"was that little kid just throwing the goat?"
jess and i had the pleasure of escorting our little cousin samantha (a troubled youth who's staying at camp pennell for a few weeks) to the skate park in high point last night. they were having an "all night" skate, complete with loud bands, pizza, and prizes. we stayed long enough for:
-sam to kick major butt on her borrowed (and very heavy) board. i was worried she'd fall and get embarrassed or something, but she did fine. at one point, jess wanted to go outside. i was hesitant, thinking sam wouldn't be able to find us or that something bad would happen in our absence, but finally gave in when jess commented, "brooke. she makes love to women. she knows what she's doing."
-me to get hit on ("are you staying all night??"). i think he was 12.
-us to witness the fabulousness of the "band". they looked like they belonged in a 1975 stoner movie. or point break. they opened with "molly's lips" and progressively got louder. i think they might be my new favorite band.
-the novelty of punked out little kids *owning* the park to wear off. seriously, y'all. you haven't lived until you've seen a 6 year old with a mohawk give the finger to his skateboard.
so, good times at the skate park. i have a feeling i'll be taking sam there again before she leaves. or to see that "lords of dogtown" movie.
ps. yesterday i saw a license plate that said, "lil b".
*sigh*
so close.
