We were at the Shells. That’s where we always ended up. Just to the south of the San Mateo Bridge. It was a small beach on the San Francisco Bay. We went there after buying up. We already had our weed and our smokes but we had to buy up. That meant hanging out at the corner of the strip-mall on Foster City Blvd. Where there was a liquor store. One of us would loiter just near the entrance, waiting for some angelic soul to deliver us to Bacchus. It usually came out like this: Hey, can you buy us a 12-pack? It was the old days.
