A Day With Your Boy.....Andy

Andy with his pose for the "blog"

I woke up on July 17th inspired, I had been awoken by a call to skate and the movie I had been looking forward to for quite a while was in theatres on this very day. The movie I am referring to is clearly "The Dark Knight". The struggle in the morning to choose a spot was tough but eventually we settled on the high park banks. Rumoured to be the worst spot in Toronto I was pleasently surprised by how much fun it was. We skated, we copped, and we left. Our next spot was the "imo" not so much fun bump to rail. Matej skated, copped, and we left. Unfortunately when we have no where, where people want to cop tricks, we just loaft and end up chilling. Our session had ended but the epicness had not. We made a quick decision to see the most epic movie ever played on the silver screen, "The Dark Knight". I proceded to the theatre at 8:30pm to buy tickets and wait for the 11:00pm showing. Me and a few buddies held the place in line while everyone else was showing up. Basically we got the best seats in the theatre and saw the best movie of the year. Not to give anything away but when you learn of the disappearing pencil trick you will be hyped.
