In case you weren’t able to make it out to the recent Vans halloween party, Greg Dewitt is able to fill you in on a little bit of the happenings.
It was the Friday night before Halloween and I was heading to a party sponsored by Vans in South Philly. My brother Ryan works for Vans and said I should stop by to check it out. When I pulled up to the Philly Warehouse, a key-holder only ramp run by Scott Kimenc, the party had spilled into the alley and I could hear The Trowels, a local Philly band, tearing it up. I saw Ryan right off the bat. We grabbed a beer and climbed the ladder to watch the session unfold. There were quality costumes with my personal favorite being The Kenzo’s, two people who were dressed as a couple from Kensington with a Cabbage Patch kid in tow. The warehouse doors were open and the bails of hay below made a soft landing for those that decided to skip using the latter to get to the party in the alley. However, this led to Johnny Law making an appearance, ending the party earlier than expected. Unfortunately, Chuck Treece’s McRad didn’t get the chance to play. We broke down the Vans tent, packed up the truck with the rest of the Halloween decorations and headed across the bridge to our favorite South Jersey bar for a night cap. – Greg Dewitt
