Skate Date.
I surprised Sandy with a trip to Cal Skate of Milpitas. Its about 45 minutes south of SF, but I was told that its the best rink in the bay. So I looked it up and Sunday nights looked like the best night to go.
Sunday nights are “adult night”, 8-10pm it’s 25+ only. It was pretty sick. This was my first time on roller skates since I was like seven years old.
yeah, adult night. so sick.
All-in-all the place was nice and we both had a good time. I think Sandy had more fun checking out what crazy skates other people were rocking and the dance moves that older black dudes can pull. I guess after playing roller derby for over 4 years just rolling in circles gets old after awhile. It took me a few laps to get it down but it came right back to me. I think I went to a few Roller Skate birthday parties when I was super little but I never had one at a rink. I was more of a McDonalds birthday party kinda kid.
At least you didn’t get dragged to “rainbow skate” in RWC. Shay took me once and it was underware night…. Bunch of dudes on blades in whitey tighties.

Yeah, I shot the photos of the rink when we first got there (right at 8pm because were nerds) took a few shots then put the camera away. It did start to fill up for a bit. I’d say there was at least 75 to 80 people there.
And she was a little bummed on my rentals. But I told her, hey… one step at a time.
