Oregon State University’s School of History, Philosophy, and Religion.

I thought I was excited about the sights and jams at the Gorge this year. Then I see that I can hear a lecture titled "What's With Wooks?" delivered by Dr. Christina Allaback.

I have quite literally never been more excited in my life. Liberal Studies-heads unite!

I would definitely like to learn more about predicting a show's rating using setlist information.

I won't be at the Gorge, but if anyone can send me ANY info from that presentation, that would be awesome.

I’ve rented audio/video equipment so we can document the talks to make available online after the event.
