Probably few people will get this but Mike, Sean, Nick, Nick (Terry) and myself, but if anyone was around for this because I know a couple other people were...
"We'll do it live, FUCK IT!" was definitely a highlight quote of the weekend.

The beach on Sunday meeting and chilling with all of those dudes
The comp in general
Getting a call from back home asking me why the posse decided to put Mike's clothes in the freezer before we left SC.
Getting woken up by a 16 wheeler flying at me at about 60 mph.
A drunk Wojda talking to an equally drunk Slobey.
Seeing Thomas Martin ask Julian Bah/crew for a beer and only getting a response of 'We out here Blader Gang'
The 30 minutes spent afterwards trying to figure out if that was an invitation to join them out there or to piss off. (we assumed the latter)
Just saw the best trick edit. UWR is putting on the finishing touches. Should be out today.
I promised so many people I would go this yearI suck.
RIP
Seeing a few SF homies.
Shrock bringing me Cali gummies.
And the Sunday beach day easily made the trip.

forgot to mention talking to sean wicks. nice guy. he has some crazy spin to grind tricks on coping. i bought a bootleg copy of american reunion from him to help him out a bit. not sure if it actually works not that it matters if it doesn't. glad to know he's not stuck in oklahoma and now has a place to stay at in Florida

The good:
-Hanging with the tally boys I usually see
-Hanging with the major lost network of friends I haven't seen in ages
-Getting to meet some nice new people
-The comp, obviously
-Leaving that homosexual nightclub walking through downtown hell like a throng of unemployed zombies to a better bar
-ift coming through with the medicine
-Beach day was easily the best. Driving home sunburnt, drunk, with two big sandy balls and a six pack.
The bad:
-Being practically dehydrated, sleep deprived, exhausted, nauseous, faint, fatigued, and malnourished the entire weekend
-The fucking sun and heat
-The lack of coke, an ipod stereo to blast music in the room, a general party scene at the Knigs Inn, and the feeling of being old and lame
-The fact that from Tampa to Jacksonville is only 3.5 hours away, yet due to stupid fucking car accidents by idiot drivers it took over 8 hours to get there. Not to my surprise the SAME fucking thing happened driving back home, but worse (9.5 hours).
The ugly:
-The city of Jacksonville and everyone in it
-Every chunky meatball whore at Studdz Pub. I never had Louie Anderson grab my cock and balls before.
Good, clean fun all around. Hope to make it next year

Damien Wilson responding with "FUCK YOU HE HAS BEER!!" when he was told he couldnt trade me some wheels/t-shirt for a few beers early Sat morning.
Him and I bro'd down for a minnit the first night. He skates soo loose. I didn't know who he was the whole weekend then like 7 days later I was looking through edits, and saw the dude used to run a shop, and pretty much loved skating. He told me at the Pow Wow his story... But I was like... "This dude is homeless, and spinning on coping like this?"
It was cool to see Katie Kornbread again like 10 something plus years later. What made it worst was I bummed a grette off of her, then asked her name... and had a Grom moment, complete with "I bummed a cigarette from Katie Kornbread"
I lost quite a bit of shit at the pow wow.
Yeah, Katie is an awesome chick though. She skates with us locals quite often.
Yeah, I ended up getting some GC F1XS frames, a fester shirt, some fester wheels, and the GC DVD for like $60 and three beers I think. Sad part is I remember him from years back before I quit skating for awhile, and had no idea that was him. Will deff bring more beer the next time though and have some fun chilling with those guys.
