Do the kids have big houses in Atlanta?
Cole: Hell yeah, real big… we even have a house in Atlanta called the Big House – it was built by the free masons and has an underground tunnel that leads to a shrine temple where they helped these weird little burnt kids with weird gimpy-ness and crippled-ness. At the house they have punk shows; it’s a proper mansion where old powerful masons lived and died. In one room there is a eye of the illuminati on the ceiling. Who has the best house in Black Lips? Cole: I do. I have a house with an apple tree where nearby kids come to eat when they’re hungry. You can’t top a Shel Silverstein-esque giving tree – food and shelter from raindrops. Jared: I don’t know… I like mine, but I’ve never been to Ian or Cole’s. Let’s go with mine. When you were kids where did you kick back? Any good skate parks, all age venues, corners, parks? Cole: We used to hang out on the stairs of my friend’s house or in kids’ parents’ basements where we could make messiness. Sometimes we would go to Little Five Points
