    Saber! We met at FIDM when you did some wild style on canvas. Helped you with your paints. You hooked me and my buddy up with some prints! Thank you for being such a great artist!

    Saber was by far one of the most inspirational writers from when i was a youngman. Big ups to MSK, AWR and all the 7th Letter homies I met throughout the years at random.

    The longest upload on CZcams I've ever listened to or watched without skipping has been a music album and an animal documentary. This evening I add this very interesting upload to my "undivided attention" list. Simple set up with a table, table props, nice little background with family pics, great production team behind the camera and interesting individuals. For real. I never stay tuned to most things on you tube unless it's about animals,music and big booty black women twerking compilations. Especially this long, cause of my limited data. Love the intro too. Funny and intriguing from start to finish.

    1:35:20 I was just thinking about the bathroom at the Venice Pavillion like a couple days ago. I remember walking in there by myself at like age 14... maybe even a year younger. The bathroom was dark with no lights working, and you only had the light from the outside leaking in. It was completely bombed with graffiti from ceiling to floor. It smelled like piss and shit. And you may or may not catch some transient in there tweaking, doing something sexual, or out to do harm to anyone who comes inside. I still somewhat have nightmares about that place.
