The event is sponsored by Cartoon Network and the Network will be giving away free swag throughout the event. A graffiti artist will also be on hand to paint through the duration of the event. Fans of the Cartoon Network show Toonami won’t want to miss this. Skaters and non-skaters alike, come early and stay late. For more information please visit the Skater’s Edge website at www.skatersedgeinc.com Since you’re from Boston and a skateboarder I thought I’d alert you of the following news:

I live in Florida, which is nowhere near Boston, but I'd be happy to contribute in some way to this too in the event that I visit Boston, which is fairly likely. Thanks for mentioning this. :) As far as there being overlap between the communities, well... it's not surprising, given the penchant for beer and freedom both seem to have.

Hi! I'm a programmer and Free Software geek, as well as being an inline skater. I even did some pro gigs for Salomon back when I lived in NYC (Free Skate/Flatland Street, not Ramps/Pipes). I turned 30 this year, and I can really realate to the feeling of getting older. For me it's my knees - I spent so much time trying to go higher and harder launching off bigger and bigger things, I didn't really think of the long term repercussions to my body. It's funny how these two communities come together... "It may be a lonely sport but there is a feeling of freedom when hitting a trick." I think you hit the reason right there ... kinda like programming in some ways. Heh, cool. Hi!
