Howdy, 10 years ago today I went to my first Phish show. Been to 32 since. Oh man. I love this band. The story is this. For years I ignored Phish. I thought they were an instrumental band that only did covers. I didn't get the attraction. Then

Everything about The Sphere is outstanding. The outside, finishes, lobby, concessions, bathrooms, and ushers. It's all so wonderful. Refik Anadol's moving art is one of the scenes that rotates on the outside along with advertising promoting Sphere shows (the advertising is also very well done). I

the $$ amount of influence tied to Twitter personas who won’t say their names is mind blowing. These faceless and nameless souls squawk to their followers about what to buy, but then won’t put their names on the line? And people listen to them??
