family parties that end with Vincente Fernandez ballads and high-stakes poker games, Rudeboys, cars that smell like vinyl, Writers, roller skates, kids who pee-pee dance, Whittier Blvd., wandering blissfully, the first sting of a new tattoo, glitter stuff, the sun on my shoulders, bottled beer, Manchester in 1978, Brooklyn in 1989, California in 1992, Kingston in 1967 and Brazil in 1968, red lipstick, dancing in my car, smooth concrete, rooms full of books, rooms full of records, baby lotion scent, Chicano art, Alva Wheels, Independent Trucks, music trivia, mineral water, nostalgia, synthesizers, disco bizcuts, postcards, the smell of a new country, Lucha Wrestling, sweat & suntan lotion, booty bass, yard sales, cruisin', Japanese Street Fashion, Duran Duran Videos, mimicking animals at the zoo with Andrew--anything unpredictable and conversations in costume.
