1. we had probably over a year to layout the book, but we lagged crazy and did it last minute in a week!

2. although you might have seen some of the photos in other publications, we have never published any of the photos before except for the cover image which was ran super small in issue 001!

3. we originally asked if the book could be 500 pages! we're stupid!

4. they originally wanted to do a "greatest hits" but i thought it would be better to wait a few years and put out a book called "the first decade" ! yes a direct rip off of that one life magazine book!

5. there was gonna be like 50 photogs in it but people are super busy or super lazy!

6. our book release date of feb 14 is also hamburger eyes 7th bday and the photo epicenter's 1st bday!

7. theres a photo of mike stevens in the book and i didnt realize it till the other day that mike took my camera and took that photo of himself! but i got the photo credit! it was the morning after we had a giant party at monkey's house in sd! it was the after party of a big show we did! i passed out in the living room and woke up to people having sex near me! the other day me and mike smoked pot after tims bday! i hadnt smoked in years and now i get blunted everyday since then! just kidding! but it was fun!

8. theres a photo in there of stefan's that may look like his uncle, but really its his aunt!

9. they asked me to write a "forewards" for the book, but i wanted it at the end so its called an "afterwards" ! and i basically ripped the whole thing off from a bbc documentary called "humans 2.0" which is about how computers are becoming as smart as us!

10. my new favorite font is called "hobo" and its on the spine and everywhere and anywhere i can put it! thats just fyi, go ahead use it if you want!

11. theres a photo in there that boogie shot somewhere in south america. it says "tupamaro somos todos" which means "we are all tupamaro" who happen to be a rebel guerilla movement named after a revolutionary named "tupac amaru II", who im sure tupac shakur was named after too. so yes "we are all tupacs" !

12. the last spread in the book, the zorro photo by teddy p is not only showcasing 24th st but my block even! ungh!

13. theres a dogg count of 24 doggs in the book! it was a coincidence!

its albert reyes holding our new book! he's got a good show up at ampersand right now, go look at it, if you lucky they might have copies of his new zine, which is really really good..
