I did some travelling last week to the east coast. First stop was at a buddy's shop called Civil in Warwick RI. They were breaking down some of their shop ethics over a couple of beers. "First off we won't sell colored grip tape. Secondly, when we see kids come in with Heelies, I pull them aside and ask them if they want to be the kid that gets the crap kicked out of them all their life. And lastly, we refuse to carry white sunglasses." I was like "why white sunglasses?" They asked if I ever owned a pair (no) or ever saw the type of dude that runs them. I totally drew a blank on it. Well fast forward 5 days and I'm at Jess and Steve's wedding and Andy the buyer for Zumiez rolls in sporting WHITE GLASSES. That's when it all made sense.
haha loved the part on the heelies and white sunglasses. Totally makes sense!
ReplyDeletechris just sent me this link. i was like "wow, i guess johan doesen't sell those guys." chris: "no, he does." hahaha. that's some cold shit.
ReplyDeletep.s. we do sell white sunglasses, but only to chicks.

Hows that though Rob? Fucking white glasses. We left RI in the morning and was driving down the road and we spotted a rare silky boner driving with a set of white Oaks. We were like "HA!"
ReplyDeleteBTW, Andy the dude here, I love this cat. He's pretty fucking funny. He acknowledged his white ness with the glasses. I didn't tell him anything he didn't already feel.
