At around 4am, I left with my friends Jake, a skateboarder, and Andres, an artist. We were on the corner of Rivington and Chrystie, and I climbed up on a stop sign to put a sticker on it—like a tag thing. All of a sudden these four big-ass detectives from the graffiti squad come out behind me. They arrest me and take me down to a precinct in Chinatown, where I spend the night.
