An epic night. One worthy of song and praise. The maddest of props to my skating crew, Megan and Alex. Loving the times tonight as we went through ALL of Washington, D.C. Dupont, U-Street, Meridian Park, Adam’s Morgan-ish area, Embassy Row, and Georgetown. And then there was the crash I took. The hard crash. The 20mph crash down the biggest, steepest hill we could find in Georgetown. I challenged it on my longboard…and LOST. I’m not going to lie it whupped me pretty darn good. As I type this the adrenaline is still flowing but I am pretty sure my right index finger is either broken or sprained, I have some road rash on my elbow and shoulder, my left hand is all skinned up, and my jeans have an eight-inch long hole in them from the road burn. This all occurred at like 20mph. Apparently I should be dead or in the hospital, but somebody upstairs must like me (I did go to church on Sunday). So here are the quotes from the most awesome of nights. Chow. (I’m going to the ER in a few hours probably)
Note: Following a dispute with Brian McMath I would like to clarify that “Quotes of the Day” is a copyright property of Adam Conner. And patented. Booyah.
(thanks to Megan for assistance with tonight’s quotes)

Adam: “Oh. OK.”
-Chris Miller on icing with a bag of peas
Adam: “I broke my finger.”
Brian: “I heard.”

Brian: “Geez, it only took you, what, 36 seconds to launch into your mama material?
-Adam Conner and Brian McMath on my silvered tongued wit. (His mom loves the silver tounge…)
