I had a great time. Streetlight was great but short. Reel Big Fish was super fun. The crowd was really into both bands and almost everyone knew all the words. I like feeling the floor move when everyone jumps up and down. There weren't any assholes dancing down front, just lots of good natured shoving and thrashing. I lost several pounds in sweat. It was terribly expensive. $6.50 for a decent beer in a plastic cup! And then my van got towed from Safeway. $15 cab ride and then $370 to get it out of the yard. There were 2 other groups who also got towed who were at the show. FUDGE! additional reflections I had mucho fun dancing last night. I didn't get knocked down at all, but my forearms are all bruised. I skanked hard. A cute girl told me I was "fucking awesome" (for my age!). sonicliving.com/event/1043986 www.bayareaska.com/SKABoard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4495

I had mucho fun dancing last night. I didn't get knocked down at all, but my forearms are all bruised. I skanked hard. A cute girl told me I was "fucking awesome" (for my age!). Then today I made a 5-0 stall and spine transfer at CSP for the first time in over 6 months. I'm on a roll!

lunch today

I had a stressful morning, but was able to get out of the office for a couple of hours and get a good hour of skating in. The weather at the Lake Cunningham park was perfect today and there were only between 0 and 3 other skaters in the whole huge park. I felt really good, even though I didn't skate great. I decided I wanted to do an over-turned frontside kick turn into revert with my hand down on a flat bank. It should be easy, but I must of tried 50 times before I got one right. I didn't fall hard ever, but when I got back to work I could barely get out of my car!

I guess after I cooled down all the twisting I had done came back to haunt me. This growing old stuff kinda sucks.
