??MYSTERY BOX HATCHES???
There is a report that one of the Mystery boxes donated to the Space 1026 Auction, has hatched!Remnants of one of the boxes which turned out to be a huge rectangular shaped egg, wrapped in paper and a gooey slime substance has been found in the storage area where the boxes were placed. The discovery was made by Space 1026 founder, Karl Paul. “Dude, it was weird, I just snuck into the Space late Sunday night to pull my normal pranks, like leaving the windows open and pooping on the toilet seat and setting off the alarm, and like, I see this weird slimey thing that looked like the Jersey Devil or that thing on GWAR’s ODERUS URUNGUS’ crotch, craw out of a box and fly out the back door.” Karl Paul also cleaned up the mess and disposed of it outside of the Space. A source close to a source that has a source, says the box was supposed to hatch on Friday night and added that elaborate failed prank cost thousands of dollars and years of genetic research.

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY!
SHEPARD FAIREY gave us work. JOSEPH HART gave us work. KATY HORAN gave us work. CALEB NEELON gave us work.
MATT LEINES says he is giving us work. How ’bout you?
No? Well you better come on Friday at 7 and buy some stuff. We just got four 18 x 24 signed Shepard Fairey artists proofs, an amazing Joseph Hart piece (that we thought got lost in the mail), and super sweet new paintings by Katy Horan and Caleb Neelon along with a million other things (check some out here).
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.
And if you don’t like what you bought the next morning, you can always re-sell it on eBay and probably turn a profit.
