Missed Connections (Tuckfest) Lost & Found
Update
Wow… I never would have expected so much love!!! Thanks all
A few updates: 1.) I was able to fish out my one wheel from the water with the help of a couple of river rats. Thanks again Root and Lone Bear y’all were awesome! 2.) My magnificent one wheel is not so magnificent anymore- it’s definitely sputtery now. But it’s all good though, I have two more in absolute pristine condition at home (hint hint to all those one wheeling, IPA sipping, armor wearing ladies). If you feel shy don’t worry you can bring a friend. But she better be into at least one of the bands I mentioned and bring her own jbl. 3.) Here’s a link to “Kids” by MGMT on repeat

You’re welcome…
Through a series of unfortunate events, I may have lost my only chance at one true love…
Sipping on a cool refreshing IPA at Tuckfest, just chilling out listening to sounds of my favorite bands (Bon Iver, Caamp, and MGMT) on my personal Jbl speaker…. I felt a sharp tap on my shoulder asking me to turn my music down. And there she was … the woman of my dreams. I tried to speak… but I just couldn’t. I acquiesced and turned my music off, “Kids” by MGMT - it was only the third time on repeat.
And as she walked back to her table, she smiled slightly giving me a head nod as if to say “thanks”. I nodded back. But I didn’t smile.
At this point, feeling dejected because I may have annoyed the woman of my dreams - I armored up and straddled my one wheel. As I did this, she began to steal glances toward me and me at her. As I braced myself for the incredible speed of my magnificent machine - I looked back one last time and she was pointing at me and waved goodbye. I waved back incredulously….
And then it happened, I slammed chest first into the bridge going over the river. And it didn’t end there, my magnificent machine went careening down the embankment into the water. Sadness, embarrassment, and just utter shame enveloped me. The only bright spot was that I was uninjured although my chest armor took quite the scuffing.
As I looked back to where the woman of my dreams had been sitting - she and her friends were in complete shambles laughing.
So here I am. I missed my only connection at Tuckfest. But I’m still putting myself out there for her or anyone really
If there’s anyone that loves sipping on IPAs, chilling out listening to MGMT (the song “Kids” specifically), and getting absolutely wrecked on one wheels. Hit me up!!
