I got to teach myself. Honestly, kind of. It stuck with me. I taught myself how to play guitar in late teens, early twenties. Just kind of like folk stuff. What did he play? Your classic... Rock'n'Roll, Pusha Man und Zeppelin. Auf Akustik? Auf Akustik. Das war immer in meinem Haus.

Ein bisschen. Bisschen groovy? Ja, ich war nicht ein Hippie per se. Einfach ein freier Geist. Wie kommst du nach Portland? We had to meet somebody there. We had a job at a skate camp actually for a summer. Because we ran out of money. This is in Datchpee, California. Met some friends there. They invited us to work on their farm up in Humboldt. Pop farm?

And then went down there. Dann haben wir gesagt, wir wollen zumindest ein bisschen mehr nach Portland schauen. Was war das Jahr? Das war 2006. Okay. Ja, 2006. Also das war der Peak von Portland. Es war gut. Es war gut. Also du gehst da hoch und denkst, das ist es? Es war groovy? Wir lebten in der Van, vier Blöcke von wo mein Shop ist, in einem Parkplatz. Ja.
