i love when that happens. actually met the mister that way and it turned out we had the same kindergarten teacher two years apart…made even cooler since I had moved away from that area 25 years ago!

It’s possible we’ve had the conversation before, but I don’t remember. One of my best friends from the 80s graduated from Grant in ’89. We had gone to Sepulveda Junior High together.

Deja-vu! Have we had this conversation before? I graduated from Grant! I am a true Valley Girl 80s all the way.

Dude, San Fernando Valley is totally part of L.A. no matter what anyone says. I graduated from Van Nuys High. Valley girl all the way.

Oingo Boingo was the first concert I ever went too and I grew up in L.A. Ha!

Hee-hee! I too lean towards a Day of the Dead motif year round. Chalk it up to being from L.A., an infusion of all things Melrose Blvd in my teens, and a young love for Oingo Boingo.

I’ll tell you a little secret, the intent was to do different designs on them seasonally, but I liked them so much I still have the skulls on them.
