hen Pharcyde first banded together we didn't know that we would survive so long. We started as a group called "phatboys" Unknowingly we soon met other friends that had the same ideas and that were the same top caliber person. They were Josh Souterland, Josh Short, and Ben Anderson. The original group of people was Kevin Atkinson, Michael Girard, and me, Kyle. They were from one side classroom while we were on the other. Thus forming two sides that were far away..."Far Side". Get it? :) I soon switched it to "Pharcyde" a nicer name. Josh Short and Ben had very good knowlage of Computer Programing while I had excellent knowlage towards html and java. We were mainly a cool group of guys just out for fun. The group went very well. Over the course of the school year that Pharcyde was created, we had some applications toward membership in the group. Matt Johnson being one of them we admitted him into Pharcyde. Soon Brad Stapleton was allowed too. Pharcyde has survived for over two years and during half the duration the first group (phatboys) banded to create Pharcyde to hang together the rest of the year. We all shared the same outlooks as well as a good friendship. So far no one has left Pharcyde and I hope to keep it that way. Through these words I hope Pharcyde can ultimatly understand them and soon reflect upon them. - Jester/Founder of Pharcyde 5-24-98 In rememberence of the group that started it all I created a banner for phatboys. Long live the legend that did it all - phatboys.
