On Saturday we made a run for some Eastside parks. Duvall first. I describe it as kind of a mini Nude Bowl replica with drawn out trannies and exposed aggregate. Tim Hayes, who worked at Fallout in the '80s and '90s, left town for a few years and played in some killer bands outta TX, came back to take over the shop in '98 or '99 before its eventual demise in 2002. He also crunched some mean FSGs.
Tim and Mark Holt at Crossroads, the next park we hit. Jak's guys made a showing at the Funhouse.
Monihan reflected in the drive back to Seattle.

Ray Stevens II made a showing Saturday, here with Tim. Ray played in Los Olvidados, the Faction, Drunk Injuns and even a stint in the Odd Numbers, and now plays in the Clay Wheels. He also does some solo stuff and DJs. All around killer guy. Ray was in my wedding
Alex, skating Delridge, moments before... he broke his elbow in three places. Stay up, Snoop!
Mike from Jivaro tosses up a frontside.
Nobody had heard from Nels, although we knew he was going to be in town. Ron went by his parents' place, but they didn't know he was going to be in town (oops). He was skating Lower Woodland when we got a hold of him and told him to come by Delridge. Nels still has it.
Since we were in West Seattle, we decided to stay in West Seattle. Our rides bailed, so we ate some food and did some karaoke at a Chinese restaurant. Boisterous times indeed. Nels and Ron catch up in front of Beth, while Morris tries to get out of the way.
Cody Boat and Morris.
We brought a few beers back to Beth's to close out the night.

ReplyDeleteNels lived in Indiana for a few years -- he did his doctorate at Purdue. He's from Seattle originally, and now lives in Colorado. Ripping dude!
