I would love to go but I won't be back in the bay area until late April. Represent. The Redwood City Roller Rink (site is down?) is one of the last authentic Roller Discos left in the state. I happen to have a great love for this particular skate rink. It was there in 1977, during a slow skate to Andy Gibbs "I just want to be you everything", that I discovered what must be THE most important thing to pubescent boys, GIRLS! Also, next to the jukebox was a vending machine that sold KISS and Skateboarding trading cards. The KISS cards allowed me entrance via an entry form to the KISS ARMY, from which I quickly found myself AWOL. The Skateboarding cards had little color pictures of my heros (Jay Addams, Stacey Peralta, etc.) riding pools, solidifying my lifelong love of skateboarding. I doubt they still have the shag carpeting on the wall but this place is a true piece of California. [ Edited by: Primo Kimo on 2004-03-14 09:13 ]
