Progress?

I have yet to make an on-site interaction but I have scheduled two interviews, one with my friend Connor, a skateboarder and longboarder (who does not frequent the Owen Bell skatepark but skates a lot around town), and one with my acquaintance Joe, who goes to the skatepark frequently and is also a photographer like me. Having established a connection of some sort makes me feel a bit better about not having had any "interactions" yet but soon that won't matter because I will interact with someone the next time I go, no matter what. During my last visit, right as I was going to approach a skater, the skater in question entered the skate park and since I'm definitely not going to just walk in he wasn't accessible at that time anymore. As a back-up plan I was going to approach an acquaintance who was skating but he didn't stop riding back-and-forth long enough for me to get his attention. I guess the worst they can say is "whatever" so I should just yell their name or something and get over myself/my fears. I remain motivated!
