We figured we wouldn't stay more than 30 minutes. We parked at either end of the lot and left our car lights on so we could skate around. We took turns sweeping an area clean. The parking lot that looked so smooth was actually terrible for skating on! It was really bumpy and rocky despite our sweeping... and we were too afraid to try any of the moves from practice.
We decided to ditch the library and find another spot... Except my car battery was dead from leaving the lights on! (Her car started right up... apparently I have a crappy old battery. Now I know.) We called for the Calvary to give my car a jump, since neither of us had jumper cables (ugh!). Just when our friend arrived, so did the police!
The policeman wasn't upset with us, more worried that he didn't know we were down there. (since the library is near the police station too.) I think he was expecting to find some teens causing trouble, not two ladies roller skating... If only he had seen us cleaning the parking lot earlier on our skates!! Ha! He was fairly amused, and then gave us suggestions on parking lots that might be good!
After this late night fiasco, we decided skating wasn't in the cards for us. Instead, we ended the night with a slice of pie from the Local 24 hour diner.
So, not a total fail :)
