“Right after the 9/11 attacks I was living near Oakland in California with a buddy who had also grown up in the skate/punk scene of the 80s. We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with '80s memorabilia. We got all of our favorite skateboard decks off of eBay, bought a bunch of old independent trucks, we got a credit card so that we could buy 720 off of a videogame vendor, we sat around listening to T.S.O.L. and The Misfits playing 720 and pretending that we were still living in our childhood.” StillsChildhoodListeningSceneOur ChildrenIndependentCreditBunchCardsCaliforniaSatPretendingPunkApartmentShellsShocked80sFillingTruckBuddyCredit CardDeckChildlikeSkatesMisfitsEbayVendorsVideogameOaklandMemorabilia Author:Rick Remender
