hurricane

What’s good homie how are things?

Good, chillin.

Your name is Brendan, not Brandon, does that get confusing? I am pretty confused.

Yes, it gets them confused, but I tell them to shut the hell up, it’s not hard, it’s fucking Brendan.

So you’re from America right?

Um mostly.

Where abouts?

That would be Springfield, Mass.

How old were you the first time you got drunk?

Hmm around 15, I guess.

Nice, I was 4. How old are you now?

22.

You moved around the last few months from MA to VA, and sounds like you got extradited back to Mass for some crime spree?

Yeah, something like that. Binging one night, and stealing Christmas decorations, my friend was sad his house wasn’t decorated, so we decorated it.

Was he hyped?

He never got to see it, the cops removed everything before he woke up.

What’s your least favorite spot in Mass?

Easy, STINKY (aka piss ledges).

What’s your favorite spot?

I am gonna have to say UMASS.

What is your favorite and least favorite moment on a recent skate trip?

That’s pretty easy, drinking and skating at the snake run, and checkin out the sketchy buildings. And the snake run as the least favorite too, with stateys aiming shotguns at us, not so fun.

I would have thought getting a bottle to the head would have not been so fun.

Nah, the worst part about that, was the bottle didn’t break.

Alright, so you’re movin out West in January, what’s up with that?

Bachinsky invited some East Coast homies to stay out in LA for a few months, help pay some bills and shred, so I needed to get a J.O.B, but yeah hyped to go out West and kick it for a bit.

Any homies you wanna spread some love to?

Fo Sho, Mom and Dad, Luke@thecollectiveclothing, Dustin@torktrux, Glen@ defiantwheels, Dan & Frank@theory, Andy@dcshoes, VA beach homies, my Western Mass homies, Rondo, Rob Collins, Nate Greenwood, John Sant, my brother and sister, Mikey P, Greg Sanoki, and you, for the fucking fantastical questions, and of course Hoodlum Skateboards and all the homies. Peace.
