Revs' Subway Autobiography Page Found: "

From New York Urban Exploration:

'Down in the tunnels you quickly learn that there are reoccuring names, and these are the names of people who have, years earlier, combed through these very tunnels we explore today. Smith estimates that REVS covered up to 80% of the subway tunnels.

With recent discoveries, we were given with more than enough clues as to where REVS‘ obscure ’first page‘ is (which we had all seen in ESPO’s book.) So tonight, we decided to roam the tunnels for it, with an unneccessarily large amount of people who were in it for the adventure. A few of us wanted to see the fabled first page for ourselves. What we discovered was far beyond our wildest imaginations. An entire emergency exit, transformed into what my fellow explorer, Hanvey described as a ‘shrine of sorts.’ The walls were wallpapered with old wheatpastes that influenced today‘s whole ’street art‘ phenomenon. There were drawings that the guy would use to draw on canvas and bolt and cement onto doorways. And in this very spot is where he, again, took graff to a creative new level.’
