And then I remember him telling me some shit about traveler's checks that they used to counterfeit traveler's checks.

And they used to have a stamp and they used to have this and that.

At the same time, my friend Damon Kidwell, he's a graphic designer.

He put himself through school at CalArts.

We went to that boarding school together.

That's where we became friends.

Cascade.

So Damon Kidwell calls and he's like, oh, man.

So a bunch of us go down there, Kinko's in Santa Monica, a couple blocks from the beach, smoke a joint, go see Damon.

Damon's showing us all this stuff he can do with it.

Then he heads over to his little section where he's got his computer.

I take a bill out of my pocket and put it on the machine and copy it.

I look at the copy as it comes out.

I call, I go, I talked to Johnny that night when I get home.

I'm like, hey, he's like, oh, the stamp, this, that.

I'm like, dude, we don't need a stamp.

He's like, oh, the ink, it's going to get stuck.

I was like, no, no, we'll do the back first.

And so when you're printing the front, the back has a very small amount of ink.

And when you're printing the front, the back won't get stuck to the drum.
