Barcelona, Spain 2007 (2 of 7)

August 15, 2008 | Filed Under Graffiti, Lifestyle | No Comments

After partying all night and catching tags around town till about 4am, we rounded up the crew the next morning (aka 4 hours later with no sleep) in front of HOTEL JAZZ near the Universitat De Barcelona district to go handle business for Bread & Butter. The Seventh Letter heads were hired by Royal Elastics to do a live painting exhibition on top of an artshow called “Letter’s First”. Earlier that morning, REVOK had the opportunity to go towards the MONTANA headquarters and come back with a van full of paint. No exaggeration. Shit was ridiculous. I can honestly say that he took about 500-700 cans from a variety of colors. After everyone divided the paint accordingly we caught the METRO to BBB aka Bread & Butter.


Rounding Up the Troops

SIDENOTE: While walking just about 400ft away from the hotel, I spotted the 3 Long Black Marble Ledges that are in all the skate videos. Wow, I swear everything is within skating distance. (Wish that I had pictures to show you what I’m talking about.) Damn was I stoked. Had to skate it but sorry no pics on my camera. I know that some of the photographers that were documenting the trip took a sequence of me doing a Manual to Kickflip out on one of those. Hope that I get around to getting a digital copy of that one of these days.

Upon arriving at the BBB tradeshow, I was amazed at how big the location and display was for just clothing. I guess that I don’t know jack about fashion? (I always either racked my pants/shirts or got the hook up someway somehow for cheap.) The spot is basically GIANORMOUS! (Giant + Enormous) If any of you have actually been lucky enough to attend this event then you know what I’m talking about. This building can easily cover 2-3 blocks with buildings scaling up to 3 stories high or more.


Just one of the many entrances to get into BBB.


This was the front entrance of the building and all of The Seventh Letter heads had to paint the white wall towards the right for the live painting exhibition.


Just look at the floorplan. Everything highlighted in yellow were sections where the clothing brands were at. The list under it were the people that were there. Looks like a good 300+ brands!


Here’s an action photo of REVOK & AROE putting it down towards the left and REYES & HENSE towards the right.

The center of the building had a courtyard with all kinds of stuff such as a pool (Seen here.) and a miniramp that I got to skate with some of the European CIRCA heads.
