Super fun time being a “Roller Ranger” at the Dreamforce convention with a bunch of my skate peeps last night. We were basically roaming entertainers on the plaza of Chase Center, creating a fun ambiance for Dreamforce attendees, on their way to see the Foo Fighters play in the the arena. I got to do…
A couple of weeks ago, The Midway, an electronica focused club in San Francisco, hosted a roller disco in collaboration with the Church of 8 Wheels. It was a really dope night of skating to disco / EDM / house with a crowd of excited folks. Photographer Saylor Nedelman got some sweet pics of us…
Yesterday I had the opportunity to reprise my “3 Hats” piece that I performed last March at the 6th Avenue Skating Place. This time it was for the annual San Francisco Skate Showcase put on by the Church of 8 Wheels on Sunday July 30. I was pleased with how my piece turned out last…
Yesterday I’m headed to Golden Gate Park on my motor scooter, cruising up Pine Street in moderate traffic. I’m traveling in pace with the other cars around me, and maintaining a good amount of distance from cars around me, cause I’m not an idiot. I turn on to Masonic Boulevard and notice this in my…

The year 2022 was a return to “normal” post-Pandemic life, which was wonderful. There were no major life changes, but there were a lot of wonderful moments to remember. Health I feel blessed to be in my 50s and able to do all that I do, from skating to dancing to biking everywhere. The biggest…
Just for funsies, I got together with my dear friend Liz to shoot a freestyle lindy hop dance video this weekend. We agreed on a chill, bouncy song to dance to, a mashup of ”Lovely Day” by Bill Withers and ”Good as Hell” by Lizzo, performed by the band Pomplamoose. And we found three gorgeous…
A couple of years ago, I put together a TRON costume for $60 that I was pretty proud of. I decided to enhance it for 2022, which happens to be the 40th anniversary of the original TRON movie. The most visible addition to this rebooted costume was an LED visor that definitely turned a lot…
