The Final ‘You Can’t Win’ blog post from Josh and Pez

Okay, so Ray Brown of The Citrus Report killed me in my last blog post that was supposed to be my last but after some crying and begging, he agreed to do this last one of our trip home. Thanks Ray, love you man!
Maria brought PEZ and I to a hidden fortress on top of a mountain. It was probably the best part of the trip. We walked for like an hour in each direction in total darkness, through the woods the get to a stone house where we chilled and listened to sick Dub music and smoked cigarettes. I actually got like 20 minutes of sleep there, as well. Honestly, to go there at night like that was something out of a dream.

PEZ and Joshua Blank, the final PDX blog: “This is what we do on opening night”

It was a very hard week for PEZ and I because we where not sure what art was being shipped up for the Portland show, and we basically free styled this show, with wall paintings improvised shelves and finding supplies in the city while not knowing our way around. Some of the pics from the last blog where taken during our free time during install week, which also consisted of lots of painting back and forth, dumpster diving, and panhandling. Photos of the show will be posted separately somewhere on the web, soon. The following images where taken during opening night and on the train ride home. —Joshua Blank
