FS SHUV Patches at your house and I was, “Damn, that’s fucking gnarly.” You wore a collared shirt with color flipped up with “Fuck” written on one side and “Sex” on the other. I couldn’t believe your mom would let you wear that. Before Sunnyvale we used to all hang out at The Block. All our friends lived in this one neighborhood block and we would skate the box, burn. Fucking same shit everyday for years and years. And then Sunnyvale, and that’s history, yeah. It was me, Brandon, Little Chris, Stevie Jones, and Sean, my little brother. That was the crew. Wassup with your new job? I just joined the Union Local 332 Sound and Communication What? I have been working on fire alarm systems at Google. We mostly just do test and kick it. How did that happen? My dad, I graduated high school on a Thursday. Then had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Come Monday at 5am, my Dad woke me up and said, “Get up, it’s time to go to work.” I was like “What the fuck, it’s summer.” He replied “You have had summers off your entire life. It’s time to grow up.” and I have been working ever since. Don’t forget about Campbell Community? You winded up taking my job. Yep, worked there for 3 years at the Skate- park and community center. I did skate lessons, worked concerts and events.
