About PholkTales.com

I originally envisioned the PholkTales idea over the summer of 2000.  After having many memorable Phish experiences of my own, it wasn't difficult to realize  that others fans have countless stories to tell.  We all know that the Phish environment breeds much magic and sets the stage for incredible memories, and I don't see any reason why fans' stories should go untold.  Our lives and experiences play an important role in the history of the band and the history of our culture, so why let them slip away with the deterioration of our memories?  

Bearing these feelings in mind, I utilized the help of Ideas, Inc. web development facilities (biggups to webmasters Jon Kurpis and Pat Johnson), eventually publishing PholkTales in the late summer of 2000.  I can't describe how much I enjoy maintaining PholkTales... I get a kick out of every story that comes in.  As I continue updating the site every day, I feel like I'm am gaining a greater appreciation for the scene that ultimately made PholkTales possible. 

Side Note: I don't think this page would be complete without a little biography, so I'll just say that I grew up in Ramsey, NJ, attended Ramsey High School, and am currently a student at Middlebury College in Vermont.
