Last Friday, the day after thanksgiving 2006, I drove to Providence, RI, to see this hallway and talk about it for the magazine.

this guy was there to let us into this door to the Los Angeles Lakers training facility.

inside it were boxes... some two people had just moved in from somewhere in massachusettes... the two people were 2/3rds of PaperRad


and the third was there as well, along with Kathy Grayson

(and if you look at Kathy's Myspace blog -which you should because it is very up to the minute and informative and it gets kind of crazily scandalous and blogs are about scandal and up to the minute information, right, right?-you will see that this picture was used there before it was used here...
....and back outside the door the team members pose sideways?

its true.
so what does this all mean? And where was Dash Snow with his camera? Well, to be honest he had already done his part, two months ago the last time all 3 PaperRadders were together (Ben+Jessica live in Providence and Jacob lives in Pittsbugh)... Hmm...
And on a fully fully fully sidenote, like, completely unrelated for reals (I'm not being coy), I'm playing with PaperRad and DJ's Free Simon, Song Hat (Chris Johanson) and Chiostafari (Christopher Garret) in Miami next Saturday for the big aNYthing and ANPQuarterly Miami Basel Art Fair party... but I will post the flyer for that in a few days...
BLOGGING!
and maybe this whole post should have been about thanksgiving craze, right? and how jacked it is? or not? a debate about it? unfortunately the post wasn't, but maybe in this space for one second think about why thanksgiving is jacked historically and then why it is positive culturally in 2006, but then again how it is crazy dark and comes from such evil blood and about how culturally things get washed of bloody violent origins... okay, so just for a sec... okay.

sweet. thanks for blogging
ANP QUARTERLY BLOG = RAD SWEETNESS
Will someone explain LA "fashion" please? For serious. I understand art, and I understand punk/whatev and not caring but this is crap!
I'm glad theres new info up on the site though! Thanks for all!
pictures of warehouse doors...compelling.
Chunk the duece. Is this a sneak peek of the ANP spring line.
dear anonymous
Ben, Jessica and Jacob from PaperRad have all spent their entire lives on the east coast. Kathy Grayson has as well. There is not a single person from LA pictured anywhere on this blog yet... I gues that it is hard to "get" something if you don't even know what "it" "is."
Who are you and why are you such a hater/perp?
love
Brendan Fowler
The haters are ALWAYS anonymous.
Went to the laker game on thursday and I didn't paper rad anywhere?
