Most phans can pinpoint the moment when they transitioned from simple curiosity to hopelessly hooked. The 3-night Worcester run 11/27/98-11/29/98 was that moment for me. As an 18-year-old Phish fan in Massachusetts in 1998, these shows marked the most distinct launching point of my life with Phish, and, as I would later come to realize, played a huge role in what my key interests in life would be the rest of the way. The same can be said for many other people in the same situation who would become my best Phish friends and peers when I went to college a year later.
