RANN, your biography is like a space-time paradox. At various points you've said you were going to underground squat parties in the mid-90s, you were a regular clubber by 1998, you've worked in record stores, music hardware stores, moved to Canada in the early 00s and then the US, and apparently had a ten year career in a bike shop somewhere in all of that, and yet you're not close to 40 yet? |
I started clubbing really, and frankly in hindsight worryingly, early. I looked like a child tbh, but I had what we'll call a talent for "adjusting" ID's and could bullshit in front of a bouncer. Helped that my Sister's BF had a friend with virtually the same name that had a driving license that apparently showed I was 19. I think the only club i ever got turned away from was the Cross, where the bouncer said, I don't give a shit what the ID says, there's no way you're over age.
It's a little weird you remember all that (although some of it is off). The squat parties (like pickle and whirlygig) were all ages as they weren't legal - fuck, there were kids and even animals walking around the altter - and I moved to Canada before I was 20. Some of the jobs overlapped (I started working in bike shops when I was 12 btw as Saturday boy and then full time did it on and off for the best part of a decade).
I suppose I'm technically closer to 40 than I am to 30. I think I'm only a tiny bit older than you if memory serves correctly.
