This is a group of 16-year-old quadruplets that I know. They were born and raised in Williamsburg, where they go to a private school.

The girl wants to be a model. She is infectiously ditzy, but hellza funny. She is also very pampered. For instance, she NEVER does dishes. Something peculiar I noted: When she took off her shirt for the drawing, her brothers, who were in the room, did not even bat an eye. They didn’t find it at all odd even though I kind of did. Her name is Tricia—as in Patricia.



The one with the curl is named Penny. He’s just a weirdo. He listens to Sonic Youth even though I would have guessed he was too young to like them. He’s also into those bands like Psychic Ills, Lightning Bolt, and Gang Gang Dance. When he heard that a girl we know wanted to go out with him he said, “I don’t do dates.” He likes wearing band tees and shirts with slogans on them, with tight jeans and Vans or dress shoes.

The regz-looking boy is a prep named PJ. He likes TRL alternative bands like Fall Out Boy. He isn’t as alt as his siblings. He plays soccer and lacrosse. He’s a total Abercrombie-and-Polo type, but he tries to make it a tad unique with a pink shirt or a white tie.

The kid with the mohawk is named Peter, but goes by PT. He really wants a tattoo or a facial piercing, but their mom won’t let him get either. He also wants to hang out on St. Mark’s and go to CB’s matinees and shows at C Squat, but is a little intimidated. He acts badass at school but he is actually the shyest of the four. BEN CHO
