Wait. What?
"Setting a new precedent." - Socrates' water boy
Alternately called a "creative group" or "multimedia company," at least for now, Planet of the Grapes is something never quite seen before, offering several distinct projects that all come from the same small group of people. It's something like a band that doesn't only play music, an artistic company that delivers new content weekly on its site but is still much more than a site.
"It's a way of life, maaaaaaaaaan."- Michelangelo

We're just doing all the things we've always done, but now publicly. Sure a certain flamboyant and absurd spirit runs throughout much of what you'll see and hear from Planet of the Grapes, but then again, some things aren't necessarily so light-hearted. And like conversations, or sex, it's better with two or more people. We want to share and commune here, get in the dialogue of these times we're in. So that's why we crawled out of our bedrooms to bring you this.
"Searching for truth is like riding an ox in search of an ox." -Zen proverb
There's no middle man here, there's no one image here, so it may seem contradictory and erratic for those of you who prefer Fergie and Michael Bay movies in your Fruit Loops. But whether expressed or not, people possess a lot of different energies and moods and contradictions, and personality is dynamic. And we think some people still know truth when they smell it.
"This shit stinks"-- FDR

A forum on the Planet of the Grapes home page allows users to post their own reviews and pics. The site also features write-ups of San Francisco bathroom reviews.

THE THIRD FRY KID!!!
You don't look for trouble, but often it finds you. "I had nothing better to do" is your mantra/alibi/confession. You enjoy wearing sneakers and little else and have been accused of Peter Pan syndrome, hedonism, and voting Libertarian. You consider Total cereal to be gourmet food and exclusively use bar soap.
