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.

Aaron writes: Some of you might not know this, but for a brief period earlier this year Brendan and I lived together in a bright orange house in Glassell Park, LA. Though chocked full of adventures (BARR's video was filmed in our living room), it was a short lived experience and it all came to an abrupt end as autumn leaves began to fall. Why am I writing this? because I just found this photo of Brendan's car made into a makeshift laundry drying contraption/conceptual art piece on moving out day. It was a beautiful thing to behold. R.I.P. Club Glassell.

HELLO!
so, this is blogging...
Aaron already said it in the post below, but Welcome to our ANPQuaterly blog.
As an introductory iamge I am offering this


Unity, right? Suburban unity! its like a cat and a dog cuddling by a fire... but like where the fire is maybe too close and theu are really sleeping and you're like, whoah, do they really not feel that they are going to blow up? I mean, look, neither the bike or the skateboard are locked up? you can't even lock a skateboard up, so don't leave that shit outside! And that drink could get poisoned! its outside of a drugstore, too! what if someone put a bunch of Tylenol PM's in there? I was drugged once at a show I played, for reals! it sucked so much!

I've been racking my brain all day trying to figure out what would be an appropriate "first post" to our new web communicator. I finally decided that it's best that I just share something that inspires me. Afterall, that's what our whole magazine is about. This is a photo of an installation I saw in Eureka, California. It is by an artist named Romano Gabriel. He was a crazy old man who built these wood sculptures on his front lawn. When he died, the city of Eureka made it a permanent installation in a downtown store window. Check it out if you're ever there.
