Sneakers

A Memory of Eddie K Au by Fleming Au

It must have been 1992 when the movie, Sneakers, came out in theaters.  Eddie went to watch it with a few of his friends and couldn't get enough of it.  So the same night he watched the movie with his friends he told me that he wanted to take me to watch it as well.  The act alone of Eddie wanting to take me somewhere made me happy, since at the time I knew he saw me more of a nuisance than anything else.

So we walked over to our regular bus stop corner and after about a minute of waiting Eddie turns to me and says, "I told you I would take you to watch Sneakers.  Here it is."  I was a bit confused and didn't know what he was talking about.  He then pointed above to a sign that read "Sneakers".  It was the name of the bar on the corner.  I started to smile and laugh as did Eddie.

The bus came a few minutes after that and we headed to the movie theater to watch the real Sneakers after that.

  • I remember Eddie raving about this movie. When something really excited him he would convey it to anyone who'd listen.
