Friday night, party goers gathered at the offices of Seven Days to for the South End Art Hop, and to celebrate the paper's 12 year anniversary.

Seven Days hit the streets 12 years ago, on September 6, 1995.

September 7th, 2007, revelers kicked off the Art Hop with custom t-shirts printed to order on site by Tick Tick, tasty munchies, booze a plenty and walls full of art.

Original t-shirt designs made especially for Seven Days by: Alison Bechdel, James Kochalka, Harry Bliss, and Herb & Rose.

Pamela Polston and Paula Routly talk about the birth of Seven Days and the difficulties of keeping the weekly vital and fresh.

Thanks to our readers and advertisers for keeping us rolling.

Happy Birthday Seven Days!
