nice story about Pham, Hope he can find his own comfortable Phamland, but I think the cops are part of the fun for him. Every Luke needs a Darth.
Also hope eddie can reclaim his shop. He reminds me this big brother figure that exist at places where youth sub-cultures thrive. Someting like uncles who run jam studio who will give bands extra time in the studio.
good job guys.
this is really good.im a skater myself.and sometimes i find it hard to even move ard and have a good place to skate.but now,society have opened up it’s minds abt skateboarding,as long as they see it as a sport.well,hope there’s a event in this in the Y.O.G!
