Tonight was our year end party at work, and it was baller. We finished up at 22:00 on the 17th floor, and I went to meet some friends in the streets. My new colleague was surprised when I described my plans for the rest of my night.
I met RMJ and IS at Taipei Station's banks. In between, I ran into a couple of legends, skating flatground on rickety tiles outside of a yaki, because they 'needed a break from eating and drinking beer'. We got kicked out of main by the homeless mafia, and then proceeded to many lil spots in the area. RMJ hit a tall boy's ** ***** and it zipped, and his skateboard hit the foot of a glue sniffer in a wheelchair. It was fucked up, but actually, the bottom of the wheelchair seemed to protect the swollen rotting foot.
We roosted at a special seven where there is a rather unique microspot. It's a curb to mellowest bank, so mellow that it's a bank in any normal sense of the worse, but you lose speed going up and gain speed going down it, so it's a bank. There is also a stone "curb", big enough to grind, but so small that your wheels are only mm off the aspahult. The piece de resistance (sorry FA and amis, ximen was too far away tonight) of the spot is pretty hard to describe. It's a 90 degree, smash in grind, to the right. It starts high and finishes low, and it's tight and tricky, and there's no way to ride it out, unless you get to the end of the whole thing. Mostly, we never made it because by the time we go there, we were too drunk. Tonight, Rmj made it.
Stooping, we discussed the finer points of mothra and saw some hoes run their pattern and some amg's run theirs. Then we discussed the trash truck that they had seen in ximen; a monster, piled high with as much shit as could fit on it. I saw the photos. It was amazing. Then an old woman rode by us on her scooter, with a cardboard box tied up to the back of her scooter. it was loud.
Then IS and I had a couple of last rounds on the roof, and we swapped stories of teenage vandalism and we threw pistachios down onto the street below. I just looked at it, and little white dots are everywhere. I'm not a model to which anyone should aspire.
This was a fun night.
