420/20 Vision

Even though it’s illegal to have, smoke and sell weed, hundreds of people did all three, and in great quantities, on the steps [...]

East-Van Taggers Get Creative

Monday, 04. 12. 2010  –  Jesse Donaldson  –  BLAHG

So, for a brief time, I worked for Vancouver’s foremost Graffiti-Removal company.

Patriotism isn’t really my thing, but wow.
