After a long day of wishing I wasn’t at work and pancakes for dinner John and Carleigh came over and we headed to Brighton on a cloudy, but nice evening.  We got there around 8:30 and there were less than 10 people skating.  Cool.  John and I cruised around for a bit then skated the mellower bowl while Carleigh skated the bump to bar.  John had a mesh hat on backwards and skated like it.  Lots of slasher grinds and front rocks while keeping his speed and flowing good.  I was trying some back 50s around a corner and never got it mostly due to the coping being deathly fast instead of me just being a pansy.  Actually not joking for once.After a bit John and I headed over to the street area with Carleigh.  She was almost landing front 180 nosegrinds on the bump to bar.  Ridiculous.  John was ripping everything too.  Ollies everywhere.  I was skating ok, just kinda dorking.  Took me a few tries to get the boardslide on the ledge yank up into the downhill ledge thing.  After that John and I tried doing f/s board transfers.  I eventually got one after kickflipping up the ledge to setup.  That little line stoked me out enough to keep a smile going regardless of how bad I skated the rest of the night.  The three of us had a kickflip race up the euro that John won.  Caleigh landed it which is pretty good for a girl.  Ha, that’s what the dude said that was posing kickflips and not even getting close.  Carleigh went on to also land a perfect heelflip up and a front shove.  Sick.  I failed at b/s flips as well as manualling the tall pier 7 replica.  I tried ollieing into all 3 of the banks on the downhill section and did the scariest tail scrape ollie into the third one.  I thought I was gonna die.After the lights shut off we played SKATE in the parking lot.  John won the first game.  I could not land a 3 flip at all.  Argh.  In the second game John hit a rock and bailed and came up so angry he almost focused his brand new board.  Doh!  I think the second game just fizzled out and we left to get some gummi bears and sugar tea and drive home.  Yum.
