A Stolen Skate from Park Lafontaine

Getting to Peace Park today I was amazed to find that for the first time in 3 weeks there were no one on the ledges or the middle mani pad. The tension in the park was still high though, apparently someone got stabbed early in the morning according to Sergio. Skating today was Phil Lavoie and Charles Rivard chilling doing shit flips, while Darcy and I played a couple games of Poser, during which I was robbed for my open full can of coke. What’s really crazy is that my can of coke was literally right beside my camera at the base of the southeast lamp pole, and they didn’t take it. Whoever stole my coke left my camera, like what the hell? I’m not complaining.

Also in the park today was a bunch of French rappers, doing some kind of battling. It was funny to watch these kids spitting in each other’s face, acting all tough in multi-colored plaid shorts with fluorescent clothes, while being scared of the locals. Their all lucky Phil Beauséjour wasn’t there, he’d a put them in their place for sure. On the other hand, at least they were doing something constructive instead of getting into trouble.

The best part of the day after the skating was buying a complete for real cheap of these two dudes. They were asking for 30 bucks, claiming to have found it in Park Lafontaine by the statue. Who knows, maybe they did find it after some drunken kid left it there, or maybe they stole it from somewhere completely different. Either way, I worked their price down, and now I have some trucks and wheels to hook someone in need up.

Rap Star Daybi Out of Jail

Rap star Daybi was seen at Peace Park today after being released from the courthouse. He had been arrested with a warrant from 2008 for disturbing the peace. When asked why he came straight to Peace once he was set free, he responded, “I was hoping to find Gab (Ekoe)”. We took the opportunity of freedom to give him a short interview about his Peace Park experience for the Peace documentary.
