Description:
The Seventh place I was fired from:

Behind the post office. (Winter c.1992)

I just got laid off because business was slow, never stole, never messed with anything, never hated the job. I kept working weekends well into 1994. If this job was still there I would work it for minimum wage.

Mike Pringle and his brother Steve should write the manual on how to treat employees.

This is the only job I really miss.

I learned about Nag Champa at this job and a million other things about art and music from the owner Mike and all of the really cool people who hung out there.

I would work for Mike again even if it were cleaning toilets in a rest stop in the middle of nowhere off I-5. I got to meet all these awesome graf. Artists and underground rap people.

The place was a hangout for rappers, DJs and graf. Artists in SD. I was just a nerd working the counter.

This is my description from a guest appearance on hundredflowers profile before I signed up on Platial:

[This now defunct store in Downtown San Diego still has a branch located in San Francisco but in the early 90s it was a cultural space to graffiti artists, collectors of Kicks and Acid Jazz Heads. It was not uncommon for Twist to do a mural on the exterior while DJ Greyboy spun records inside. Early instore appearances by Wu Tang pre-enter the 36 chambers release, early bizarre ride Pharcyde and Del pre-no need for alarm were just a few of the people that graced the store before they reached superstardom. Sundays were especially chill here. I will always miss this place. Owner Michael Pringle also did Greed clothing and 432f tradeshow.]
