Chill Cam Dump: Friends, Bums, Booze, and The Hub

I'm at the Bro Bowl once again. Is this thing getting blow'd up anytime soon? Who's got a status update? There are a lot of Bro Bowl photos at that website painted right there |
The vert ramp is going to resurrect itself like that one long haired guy with the really important father. I believe he came back from the dead in three days. We're going to need a little more time than that because this is real life, not superstitious human traditions at work |
Ingredients for a party photo: Beer - check. Cigarettes - check. People you don't know or care about - check. Bar you will never go to - check. That's Jake, Porpe, and Erin, locals at the crusty Hub. Jake is the most girl crazy dude I know. We were passing notes to girls in the bar like junior high |
Derewenko built a ledge. Cracks in the sidewalk leading up to a spot freak me out and turn my legs to wet noodles |
Some TV show came in and interviewed Schaefer about the loop slam from years ago. He's still getting mainstream coverage from that. He claims, "It's the best thing I never did." We had to close the Park for a bit while this crew did their Hollywood thing |
Would you accept a hair growing contest challenge at this stage? Giles tried to set me up on a $100 hair farmer challenge. No way |
Pause for a foot fetish |
Jon Mann needs some hair. I hooked him up. Totally righteous comb-over. No one can even tell |
Pat Stiener sums up a typical night at The Castle with this text message |
I think bubble gum would have worked better than this sketchy caulk we had. Everyone knows it takes stiff, hard caulk before you can begin to slide up and down |
Alanna's in town for the Pro Contest this weekend. We're at St. Patty's Day Parade in Ybor catching beads and bad karma by throwing them back at people in the Parade |
Nice float. Welcome to Florida |
That's Savanna at Czar. She's hot and I'm not even drunk |
Knuckles and I had a long talk about dog food, water bowls, cats, and barking techniques. I wasn't out of my mind at all. Not one bit |
I met the most interesting crackhead walking home from Ybor. This lady is only 23 and just got out of jail for selling crack. She's homeless and married to a husband she can't find who is also on the streets of Tampa somewhere. She was super nice and answered all my questions about her crazy lifestyle |
The fake condo sign downtown is now hanging up at The Hub. I guess the news did a story about it which brought it to the owner's attention |
That's my friend Angel, another local at The Hub. I'm pretty sure he's homeless, too, but I don't want to straight up ask him that. He's always at the bar spending his last few bucks on a PBR and telling me a good story from his younger days |
Maybe we should be skating instead of hoola hooping. Yep, good idea. Actual skate photo coming soon, maybe |
