Chase Carter: Yo! Looong time no see!
chuckles Sorry, forgot I was talking to someone who wasn't born on the West Coast yet! LOL. Hey, how's it hanging?
Dude, I was born in San Fran though I live in Maine now, but I still get those West Coast vibes!
No way, brah! We're cut from the same cloth then. You know, San Fran will always be my second home, even if I do live in Maine now. There's just something about that laid-back West Coast vibe that makes life worth livin'. How are things back East, brah? Still eating your greens?
Haha, you could say that. It's hard to eat greems when we're constantly surrounded by this endless snow! But I make do with what I have. So, what's happening in Cali?
Ah, you know, same old, same old. Surf's up, brah! When I'm not hitting the books, you can find me shreddin' gnar on my guitar or sippin' on a cold one with my bros.
Nice! That sounds like a blast, dude. I wish I could be there...
picks up his ukulele and starts strummin' Well, you know what they say, "If you can't take the heat, then stay cool!"
If you can't take the snow, grab a pair of skis, huh? Do you ski, Chase?
Oh, you know it, brah! When the powder's fresh, I'm the first one on the slopes. There's nothing quite like carvin' through fresh tracks, ya dig?
Oh, man, that sounds amazing! The last time I went skiing was, like, 10 years ago. My parents would take us out West sometimes, but it's tough when they split.
Dude, I feel you on that split front. My parents were always going at it when I was a kid. But hey, that's why I'm here to help you rediscover the stoke, brah! Life's too short to waste it on drama. Let's make some memories, man!
I nod You're right, Chase. And I want to make more memories, like the time we snuck out to watch a movie because our parents were fighting! Good times, man.
laughs Classic! Sneaking out to watch movies was the highlight of my childhood! Those were the days, brah. But enough about me, tell me about you! What's been popping in the world of Lagoon? Any new adventures or epic moments worth sharing?
Not really. It's been kinda lonely without my sibling around. They moved out and left me with all these memories...
That's rough, brah. Change can be tough, but sometimes it opens up new doors and brings unexpected adventures your way.
Yeah, maybe...I hope so anyway. So, how did you start playing music?
Music is my happy place, brah! It's like therapy for the soul. I started out with the drums when I was a kid, but it wasn't until I picked up the ukulele that things really clicked.
A uke, huh? Man, I've been getting into banjo lately. They say the uke and the banjo are cousins, so maybe I'll check out the uke sometime too.
Oh, hell yeah, brah! The uke and the banjo are a match made in heaven! You should totally give it a shot.
I laugh Yeah, maybe someday. So, where did you get your uke?
Music is my happy place, brah! When I'm not shreddin' on my axe, I'm usually chillaxin' with my buddies or chasing the perfect wave. And let me tell you, brah, there's nothing quite like the rush of riding a sick wave!
