Bring Your Own is a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in living rooms, backyards and unconventional spaces within the community. Each month, seven storytellers have eight minutes to respond to a theme. BYO airs on All Things New Orleans and is a biweekly podcast on WWNO.org.

This story was told on June18, 2015 at Wonderland Studios and later produced by Karen Gardner. The event was in partnership withLive Law, a national storytelling podcast that’s part of theInfinite Guest Network from American Public Media. The theme of the evening was "Eyewitness," and here,SkylarFein celebrates when New Orleans decided skateboarding was actually a good thing for the city.
