Vans recently moved it HQ from Santa Fe Springs in Southern LA County to Cerritos in Northern Orange County California. Last night they threw a little open house at the new digs. No one could have expected the response, the party was huge. Free beer and wine, free food, free music and the ramp was open to all. With all that I guess you would expect a huge turn out right? Still, it was pretty insane

“Dude, thats my skull” - Sean Penn. Perhaps the most famous pair of Vans ever as seen in one of the top coming age films ever - Fast Times Ridgemont High. Seriously Fast times is up there with American Grafitti, American Pie, Rebel without a cause. If you have not seen Fast Times - watch it!
