#4823 – the competition

This was posted over 18 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

the final bout for the day just ended about 30 minutes ago; that last bout was very very strategic, it was impressive. i’m offloading the photos of it now to my laptop for later editing before i go out to find an ATM and the afterparty.

while i was walking towards the elevators along with everybody else, this one guy was trying to read my photographer’s badge:

guy: “so who are you taking photos for?”

me: “well, i’m with charm city, but i’m taking photos for all the leagues since charm city isn’t here.”

guy: “do you skate with the guy’s league? harm city…?”

me: “yeah!”

guy: “then i’ll see you in october! i’m with the shock exchange – abe drinkin’.” *extends hand*

me: “killer glennuine draft.” *shakes hand*

guy: “HAH, NICE!”

eta: actually, i’ll probably skip the afterparty tonight. i could go for some food but i’m not really hungry, and schlepping around to find an ATM so i can get some food at the bar (like last night’s bratwurst and “french fryes”) doesn’t seem worth it tonight. a-photo-editing i will go, then!
