This is going to be a long story and I think we committed kidnapping.
I was around 17 and still getting survivors benefits from my dad being dead. I got 927 per month and pretty much fucked around and skateboarded. I had dropped out of high school by then.
My friend Bill had finished high-school and was in college at the university of Oregon. He was living with a friend from Hawaii aptly named Ralph. I was sitting on my sisters porch one day and Bill pulled up in in his 1986 Mercury Cougar
He was like, “Want to go to SF and see the Beastie Boys live.” I didn’t pack, I just jumped in the car.
So we start driving south. Bill, Ralph, and myself.
We were in Eugene in my aunt lives in Medford and the concert was in SF. Pretty much a straight shot down I-5.
We stop at my aunts and she is concerned and gives me a few hundred bucks so we can get a hotel to stay in Medford for the night. It was around 9pm.
We look for a motel and found a pretty cool skate spot at a bank. So we skate for a bit and meet two girls. We tell them that we are going to the Tibetan Freedom Concert. Being idiots we asked them if they wanted to tag along.
Thing is they lived with their dad in a hotel and had us go to the hotel so they could pack up clothes. Once the dad cuaght on we drove away really fast with them in the car. We totally thought they were legal.
So we end up in SF and can’t find a hotel so we sleep in a hotel parking lot near the airport and get kicked out. So we end up sleeping in Golden Gate park. Bill decides that sleeping in the trunk of his car is best. Ralph has sex with a 16 year old in the car and I sleep under a tree a 100 yards away.
At least I saw the Beastie Boys live.
