Summer No: 3

Been some time since my last story. But it doesn't mean I skate less. Quite the opposite, sometimes less in actual hours but so much more intense with a definite zeal. My creative energy is not so much in writing now. Very difficult to explain, very easy to feel. Enhancing skills follow the same steps as described earlier, it's going through the different experiences now that make the light sparkle. Have to catch those opportunities.

There has been a huge party and I attended to give a performance with one of the dude-skaters. I was just very happy to have been given the opportunity to skate in a different place, with a different crowd in a different atmosphere. To perform 15 minutes straight is a heck of a job! in total 4 times, 1 every hour. People were great and so was the party. Presentation on stage (long time ago since I did dance performances) is a different way of doing, but with the same enthusiasm. The videocams and photographers are something I've got to get used to I guess :-S

Skate bite: My colleague told me he saw a picture of me with my skates on in a magazine and that the story was about skateparties. He did not read it very attentively, only paid some attention to my picture, but he would bring the article to show me. Turned out to be a small advertisement for a small club and I happened to be in the picture. NO skates in the picture whatsoever and not a word about skateparties...
Sure it's his interpretation of what he (thought he) saw, but I like to think of it as proof for the existence of an almost obligatory human-skates mutualistic symbiosis; My skates & me
