late night

We had to do a wedding, and it was about as good as could be hoped for. Something like 1,000 people, with dual 50ft projectors, a bottle of wine and a bottle of scotch at every table, 16 courses - some of which were endangered animals, local thug government oldies getting wasted and knocking shit over, and thumping beats over tinny screeching megaphone speeches. 

I was suppsoed to skate at banciao after with RMJ and skto, but (and now the internet lets me down adn I cant get 411 vm 5-9, so i have to skip to 10 - actually, i m glad that something has escaped the clutches of this tarpit) no one showed up and my phone was dead so I rode the blue line for 30 out there, foudn out the ledge is too dark (i hope that doesnt mean the spot is dead, but they definitely only killed the lights at the ledge) so I skated the rest of the plaza for an hour or so but noone else showed up and I didnt have a phone, so i caught the last train towards home. 

I got back to the hood and lzyk wanted to talk about things and go buy things, so we did for a minute, but i ended up going to the brown line. aww shit, i just found 411 issue 7. that's better than 10. 

I warmed up at the three stair and got the esseintails in too short of a time, but I accepted it and went to the brown line. to be specific, I went to the ledges that are in the middle of a six lane road, adn are only skatable between 1:00 and 4:00. I spent several hours there, waxing and attemping to skate the ledges, in between teh deluge of taxis and scooters that is still constant, even late at night. I got more *********s than ever before, and longer ones too, but i didnt come anythign like as close to hwat i wanted. I eventually ad temper tandtrum, after  some cops came up to watch and made me miss several lights pretending like i wasnt playing in traffic, and then i missed the next one completely, and gave up and skated home. 

on the way, i came up on the home park, with its lovely black and yellow rails around the perimeter. i tried the rail by the beer/ocd rules, which is, ten tries, unless you get closer than  a previous try, in which case you get ten more. but this was so late that the neighborhood was slient, and each try sounded like artillery, a,d and i never made it, adn i m emberrassed that i broke the rule sof ethical skating and skated my house late at night and pissed everyone off. worse, i didnt make it. 

411 -7 is maybe the first time i saw margera. 

as i left and pushed back home with some beer, a slew of cops came up. i had been deserving it all night. weirdly, they scooted past and i ducked into the home garage and they came back pas the other way and kept going. either they werent after me, or they didnt see me.
