16-Astoria

Anyone who knew me when I was sixteen will recognize this jacket. "HW" is for Hot Wheels, my DJ moniker back then. I got the jacket in Astoria, Queens, just off 31st Ave and asked to have the letters sewn on to it. It was winter of '85 or '86 and the movie Krush Groove had just come out.

The Muir Woods patch came much later, obviously.

This picture is non sequitur (as is picture #4 below)
