Not much to do with vert skating but Hey when you got a picture of yourself and King Diamond with no make up on then you gotta post it: Jason Oliva with King Diamond 1988 Washington D.C.

I admit this does not have much to do with skating except for me (Jason Oliva) sporting the now Uber Vintage Pipeline Skatepark T shirt (photos of my trips to the pipeline to follow) . I figure if you have a picture of yourself with King Diamond (GRRRRAAAANNNDMAAAAAAA!!!!!….bust out your “Them” cassette for the lyrical reference) and you have blood red demon eyes to boot then you Must post away. This was taken in 1988 at The Bayou in Georgetown, D.C. I worked there all throughout college and met alot of peeps (Mike Muir, The Ramones, Ray charles, and Bob Dylan…some group, to name a few) Mr. Diamond (Sorry Neil but you are not the most important Mr. Diamond to everyone) was cool I made him a pizza and we took this picture with an old school disc camera. He played a crazy show and I stood next to a guy with devil horns coming out of his head that looked so real my heart skipped. A night to remember!!!

P. S. Look on the board behind us in the photo and check out the Nov. 28th show….

HELLOWEEN with CIRCUS OF POWER….Hell’s Yes I went!!!
