There's a lot of heat around the guy, and I can't help but feel like we loved Anthony before the rest of the world decided to take interest. It almost feels weird to see him making the news circuit, kind of like a good buddy has found fame. I felt close with the boys because they weren't really mainstream, they had a close, loyal community, but no colossal amount of fame.

If Anthony becomes a media icon as a result of this escapade, then for better or worse, I'm fucking proud to have invested in Anthony before every dime a dozen asshole felt it was the hot thing to do.

He's picking up quite a bit of fame, and we're the original fans.
