"Sekt"

It doesn't matter where you are, Sekt has been there. Street corners, drains, rain gutters and brick walls. Our very own building has been graced with the tag of the elusive being. We have to wonder, is that a name, a statement, some sort of slang or just a favorite word-cum-identity? We counted 100 "Sekts" in a quarter-mile walk to lunch and back. When does the tagging happen? Late nights we endured here and no sign of a person, yet in the morning new tags appear. One person we mentioned the urban phenomenon to saw a tag on an overpass coming from Fort Worth--now that's dedication, not to mention spare time. Dallas begs to know who is behind Sekt, group or person, fish or fowl. For the love of Mike, who the hell are you?! Even if we never know, we acknowledge Sekt for the stamina and misspelling that drove the short tag to conversation status.

grrrrl

Sekt is a guy named Jay. Ironically, my brother and him are best friends and I remember seeing him a few times when I was younger. The whole graffiti scene in Dallas might as well, just be Sekt. I've driven through Deep Ellum , downtown Dallas, East Dallas and even uptown and have spotted numerous taggings by Sekt. I've seen all these bullshit articles on Sekt and reporters think you're spreading information. News flash: Taggers and Sekt are probably drinking a beer and laughing it up.I pretty much know first hand that this kid, and his homeboys, pretty much laugh it off. C'mon. An article in the Dallas OBSERVER.You reporters are spreading information that the public should know but to Sekt, it's all a game.
