This Sucks.

A big gigantic thank you to David Bean, Ben Frank, Brad Spitzer and the rest of you who gave me sh*t for not thinking I wanted to do this in the beginning. Especially Ben Frank for calling me a pussy. That was the deciding factor. This was by far one of the greatest experiences I've had in a very long time, so I seriously owe you all. Also, as if it needs to be said again, but a HUGE thanks to Mackle for all of his hard work on this. He is truly The Sultan.

This was amazing. I will definitely see you all in '09!

Eli says:: Also, I know that technically a blow-pop does not suck, but you get my point.

Will you join us for Moustache May?

Spitzer says:: It was a privilege to have you here in our ranks. Your photos killed and it's been great to hang with you these past 4 months. We'll still have to get together from here on out.

Mat Wiseman says:: Farewell Eli.

Glad you could make it along. Pissed that you were an excellent photographer and diminished any chance I had for a KB. Oh well. It was a pleasure seeing your wonderful work.

motke says:: The silence sat in the room like a 900 lb. woman who had passed out after eating her weight in chicken and fish sticks. The grape, gum coated candy treat rested on a white stick of paper, wrapped tightly to form a 'stick'. He longed to taste of its grapeness, but a force, or maybe a distant memory of hugging benfRank shirtless, stopped him in his tracks. He pondered. A hawk attacked a fake duck. The wind blew through his hair. The sea, thousands of miles away, rested, even if momentarily.
