day 2

2008-02-15T20:26:00.000-08:00

after eatting a good fucking breakfest we made our way to the border. being parinod about being a dirt bag/punk rocker, i borrowed daves clothes so i looked "persentable" to the border guards.
no problems arroused from the crossing and we were home free to make our way to Rye

sessions were skated and cameras were fucked up. we lost some border/intro/skate footage, but managed to gain some skate footy back at the 6 o'clock session
lots of beer and manual rewinding of tapes followed though the night

Day 1 footy

through the snow storm to fredericton we drank a lot of beer to forget about the bad road conditions. eddie murphy kept us company on dave's laptop as we drove though the shitty weather.

we arrived in Fred town to see huge amonts of snow, shit i haven't seen in years. after through the neighbours newspapers at each other and finishing the rest of the beer, we passed out so we could wake up early to hit the road to new hamp town.

Day 1 Tomorrow

2008-02-13T05:08:00.000-08:00

Well, Tomorrow we hit the road - We're still waiting to hear from Brian at Eastside in Fredericton to find out if there is an indoor mini ramp or something we can skate for an hour or two during our stop there.

Our local Slave Hero Peter MacDonald has hooked us up with a couple of boards for the trip - Apathy Apparel has also been kind enough to flow some gear to us so we don't stink out the hotel.

We're all hoping that Desi makes good on his Facebook threat to take the bus from Brooklyn and meets up with us in Rye.

I got confirmation from "team" Ottawa that they are now booked into the hotel and will be arriving sometime on Friday.

We have upgraded the Ford Taurus to a sweet, sweet minivan so now we have an extra seat which is potentially going to be filled by Cap.

He hasn't got back to me yet so if there are any other hope-fulls, drop us a line and we'll put you in as the go to guy if Cap bails.
