Last week in SLC, WeSC and Frank151 got together with the city’s top shop/gallery Fice for a gallery show featuring the one and only Ricky Powell. With Ricky on hand and the best and brightest in the Salt Lake shred, music, and art scenes in the house, things got so crunk that the SLPD was called in. After some major Jedi action from Fice maestro Corey Bullough, the party was allowed to continue long into the night. More flicks after the jump.
The hooligans at King Shit just dropped what they hoped would be the definitive interview with Ricky Powell. Definitive though it might not be, it is definitley 100% Rickster. Check the video here.
