Well I've finally gotten home and now it's time for my "What I learned" post as well as my/our thank you's.
First off a HUGE thanks to Joe & Kate, The Tway Family, Mrs. D, Rob & Lisa and the Fatman himself for offering up their homes to give us a place to crash. We'd be poorer and smell worse without your hospitality.
Another huge thanks to the race organizers for putting on, and pulling this event off without a hitch.
And a special thanks to Dave Pirnack for the coaching and inspiration. Your the man Dave!
Other thanks go out to:
- Nick for tending Bar (Keep pourin' em strong Nicky!)
- Rob Sydia for getting me into this
- Leo for taking pictures
- Nicky for being Nicky
- Sassy for taking pics and cracking us up
- Destiny and Scooter for driving and providing directions to make sure we got back to Canuckistan in one piece
- Finner for being hit by a snowplow

- Anthony and Tyler for the unrelenting dick and fart jokes
My memorable moments and thoughts of the entire weekend/our vacation:
- Daniello + Alcohol = Johnny Hug Monkey. You rule Daniello "FULL BAG DUDE!"
- Marion is the coolest scary looking guy I've ever met
- Joe I does a mean "Folson Prison Blues" cover
- Fatty sings the best Gun's and Roses harmonies and plays the stand-up bass like an animal
- Pirnack could open his own Pottery Barn
- Scooter was in Devo
- CNova is not the guy you want as a wingman if your ever trying to sneak into anywhere with a guy snoring so loud it sounds like he's swallowing his tongue.
- The Farm has the best Mexican food north of the Tijuana Border
- Fatboy doesn't mess around when it comes to Italian Pastries
- Fatboy does also not mess around when it comes to falling in the garbage juice lane of Broadway in NYC
- Skating pool for the first time rocks!!!
- If push comes to shove Jersey folk are willing to sue elevator companies about weight restrictions.
- My girlfriend can bail like a champ and come up smiling
- The Quebec/Kebbek crew are the coolest people ever!
- Absynte goes down like a mix of paint thinner and cheap mouthwash
- Julie loves Pocket Pistols

- Leo for giving me someone to gun for next year
- John Gilmore has an extra frontal lobe in his brain that houses skate and turtle knowledge.
- Given the correct variables if you go for a pee in the bushes at Tways a homosexual hummingbird will appear and try and land on your pecker
Thank you to everyone from Lisa and myself (I'm sure we forgot to thank someone). We've been grinning ear to ear for the past few days and can't wait for next year.
Much Love,
