Relocating...

I think I'm leaving Blogspot for Tumblr

Max Leaves Boulder

Max and I left school and met up with Ryan at Denver Park.

These dorks ditched high school to come "hard-style" in front of their new cars at Denver Park.  Oh, to be young again...

They also came up on a Vitamin Water sponsor.

We left Denver Park for Chipotle.

Tried to do some street skating... but there's still snow everywhere.

We checked out this spot on the way to another park.

Onto another park.

Then, ice cream!  I love Sweet Action Ice Cream.

Too Cold Still

I had off this past Saturday and didn't have any homework.  So I picked up Shardy and we went to check out the remodeled Washington Park, home of that semi-famous 9 stair rail.

Geese!

New set.  The rails are pretty tall and aren't really skate-able, but doing tricks over the side rails would work well.

Tricks down the 9 stair would work, but the middle rail isn't skate-able and the side rail is knobbed.  The knobs look semi-easy to take off though if anyone is really interested in that.

After that we went to The Denver Shop to hang out with Tony.

It was below freezing, but it had been so long since we skated that a flat bar, box, and flatground in a parking garage sounded good.  The session kind of sucked though, I couldn't really feel my toes.  Thanks to Andy and Travis for bringing the obstacles though.  Some skating is better than no skating.

The box.

After our session we hung out at Viva Burrito.  Horchata!

Joey points out the bullet holes in the window.

Classic Viva.

Random Saturday

Denver got a lot of snow Friday, which pretty much ruined any skating plans I had for my weekend off. Because I still had the day off, I decided to make the most of it and get some errands handled. 

I picked up Joey, and we headed to Floyd's to visit Natalie/Mark.  While I was putting change in my meter, my entire foot up to my ankle was submerged in slush.  Luckily Floyd's has a dryer, Natalie hooked me up with that.

The Bear.

These two are always killing it.  Fantastic work duo.

Joey and I went to Buffalo Exchange to sell some clothes.  Joey also picked up some shirts.

"I let my haters be my motivators"- Joey Abarca

Perfect.

Molly bought my clothes.  Thanks Molly!

After Buffalo Exchange, I went to the used book store while Joey sat in the car.  Two Vonnegut books for $16, and one is a hardback.  Good deals.

Joey and I feasted at Moe's.

I dropped Joey off, and went to the Denver Art Museum solo style to the the Ed Ruscha "On The Road" exhibit.

I couldn't take any photos of the art, but I snagged this.  Definitely worth seeing if you have the time.  Beautiful western images juxtaposed with Kerouac's classic novel.

Now I would like the snow to dry up.
