Barnaby Harris:

On June 10th, 1997, I was driven to the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, CA. On October 21, 2002 I was driven to the Carron Foundation Treatment Center in Wernersville PA. Slumped down in the torn-up passengers seat of my then brother-in-laws white, Volvo station wagon, I thought to myself, "it's a sickness." Three years later, and finally sitting up straight in my own car, I started itsasickness productions. Built on the back of a life lived to the extreme, itsasickness is dedicated to the celebration of the extreme, virtuous lifestyle. Not the temperance, patience, abstinence kind of virtue, but the adventurous, intelligent, obsessive, bold and brave kind. Everybody's got something they can't stop doing... itsasickness.
