Beastie’s Court

By Paul-is-a-Future-Relic @ 8:43 am

Here’s the second installment of the XLARGE offices. I showed you our back lot the last time. The Beastie Boys use to run half court basketball games in this building in between recording sessions and finding great musical geniuses and treasures like Sean Lennon. The original backboard was made out of plywood, but was shortly replaced with a glass one that is still up today. Heard that the games would get pretty vicious. We share the building with a production house called Fondue Productions. They occupy the space where the studio and half court was while XLARGE occupies the floor where the Grand Royal offices were, so games are suspended until further notice. The guys at Weekly Drop challenged us to a game, so we may have to push some of the furniture aside to put a whooping on those Boston kids. Hopefully they’re not like Undefeated and run scared.
