Patrick Riley, Ph.D.
Background
I’m a Phan. I’ve been to more than 30 Phish shows. I love the spontaneity, variety, energy and the other fans. Some of the best shows have been on the beach in Mexico, but I think my son is going to be disappointed with all future concerts where you can’t dance in the ocean.
