i grew up next to _the_ skate ramp in my city (Lincoln, Nebraska), so I got to hang out with all the local punks on a daily basis.
My 13th birthday was the same day that everyone's skate-punk hero's at the time, JFA, were playing the soon-to-be infamous Brickyard, that empty shell of a building/former warehouse which was rented out for punk shows for a couple years.
Anyway, Al (singer of the band Baby Hot Line - a band I joined the next year) noted on the flyer that this was bernie's big birthday bash
mom dropped me off at the show.
I did my first proper stage-dive.
My life was forever changed.
25 years, and one week ago tonight.
