thursday turned into an interesting day. i was expecting to hear from drie who was in town with an explorer from dallas about going to bct. met them at the building around 4:30 and did that and the roof. they were headed to toronto to meet up with ian and kowalski for dinner and invited me. sure. i had nothing else to do.

picked up kowalski on the side of the road near union station then drove around to find a place to eat. ended up at an italian place in the gaybourhood. ian met us there. great food. after that we decided to go crane climbing. that’s a first. i’m not a climber. so we drove out to the cityplace construction sites but were foiled there, lots of activity. and it was like midnight at this point. so we went off to the college park site. no problem. got inside easily and took the stairs up to the 26th floor where we encountered a locked door. shit. i half jokingly asked if the elevators worked. and they did. so we bypassed the locked floor and continued our way up. 52 floors. yikes. i almost died. somewhere in the 30s we heard music. crap. someone else was in the building with a radio on one of the 20s floors. oh well, we were already this far…once we got to the roof i was way too tired to climb the crane. that and i decided that i have no problem with heights if i’m on something solid, but i don’t think i would have done well on the crane. so i chilled there while the rest of them went up. then we all hung out on the roof for another hour probably. so on the way down the man with the radio had moved up to the 40th floor. we got by him though, and took the elevator the rest of the way down hahahahahah.

took ian to his car, took kowalski home, and drove back here for drie and brian to crash on my floor.

69 flights of stairs yesterday. my ass and thighs better be stunning now. surprisingly, my legs don’t hurt, but my ankle does…
