May 9, 2002. Three years ago today my dear friend Tim died. What to say? There are so many stories to tell, so many good times shared. I'm proud to say that I was Tim's friend. I know he was a friend to so many people, and I know our friendship was special. That was one of the amazing things about Tim--how he made me feel about myself. He did it for lots of other people, too. He died right after Slam City Jam in 1999, and even at that contest, he was making friends. Mark Holder and Billy Weatherford both became friends with Tim on that trip, after not knowing him before, and still, three years later, I still meet people who called Tim a dear friend. What a great quality... Here I am blubbering again. I will go out and skate today and think good thoughts about Tim and his family, and imagine what Tim might be doing. Today will be a good day. We're all thinking about you, Tim!

Now playing: Supersuckers, Supernova, Rocket From the Crypt, Muffs, Misfits, Seaweed, Buffalo Tom, on a mixed tape, a la Tim Brauch.
