when i lived out in western ma in 03 i met this dude who skated but had never really seen videos or mags, and i gave him a copy of SLAP from that year that had an OG interview. He was totally stoked on the guy.
I ran into him not long ago, after like 5-6 years, the guy started a sick zine, opened a music spot/club, traveled the country, and just did a bunch of cool shit, he got out of his shitty mountain town- What was funny that when we were talking he said "Steve bro, i don't know if you remember the OG DeSouza interview you gave me, but that has been my total inspiration to do everything i've done since that point in time."
I thought that was pretty fuckin rad
