What do you do when 150 skateboarders come to your door unannounced? Call the skateboarder that works in the office to diffuse the situation. Skater kicking out fellow skater - never in my life have I felt more like “the man.”
The reason behind the rendezvous at the Walker is International Go Skateboarding Day, a day where thousands of skaters across the country infuriate security guards in a mission to “take back the streets.”
Skateboarding, liability, and insurance don’t mix, but I was just happy to see that this many skaters knew where and what the Walker Art Center is…now we need to figure out how to get them in the building.
Hah! That is rad. Witt, you’re totally the man. At least they let you take a picture. Make sure you send it to the cops for facial recognition.

[…] Bonus: I may be feeling absurdly crapulent, but this fantastic photo of Andrew Bird has cheered me up a bit. Speaking of flickr photos…interesting-ness has always been an absolute mystery to me. I have one recent photo in particular, of the little man, that fluctuates like crazy. Yesterday morning it was in third place for June 16th, and then it dropped a few hundred places. Wash, rinse, repeat for this morning. (Wouldn’t have noticed at all but I was invited to add the photo to this pool.) Go figure. Plus: After watching the new Superman trailers I can’t help thinking Brandon Routh looks an awful lot like Jason Schwartzman. All right, a little googling shows I’m not the only one who thinks this, but still. And: Rachel is at a conference in Seattle. So far she has encountered a street vendor selling veggie hot dogs, she scored a National Death Index ruler, and she switched from an icky hotel to a really swank one. Sounds like an excellent trip to me. One of these days I’m going to have to get out there. I’ve been jonesing for a vacation in general, and the little man has too. Hmmm. And another thing: If you don’t skate, you can’t relate. […]
