If you're ever by Warren or Black's Hall, you must stop by the 4th story, as there is a paining there that has become a permanent staple in Black's hall for good. Alton has been sprayed on an empty wall, and now it's home sweet home for him for a while, until custodians find him. To the close friends, it's like seeing a mural of a fallen friend; for strangers I would think that it's almost like one of the paintings in Harry Potter that you have to talk to before you enter. This picture really reminds me of the good times, where you could just find Rico and Alton philosophizing in a room together for long periods of time, here the scene is closely recreated.
The photo is a shout out to the past, but a recognition and movement into the future. The spacial arrangement of Rico and Alton in the photo is metaphoric to that of real life, and our touch and go visits are manifested in real life. We've all moved on for the better, but it was nice making a long time friend while we could.
Happy shoppin' everyone. Don't tell anyone with a pressured water gun about what I just mentioned...and I would like to put it on the record that I nor anyone I am affiliated with sprayed that.
