Texas is too damn hot.  We decided to invert our schedule.  We wake up at 2 or 3 pm wait to blade till 6 or 7, skate till 3 or 4 am using the generator and lights, then get in the party van and rock out till the sun comes up, and start snoozing like 8 am and keep it going.  It was a difficult transition, but when there is nothing on anybodies plate other than burning urethane we can turn the town upside down like that.  So eager to start our new routine, we got wild till the wee hours and snoozed till 3 pm, we went and got breakfast at a little cafe around the time people eat an early dinner.  After we run a few errands like filling the generator up with fuel we regroup at BFree’s pad to get our blade gear together.  We hit the road to rip the streets around 7 and it starts to storm heavy.  Everyone gets bummed out that we decided to flip the schedule and then our night got iced.  We grub out at this greasy diner spot.

Everyone is itchin’ to blade, but enjoying the epic lightning.  AJ starts scheming, as he often does.  Using his fancy iPhone he discovers that San Antonio only has a 30 percent chance of rain and is currently dry.  Everyone just wants to go hit the town and give up but bossman says, “We are making a movie, lets do this, worse case scenario, you guys get to party in the van on the way home.”  With a very pessimistic cast filling the van, we hit the highway for the 80 mile drive to San Antonio.

The storm only gets worse, blading isn’t looking too promising, so logically, the dudes in the back start hanging with uncle Evan Williams.  We stop at a gas station and someone informs us the weather in San Antonio is horrible right now.  What a bummer, we are 20 miles out.  Whatever we went this far already… So we pull into the city limits and the rain gives up.  We pass a parking garage with some yellow ledges inside, Skater of the Year says he wants a piece.  We stop, he handles business and other get some deals also.  We hit another parking garage spot and get kicked out but get the “5 more minutes, but act like you are leaving” deal.  Took care of the move, and by this time the ground is starting to dry up.

The streets are dry enough to skate and we jam out deal after deal till 4 am.  Everyone got a clip, we got some wicked photos.  Bolino got in a a little too serious of a wrestling match with some random drunk kid that came by.  Bolino ripped the kids t-shirt off, AJ’s shirt got ripped off too.  The random San Antonio drunk fell onto both of the Kelso’s cameras, and we asked him to not hang anymore.  The 2 hour drive back to BFree’s was filled with Bolino’s Santee antics.

2 lessons learned:

-Bring extra fuel for the generator

-Bolino isn’t old enough to hang with Evan without losing his mind.
