Okay.
Long Island's not that cool either.
It's cooler than South Carolina.
You know, now it has some of the best restaurants in the world, arguably, but, um...
It is the most cosmopolitan place in South Carolina.
That's not saying a lot at all.
You know, being into skateboarding and punk rock where there was a hustle required because the mainstream structures were not going to,
open up to you, they weren't gonna provide support for you.
So bands figuring out how to promote themselves, book shows independently, build a network, share resources.
A lot of that also was part of skateboard culture.
All the companies were run, it was like children under the corn.
You know, if you were 30, you got the boot, basically.
Everybody's young, running these things, and making inexpensive promotional materials.
So I was...
I was 19, it was the summer after my freshman year of art school, and I was working at a skate shop making homemade T-shirts.
And also when my boss wasn't there, I would take some of my homemade shirts in to sell and then just keep all the money and not give any of it to the shop because I was poor.
So I was teaching a friend how to make a stencil one day and looked through the newspaper to find something for him to practice on and found this ad for wrestling with Andre the Giant.
And I said, why don't you make a stencil of Andre the Giant?
He said, no way, I'm not doing that.
That's stupid.
