In the past couple of months I've been blessed with the opportunity to spend virtually every waking moment with the members and founders of AnmlHse. I distinctly remember the first time I went to the old apartment in Center City, which was lavishly decorated with jean stains on the wall, more empty bottles than I have fingers and toes, and a couch in the bathroom that I wouldn't suggest putting even your coat on, much less your body. My friendship with these cats since August makes me think of countless memories that I will forever store in my "Sigh... Good times" folder in my mind. Memories like $20 strippers found on craigslist in the basement, couches on fire in the back alley, passing out in the diner then somehow waking up only to sing "Beauty" by Dru Hill, then falling back asleep, etc. And this is when they lived in the nice part of town.

To everyone's surprise, s**t escalated when they moved to North Philly, right outside of Temple's campus. That is now my home away from home, and due to many nights of sleeping on couches or someone's floor, I've been named an honorary roommate. Its bad to point where while I was at the Stussy Inauguration party (yeah, the one I said I wasn't going to a couple posts ago), a complete stranger walked up to me at the bar and said "Oh s**t. What's good you ol' AnmlHse ass n**ga?" before dapping me up. All I could do was laugh.

Now I'll forgive you if you live in Philly and you've never been to one of their parties, but if you've never heard of them... you are literally the last of a dying breed. For those of you who dont know how we get down, let me bring you up to speed...
