Food, Skating, Party

On Saturday I went to the People's Food Justice Summit held at Kepner Middle School in the Westwood neighborhood of Denver.  I went to learn about what organizations and communities are doing about food inequalities in Denver, because I am doing one of my independent studies on food deserts in our city.  The summit was really informative, I got a lot out of it.
At all the food events I've been to, there is always amazing food.  These people really practice what they preach and make what they love, delicious and healthy food.  I had a breakfast burrito, strawberries, apples, yogurt with granola and blueberries, and orange juice.
This is a picture of the breakout session held by Denver Urban Gardens.  They have nearly 120 gardens in the Denver-Metro area, promote farmers markets, and teach children how to grow and eat well.  Some of the people in my group attend Fairview Elementary, where they have a farmers market selling food they grow at the school.  So cool!
After I handled my academic work for the day, I had to go to Denver Park.  Still the best place ever.
Met up with these two at this abandoned mini-golf course.
I filmed Shardy nail it.
Then onto this spot.  I really hate how short the days are getting, it makes it so hard to skate more than two spots in a day.  I'm going to start skating at 8 or 9 a.m. just to make the days count.
Dinner.
I came home after skating and arrived to find a surprise. Ryan Lovell sent me a package all the way from Kansas City!
I got an Escapist shirt, some budget whiskey that was half drank, a dollar bill, a tech-deck, and other random stuff.  I'm really excited to go out and film in this shirt.
Then I went to a Halloween party.  No, I didn't dress up.  Mason did though.  Eazy-E.
Keith was Wayne.  He is also holding the cutest puppy ever.  Thanks for hosting again Keith.
 Tyler was a cat-burglar.
Omar was the karate-kid.
Mike as Bob Dylan.
Ryan and Steph as dead people (?)
Natalie as a tootsie-roll, Joey as himself wearing a sombrero.

Boards, Wood, Bridges

I met up with Mason to pick up another board.  It was very nice of him to contribute this board, but even funnier that it's Kahlil's board that has been sitting around since Mason and I lived together.  At least it will get used now.
Then Kenyatta gave me a complete and a bunch of product. Thanks buddy!
After that I went to Vitamin Cottage and got a delicious vegan pasta and a Hansen's soda.
Denver Park!
When I got out of my car, I dropped my water bottle that I've been using for months.  It exploded all over my feet and broke. Bummer wave.
Onto The Shop.
We loaded up Cory's car with wood for DU ditch.  Scott sat on top of the wood during the ride over.
J Greer's board went into the water before the bridge was even built.
Wood!
Like a bridge over troubled water...
After skating, I met up with Tyler Haberkorn and Keith to get more skate stuff.  Tyler complained they aren't any photos of me on the blog, so he took one.
Then I got dinner with the illusive Jason Clark.  Quite a treat.
