The Assistant

Introducing Matt’s assistant to the unfamiliar can only be described as…recreational. Some sweat over sport, others build bookcases, while those in the know simply watch Spenser, as one might watch a vintage chimp-toy crash his cymbals. It cannot be said if his courage should be chalked up to frontal lobe damage or abnormally-sized testicles, but it would be criminal to claim that he hadn’t any (courage that is, not testicles). A combination of go-to-grunt and test-shot-stand in, Spenser is vastly approaching a two-year anniversary as Matt’s assistant, and the following collection of photographs is a fitting salute to a man who won’t find embarrassment in a single shot - but can be mildly embarrassing after one too many shots, as I was to discover in a seedy Dominican take-away restaurant. Ending with a compliment would be wise (thus avoiding the pitchfork wielding farmers of his native Caledonia), but one doesn’t have to be under duress to note how hard he works or how important a cog he is in the machine that is the Matt Barnes Experience. So a raise of theshot glass to Spenser…a fine assistant and a standup guy! 

More shots after the jump…
