EWB 337 RYAN PATTERSON

My friendship with Ryan Patterson has spanned over a quarter of century at this point.  We met way back in the day when he was playing in National Acrobat with his brother Evan.  We became friends and have supported each other’s creative efforts for the past several decades.  The list of bands and creative endeavors spans from his bands Fotocrime, Coliseum, Black Cross and National Acrobat (among others) to include design work, promoting shows and operating his design and merchandise company Shirt Killer.  It was a pleasure catching up with Ryan and I feel fortunate to call him Friend.
