Lots of People At The Rink

There were a lot of familiar faces at the Rink on 87th yesterday. Among them was veteran JBSKATER Nick. This is one of those nights where there were lots of people at the Rink. The entire room was packed and the air was hot. It took very little movement to get your shirt and your body absolutely drenched in sweat.

The Rink Has a Little Make Over

There is a new painting on the far wall inside the Rink and it looks great. It seems to give the room more depth. The neon colors and the custom imagery give the room a look the reflects the current customer demographic. Although the wall mural looks really nice, it doesn’t make up for that lumpy skate floor. The Rink probably has the most deceptively dangerous skate floors in the city.

Slow Cyphers At The Rink

We get it. Everything about doing a cypher, we get it, they are fun. Not only are they fun, they are necessary. They build that sense of community that’s needed to keep our skate world thriving. It’s a little token that keeps people coming back. However, during cyphers at tonight’s session there must have been 30+ people in the same area. There was barely any space to skate.

Glenwood Now Has A Price Tag

Finally, the day has come, Glenwood now has a price tag. Glenwood Roller Rink is up for sell, as it should be. According to some unverified source, the price of the property is $750,000. That’s not bad at all. It’s about time Glenwood got new ownership. But, who is it going to be and what is going to change?? Looks like we’ll all just have to wait and see. – Pharaoh

Skaters Wait For The Doors To Open

Much of Chicago is well aware that the doors to Glenwood are closed. Skaters are talking about this iconic skating rink and having disclosed discussions about who may be the next to take over. The clear reality is that the skaters of Chicago need skating rinks. For other reasons, the city of Chicago and the suburb of Glenwood both need skating rinks. They are good for the economy. Our local skaters visit on a regular basis and contribute to their income. People from out of town travel to Chicago with the objective of visiting the rinks that Chicago skaters make popular.

The Classic Martini at The Gage on Michigan Food

The Classic Martini

I give my highest recommendation for The Classic Martini at The Gage on Michigan. They get the highest, top rose from me. The cocktails are great. If that’s your style, start with the Seasonal Cobbler. It tastes good and the alcohol content is low, I give it a 7 out of 10. Taste and alcohol content are the top grading points to me. With that, I give the Sour Cherry Boulevardier a 3. It tastes like orange peels but the alcohol content is reasonable. Finally, this review gives you their classic martini, The Classic. It tastes like a martini and it hits like one. They spear on an olive the size of a walnut with a lemon peel inside, 7 out of 10. Go to The Gage, enjoy the hospitality, enjoy the ambiance and the crowd and enjoy the menu. – TGKP

It’s Ok To Take A Day Off

Some days your mind and your body just need a rest. This could be a day where you know that you could do more but you just need to do nothing for a while. It’s ok. That’s called rest and recovery. Be encouraged to get that sleep, that rest and that nutrition. Working as much as you can as often as you can is admirable. Taking a break is mandatory, your body and your mind both need it. – Pharaoh

Know Your Limits

Work hard to achieve your goals. Keep going and never give up. Set short term milestones and plan for rest. You will damage your health when you work without getting adequate sleep and rest. You can very well kill yourself from over exertion. No one wants that to happen at all. Many people brag about how they work endless hours and how they function on only 4 hours of sleep but take heed to this advice. Be careful. If you push your body too far, your brain will turn the lights off and you’ll have a cool meeting with death.

Exercise limitations. Limit your working hours and your output for your own safety. It won’t serve you to get sick trying to get rich. You’ll spend all of your rich years paying for year battered body.

Be Kind To Yourself

You do need to be tough but don’t be tough on yourself, the world is going to do that for you. Be kind to your mind and be kind to your body. You’ll find that you can heal your body just by the way that you treat yourself.

The Book Of Judgement Isn’t Done

So much has been going on at the same time. Many projects are working in tandem with one another. In short, I started the album but I haven’t finished, not even close.

Don’t Be Discouraged

I didn’t finish the music but business is still moving. We also have the JBGODS Rose Awards making its debut. Consider being a voting member.

New Speed Cameras In Chicago

If you like to exceed the speed limit in the city, there is a new speed trap that might encourage you to slow yourself down. There are now tactical speed cameras tracking your speed and they are easy to miss. These new cameras are compact and black so they keep a slimmer, darker profile. They aren’t the large, bulky white ones that we are used to, no. It’s easy to fly right past these ones without noticing them. You don’t get that distant warning with that large, bright flash. That feature is gone now. Be careful!! Slow down in the city. – Pharaoh

Drive Slow Anyway

Everyone is always in a rush. It is not at all necessary to drive at 50 miles per hour through residential streets. You’ll get there, relax. Get used to taking your time. This is how you avoid accidents and tickets. We have enough to pay for already. Don’t let these new speed cameras in Chicago cost you even more money.

A Skate Session In Dolton Tonight

Word has lightly spread that there is a skate session in Dolton tonight. The Gods may pay a visit. Skate moments become permanent marks in history when the Gods are present. – Pharaoh

Skating Outdoors In Dolton

Pharaoh has not yet visited the Dolton rink. Maybe some day he’ll bless the area with his presence. He’s not the biggest fan of skating outside. Although Pharaoh does enjoy getting a good sweat, there’s just something about sweating outside during a session that he doesn’t like.

A Moment With The Gods Is History

JBGODS is the most independent and structured organization in JBSKATING. When the Gods take part in an event, it is sure to be remembered. Events of the skate session in Dolton tonight are now etched into the recordings of history.

The Rink On A Saturday

The GodKing Pharaoh is planning on visiting the Rink on a Saturday night. Let’s see what the music and the vibe is like before Sunday.

Saturday night’s session did not get an immediate review from Pharaoh. As a result, we have no idea what he thought of it.

The Rink On Instagram

Pharaoh might have posted a live video to the JBGODS account on Instagram during the session. We honestly don’t remember what he said about the session and he doesn’t remember how it was. No one knows if that is a good or bad things.

The Rink On A Diet

Pharaoh does not normally go to the Rink. You would normally see him at Glenwood on Mondays and Wednesdays. He’s stopping by the Rink on a Saturday since there is no more Glenwood.
