This happened early December last year, but I thought it would be great to share. I was working an unscheduled shift downtown fully unaware Vans was opening a flagship store in the city. On my usual calorie burning walk to the train staion, I noticed chalkboard out front bearing "All Hail Cardiel," so of course I stepped in.
Low and behold, to my surprise, John Cardiel, the skate legend himself, was DJing in the middle of the store. Of course only a handful of people inside knew of him and all these hipster blokes were waiting on custom made hats. But this was definitely an incredible moment and could not leave without meeting him.
It took a while, but I was able to grab a pic with him. He's completely down to earth and had only the best things to say about Canada. This was one of those moments I'll cherish 'til I'm six feet under. All hail Cardiel!
